How Do You Know if You Need New Soffit and Fascia?

Soffit and fascia are essential in keeping your home protected against harsh outdoor elements and weather conditions. Despite this fact, many times, they don’t get the attention they need. Like any roofing component, they deteriorate as they age and would eventually need replacement.

Continue reading to find out when it’s time to replace soffits and fascia. 

Poor Ventilation

Aside from helping ventilate your attic, soffits are also vital to prevent moisture and heat accumulation in the space. It helps prevent moisture-related issues like rot and keeps your HVAC system efficient. If there are issues with your roof ventilation, it could be a sign that you need new soffits. To determine if this is the case, contact reliable roofers for an inspection. 

Leaking Gutters

Gutters divert rainwater away from your home, preventing damage to your roof, siding, windows and landscaping. This exterior component can start leaking if its support system, the soffits and fascias, are in bad condition. You can make your gutter system efficient again and prevent costly water damage by investing in new soffits and fascia. 

Cracking and Flaking Exterior Paint

Flaking, peeling or cracking exterior paint will harm your home’s curb appeal. If you’ve noticed it in your soffits and fascia, it means you’ll need to replace them. When getting new ones, you must also deal with what’s causing the issue in the first place. The paint could be flaking or peeling because your roof is leaking. When not addressed, you could face further issues like mold and mildew growth or rot.
