Fiberboard Fascia
What do you guys do on a residental house with fiberboard fascia? All of it around the house is 3/8s by 6 inch, it's rotting and falling apart in my hands, but the backerboard 2x4 is in great condition.
homeowner wont remove old fiberboard, wants to cap right over top, but screws/staples wont grab fiber. silly question, i know :P ![]() |

Re: Fiberboard Fascia
Screws and staples will penetrate the fibre cement and fasten into the false fascia. Never had an issue with it. Would be different if it was 4/4 or 5/4 Hardie trim.

Re: Fiberboard Fascia
In the past we have use a 1x2 on the underside to fasten the soffit to . Hate when they use pressed cardboard for fascia,

Re: Fiberboard Fascia
I would replace the fiberboard with fiber cement. You can go over the top, it will look crappy, the drip-edge will look crappy. Make sure he knows that by saving 10% he's sacrificing the curb appeal of the house, getting only half the job, and he will want to do it right shortly after the job is finished.
