Why it matters

Why it matters for your roof

The fascia holds the gutters and the drip edge. The soffit is where the attic takes in air. Rotten fascia means gutters that fall; blocked soffit means a damp attic and ice dams. See attic ventilation.

FAQ

Soffit and fascia questions

What's the difference between soffit and fascia?

The fascia is the vertical board at the roof edge that the gutter is fixed to. The soffit is the underside of the overhang, between the fascia and the house wall.

Can you just cover the rotten wood with aluminum?

We don't. Wrapping rot traps moisture and it keeps spreading. We replace the bad wood first.

Do I need vented soffit?

If your attic relies on soffit intake (most do, especially with a ridge vent), yes. Solid soffit chokes the airflow.

Can you keep squirrels out?

We seal the openings at the soffit and fascia during the repair. If animals are living in the attic, call a wildlife removal company first, then we close it up.

Should I do this with a new roof?

It's the ideal time: the drip edge and gutters come off anyway.
