Though you may not think of soffit and fascia when you’re planning your home exterior project, it is an extremely important factor in the overall look and protection of your home. Whether you know what soffit and fascia are, you need to carefully do your research in order to have a successful home project. No matter if you are completing this project for your own needs or you are looking to boost your home’s value before selling, you need to have the right team in place for your project.

Here, our team at Tony’s Lifetime Exteriors will discuss what to keep in mind for your soffit and fascia installation project.

What is Soffit?

Soffit is the material that covers the underside of your roof’s overhang. Like siding and roofing, soffit comes in a variety of different materials, such as metal, wood, and vinyl. Soffit is critical in protecting the underside of your roof and enhances the appearance of your home for anyone who is close to it. Whether you need soffit repair or installation, our team at Tony’s can help you complete your project.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is the material situated above the soffit and is visible from the curb. It is essentially an extra layer of siding to cover the exterior of your home and enhance your curb appeal. Additionally, the gutters rest on top of this material, so if it’s not properly installed, your gutter system can be affected, which can damage your home.

The Benefits of Soffit & Fascia Installation

Though some of the benefits of soffit and fascia installation are listed above, they provide a variety of other benefits that are crucial to the longevity of your home. Both of these materials have their own benefits that, when put together, create the ultimate protection for your home’s exterior.

Here are some of the benefits of new soffit and fascia installations.

The Benefits of New Soffit

As stated above, soffit is the material that protects the underside of your roof that is the result of the overhang. Soffit provides ventilation for your attic space. While this may seem contradictory because you don’t want outside air in your home. However, the ventilation is necessary to air out any moisture that may accumulate in the closed-off space. This prevents the development of mold and other dangerous growths. Additionally, if your soffit is not tightly sealed or is damaged in some way, pests, such as hornets, bees, or small animals can get into your attic.

The Benefits of New Fascia

Fascia is the material your gutters rest on and is visible between your roof and overhang. Fascia is crucial to supporting both your gutter system, as well as the lowest layer of roofing on your home. Fascia is vital to curb appeal and supporting your roof and gutters during extreme weather conditions, like heavy rains.
