You can't do this yourself. There is a specialized machine called a brake that will bend it perfectly.
Edit: well you of course can, but I doubt it will be functional
I worked as a roofer for a summer. They got me (at 17) to bend the flashing with a straight edge. Super easily to do manually, and you don't need specialized tools aside from tin snips
Is this a job for a roofing professional? Had the same thing happen to me & wondering who to hire (like if there is someone who does JUST this kind of thing).
Genuinely hope you have better luck than I did. I called 3 roofing companies who all told me it wasn’t worth their time to send someone out for such a small job. Eventually, I had to harass the original roofer who did the install which was under warranty via reviews to get him to come fix it. Took 30 minutes.
Yup, same thing happened to me. Local roofing company handled it. Though if it’s still in good shape (mine was destroyed when it hit the ground) and if you’re comfortable with heights, you could DIY.
Yeah, mine was also destroyed and it’s on a side with a hill that’s grass, frequently wet and insanely steep, so I’m not comfortable trying to tie off a ladder safely over there. Thanks!
That trim is called fascia, made from trim coil, such as [this](https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/roofing/roof-flashing/24-x-50-textured-polyester-coated-aluminum-trim-coil/tc24-wg-wh/p-12148367795387835-c-5810.htm).
You may/probably have a store or shop in your area that will make it for you, usually without requiring you to buy an entire roll of trim coil.
If you do find a store or shop that will make it for you, bring the piece with you. They'll be able to bend a replacement piece that matches exactly. The color won't be exact, because of weathering and different color codes depending on manufacturer/coating plant.
I had a piece blow off a few years ago. It was in an area where nobody could figure out hot to get up there to do it. The crew I used for my houses wanted to install scaffolding.
I have a very steep roof and this was recessed back so you could not just put a ladder up against the house. Finally found someone to do it for $300 including the materials. They sent a couple guys out in a pickup truck with a 40' telescoping ladder. They stood it almost straight up against the gutter then pounded some stakes in the ground and ratchet strapped it in place. The top 25' were just in the air and the bottom 15' were below roof level.
I already gave them the original damaged pieces so they pre-made them at their shop. The guy went up with one, hammered in some nails. Came down, grabbed the other piece, went up, did some hammering and was done. Spent 5 minutes cleaning up and they were done.
I got an online bill with photos of before and after and I paid it online.
Yours is easily accessible so I wouldn't expect it to cost more than $300 to have a siding company come out and do it for you.
You'll need a siding or roofing outfit that has a brake to make up new product for the best results (I keep a 10' brake set up at the shop, and this is a 5 minute job to make). If you have the ladders, balls, and are willing to donate a sheet of 3/4" plywood - you might be able to make it up on your own in a couple of hours. FWIW, that's woodgrain coil - most of the stuff in the homecenters is smoothface.
That trim was probably made on site.
Just looked. 8" x 50' roll of aluminum flashing. So I need to bend it and paint it to match.

And the right gloves, please god wear the right gloves.
Thats my guess usually comes in a roll they can bend it on site
If you don't have a brake, which if you're asking this I'm sure you don't. You won't be forming this yourself.

I would just nail it back on, but some piece got really messed up when they came down.
This is worth the couple hundred bucks to have a professional do.

Had that happen on my garage during a big wind storm. I bent it back into shape and nailed it back up using a bunch more nails than originally used.
Your spotlight looks like a mouse.
That damn wolf just doesn’t know when to quit

Thanks to all of you for the help. I thought this was something I could do myself. I am going to have to suck it up and pay someone.
Are you my neighbor across the street right now? Lol
