I just replaced some 1958 fascia boards. We live in San Diego. Barely any rain, but termite infested. I used some sort of MDF leftover from another job. Although its water resistant and the termites will not eat it, this sheet aluminum idea seems to offer sustainable protection! I’ll try this on the next go around. Thanks for the tip!
Just replaced 80 year old pine fascia boards wit AZEK, new gutters, had boss order enough to do MOTHER'S house extra on order from building 6" gutters flows much better than 5" aluminium
NOW I see why you up in the northeast use those metal fascias. We have so little rain and no snow in most of California, we don't have these issues. Few people use metal fascias. I'll look for it next time in the mountains, but I doubt they do there either.
I just paid 5 grand to have new gutters put on my house and there's water dripping behind all of the gutters that were just installed is this the gutter companies responsibility what's going on?
I don't understand why gutters should be so expensive. YOu can buy a 16 feet section at Home Depot for $25. It's not a high skill job. In my house all the gutters are on the first story. Relatively simple. Plus if I do it my self I can inspect the wood, paint it, replace it, or used wood expoxy. My roofer wanted $6,000 and said that was a discount because they were doing the roof. I figure I can do my whole house and garage for well under $1,000 in supplies. If I hire a day laborer for $250 a day, he should be able to do it in a day, two max.

Thanks, that could help all sorts of us sometime. I just learned that.
Why not just tuck the back of the gutter up under the drip edge?

You got hosed……

Aluminum flashing-encased wood seems about as expensive as just using PVC fascia board.
Perfect! One and done.
I was thinking of using pvc fascia, not sure how long pvc can last.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Question: would you recommend using a PVC fascia?
Well explain my guy thank you very much nice video....👍🏾
What about Flex Seal? Does it Work or garbage?
Why not let the sheet on roof have some small overlap then install the gutter a few inches inside to safeguard the fascia noard fro water.
Thank you for offering good info, but this video could have been much shorter by not talking about how water is wet and fire is hot.
