You didnt mention if your gutters were fastened with hidden brackets or spikes.If its spikes the contractor probaly doesnt want to mess with it as once he pops them out,they wont hold as well when he nails them back in.[/QUOTE
the gutters are screwed into the fascia, the fascia is in great shape as are the 3 year old gutters, the issue I see is time, it takes a little more time to take off gutters and then to reinstall them once the aluminum fascia is attached the correct way under the drip edge
What I was suggesting were they to loosen hangers off and put fascia behind the whole wooden fascia up to drip edge or to shingles.That way everything is covered. What would be wrong would be cutting the fascia short and just butting it up to where hangers are fastened.That suggestion is just wrong.
That would still leave all the wood exposed above the hidden hangers exposed.
The main area where your likely to have wood rot.
