Would you like me to tell you how to repair the fascia if it is indeed damaged?
Good Afternoon David;

Did you NOT read the first thread post. He states "Rotted". That being said, its an infection and will continue to grow, damage and or deteriorate the surrounding sound material. Masking the effected area with edge metal, shingles or mastic will not ensure structural integrity of the member.

I'll answer my own question... If infection is present, it should be removed as part of any subsequent repair...

OMG....of course I read it. I'm not freakin blind.

The determining factor here is whether the rot minor or major? That will decide whether or not to remove the (what you call) infection.

And why are you debating on something that is obvious?

Posts #10 & #11 appear to address why I'm debating the issue. As inspectors and contractors we find improperly repaired issues on a daily basis which lead to more extensive damage and increased repair costs. This small area of damage in the fascia can extend to adjacent sheathing and or rafter framing if left untreated and or in place.

BTW, here in California the Structural Pest Control Board refers to items of issue as being "Infestation" and "Infection"....

I probed the area and the rot was minor.

I used an exterior wood filler/hardener. Then covered with a like colored flashing. Used roofing adhesive to adhere. I then cut a section of 3d shingle off the shingle pictured at the roof edge. I placed a small section of shingle under the original shingle along the rake and between the added flashing.

It came out really well and I thank all of you for your suggestions.

Thanks

I will take a picture and post as soon as I get back on the roof.

I'm glad to see that it all turned out well.

I knew it would be a simple repair.
