removal of old fascias- advice please

[TryC]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong section buy I'm not sure where it belongs if not in this section.

 

I'm wanting to have our current gutters replaced on a semi, I've had quotes and they have both said they would only cap over the existing fascias, it would be extra ro remove. Which is fine,  but the question is, is it best to remove the old fasica (if it is not rotting)? or is it normal and OK to cap over?

 

 

thanks in advance

It depends on the state of the facia,s that exist, covering them is like a thick coat of paint to stop moisture but if the rot has already stated it won’t last long. I have done it both ways (depending on facia condition and customer choice.
