HI All,
Has anyone ever seen a facia board made out of what looks to me like MDF? The board has an imitation cedar pattern on one side and a groove cut in the back for the soffit to fit in. I was very surprised when I saw it. I have some that is rotted in a corner and need to try and match it. I prefer to replace the whole length with cedar or hardy but the homeowner asked me to see if I could find any of this stuff first.
Thanks,
Bob

Just tell him you didn't find any. (that's not a fib)
It's probably old hardboard (Masonite) siding.
I'm thinking that GP Primetrim can be had in a woodgrain texture and it doesn't rot, to my knowledge. A thread going right now on exterior trim discusses it.
