Carpentry Services in Austin, TX
Due to the harsh Texas climate and other factors, often accompanying an aging roof is rotten or damaged wood. When estimating a roof replacement, we will always inspect the roof perimeter. Water damaged wood (fascia) is often lurking behind older gutters and elsewhere. The perimeter fascia board is an important consideration and an integral part of a roof project as the starting point for the first course of shingles, as well as the framing structure of the roof’s drip edge. We will help you prioritize your projects. Other carpentry repair needs such as siding and window trim are a common as well but can be separated from the prioritized roof project and scheduled later if needed.

Rotten wood replacement is commonplace on a home’s exterior, especially in or under valleys, on rakes and eaves. Fascia replacement is very common maintenance item. Homes built with traditional Pine or Cedar wood products will require maintenace repairs periodacally between roof replacements and paint jobs. Concrete-fiberboard, trim, and siding are more durable products such as the smartly branded “Hardie” siding and trim collection. We always work to suggest smart low maintenance upgrades to protect your home from more costly unnecessary damage
Fascia and roof decking are commonly found spoiled or rotten at the valley bases, around pipes and roof penetrations when opening up a repair area or removing a roof for a full replacement.

Things To Note
If the customer is considering an update to a rot resistant concrete fiber product such “Hardie Board”, that consideration should be planned at the time of roof replacement. Fascia product changes will be limited once a roof is installed as the thickness of each fascia product varies.
Changing of the fascia product on a previously installed roof can affect the roof product overhang making it either too long causing an unsightly folding, or too short allowing water run-off to seep into the edge the roof structure. We will assess and make recommendations (if needed) at the time of estimation.
