When it comes to roofing and exterior maintenance, soffit and fascia are often overlooked — but they play a crucial role in protecting your home.
What Are Soffit and Fascia?
- Soffit is the material installed under the eaves of your roof. It helps ventilate your attic and prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold and rot.
- Fascia is the board that runs along the roofline and supports the bottom edge of the roof. It’s also where your gutters are mounted.
Why They Matter
- Ventilation – Proper soffit ventilation keeps air flowing through your attic, reducing heat and moisture buildup that can damage insulation and roofing materials.
- Protection from Pests – Soffit and fascia help seal your roof’s edge, keeping out insects, birds, and small animals.
- Water Management – Fascia supports your gutters, which direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation. Damaged fascia can lead to gutter failure and costly water damage.
- Curb Appeal – These elements give your roofline a clean, finished look and contribute to the overall appearance of your home.
