Aloha Jonny: Great job explaining how to fix this common problem. All homeowners can relate to it. It is not an easy fix. While the problem looks small, it takes time to repair it right. The root cause of the problem is the slope of the roof, putting flashing over already failing flashing and perhaps a leaking gutter end. The roofing company made their money, The gutter company made their money. Both walked away from a pre-existing problem that should have been fixed prior to their services. In real life, these people should be called back. If a roof has for example a 25 year warranty, and a gutter system has a 40 year warranty, are they really working to detour water runoff if there is a sign of extensive wood rot? I think not. The water rot explains it. Another reason rot can develop as you know is from caulking the escape route for water should it enter from above. Specifically on your project is is where the bottom of the 2 facia boards connect Killer repair work. Don't warranty it because the root cause still exists. Check out the following products which may not be in your area. 1. Abatron 2. System 3/end rot 3. Big Stretch Caulking I prefer Abatron as it is user friendly. System 3 works but is very hard to sculpt, sand and smells worse than cat spray. However both work. Big Stretch was recommended to me a few years ago by an architect. I have never gone back to other caulking brands after my positive experience. It is paintable as well. The industry needs more guys like you. Keep up the good work.
@@skyhawaii5446 Thanks so much for your kind words and thank you also for sharing that helpful information. Yeah I've been using Big Stretch lately too now! That and some Dynaflex Ultra.
Great job. I need this done in a corner of my sunroom. Not sure I’ll ever get around to it though. Wow, I can’t wait to watch some other videos of yours.
I've got this to do ....readin' my mind.... thanks for great video...perfect timing. Have a good one.... Oh, it looks like I will be doing this in time for a 'cane coming this way. Great....
Thank you SO much for this! We have a 51 year old home that needs a roof replacement. In talking with the contractor, they made a comment about how they only cover 20 feet of facia when replacing the roof and the rest would be out of pocket. That just sent off a red flag because while I don't think it all needs replacing.. im certain they will say it does. And I know parts need to be replaced, and I knew there had to be a way to repair it vs replace but wasn't sure the process. This is awesome!
Jonny, do you think that running a long strip of vinyl siding over that wood would have prevented the rot, or would the moisture still have gotten under it.? It seems really tough to keep the rain from getting into every small seam
I've been thinking about that because the corners always rot first on every house I've inspected. I was thinking maybe some large 90⁰ angle sheet metal to put on corner that slips under drip edge. Wouldn't be too bad if it was matching color or fascia
He's trying to show people how to do it yourself and save money with ordinary products instead of spending a ton of money and ripping half the house apart just to fix a corner. What's wrong with that?
@@tw3235 I guess everything in life is like that. When we use band-aids to fix things, the past comes back to haunt us in the future. His heart is in the right place with offering people a quick 1 day alternative. Theirs a lot of single moms and elderly people who could benefit from a quick fix. Sometimes TIME is the most precious commodity of all. Modern day weather resistant composite materials is the way to go now. Thanks for the reply.
@@tw3235 if you live in a climate with huge fluctuations that can be the case, but this is a mild climate. When it requires more work the next time can just patch in a piece to the ends. On the front piece can run it from corner to next patio rafter and tie in there, but I didn't want to replace that whole end rafter for such a small section of rot. Wasn't worth the labor

@@michelled0605 You're very welcome, happy I could help you out 👍 Best time to replace rotten fascia is when roof is off. Good luck with the project

@@Shadowman... Within 2 yrs the scab he added will fail.(warp and seperate.) So now the inexpensive job will be needed again.
