What is facia?
Facia is a board (generally wood or sheet metal) that is attached vertically to the border of your roof. Facia connects to your trusses, rafters, or gutters. It serves a multitude of purposes. The first is to provide a crisp, clean look to your roof. Without facia boards, your rafters and trusses would be exposed, and your property’s roofing would not appear uniform. Facia also prevents damage from being incurred by your rafters, such as wood rot due to excessive moisture. Lastly, facia acts as a support for your gutters and holds them in place. In short, they are incredibly important and should be maintained effectively at all times.
What is a soffit?
The soffit is placed on the underside (generally horizontally) of an architectural structure, such as a roof, balcony, or arch. Soffits are installed with the intention to protect the interior structure from damage. The person or company installing your soffit must consider ventilation within your roof, as improper ventilation will create the perfect conditions for moisture to collect and the structure to become damaged. The soffit prevents pests, such as birds or bats, from nesting within your roof and ensures that minimal dust enters your property.
When should you call a professional?
While cracks and flaking paint on your facia or soffit can seem like minor cosmetic issues, they can often lead to water leaking. If you have noticed issues such as these, we recommend that you call us immediately and allow us to conduct repairs. If you have noticed that you have pests within your roof, such as rodents or bugs, you may have an issue with your soffit or facia boards. Likewise, the presence of water in your roof void is indicative of issues. The last sign that you may require the help of a professional is a lack of ventilation in your roof or attic. This can lead to several problems with the structure of your property. For more information or guidance on whether you may need our assistance, call us on the number above.
Why hire a professional?
DIY projects can save you money, though they can also cost you a lot of money in the long run. When it comes to repairing soffit and facia, a professional is the safest route to opt for. A professional, such as KC Gutter Pros, possesses all the necessary tools and experience to deliver the best results and ensure that there will not be any further issues down the line.
