You have saved me so much time and money with this simple but effective idea. i am 66 years old and needed new original fascia and soffits and.got two quotes for more than $12K. Did it myself and this video was key.

Just bought my first house, and I am a single woman who is going to be doing a lot of renovations by herself! It’s videos like yours that make this possible. I will update once I replace my facia!

You’re a Good Teacher, I never thought of the L bracket.

[shaynesabala]

I love it. I been rebuilding my house by myself and I’m constantly creating things like this. I’m about to do the facia by myself so this is a good one. Thanks.

Your L-bracket is a genius idea! Used it. Loved it. Thank you!

Like a lot of the other people, working by myself and a hired hand is hard to come by so this is a great idea !!

I chose to end the sub-fascia board between two trusses and place a 2 x 6 behind the joint as a backer. It seemed very secure. I struggle landing both 2 x 6’s at the end of the truss. I don’t think I violated anything. Seemed strong. BYW, you have been a great help to me. Thank you. Your a good teacher.

Great tip - I've refurbished several houses on my own and have picked up loads of tricks like this for solo 'artists', lol. I've found with fascia's, rather than cut to cover half of a rafter, I cut a half lap joint and when they're up just clamp and screw them together - then it doesn't matter where your joints is. Bit of extra work (and time), I guess, but I reckon it's structurally more solid. Then again, I've got the time, because I don't do it for a living. Cheers.

Based on what I just saw and that comment below I had to become a subscriber. I just bought a house, have loser friends and I gotta replace my fascia. Oh and I'm a chick with no experience, not very much money but a helluva lot of determination. Even the people I've hired have done shoddy work. I can't believe what I've gotten myself into. thanks for the videos

[georgefox]

Did it, the wrong way, your video's are great for learning how to do things professionally. Thanks

Just installed 82ft of 2x6 fascia board by myself... okay, and with the help of your little friend the L bracket!

[felixhofschneider]

Great idea. Just in time since I’m starting to install the Facia board on my roof. Thanks

Everybody is always trying to find ways to do things fast and in less time, I'd say it's much better to always do things right. And this simple jig is what helps you in doing it right.

Yes I install fascia alone. I use L brackets or clamps, sometimes a step ladder with blocks on it, really anything that works for the situation.
One thing i always do is miter my joints and ends (45*). They overlap each other so you can fasten your joint and make the boards move together if they move any. It also cups less than butt joints. Also I put 2x perlins between rafter ends before putting fascia on so it will be solid wood the whole length so gutters can be installed without worrying if they hit rafter ends with fasteners (which they seldom do). If there are trees than they need to be fastened more often to support the build up of leaves if they are not ones to keep gutters clean, even with screens.

This helped me fix my fascia. We had a storm and winds, and a heavy passion fruit vine that was already pulling the fascia out about an inch, and a shade sail connected to it which finally yanked it off. It was a 9" fascia so very heavy. I used your tip to mount it back up. The hard part for me was the drip edge was catching it so I actually had to put up a bracket on both ends so I can go back and forth to adjust it under the fascia. I removed all the nails first, mounted it, then reused the nails in new positions. I then also added L rackets on them to hold them in just for good measure since it had come off once now.

As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[framnerdan]

Wow Josh I have never seen fascia go on after sheathing. You made it look easy!

[brucel.]

I love self-sufficiency!!! Nice work!!!

Thanks for the video, really cool. I use a piece of scrap plywood and just cut out the length of the 2-6 or what have you, then I make it about 1 3/4 so I have a 1/4 to slide it back and forth if need be. I use two nails, one on top and one on bottom. The trick to reusing the same nails and performing fast is use the 8s (2 3/4) nails. I subscribed because I like your videos. Thanks again 👍
