Gutter and fascia repair

Manukau

The corner of the roof of the house overhangs the driveway, and a large truck caught the guttering and the fascia, breaking them by about a metre in both directions. As well, there is minor damage to the underpanelling between the fascia and the wall of the house. I need quotes to repair but not paint. This is not an insurance job.
