Soffit & Fascia Installation

Soffit and fascia are roof supports that help keep your home ventilated and leak-free. They also contribute to the overall look of your home, so it’s important they match the roof and siding.  

• Soffit: The underside of the eaves or overhangs of a roof. Soffit is typically made from wood, aluminum, vinyl or fibre cement. It ventilates the attic and protects the roof structure from moisture and rot. Aesthetically, soffit can enhance the appearance of a home by hiding the structural elements of the roof and creating a finished look.
• Fascia: The forward-facing board or trim that is installed along the edge of the roofline, where the roof meets the outer walls of the house. Fascia supports the bottom row of tiles or shingles on the roof, protects the roof structure and covers the ends of the roof rafters for a more cohesive look.  

Soffit and fascia are essential elements of your roofing structure. They play critical roles in protecting your home and roof from moisture and ventilation issues. Like your roof, soffit and fascia also provide aesthetic appeal, so your home exterior looks consistent and polished from the outside.

Professional soffit and fascia installers will ensure this vital roof support is safe, effective and contributing to your home’s curb appeal. Well installed soffit and fascia will last the test of time and protect your roof system from deteriorating too early. Like with new roof and siding installation, it’s important to get it right.

We offer a wide selection of soffit and fascia styles, including composite, fibre cement, and recycled PVC.

If your soffit and fascia is looking worn down, it could be a sign to replace it. Cracks, peeling paint, pest damage or water in your roof void indicate it’s time to either repair or replace. If your soffit and fascia panels are no longer guaranteed by the manufacturer or older than 10 years, it’s a good idea to start planning a full replacement.

Soffit and fascia panels come with a guaranteed life expectancy. Depending on the type you choose soffits and fascias are usually guaranteed for at least 10 years. Our home exterior techs can help you pick the right materials and advise on their lifespan when you request a quote.

While some homeowners do install their own soffits and fascias, we recommend hiring professional roofing experts for installation projects. For one, your soffit and fascia are your home’s key lines of defence against weather and the elements.
