Before & After: Fascia Covering, Aluminum Trim Cladding Repair

Katelyn Lewis • August 17, 2023

All you need is a little super glue, right? 


Wrong. 

A graphic showing before-and-after photos of a RETEX aluminum trim cladding replacement in Richmond VA.

What you’re looking at is the before-and-after shots of one of heavy wind’s most common victims: aluminum cladding. 


Aluminum trim cladding covers your fascia board, keeping it protected from moisture and thus preventing rot. But strong winds can get underneath it and pull its nails loose, causing the metal to hang somewhat dramatically from your roof line, like on this rental property in East Highland Park. 


Never fear: Retex is here to quickly fix your fascia coverings. In fact, if you call Retex and send us a photo of the cladding that’s pulled away from your home, we can give you an estimate over  text. Our repair team measures and fabricates new pieces on-site, protecting your fascia from moisture damage. 


Hey Richmond & Fredericksburg: Does your home need this siding repair? Give us a call at 804-258-6300 to get a quick quote today.

While we take the term “re-roofing” to mean a full tear-off and replacement, some companies will install a new roof over an old one. Here's why we don't do that.
