Hi all.
I am getting a new roof put on my house due to a hailstorm. In addition to the roof, they are going to put new gutters on the house as well. In preparation for this, I am planning to fix/replace the fascia boards and replace the plywood soffit with hidden-vented vinyl soffit as there isn't adequate ventilation to the roof currently.
I've done a good deal of research on how to install the soffit and feel pretty comfortable with that aspect (I've done vinyl siding before so I comfortable with the concepts).
The question is about the fascia. I would like to put either a vinyl or aluminum fascia cover over the 1 by wood fascia boards. If I go vinyl, how should this be attached? I will have drip edge put on the roof once it is redone, so I don't think the typical vinyl finishing strip will work. Should I face nail the vinyl soffit at the top? Also, how is the bottom held in place? do I nail up through the soffit once it is installed?
Any help would be appreciated.
