I am in the process of completely replacing both facia (rot) and roof shingles (hurricane) on a 15 yr old house.
The hardi plank(sp?) installation diagrams show a continous sub facia 2x4 to support the facia and the outer edge of the soffit. The builder skipped this board where the roof edge is level.
How do I trim the end of each tail and lookout consistantly so it is vertical and even to accomodate the 2x4 subfacia without damaging the decking?
Can it even be done before the roof deck is removed? If not what about just trimming off the first 4-8 inches of roof deck to accomodate a vertical cut with my skill saw? Must the roofing contractor replace full sheets of OSB decking would it be acceptable building practice to replace in 1x8 or 2x8 sections, and would that save a few bucks?
