Don’t Overlook the Overhang: Why Your Soffit and Fascia Matter
When it comes to curb appeal and home protection, soffit and fascia don’t always get the spotlight—but they should. These elements do more than just finish off your roofline. They protect your home from pests, moisture, and heat buildup—making them extra important during the summer months.
What Are Soffit and Fascia?
- Fascia is the vertical board that runs along the edge of your roof, supporting the bottom row of shingles and your gutters.
- Soffit is the horizontal underside of your roof overhang, often vented to allow airflow into your attic.
Together, these components seal and ventilate the edges of your roof—helping prevent costly issues down the line.
Summer Problems They Help Prevent
- Overheating & Moisture Damage
Vented soffit helps release heat from your attic, keeping your cooling costs down and your roof materials in better shape. - Pest Intrusion
Birds, bees, bats, and bugs all look for shady summer hiding spots. Damaged or missing soffit/fascia is an open invitation. - Gutter Support Failures
Fascia anchors your gutters. If it starts to rot, sag, or pull away, your gutter system can’t do its job during summer storms.
Signs You Need to Replace Soffit or Fascia
