   I believe that's a stock Azek profile of crown molding.

   Pelipeth is that just added on top of a flat piece of Azek? Crown moulding over flat?Thanks

   Yes, most likely 1x8.

   it's a two-piece

   View Image

   it's crown on 1x

   probably about 2 1/2 crown  on 1x8  .... the 1x8  could be 1x4 because that is all you see

   notice that they are using  colored aluminum drip edge on both the rake & fascia... that's what we do also... but it hides the top of the crown

   also.... Azek  has a high expansion rate  so you would  probably want to glue your crown miter but allow a scarf joint slip detail on both the eave and rake run

   Thanks Mike. I assume this same look can be done with wood crown moulding?Does the roof sheathing run all the way to top of the crown or is it just the drip edge that goes over it?

   the crown can run  flush with the bottom edge of the plywood sheathing 

   or plane into the top edge of the sheathing.... the drip edge will cover  more  ....or less

   you have to  decide....

   I can't find anyone in my area that has even heard of Azek much less having it in stock. Can I just sub pine moulding for the Azek?

   you can probably get away with that in Texas.  Maybe our Texans can respond!

   Mike and I live in the Northeast where we worry about rot.  That is why we love azek

   I built an "L" shaped piece, the vertical being the fascia and the horizontal a 2X extended about 1/2" past the crown mould. That way the drip cap goes on the 2x and the entire crown mould is seen.

   I tacked the crown mould in the "L", cut the whole assembly to length with my slider, removed the crown mold, attached the "L" to the subfascia, then installed the crown mould. A perfect fit.

   Wish I had pictures, best fascia I ever did.

   Great tip John, thanks. Was this all in wood?

   Yes. About 10 years ago, all clear heart KD redwood. From Beronio in SF, not sure where you are. Who knows the cost now.John

   Texas John. I'm pretty much stuck with pine.

   sure...you can use pine......  it's been used  for crown for about 300 years

   just make sure you backprime it and  keep the water out Mike Hussein Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
