I need to do some work on my fascia boards (different house than the one pictured, but same setup where power comes in.) Do I just call the power company and have them disconnect my power?

If you are asking about the sofitt, the no, you don't need to disconnect. Your carpenter can cut out and trim that without needing to get the power co involved.

No, this pic is just an example, but I'm working on the fascia. Just concerned working with a nail gun so close to the power line.

If it's set up like that there is nothing to worry about except maybe water lines somewhere in there. Send nails in the spots where there are already nails so they go directly intone rafters and there is no problem.

Who is putting water lines in their eaves? That sounds like a terrible idea...

Op - I know you said that your house is maybe a little different than pictured, but most fascias are pretty far offset from the overhead mast conduit and the length of the nails are not an issue. If it's anything like what's pictured, you're shouldn't have any issue on the fascia. And the masts are usually a heavier duty conduit like rigid instead of EMT or PVC. If really worried, just pop a couple of screws instead?

Finally got an actual pic. My main concern was an arc if there was missing insulation on the wire. But I guess that it's only 240 coming in, so shouldn't be an issue. Got me thinking tho, what do roofers do? Work around it live or do they have it shut off?

That makes perfect sense. Overthinking as usual, I appreciate the thorough explanation.

We work around them live. Thos wires are insulated. Two hots and a aluminum ground. There is nothing on it that is going to zap you unless the butyl seal on the crimp for the hots is bad or you have an exposed wire. You shouldn't though. If I were doing your roof, we would cut the lead plumbing jack off (wrong product for the purpose) and install a split boot on the roof around the mast. All live and hot.

Nevermind the fact that you are working on the underside and around it and those wires are well above you. Your metal mast is grounded. You can touch that all you want.

Bigger issue is the phone and/or cable coming in and connecting directly to your facia board.
That will need to be taken loose. I assume whatever contractor you hired has delt with that before, just make sure it gets put back correctly and everything works when they leave.
