Why Care About Fascia and Soffits?
As a Florida homeowner, you know the demands our sunny climate makes. Fascia and soffits under the roof’s edge bear intense sun and rain. Properly maintained, they protect vulnerable spots. Ignore them and expect trouble – leaks, pests, rot. Take care of them!
Stop Water Intrusion
Sitting under the roofline, fascia and soffits prevent water seepage. Damaged soffits let moisture sneak into attic and walls. Water brings mold, mildew, rot, many more!
Don’t Let Pests In
Raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice seek any gap to enter. Tight fascia and soffits keep them out of your attic and walls. Once inside, pests wreak havoc on insulation, wiring, storage. Ugh!
Avoid Rot & Decay
Exposed rafters and roof decking are prone to moisture damage and decay. Intact fascia and soffits protect these spots from sun and rain. Your roof lasts longer.
Warning Signs of Trouble
Don’t wait for a wet attic or squirrel invasion! Check fascia and soffits periodically. Watch for:
- Cracked, peeling, warped fascia
- Sagging soffit panels or gutters
- Gaps at seams and corners
- Pest entry/exit holes
- Moisture stains, mildew, rot

FAQ
Why do I need to replace my fascia boards if they don’t look damaged?
Even if they appear intact, old fascia boards can warp, crack, or deteriorate over time, allowing for water intrusion and pest entry points. Replacement ensures tight sealing.
What’s the difference between wood, aluminum, and vinyl fascia?
Wood requires frequent repainting but has a classic look. Aluminum is lightweight yet strong. Vinyl is budget-friendly and low-maintenance. Each has pros and cons.
How often should soffits be inspected?
Soffits should be checked at least annually for any moisture, mildew, gaps or holes where pests enter. This helps catch minor damage before it worsens.
