Things You Will Need
The removal process is one of the least complicated aspects of this repair job.
-
Use a pry bar to live the shingle mold portion of the eaves.
-
Pull off the fascia underneath the shingle mold. With the shingle mold no longer in place, this section should pull out easily.
-
Grip the section of soffit you want to remove and pull downward sharply. Debris, including old animal nests, may fall from above it.
-
Cut out the remaining part of the eaves you wish to remove -- the rafter -- using a reciprocating saw. If the rafter is rotted, be sure to remove the entire damaged portion.
