Fascia
“FAY-shuh”
The horizontal board that caps the ends of the roof rafters along the eave — where the gutters mount.
What it means for you
The trim band you actually see along the roof edge, and where rot shows up first if gutters overflow. It's usually wrapped or replaced alongside soffit and siding, so it's worth confirming it's sound, not just re-wrapped over rot.
Where you'll see it
Along the roof edge behind the gutters; part of a siding or roofline quote.
