This backyard storage shed was over 20 years old. Squirrels had made their home through the corner of the roof and water was making its way inside. We could have rebuilt the entire frame. But a simple corner fascia repair with some wood bondo did the trick.
Some of the shingles were ripped and worn away. This left quite a bit of space for water to enter into the shed. There wasn’t a lot of damage done to the soffit, but the rot was getting worse.. The homeowner had to do something.
Midsouth Squirrels Are a Problem.
Aside from the repair, he had a few extra strips of shingles for me to fasten on the overhang. I also added some aluminum flashing. This should help with the squirrel infestation,
At the end of the day, these shed fascia repairs were inevitable. When you don’t address squirrel holes, they cab become problematic.
Material Used for the Shed Fascia Repair.
I ended up using 8″ primed PVC composite. After some discussion, it made the most sense for the shed fascia repair. The homeowner was impressed with the performance of the material in the past; so I couldn’t argue.
I ripped the material and used the extra 2 inches for trim work. Wood Bondo was used on the seams to keep the carpentry clean. I love this stuff because I’m able to sand it smooth.
Finish Carpentry Minus Painting.
The customer insisted on painting the shed fascia repairs to keep costs low. So, I couldn’t complain. I don’t blame him either. Materials are no joke in 2025. Up until this point in his life, he’d done most of his home repairs himself. So the least I could do was let him paint the backyard storage shed fascia repair.
