Should Fascia Be Mitered

Each end of a fascia board requires a miter to hide the point where corners meet or the point where two boards overlap. Cutting the miters correctly will ensure the corners and seams remain tight, providing a professional look that will last for many years.

How thick should fascia boards be?

Fascias are typically made from 1-inch material, with the width being enough to cover the rafter width. Typically rafters will range from 2×6 to 2×8, although some are larger depending on the roof construction.

Should fascia be wrapped?

Wrapping your fascia board can help it last two to three times longer than it would otherwise. However, if you don’t have drip edge then wrapping will make it worse. Therefore, always be sure that your fascia wrap and drip edge are properly installed and configured by a professional.
