Painting is one of those necessary chores that I try to put off as long as possible. There are lots of different tools to help you paint a variety of items.
A customer called and needed her fascia painted because her homeowner’s association didn’t like the way it looked. Sure enough, the paint was peeling and it was unattractive. The exposed portion of the fascia was only about 10 inches and had the lip of the roof covering just a portion of it. The perfect tool for this job is a mini-roller. These are paint rollers that are very small in diameter that will make quick work of painting fascias. Not to be gross, but these are also called tampon rollers for obvious reasons.
Mini-rollers use special frames that can be longer than normal frames. After scraping the old paint from the fascia, the board will be very smooth. You can use the mini-roller and paint using horizontal strokes and cover a three foot swath very quickly. Since the roller is smaller and holds less paint, it is less likely you will drip paint, although you will have to reload paint more often. The smaller diameter of the roller will also allow you to paint right up to the roof edge overhanging the fascia board without having to use a brush for touchups.
