Fascia Board / Soffit Repair
Fascia Board / Soffit Repair In Virginia
Typically forgotten, soffit describes the eave (alternatively overhang) of your roof and is undoubtedly important in securing your home. Correctly installed soffits produce air flow in order to ventilate your attic, drive out humidity, minimize mold accumulation and prolong the life of your roofing system.
Soffit vents are notably very important in cooler weather conditions where rooftops are blanketed with snow for substantial periods of time and end up being vulnerable to trapped moisture.
When it comes to such environments, top quality soffit installation will be able to optimize the life expectancy of your roof and also wood decking.
Fascia refers to the vertical edge of the roof. It hides the rough edges of your soffit and supports attached gutters to ensure additional weather and moisture protection.
At .Roofing Repair Ecperts we offer a wide range of styles, colors and materials. This variety allows you to match soffit and fascia to your home’s exterior.
Here are some reasons why having fascia (in good condition) is the best option:
- Fascia provides a layer of strength to help stabilize the gutter.
- Fascia allows a place for the soffit to attach and close off the attic space
- Soffit is vented which prevents winter ice, water from entering the home, and keeps the home cooler in the summer months.
- Open rafter without fascia get screwed into the end grain of the available wood which is not as strong as screwing it into the perpendicular wood of the fascia board (more strength and stability when you are able to screw into grains of wood that run horizontally.
- Open rafters with no fascia often allow for insects and animals to find their way into your home.
