My house is a 1958 ranch located in WI. Cold and hot weather.
I'm going to have my roof & gutters replaced and I'd like to replace all of the fascia board at the same time. there are some edges here and there that are soft/rotted, and plenty of spots that need paint. Doesn't seem to make sense to put new gutters right over questionable wood.
What's the right material? I put some white pvc trim in a bathroom recently and it seemed awesome to work with. It seems like pvc would be the perfect material for fascia boards. No rot, no paint. I've noticed that HD has it in stock at 12' lengths for the 1x6's ($30 each).
Is PVC a good choice for fascia boards? Any other materials or woods that are better in some respect?
Any specific nails to use? Stainless, large head, etc....
Thanks!
