I have used wood for soffit, facia and freeze boards ( on brick homes ) for 53 years and most failures I have encountered has came from not preparing the wood properly ( back priming and painting and edge sealing ) I was taught to seal completely all edges and surfaces before installing and today most contractors just install bare wood and just paint the exposed areas. Good job on your prep.
It’s mind boggling how some people think they can cut costs on things like this. Just like the soffits weren’t replaced when the new gutters were replaced.
Dude, I just want to say, I admire your ability to get things done. Also, I love your ability to charge the way you do! I live in Texas, and it's very competitive down here, but you give me hope and make me add value to my own labor! Thank you man
Finishing up Part 2 of this series. SUBSCRIBED. Thank you for this informative tutorial and others. I'm no carpenter but I feel confident enough to tackle this type of repair on my house.
I still can’t understand why people prefer to use wood trim and not PVC trim like Veranda. After it gets painted it looks identical to wood. And most importantly it lasts FOREVER! No more wood rot, critters, and pests cant damage it. Its wind boggling to me. As a handyman my wood rot repair work here in the DC area I insist the customer use PVC trim. Its forever so I don’t have to worry about my warranty. Not to mention it helps my reputation to install a great innovative material on ppls home.
I framed houses from 95 to 05 in Michigan. 3/8 rough sawed plywood and rough sawed cedar 1x6. 8x16 soffit vents 6 to 8ft apart. I prefer 2in continuous vent strips. Looks uniform and vents much better. You can also tint primer to match paint color. Nice videos, keep them coming.
I like to see how people strategize building task... you are a good strategist. When I work the task at hand out in my mind and make the necessary list it all goes more smoothly. Of course there are always surprises (factor x)..
I bought my laser thermometer from HF and I love it because of the instant reading of surface temperatures. Here in FL most homes; new or old, are mostly wood construction on the eaves, soffits and fascia.
Its good to see your channel growing so well. I like that you have started explaining things more and have added the intro at the beginning and summary at the end to your videos. Love the content. Your weather, 80F to snow storm is like where I live. Looking forward to the next video.
Just found your channel, I'm going to try and Tackle this job myself.. Not much on woodworking but I think I can take down some and replace it as it was. I will be painting and sealing all edges and seams
People don't realize how quickly soffit and fascia can get out of hand. Or how much work and how filthy repairing it can be. I've replaced a couple thousand feet over the years and it's not my favorite. We replaced 150 plus feet on a home near me almost 2 yrs ago and they still haven't painted it. ( We don't paint.) I guess we'll do it again when it deteriorates. Keep up the good work, really enjoy the videos.
Seems everyone here uses hardyplank siding. The high end jobs uses it in soffit work. It comes in 12 and 14 in width with holes drilled for venting. Most houses around here you would be using scaffolding or ladder jacks for soffit work. Not many that you could use a step ladder on. You are the hardest working guy on UA-cam! Like your Instagram post to.
In my experience, spraying seems to raise the grain more in wood that brushing or rolling. Then you have to go back and sand and repaint. That seems to rob you of any benefit. This is why I only roll or brush paint. Spraying is only good for use on metal not wood, in my opinion.
Modern DIY Projects Hi, He mentioned in the video that no paint had gone of by the sanding. He uses a no-air spray gun, so the paint doesn’t need any thinners/thinning. Can it be that you use thinner paint when spraying than you would using a roller or brush? Maybe that’s what makes the difference. I don’t think it does make a big difference btw and I always sand *lightly*
Just finished painting all the interior doors in my 106 year old house using that exact airless sprayer. So nice to use. Though a pain in the ass the clean out.
Cleaning your gutters or using gutter gaurds help prevent rot, and ofcourse prepping the soffit and fascia with primer in all sides and the edges, helps prevent rot.
That's funny, it's the complete opposite around me. Wood soffits and fascia is cheap and tacky. But we have very wet springs and falls. All the high end houses are putting on double 5 vinyl siding, aluminum soffits and metal fascia. We also wrap all the window trim with metal.
14:45 That slow-mo got a good chuckle out of me. Also, smart idea on checking the tempature of your walls. I used a thermal camera for a similiar reason.
Love the videos. I do handyman work but I stay away from jobs this big. Too many people don't want to pay. I stick to painting, light electrical (ceiling fans, outlets, lighting, etc.), light plumbing, small carpentry) No hauling or cleaning. I admire your business however, and have learned a few tricks.
I loved working with a sprayer didnt mind cleaning it out I had to clean my brushes anyway. With sprayer and shield I'm quite a sight. 20 seconds at the top of the ladder and its done. Takes longer to move the ladder then to piant.
Very nice as always. Im just wondering why you don't use pressure treated timber, especially for the fascia as it will get a lot of weather thrown at it?
You would think that PT would be used for the soffit and fascia. It's just not used in this location. If the roof and gutters work right water should never get on it. Also I would need to let the PT lumber dry out a lot before using it. It doesn't take paint very well. Also PT plywood doesn't come with a nice finish on one side.
You are very detail ed in your work. I have never painted the back of soffit. I don’t guess I even thought about it. Good touch. OU hope the owner is aware of you doing that. Good videos.
I'm curious why you wouldn't go back with 7/16" Perforated Hardie Soffit? It may not match the rest of the home at first, but you could start the transition one section at a time. You also wouldn't have to cut out for the Soffit grills.
Where I’m at, all wood fascia is dadoed, and soffit it set into it to allow for expansion and contraction. That must not be a issue in your geography, or worth bothering with?
plywood doesn't really expand and contract much. I do see how that would make a nice clean fit on a newer house. On an old crooked house like this The soffit would be in and out of that Dado and have to get caulked in just like it does with out the dado.
I see that all the fascia was sprayed (paint). So a few questions: 1- on long runs, did you run it 16’ and then add a nailer in the framing? 2- If you cut each fascia board to length (to split a raftersoffit tail), I assume you reprinted/repainted that new cut face? 3- were the ends of fascia square or mitered? 4- did you caulk the fascia ends? What type of caulk? 5- what type of nail for fascia? Galvanized? 6- did you paint over the fascia nails? Roller or brush? How bad Is the different texture?
Everything was caulked in with dynaflex 230. I go over this part 3. Used 8 foot sections just like what came off. Corners were butt joints. Exterior nails for siding. Paint brush. No difference in texture. I used good paint that wets out evenly.
The Handyman Hi, and thanks for taking the time to reply. I completely missed the part on the sub fascia, so that explains nice 8’ runs. Your videos are great. I did see where you caulked in part 3 after putting everything together. Any reason for caulking after a joint is completed rather than caulking a joint and pushing the next fascia into that joint? Would seem to have sealed better. Just curious. Also, do you ever see a difference in a 45 degree mitered butt joint verse a squared butt joint? I’ve done a few of these and have always mitered everything, caulked before the joint was completed, but have never had the luxury of a sub fascia. Thus always having to cut every run to split a rafter tail.
The soffit was 8 foot, the fascia was 10 or 12 foot runs with scarf joints. All the corner joints get covered in aluminum. Butt joints work good for speed miter joints are just for looks. No one will ever see the joint.
I live in the south, carolina that is, and we have alot of ppl who will not spend $ on there properties. I have tried starting a handyman business on the side and for the past 3 years its not taking off. Any suggestions on getting realtors property management companies, homeonwers to spend the $. I would love to do this full time. I have been in the business 20 + years with hvac, pool license.
oh ...besides adequate guards...most of the table saw injuries i know of are due to users pushing stock with their hands...if they'd use a ..stock pusher.. they'd avoid most of the risk in that area. i've heard them termed 'bench dogs'.
Well, there is also Hardiplank soffits (24 in or less) and trim boards that look just like wood. It's cheaper, it lasts a lot longer, it's weather and termites resistant...etc. Hardiplank does not look cheap I think. It looks good. Nobody really pays much attention to the eave and fascia anyway. And the fascia is covered with gutters, so... But well, if that makes them happy, people can get wood.
Have you ever use the ladder little giant? Yes, they weigh more. That is the only downside. Harbor freight sells something similar. So much easier to stand on. one leg on each side and standing straight up. I stand on the very top many times with confidence. Many ladders in one. I don't use any of my other ladders other then longer extention ladders.
What are you thoughts on adding eaves to a house? I live in a pretty rainy area (Seattle) and my house was built without any and it's always seemed like a problem keeping rot down around the windows, especially on the weather facing side of the house.
It's relatively simple to do, though it's ideal if you either have a ton of singles left or do your entire roof at the same time. If neither of those is true, I'd recommend taking a single spare single (Or taking a clear picture) and taking that in so you can match your existing roof as best you can. Essentially all you're doing is extending the existing roof, making sure to match the existing dimensions. You'll also probably need a permit.
It’s hard to beat Graco spray pumps. Priming the back side will add years to your material, especially plywood. I have been painting for 30 years, I appreciate your videos very much. Thank you.
I swear every time you make a video it makes me think that i need to replace mine hahaha.. my house was built in 68 and my facia looks like it has some rot here and there.. I re-pitched my gutters because they were clogged and overflowing for a few years before we bought it.. so i think that had something to do with some water damage, but after 2 years in the house.. i got everything fixed that needed fixed.. the house was having breathing issues.. so installed a ridge vent.. fixed the gables and added more soffit vents because there wasn't any.. then insulated everything.. now my wife wants to re do everything on the inside. take a wall down and open it up as she puts it... it never ends lol.. i come from a family that does it all ourselves too.. gotta keep her happy. any videos on removing a weight/load bearing wall?
As a general rule, more teeth is a more smooth cut. But if you're really looking for a perfect finish, leave a bit of extra wood on, then sorten it up with a sander or hand planer.
Just waht Blood of Gaea said. I have a video that I'm filming where I'm installing new oak baseboard and I go over putting a new blade on a chop saw and setting up the saw. More teeth is a smoother cut but also a slower cut.
Your saw did originally have a blade guard/splitter. In fact, I have a factory pm66 guard/splitter that I'd be happy to sell. Let me know if you're interested.
Two questions: Why'd you paint the back of the soffit? Where I live most people have vinyl soffit. Also, when you put up the fascia boards do you bother mitering/gluing the ends where they butt up to each other?
I primered all 6 sides of both the soffit and fascia. This helps seal the wood so it will last a long time. The corners are mitered but it doesn't really matter because they get a metal corner that covers the joint completely.
I'm not a fan of spraying walls and ceilings unless the home is completely empty. like during a major remodel when the carpet is out. Even though there is low over spray you will have to mask off everything.
Just a question , but I never saw your name or phone number on your truck or even your trailer. Don't you think that would be good advertisement for your business ?
It's actually the worst kind of advertising for this kind of business. It only attracts tire kickers and people shopping for the cheapest price. The only advertising I have is word of mouth from past customers. This ensures I get good customers that can afford my services. It took a few years to build up my network of referrals but I'm booked 7 days a week 365.
I have used wood for soffit, facia and freeze boards ( on brick homes ) for 53 years and most failures I have encountered has came from not preparing the wood properly ( back priming and painting and edge sealing ) I was taught to seal completely all edges and surfaces before installing and today most contractors just install bare wood and just paint the exposed areas. Good job on your prep.
Thanks, The old soffit and fascia was only painted on the outside.
It’s mind boggling how some people think they can cut costs on things like this.
Just like the soffits weren’t replaced when the new gutters were replaced.
Watching that paint go on is almost mesmerizing. Nice video 👍🏻

I really like your longer format videos.
The right move would've been to use 4x8 sheets of 3/8 PVC ripped to size. You can paint it if you would like. But keep it maintenance free.
It's hilarious that you do so much work in your sandals. I'm the same. Great videos. Gives me a lot of inspiration to get all my jobs done. Thanks
I framed houses from 95 to 05 in Michigan. 3/8 rough sawed plywood and rough sawed cedar 1x6. 8x16 soffit vents 6 to 8ft apart. I prefer 2in continuous vent strips. Looks uniform and vents much better. You can also tint primer to match paint color. Nice videos, keep them coming.

Great cinematic effect @ 14:45. I have one of those temperature thingys...came in handy troubleshooting hvac.
I dont think any of your videos are too long...but I'm kinda a nerd when it comes to this stuff! I really enjoy the show this old house!!
Its good to see your channel growing so well. I like that you have started explaining things more and have added the intro at the beginning and summary at the end to your videos. Love the content. Your weather, 80F to snow storm is like where I live. Looking forward to the next video.
Hugh Jackman working on roof? I think i am on the wrong side of youtube again
if your replacing all the facia,why rip them? why not just have a little more exposure ? wouldnt hurt nothing,
Just found your channel, I'm going to try and Tackle this job myself.. Not much on woodworking but I think I can take down some and replace it as it was. I will be painting and sealing all edges and seams

At Lowe's they have 24 in vented and unvented hardiplank soffits.
He’s the hardest working guy on UA-cam? Lol

What tip did you use? 515?
I'd recommend watching this: ua-cam.com/video/kQ0JQdrr5fI/v-deo.html
daroach 315 and 515. It is a pain in the ass to clean.
Knowing more about your climate would be helpful. I live in SW Florida and we have different needs.
Cleaning your gutters or using gutter gaurds help prevent rot, and ofcourse prepping the soffit and fascia with primer in all sides and the edges, helps prevent rot.
I’d prefer Azek trim. Not much more expensive than wood, takes paint well and will last longer than the house.
That's funny, it's the complete opposite around me. Wood soffits and fascia is cheap and tacky. But we have very wet springs and falls. All the high end houses are putting on double 5 vinyl siding, aluminum soffits and metal fascia. We also wrap all the window trim with metal.

Also I would need to let the PT lumber dry out a lot before using it. It doesn't take paint very well. Also PT plywood doesn't come with a nice finish on one side.
Pressure treated is unnecessary and usually is sopping wet when you buy it. There is no advantage in using it. Just introduces other problems.
You are very detail ed in your work. I have never painted the back of soffit. I don’t guess I even thought about it. Good touch. OU hope the owner is aware of you doing that. Good videos.
Love your videos man all way from the UK
Think I would watch a whole video of you taking the temperature of everything!! Haha
I'm curious why you wouldn't go back with 7/16" Perforated Hardie Soffit? It may not match the rest of the home at first, but you could start the transition one section at a time. You also wouldn't have to cut out for the Soffit grills.
Yes its uploaded! Ive waited so long for this sequel. Good job handyman!
Yes its uploaded! Ive waited so long for this sequel. Good job handyman!
Do you use treated plywood for your soffits?

No, i dont have one due to my fulltime job i not sure what would happen if they knew i was working another job.
Sure enjoy your commitment to detail, excellant workmanship!!
How is the attic space vented? I didn't notice any venting in the soffit in the previous video. Have the owners had problems with life of the roof?
This will be in the next part. The old soffit was under vented.
Are you using a framing or finish gun?
how do you charge for the replacement of soffit and fascia? What's the average cost to a typical home?
Handy Andy told us where you live at. 😂😂👍🤘
He might be living in Portland or somewhere in Oregon. He s wearing Portland Timbers Jacket.
oh ...besides adequate guards...most of the table saw injuries i know of are due to users pushing stock with their hands...if they'd use a ..stock pusher.. they'd avoid most of the risk in that area.
i've heard them termed 'bench dogs'.
Can I ask you how much do you charge for this job?
We use fiber cement sheets for soffits here in New Zealand.
I love your Paint Sprayer!
Maybe I missed it, but why did you prime both sides of the soffit?
Well, there is also Hardiplank soffits (24 in or less) and trim boards that look just like wood. It's cheaper, it lasts a lot longer, it's weather and termites resistant...etc. Hardiplank does not look cheap I think. It looks good. Nobody really pays much attention to the eave and fascia anyway. And the fascia is covered with gutters, so... But well, if that makes them happy, people can get wood.
Can you please list of tools you used in your jobs?
Good videos and information here! Keep up the good work Handyman!
what plywood material did you use?
How does the attic breath good with a solid soffit? Is vents on gable ends good enough in the climate?
There are soffit vents all over the place.
The Handyman I asked before I watched. Lol
Wow, I'm really impressed at all your tools, how much in cost were all your tool .? estimate.?
Wife: does this fascia make my roof look fat? Lol
What size nails did you use to secure the soffit and fascia?
Great video! Thx!
Awesome work, great informative videos, I could really use your help!
Thanks man! Did you charge these customers, based on linear feet?
Have you ever use the ladder little giant? Yes, they weigh more. That is the only downside. Harbor freight sells something similar. So much easier to stand on. one leg on each side and standing straight up. I stand on the very top many times with confidence. Many ladders in one.

You'll also probably need a permit.
Blood of Gaea, thanks for answering all these questions. You sound like you have a lot of experience.
Not a problem. :)
No brother your video it just right i like the way you do all you work i learn a lot from you thanks
It’s hard to beat Graco spray pumps. Priming the back side will add years to your material, especially plywood.
I have been painting for 30 years, I appreciate your videos very much. Thank you.
Here in the pacific northwest we use hardiplank 90% of the time. It lasts much longer than wood
I swear every time you make a video it makes me think that i need to replace mine hahaha.. my house was built in 68 and my facia looks like it has some rot here and there..

Just checking if you are still alive after you knocked down that load bearing wall. ;)
what tip are you using on the spray gun?
Can I ask how much you charged for this job? Ty
Just curious witch Graco is that and how long have you been using it. Also, what tip size did you use?
It a Magnum Pro X7 I have had it for 8 years I was using a 317 and 517 tip.
Thank you! I am considering buying an airless sprayer.
Sorry hooked-on-phonics didn't work for me
TOP JOB ALL PARTS SQUARED OFF JOINTED AND LEVEL.
For a table saw blade, how many teeth on the blade would you recommend to do any finish cuts, or which one you use?
As a general rule, more teeth is a more smooth cut. But if you're really looking for a perfect finish, leave a bit of extra wood on, then sorten it up with a sander or hand planer.
Just waht Blood of Gaea said. I have a video that I'm filming where I'm installing new oak baseboard and I go over putting a new blade on a chop saw and setting up the saw. More teeth is a smoother cut but also a slower cut.
Your saw did originally have a blade guard/splitter. In fact, I have a factory pm66 guard/splitter that I'd be happy to sell. Let me know if you're interested.
Two questions: Why'd you paint the back of the soffit? Where I live most people have vinyl soffit. Also, when you put up the fascia boards do you bother mitering/gluing the ends where they butt up to each other?
I primered all 6 sides of both the soffit and fascia. This helps seal the wood so it will last a long time. The corners are mitered but it doesn't really matter because they get a metal corner that covers the joint completely.
How long was that job ...
I'm here watching after my brother and I redone all of his soffit with vinyl and his fashia cover with metal and a break
Great video its looking good.
Wood?? #2 pine? Or something else? Thanks.
where did you get your sprayer from an what's the model g
Its a Graco Magnum something something. I got it used on craigs list 12 years ago. Its a higher end home owner grade sprayer. Is an airless sprayer.
@@TheHandyman1 ooo I see how much did you charge them for this project if applicable
What are your thoughts on an airless sprayer for a home owner? I just picked up the homeright help, would that be good for doing walls and ceilings?
I'm not a fan of spraying walls and ceilings unless the home is completely empty. like during a major remodel when the carpet is out. Even though there is low over spray you will have to mask off everything.
I use primed MDO and cut in circular soffit vents
MDO is a good way to go! 👍
Dude! Your Classic Timbers jacket!
What kind of nail gun is that?
How did you learn to do all this?
I just made a video answering this very question on my business youtube channel. Here is the link . ua-cam.com/video/CEHLVWS5Nwg/v-deo.html
Phoenix az, Scottsdale,mesa,tempe area is my guess.
'...work toppling down...'
you could factor in using some form of drywall lift?
That's Portland OR
Nice job as always. How about a trailer tour and update. That was the video on how I found your channel.
Are you wearing a remote microphone, if not it would really help your commentary. Great videos, I can't stop watching them.
I removed a finger using my DeWalt Jobsite table saw 4 years ago. Yes, I removed the guard as soon as I started using it. everyone does!
How much did this job cost?
How does one go about pricing a job like this?
What's sprayer model?
Good job!!!
Awesome !!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Damn. In Australia we use cement sheet.
I like roller painting, spraying makes such a mess.
Just a question , but I never saw your name or phone number on your truck or even your trailer.
Don't you think that would be good advertisement for your business ?
It's actually the worst kind of advertising for this kind of business. It only attracts tire kickers and people shopping for the cheapest price. The only advertising I have is word of mouth from past customers. This ensures I get good customers that can afford my services. It took a few years to build up my network of referrals but I'm booked 7 days a week 365.
What's your blood type !!!!? LOL
I want to say you live in Washington DC LOL curious now
