Step 04 · Fascia

Finish the edges.

Fascia is the trim that wraps the side of your deck and hides the framing. Skip it or do it cheap and the whole deck looks unfinished.

Zbolt Pick

Matching Composite Fascia

$$$

Clean, monolithic look.

Best for: Composite or PVC decks where you want everything to read as one cohesive surface.

Pros

Matches your deck board exactly
No paint, no staining, no maintenance
Looks intentional from every angle

Cons

Most expensive fascia option
Requires sub-fascia framing to attach cleanly

Painted PT or Cedar Trim

Budget-friendly classic.

Best for: PT or cedar decks where the budget went to the deck boards.

Pros

Cheapest fascia option
Easy to match house trim color

Cons

Will need repainting every 3–5 years
Can show wear faster than composite

Metal Skirting / Riser Bands

Modern industrial.

Best for: Modern homes, decks paired with steel railing or black-trim windows.

Pros

Powder-coated finish lasts decades
Crisp, contemporary edge
Won't rot, fade, or chip

Cons

Doesn't suit every architectural style
Edges must be flashed correctly to prevent injury

Lattice or Open Skirt

Practical, ventilated.

Best for: Tall decks where you want airflow underneath and don't mind the look.

Pros

Cheapest way to hide the under-deck
Keeps the underside ventilated
Easy to remove for access

Cons

Looks dated to some clients
Vinyl lattice can sag in heat
