I need to replace the fascia board on the front of my house.
'I' meaning, I need to call someone who will do that. Attached
(and I use that word very loosely) to this board is the gutter.

Who should I call? Gutter installers won't know anything about
replacing that wood part, would they? I don't particularly need
new gutters, so if I call a carpenter, do you think they would take
off and replace the gutter?

Or do I need to call both a carpenter (? or who?) and a gutter
installer.


I've had similar questions. I saw a sign for someplace called "Mr.
Handyman" (www.mrhandyman.com). Below is the list of things they say
they handle. Note it includes both fascia board and gutters, so
presumably they could handle your job.

Has anyone here used them? I've got a bunch of little things that
should be done that, like the OPs problem, seem to fall between the
major professions, or that are just too small to justify calling someone
out just for that one thing.
