How Fascia and Barge Boards Protect a Roof
How Fascia and Barge Boards Protect a Roof They may look like finishing details, but fascia and barge boards have practical jobs to do. Fascia boards cover the lower roof edge and help create a neat mounting line for gutters, while barge boards protect and finish the exposed edges at the gables.
Look out for peeling paint, cracks, gaps, warping, loose boards, water marks or gutters that appear uneven. These visible changes can be signs that the roof edges need closer inspection or repair.
Regular maintenance helps keep these areas neat and protected from further deterioration. Save or share this post as a useful roof maintenance reminder, and contact BMS Contractors Corp if your fascia or barge boards need attention.
