Tips on Choosing Soffits and Fascias

Soffits and fascias are essential in protecting your home, particularly your roofing, against different types of damage. Whether constructing a new home or remodeling your property, installing the right types of soffits and fascias can make a big difference. Soffits and fascias give your roof a finished look that enhances your home’s curb appeal. If you notice that parts of your soffit and fascia are beginning to warp, dent, or generally deteriorate, it’s time to act. 

Damaged soffit and fascia may lead to more significant roof problems or may indicate that something serious is going on with your roof. To avoid a costlier roof replacement, consider contacting Woodbridge Home Solution once you notice damage. 

 

Woodbridge, a trusted provider of energy-efficient windows, shares a few tips on choosing soffits and fascias. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is a Soffit Panel?

A soffit panel is the bottom part of a roof’s overhang that connects the edge of the roof to the siding. It has several functions, such as enhancing air circulation and keeping pests out. If you leave the underside of your roof uncovered, wasps, bats, squirrels, and other critters will colonize your attic space and possibly the rest of your home, wreaking havoc on your property!

You have several options when it comes to soffit material. It’s a good idea to weigh their pros and cons to ensure the best fit for your home:

• Metal soffit boards: Steel and aluminum soffits are both good options because they are non-flammable and durable. Aluminum, however, does not degrade like steel, making it easier to maintain. However, both materials are not dent-proof.
• Synthetic soffit boards: These typically include vinyl soffits, which are durable and low-maintenance. Vinyl soffit installations are also water-resistant and come in various colors and textures.
• Natural materials: Wood soffits are timeless and depending on the rest of your roofing system, wood can actually be an easy material to work with. Much like replacement windows, wood soffits can be treated so that they won’t rot easily. However, wood soffit and fascia are vulnerable to chipping and flaking.

What Is Fascia?

Also known as a transition trim, a fascia board typically connects to a building’s roofline, giving it that attractive, finished look. Beyond elevating curb appeal, fascias play several vital roles, including keeping roof shingles in place and mitigating moisture and water damage. What’s more, the fascia houses your home’s gutters.  

Different types of fascias are available on the market. They include square, bullnose, ogee, flat, and cap-over (also known as reveal liners). If you are planning a full fascia replacement, ensure that the boards are thick enough to secure the nail directly to the rafters and hold the eaves. Additionally, ensure that you are getting the correct size of fascia boards. Measuring your existing fascia board can help you with this.

Our friendly and professional experts will take care of measurements and more for you. So don’t hesitate to contact us, if your soffits and fascias are warping, dented, or severely damaged.
