Gutter Repairs & Installed, Fascias & Soffits

Constant Roofing guttering and fascia services involve the installation, maintenance, and repair of gutter systems and fascia boards, which play a critical role in protecting a building’s roof, walls, and foundation from water damage.

CThese services ensure that rainwater is properly channeled away from the structure to prevent leaks, flooding, and structural deterioration. Here's a detailed breakdown of guttering and fascia services:

1. Gutter Installation:
- Purpose: Gutters collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the foundation through downspouts.
- Materials: Gutters can be made from materials like aluminum, galvanized steel, vinyl, copper, or zinc. Aluminum is the most common due to its durability and affordability.
- Styles:
- K-Style Gutters: Popular for their decorative appearance and efficient water capacity.
- Half-Round Gutters: Have a more traditional look, often used in historic homes.
- Box Gutters: Designed for larger roofs, offering a larger capacity for water.
- Installation Process: Professionals measure, cut, and install the gutters at the appropriate slope to ensure proper water flow. They also attach downspouts to guide the water away from the building’s foundation.

2. Fascia Installation:
- Purpose: Fascia boards run along the roofline and support the lower edge of the roof, where gutters are usually attached. Fascia also provides a finished look and protects the roof from water damage.
- Materials: Common materials include wood, aluminum, vinyl, and composite materials.
- Installation Process: Fascia boards are installed along the eaves of the roof, providing a mounting surface for gutters. They are often painted or treated for weather resistance.

3. Gutter Repair:
- Purpose: Over time, gutters can develop leaks, sag, or become clogged, leading to improper drainage.
- Services:
- Leak Repair: Fixing holes, cracks, or gaps in the gutter system by sealing with silicone, gutter sealant, or patching with metal.
- Reattaching Loose Gutters: Sagging or detached gutters are re-secured to the fascia using hangers or brackets.
- Downspout Repair: Ensuring that downspouts are properly attached and directing water away from the building.
- Realignment: Ensuring the gutters have the proper slope to allow for optimal water flow and avoid water pooling.


4. Fascia Repair or Replacement:
- Purpose: Fascia boards can become damaged by rot, pests, or water exposure over time, compromising both the roof structure and guttering system.
- Services:

- Rot or Damage Repair: Replacing sections of fascia that have deteriorated due to rot or water damage.
- Repainting or Sealing: Ensuring that fascia boards are protected from the elements by applying paint or a weatherproof sealant.
- Full Replacement: In cases of extensive damage, the fascia boards are replaced entirely to restore structural integrity.


5. Gutter Guard Installation:
- Purpose: Gutter guards help prevent leaves, debris, and pests from clogging the gutter system, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
- Types of Gutter Guards:
- Mesh Screens: Fine mesh that blocks debris while allowing water to flow through.
- Leaf Filters: Covers with small holes that let water pass while keeping debris out.
- Reverse Curve Systems: Direct water into the gutter while guiding debris away from it.
- Installation: Gutter guards are installed over or inside the gutters, depending on the type.

6. Gutter Replacement:
- Purpose: Gutters that are severely damaged, rusted, or ineffective may need to be replaced entirely.
- Service:
- Removal of Old Gutters: The existing gutter system is carefully removed without damaging the fascia or roof.
- New Installation: New gutters are installed, typically with an improved design or material for better performance.

7. Fascia Capping:
- Purpose: Capping fascia with a weather-resistant material (usually aluminum or vinyl) protects the fascia from weather damage and reduces the need for maintenance like painting or repairs.
- Process: A cap is fitted over the existing fascia board, providing a long-lasting shield against moisture, rot, and pests.

8. Downspout Installation and Repair:
- Purpose: Downspouts carry water from the gutters to the ground and away from the building’s foundation.
- Services:
- Installation: Adding downspouts in key locations to ensure proper water drainage.
- Repair: Fixing detached or leaking downspouts and ensuring they are directing water at least several feet away from the foundation.
- Extensions: Installing downspout extensions or diverters to further move water away from the property.

9. Gutter System Upgrades:
- Purpose: Modernizing an older gutter system can increase its efficiency and durability.
- Upgrades Include:
- Seamless Gutters: These are custom-made on-site to fit the exact dimensions of the roof, reducing the risk of leaks compared to traditional sectional gutters.
- Larger Gutters: Upgrading to wider gutters (6-inch instead of 5-inch) can handle more water, ideal for areas with heavy rainfall or large roof surfaces.
- Additional Downspouts: Adding extra downspouts to handle increased water volume or improve drainage in areas prone to pooling.

10. Soffit Installation/Repair:
- Purpose: The soffit is the horizontal board that covers the underside of the roof overhang, playing a critical role in ventilation and aesthetic appeal.
- Installation: Soffits are installed beneath the roofline, protecting the roof rafters and facilitating airflow to the attic.
- Repair: Soffits damaged by pests, rot, or water are repaired or replaced to maintain proper ventilation and protect the roof structure.

11. Waterproofing and Sealing:
- Purpose: Protecting the gutters and fascia from water damage can extend their lifespan.
- Service:
- Sealing Joints: Ensuring that all seams, corners, and end caps are properly sealed to prevent leaks.
- Waterproof Coatings: Applying a waterproof coating to fascia boards or gutters to prevent rust and moisture penetration.
