Fascia Installation Services in Southwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL
Fascia boards are the horizontal boards that cover the ends of your roof rafters and support your gutters-they're critical to preventing water damage, pest intrusion, and structural deterioration. We install fascia using materials rated for Illinois climate extremes: aluminum fascia resists rust and requires minimal maintenance, while fiber cement fascia offers superior durability and 30-year lifespans. Our fascia installation process includes complete removal of deteriorated boards, installation of drip edge flashing beneath roofing shingles, and sealing of all joints with 100% silicone caulk to prevent moisture infiltration.
Our fascia installation begins with a detailed inspection of your roof edge, soffit, and existing gutter attachment points to identify rot, gaps, or undersized boards. We then remove old fascia boards (typically 1 day), install new fascia with reinforced brackets every 16 inches, integrate new flashing that overlaps your roof shingles by 4 inches, and reattach or upgrade your gutter system with seamless fastening. All cuts are made on-site using power saws to ensure exact fit, and every fastener is stainless steel or coated to prevent rust in Illinois weather.

Our Fascia Installation Process
Fascia Inspection and Material Selection
We inspect your fascia boards, measure existing dimensions, assess water damage, and recommend material options (aluminum, fiber cement, or vinyl) based on your roof style and budget. This assessment takes 30-45 minutes and includes a written estimate with material specifications.
Old Fascia Removal and Gutter Detachment
Our team carefully removes existing gutters (if upgrading), detaches downspouts, and strips old fascia boards without damaging roof shingles or soffit. Removal typically takes 4-6 hours depending on home size and board condition.
Flashing Installation and Board Mounting
We install new drip edge flashing that slides under roof shingles by 4 inches and overlaps fascia board by 2 inches to direct water into gutters. New fascia boards are mounted with stainless steel fasteners every 16 inches, then sealed with silicone caulk at all joints and corners. Installation takes 1-2 days.
Gutter Reattachment and Final Sealing
Gutters are reattached to new fascia with bracket spacing every 24-30 inches, downspouts are reinstalled, and all flashing seams are sealed with 100% silicone caulk to prevent water infiltration. Final inspection and cleanup occur on project completion day.
