Trim and fascia do more than finish the edges of your home. They play a key role in protecting your roofline, keeping water out, and giving your exterior a polished look. Here’s why investing in this work pays off:
Better Protection: Properly installed fascia helps shield your roof and attic from moisture, pests, and rot, preventing expensive repairs later.
Improved Appearance: Fresh trim and fascia create crisp, clean lines that instantly make your home look more refined and well-kept.
Increased Efficiency: Tight-fitting boards help seal gaps around your roof and siding, reducing drafts and improving overall energy performance.
Added Value: Well-maintained trim and fascia show buyers that your home is cared for, boosting curb appeal and resale potential.
Lasting Durability: Using quality materials means your exterior stays strong against North Carolina’s weather for years to come.
Every home is different, and so are its exterior needs. That’s why we follow a detailed process for trim and fascia projects, ensuring your home not only looks great but stays protected from damage.
Inspection and Planning: We begin by evaluating your existing trim and fascia, looking for signs of rot, warping, or water damage. This helps us determine whether simple repairs will do the job or if full replacement is the smarter choice.
Material Selection: Choosing the right material makes all the difference. We offer durable wood, PVC, and composite options, each with its own advantages. Whether you want a traditional painted finish or low-maintenance boards that stand up to North Carolina weather, we’ll guide you through the best fit for your home.
Professional Installation: Our crew installs each board with precision, securing tight seams and ensuring proper ventilation. Correct installation prevents water intrusion, pests, and long-term structural issues.
Finishing Touches: Once installed, we complete the look with paint, stain, or sealant so your trim and fascia blend seamlessly with your siding, roofline, and overall exterior.
Final Cleanup: After the work is done, we clear debris and leave your property neat, polished, and protected for years to come.
Not sure if it’s time to call in the pros? These signs often mean your trim and fascia need attention:
Peeling Paint or Cracked Boards: When the finish breaks down, wood trim and fascia become vulnerable to moisture and rot.
Visible Water Damage: Dark stains, warping, or soft spots are clear signs that water is seeping in where it shouldn’t.
Pest Problems: Holes or gaps in fascia boards can give insects, squirrels, and birds easy access to your attic.
Sagging Gutters: Fascia supports your gutters. If they’re pulling away or sagging, the fascia may be failing underneath.
Outdated or Mismatched Appearance: Even if the boards are intact, old or poorly matched trim and fascia can make your home look neglected.
Drafts or Leaks Indoors: Damaged exterior boards can sometimes lead to air leaks, which raise energy costs and reduce comfort.
If you notice any of these warning signs, addressing the issue quickly saves money and prevents bigger repairs down the road. Trim and fascia might seem like small details, but they play a big role in protecting your home’s structure.
Myth #1: Trim and Fascia Are Just for Looks
While they add a clean, finished look, trim and fascia are far more than decorative details. They protect your roofline, support gutters, and keep moisture out.
Myth #2: All Trim and Fascia Are the Same
Not true. Materials range from wood to PVC to composite, each with different levels of durability, maintenance, and style. The right choice depends on your home and budget.
Myth #3: They Don’t Need Maintenance
Even the toughest materials need care. Paint, stain, or sealant keeps boards weather-resistant, while regular inspections prevent costly water or pest damage.
Myth #4: Replacement Is Always Expensive
In many cases, sections of trim or fascia can be repaired or partially replaced without redoing the entire roofline. Professional assessment helps you find the most cost-effective solution.
Myth #5: Installation Is a Simple DIY Project
It might look straightforward, but incorrect installation can cause water leaks, gutter issues, and structural damage. Hiring professionals ensures everything is secure and built to last.
New Installations: Building a new home or adding onto your current one? We install trim and fascia that match your design, giving your exterior a polished, complete look.
