St. Jacobs is famous for its Mennonite heritage and thriving tourist village, but it's also home to a proud residential community.

Why St. Jacobs Homeowners Choose D&D Exterior Finishing
Prevents Structural Rot
Replacing rotted fascia stops moisture from spreading into rafters and roof sheathing — preventing much more costly structural repairs.
Solid Eavestrough Support
New fascia provides a firm, level mounting surface for eavestroughs, preventing sagging and ensuring proper drainage slope.
Aluminum Wrap Option
Aluminum fascia wrap over new wood substrate is maintenance-free and never needs painting — ideal for Ontario's climate.
Improved Curb Appeal
Clean, straight fascia dramatically improves the finished look of the roofline — especially visible from the street.
What's Included in Our St. Jacobs Fascia Board Installation Service
Existing eavestroughs are carefully removed, the fascia is replaced, and gutters are rehung on the new board.
All deteriorated wood is removed and the underlying rafter tails are assessed for any rot spread.
Premium exterior-grade lumber or pre-wrapped aluminum fascia is installed and secured to rafter tails.
All joints and nail holes are filled, and fascia is either painted or wrapped with colour-matched aluminum.
About Our Fascia Board Installation Service in St. Jacobs
Fascia boards form the vertical face at the roof edge where eavestroughs attach. When fascia rots or fails, eavestroughs pull away and water infiltrates the roof structure. D&D Exterior Finishing replaces deteriorated wood fascia and installs aluminum fascia wrap across Ontario — restoring structural integrity to the roof edge and providing a clean, durable surface for eavestrough attachment.
Ontario Building Code & Climate Context: Ontario's wet spring seasons and freeze-thaw cycle accelerate wood decay at the roof edge. Fascia boards are particularly vulnerable because they collect both roof runoff and wind-driven rain. The Ontario Building Code requires all exterior wood components to be either naturally durable, pressure-treated, or protected by a cladding system. Aluminum fascia wrap satisfies this requirement while eliminating the need for periodic repainting. D&D Exterior Finishing uses only exterior-grade materials and installs to Ontario Building Code standards.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fascia Board Installation in St. Jacobs
How do I know if my fascia needs replacing?
Signs of failing fascia include sagging or pulling eavestroughs, visible rot or soft spots when probed, peeling paint, and dark staining. D&D Exterior Finishing inspects your fascia at no charge during an estimate visit.
Can you replace fascia without removing eavestroughs?
Eavestroughs must be temporarily removed to access and replace fascia properly. We remove, replace, and rehang your eavestroughs as part of the fascia replacement — it's included in our estimate.
What is the difference between wood and aluminum fascia?
Wood fascia is traditional and paintable; aluminum fascia wrap is installed over a wood substrate and is completely maintenance-free. We recommend aluminum wrap for Ontario's climate given its superior moisture resistance.
How long does fascia replacement take?
Most single-storey fascia replacements are completed in one day. Two-storey homes or those with extensive rot may take 2 days. We confirm the timeline before work begins.
Will new fascia fix my leaking eavestroughs?
Often yes — many eavestrough leaks originate at the fascia attachment point where the wood has failed. After replacing the fascia, we reinstall eavestroughs securely and check for any remaining leak points.
