Though they’re easy to overlook, your home or business soffit and fascia are a vital part of keeping water where it belongs – from your roof to your gutter, and then away from your structure. Though they’re often confused, your fascia covers the end of your rafter tails, the part of your roof that sticks out over the edge of your structure, while the soffit provides protection and ventilation under the edge of your roofline.
Broken soffits can happen for a wide range of reasons, from an over-curious person pulling on them to an animal in the eaves to simple age. Covering the area between the edge of your roof and your exterior walls, they’re both aesthetic and functional, providing protection while in some cases encouraging proper ventilation through your roofing system.
Fascia boards or covers are located on the edge of your rafter tails, where your roofing framing comes down over the edge of your exterior walls. They’re also the structure that typically support your gutter system. If your fascia is beginning to fail, it can lead to a lot more problems if the issue isn’t handled quickly enough, such as falling gutters and water damage.
Of course, you also have the option of having work done on your soffits and fascia for aesthetic reasons alone. If you’re replaced your siding, the soffits and fascia may no longer match your color scheme, and you’d like them replaced to create a more cohesive appearance.
