We want you to make the best decisions in the wake of storm damage or roof aging, and understanding these parts is crucial.

What Are They?

• Soffits: The roof system includes a component called the overhang, which is situated where the exterior wall meets the roof structure. Its primary function is to direct water runoff from the foundations when it rains. In addition, the underside of this overhang contains vents called soffits, which allow air to circulate into the attic and under the roof. While it’s possible for some roof designs not to have soffits, they are generally present in most roofs.
• Fascia: Now, fascia boards are generally more visible than soffits. These boards are installed on the edge of this overhanging area and are sometimes called “transition trim” because they represent the transition from siding to roofing. This is where most gutter systems are installed.

Do They Need Maintenance?

Because soffits are generally installed at the same time as your roofing, they are mostly very durable and don’t need much maintenance. Your soffits should be inspected as part of a regular roof inspection. Because they are more visible, fascia boards are often treated like siding and only cleaned or painted if necessary.

When Should You Get Soffit and Fascia Services?

That said, there are plenty of times when you might need soffit and fascia replacement. These parts can be damaged by ice buildup and heavy rains. But how can you tell if you need to call your trusted local roofer for repairs? There are some easy ways to tell. When you look up at your roof from the outside of your house, You shouldn’t see any rotting wood, leaking, peeling paint, discoloration, or even holes!
