Fascia Repair in Sulphur, LA for Homes and Businesses
Fascia is the long board that runs along the edge of your roof, right behind the gutters. It carries the weight of the gutter system and closes off the roof edge against weather and pests. When water gets behind a gutter or spills over it, the wood soaks it up, softens and starts to rot.
Drip Gutters, LLC handles fascia repair in Sulphur, LA for homeowners and commercial property owners across Calcasieu Parish. We cut out damaged sections, install sound boards, and cover them in aluminum coil so the wood is never exposed to rain again. Every job is handled by a local, family-run team with over 10 years of experience.
To set up a visit, call (337) 427-1203, Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM. We look at the fascia, the gutters and the roof edge together, since one problem rarely shows up alone.

Title blockWarning Signs
Signs of Rotted Fascia Boards Around Your Roof
Fascia damage usually starts out of sight, under the gutter or behind the drip edge. By the time paint starts to peel, the wood beneath is often soft. A slow walk around the house after a heavy rain shows most of the trouble.
Rotted fascia boards cannot hold gutter fasteners for long, so the gutters start to loosen next. Catching the damage early often means replacing a few short sections instead of a full run along the roofline.
- Gutters that pull away from the house or sag between hangers
- Peeling paint, dark stains or green growth on the board
- Wood that feels spongy or crumbles when pressed
- Water dripping behind the gutter instead of running into it
- Gaps where birds, squirrels or insects can reach the attic
- Water stains on the soffit just below the roof edge
How We Work
Our Fascia Board Repair Process
Good fascia board repair starts with finding where the water came from. Replacing a board without fixing the leak that ruined it only resets the clock, so every visit looks at the whole roof edge.
- Step 1
Inspect the Roof Edge
We check the fascia by hand along the full roofline, along with the gutters, downspouts and drip edge. You get a plain explanation of what is damaged, what caused it and what we recommend.
- Step 2
Remove the Damaged Wood
Gutters come down where needed, and soft or rotted sections are cut back to solid wood. If opening the board reveals more damage, we show you before the work goes any further.
- Step 3
Install New Fascia
New boards are fitted and fastened so the roof edge runs straight and is strong enough to carry the gutters again. Joints are placed over solid framing so they stay tight.
- Step 4
Wrap, Rehang and Clean Up
The new fascia is wrapped in aluminum coil, the gutters go back up and are checked for proper flow, and the work area is cleaned before we leave.
Coil Wrapping That Seals Fascia From the Weather
A coil wrap covers wooden fascia with aluminum that is bent on site to fit the shape of the board. The metal sheds water, so rain that splashes or overflows runs off instead of soaking in. The board underneath stays dry and stops rotting from the outside in.
An aluminum fascia wrap also ends the cycle of scraping and repainting. Bare wood near a gutter line needs fresh paint to stay protected, and in Southwest Louisiana humidity that paint rarely lasts long. Wrapped fascia needs little more than an occasional rinse with a garden hose.
Wrapping only works over sound wood. We replace soft sections first, because metal fastened over rot hides the problem while it keeps spreading behind the cover. Combined with sound new boards, the wrap turns fascia repair in Sulphur, LA into a lasting fix instead of a short patch. It also closes small gaps where wasps, birds and squirrels like to get in.
Fascia Wrapping After Storms and Heavy Rain
Sulphur sits about 13 feet above sea level, and the Lake Charles area averages close to 60 inches of rain a year. Downpours that overflow gutters and wind driven rain during hurricane season test the roof edge again and again. Fascia wrapping helps the board hold up between storms.
After a storm, look closely wherever a gutter was torn loose or a limb struck the roof edge. Cracked or split boards let water in fast, and the damage grows with every rain. We repair the damaged run, wrap it, and rehang the gutter so the whole edge works together again. We also look over the drip edge and shingles along that stretch so nothing is missed.
Homes that took damage from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020 may still have fascia that was patched in a hurry afterward. A careful second look at those quick repairs is worth the time before the next hurricane season arrives.
Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Fascia Work
The price of fascia repair in Sulphur, LA depends mostly on how much wood has to be replaced and how much of the roofline gets wrapped. We give you a clear estimate after seeing the damage in person, with no guesswork over the phone.
Fixing the fascia while the damage is limited to a few soft spots costs less than replacing an entire side of the house later. An early inspection is the simplest way to keep the job small.
- Total length of damaged fascia
- Whether rot has reached the wood behind the board
- Roof height and the number of stories
- Whether gutters must come down and go back up
- How much of the roofline you want wrapped

Fascia Repair Questions

How do I know if my fascia needs repair or just new paint?
Press a screwdriver gently into the board in a few spots, especially near gutter seams and corners. If the wood is firm, paint or a coil wrap may be enough. If the tip sinks in easily or the wood flakes away, that section has rot and needs to be replaced before it can be covered. Drip Gutters, LLC can check the full roofline for you.
What is coil wrapping made of?
The wrap uses flat aluminum that comes on a roll and is bent on site to fit the face and edges of your fascia. Aluminum does not rot, swell or absorb water, which is why it works so well behind gutters. Once it is fastened in place, the wood underneath is shielded from rain, splashback and the humid air that keeps bare boards damp.
Can you wrap fascia without replacing the wood?
Yes, as long as the existing wood is solid. Sound fascia can be wrapped as it is, which keeps the cost down. Any soft or rotted section has to be cut out and replaced first, because wrapping over decay traps moisture and lets the rot keep spreading where you cannot see it. We test every board before a single piece of metal goes up.
Do the gutters have to come down for fascia repair?
On the sections being repaired, usually yes. The gutter hangs from the fascia, so the board behind it cannot be replaced or wrapped properly while the gutter is still attached. We take down only the runs that need it, then rehang them on the new fascia and check that water still flows toward the downspouts the way it should.
Why does fascia rot behind gutters?
Fascia rots when water reaches the wood again and again without drying out. Clogged gutters overflow onto the board, loose gutters let water run behind them, and a missing drip edge sends rain straight down the face. In our humid climate the wood stays damp for days. Fixing the cause along with the board keeps the new fascia from failing the same way.
