Do I have to replace all my fascia if only one board is rotted?

No. We perform precision carpentry, meaning we only cut out and replace the sections of wood that are actually compromised by rot or sun damage. We seamlessly splice the new, kiln-dried lumber into the existing healthy wood to save you money.

Can you match the new paint to my exact trim color?

Yes. Unlike many roofers who leave the wood raw or just apply a generic white primer, we provide professional in-house painting. We take a sample of your current trim, perfectly color-match it, and apply a high-grade, UV-resistant exterior finish.

Why shouldn't I just use wood filler on the rotted spots?

Wood filler is a cosmetic band-aid, not a structural fix. Fascia holds the weight of your gutters and seals your attic from pests. Applying filler to dry rot leaves the underlying structural weakness intact, guaranteeing it will fail during the next major monsoon.

What is a "tap test" during a roof inspection?

Visual inspections often miss hidden rot beneath the paint. A "tap test" involves physically tapping the fascia board with a tool. Solid wood produces a sharp, hard sound, while rotted or termite-damaged wood sounds dull and feels spongy, allowing us to find hidden structural issues.

Will fixing my fascia keep birds and bats out of my attic?

Absolutely. Warped and rotted fascia boards create gaps between your exterior walls and the roof deck—perfect entry points for Arizona wildlife. By installing straight, secure lumber and custom drip edges, we completely seal those gaps and protect your attic.

Fascia Repair and Professional Painting in Scottsdale, AZ

A premium roof deserves a premium finish. At Kellum Roofing, we understand that the fascia board is more than just trim—it is the structural "edge" of your roofing system. In the harsh Scottsdale sun, wood fascia often bears the brunt of UV damage and dry rot. We provide integrated fascia restoration and painting services to ensure your home’s perimeter is as durable and aesthetic as your new tile or shingles.

Protecting Your Roof’s Foundation

Fascia boards serve a critical role in supporting your gutters and preventing pests, birds, and moisture from entering your eaves. When fascia rot goes ignored, it can spread into your rafter tails and roof decking, leading to thousands of dollars in structural repairs. We catch these issues early and fix them right.

Combating Desert Dry Rot

The Sonoran Desert is unforgiving to exposed wood. Over time, the intense heat bakes the oils out of the wood, causing it to crack, warp, and lose its ability to hold fasteners. We specialize in identifying "sun-baked" boards that have lost their structural integrity and replacing them before they compromise your roof.

Identifying Hidden Rot

During our initial roof assessment, we don't just look at the tiles. We perform a "tap test" on your fascia and inspect the areas behind the gutters where water often wicks into the wood. We provide a detailed report on any wood damage so it can be addressed during your roofing project.

Precision Carpentry and Installation

We don't do "patch jobs" with wood filler. We remove rotted sections back to the nearest rafter and install high-quality, kiln-dried lumber that integrates perfectly with your existing roofline. Our goal is a seamless transition that leaves no evidence of the previous damage.

Sealing the Wood Against the Elements

Unlike standard roofing companies that leave raw wood for you to deal with, Kellum Roofing offers professional in-house painting. We match your home’s existing trim color perfectly, applying high-grade exterior paint that acts as a UV shield and moisture barrier for your new fascia.

Redirecting Water Away from the Wood

Most fascia rot is caused by improper water shedding. We install custom-bent metal drip edges that overlap the fascia, ensuring that rainwater is directed into the gutters or off the roof without ever touching the wood surface.

Keeping the Sonoran Wildlife Out

Gaps in rotted fascia are an open invitation for Arizona pests. By restoring your fascia and ensuring a tight seal with the roofline, we help prevent birds, bats, and rodents from nesting in your attic space.

Clean Cuts and Professional Presentation

Our commitment to "Couth" extends to our carpentry. We ensure all joints are mitered correctly, all nails are countersunk, and the job site is kept clean. We treat the "edges" of your home with the same artistic care as the main roof.

The Visual Impact of a Clean Roofline

Freshly repaired and painted fascia provides an instant "facelift" to your home. It creates sharp, clean lines that frame your roof, significantly increasing the curb appeal and resale value of your property.
