Complete your Exterior Projects with New Soffit and FasciaSoffit and Fascia are part of the structure of your home, specifically your roof. Installment is a detail oriented job and should be installed by a contractor who knows what they are doing and with plenty of experience. A poorly installed project can leave your home looking messy, damaged and potentially create bigger problems down the road. Soffited eaves and fascia are susceptible to water damage caused by ice dams, improper flashing, torn shingles, and faulty gutters. Once water has seeped in, the rot spreads quickly because the wood stays soggy inside the dark, damp space.
In case you're wondering, soffit helps regulate your homes temperature which allows your roof to "breathe." Cool, dry air is drawn into the soffit vent, and hot moist air is forced out of roof exhaust vents. The fascia is the decorative board along the side of the overhang and the roof that helps your roof appear finished. Common signs of soffit and fascia needing replacement include, cracks and flaking paint, water in roof void and lack of ventilation. Evidence of pests is usually a good give away as well. The soffit and fascia is designed to keep bugs, rodents and bats out of your roof and attic. If they are getting in, you may have a problem with your system. There is no general rule when it comes to colour and matching with your eavestroughs. You can make it matchy-matchy, black on black, {see photo), complimentary bold colours or you can choose to go a lighter or darker shade in contrast to your eavestroughs. Consider some quick online searches to see which colours you like best and take into account, there will be a time period for the custom colours to arrive from the warehouse. |
