Fascia Board in North Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD

The fascia board is a vital component of your roof system, found along the roof edge where gutters attach. It acts as a barrier against moisture damage by channeling water away from your home and protecting the underlying structure. This board not only supports the gutters but also contributes significantly to your home’s overall appearance.

Soffit

Soffit refers to the material—typically wood, vinyl, or aluminum—that stretches from the underside of the fascia to the upper edge of your wall board. This component works alongside the fascia to shield your rafters from the elements and moisture, while also permitting air to circulate through the soffits and vents. Proper airflow in the attic is essential for maintaining balanced temperatures within the enclosed space. If your home’s soffit is damaged or missing, we can provide professional installation services. At present, we offer and install perforated vinyl soffit to ensure both protection and ventilation for your home.

Roof Straps

When a home lacks fascia and installing it is not possible, The Brothers that just do Gutters can still install gutters by using roof straps. These straps connect to the hidden hanger inside the gutter and are then secured directly onto the roof. For older roofs, it is not advisable to lift the shingles to insert the strap, as this can cause damage or break the shingles; instead, the roof strap should typically be fastened on top of the shingles. While this method creates a sturdy gutter system, it usually does not offer the same strength as installation with a fascia, and roof hangers are generally less visually appealing. Additionally, if your roof is made of slate, tile, or cedar shingles, it is strongly advised to avoid the roof strap method altogether.

Here are some reasons why having a fascia board (in good condition) is the best option:

Fascia provides a layer of strength to help stabilize the gutter.
Soffit is vented which prevents winter ice, water from entering the home, and keeps the home cooler in the summer months.
Open rafters with no fascia often allow for insects and animals to find their way into your home.

Fascia allows a place for the soffit to attach and close off the attic space
Open rafter without fascia get screwed into the end grain of the available wood. It is not as strong as screwing it into the perpendicular wood of the fascia board (more strength and stability when you are able to screw into grains of wood that run horizontally).

For homes that lack fascia or where installing it isn’t feasible, one alternative is to extend the roof overhang. After building out this overhang, fascia can be added to the new extension, providing a suitable surface for the gutter installation.
