When it comes to protecting your home from the elements, the often-overlooked fascia and soffit play a crucial role. The fascia board, also known as the soffit board, runs horizontally under the roof edge, covering the openings between the rafters and enclosing the attic space. This essential component, typically made of wood, wood substitute, or metal, works in tandem with the soffit to stabilize gutters and contribute to the overall structural integrity of your home.
Modern homes commonly feature fascia, but older Colonial or Victorian homes with ornate rafter tails might not have this protective board. Despite the belief that large roof overhangs could repel water sufficiently, water can still find its way into the foundation, potentially causing damage to siding, paint, windows, and doors.
If your home’s fascia is damaged, rotted, or missing, prompt action is recommended. The Brothers that Just Do Gutters offer expert fascia repair services, including aluminum fascia wraps in multiple sizes or complete fascia replacement.
Detecting rotted fascia can be challenging without removing the gutter. Water running between the fascia and gutter may lead to rot over time. Rotted fascia boards compromise the support for gutters designed to withstand heavy snow accumulations. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to maintaining a functional gutter system.
Soffit, the layer of wood, vinyl, or aluminum extending from the bottom of the fascia to the top piece of your wallboard, collaborates with the fascia to shield rafters from weather and moisture. It also allows proper airflow through soffits and vents, regulating attic temperatures. The Brothers that Just Do Gutters offer installation of perforated vinyl soffit to ensure optimal ventilation for your attic space.
