Fascia boards (the vertical trim at the roof edge) and soffits (the horizontal panels under the eave overhang) protect your roof structure from moisture, pests, and weather. Over time, NorCal's wet winters cause fascia to rot, especially behind clogged gutters. Soffit panels can deteriorate or be damaged by animals seeking attic access. Our repair service includes removing damaged sections, treating exposed framing for moisture, installing new primed or PVC fascia and vented soffit panels, and reattaching gutters. PVC and composite materials offer maintenance-free alternatives to wood.

Fascia & Soffit Repair — Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my fascia is rotted?+

Look for peeling paint, soft or spongy spots when probed, visible black or brown discoloration, or sections that crumble when touched. Also check for water stains on the soffit below the gutter line.

Should I use wood or PVC fascia?+

PVC (cellular PVC) fascia never rots, doesn't need painting, and resists insects. It costs about 50% more than wood but lasts indefinitely in NorCal's climate. Wood fascia is more affordable and traditional-looking but requires regular painting.

Why is my fascia rotting behind the gutters?+

Clogged gutters overflow backward, soaking the fascia board. Ice dams (rare in NorCal) and worn drip edge also allow water behind the gutter. Proper gutter maintenance and drip edge installation prevent recurring rot.

Do vented soffits improve attic ventilation?+

Yes. Vented soffits provide the intake air that ridge vents or roof vents exhaust. Without soffit ventilation, attic temperatures can exceed 150°F in NorCal summers, damaging shingles from below and increasing cooling costs.
