Looking for a contractor to replace my aluminum fascia on my home. The paint started peeling after a pressure wash and it all needs to be changed. I’ve had 2 contractors ghost me and never show up. Anyone have recommendations ?

Is that possible? I've got an assload of it peeling in different places around my crib. Actually specs called for all-vinyl, but the assholes ended up placing aluminum fascia and wrapping the porch poles in it as well. If there's a way to paint it in-place without significant surface prep, I'm all in. Hell, that'd get an OLD honey-do off my wife's list.

Fascia is aluminum usually and soffit are vinyl. It only requires a piece of equipment that bends the roll metal. Any gutter contractor or vinyl contractor could do it for you in a few hours. I would measure the linear footage and call vinyl companies to get a price. Way easier to replace than paint.

I used a rust oleum gallon on a house right before I sold it and it looked fine. Peeling off the old enamel is easy but cleanup it a bitch. Once I peeled it off I clean it with acetone and went back with the paint you couldn’t tell if you didn’t know it had been painted.

Depends on location....but look for people that do any type of siding. Its not that hard to install if your eaves are not very tall. You can rent a brake for about $150 and the metal only costs about $200 max. So if you have basic 9 or 10 ft eaves you can do it yourself in a day.
