The Role of Fascia Boards in Your Roof's Health

Understanding Fascia Boards

Fascia boards are integral to the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your roof. They not only finish off the look of the roof but also protect the interior of the house from weather damage by blocking the entrance to the roof cavity. Over time, however, these boards can suffer from wear and tear due to constant exposure to the elements.


Insights from Our Production Manager

In Emerson, NJ, our Production Manager, Craig Buurman, has seen firsthand the effects of weather on fascia boards. He points out that moisture is a primary culprit in the degradation of these components. When gutters fail to divert water effectively, the fascia boards bear the brunt of this moisture, leading to rot and eventual structural weakness. This is particularly concerning in regions with heavy rainfall or snow, which Northern New Jersey often experiences.


Preventing Fascia Deterioration

To prevent such deterioration, Craig recommends regular maintenance of gutters and downspouts, ensuring they are free from blockages and damage. Additionally, the choice of material for your fascia boards can make a significant difference. While wood is traditional, it is more prone to rot; therefore, many homeowners are now opting for materials like vinyl or aluminum, which offer greater durability and require less upkeep.
