Quality, speed, and safety can work together

When running fascia, the cut person can insert the screws in a regular pattern much quicker and than the installers—working off ladders—can.

To set the screws consistently, draw pencil lines on your speed square and slide it along the fascia under an outstretched measuring tape.

Boom. Your crew just got 10% more efficient.
