Peeling paint on the fascia, stains under the eave, a sagging soffit panel — those are water and rot talking. Left alone, the rot spreads into rafter tails and deck edges, and blocked soffit vents choke the attic that feeds your ice dams. We repair or replace the edge, and photograph what we find behind it.
Fascia backs the gutter and seals the rafter ends against weather.
Clean soffit and trim lines — the detail you notice from the curb.
Vented soffit is the intake for your whole ventilation system.
Representative photography. Our first Attica-area projects will be documented here.
Water that overshoots or backs up runs behind the fascia board — rot’s front door. Gutters sized right →
The first visible symptoms. Press a screwdriver to the board — if it gives, it’s past painting.
Paint, insulation, or nests in the intake starve the attic of air — and fuel ice dams. Why ice dams start in the attic →
Open joints invite birds, bats, and squirrels into the one space you don’t want them.
We photograph the eaves, soffit, fascia, and gutters — and what’s hiding behind them.
Repair or replace, board by board, itemized in writing. The number doesn’t move.
Damaged wood replaced — not wrapped over — then soffit, fascia, and vents installed clean.
Straight lines, clear vents, a clean yard — you see the edge before we call it done.
The free roof check covers the whole edge — soffit, fascia, gutters, and the vents behind them — with photos and a written, itemized price. If it’s just paint, we’ll tell you that too. See where soffit and fascia sit on the roof →
Fascia is the vertical board at the roof edge — it caps the rafter ends and carries the gutter. Soffit is the horizontal panel underneath the overhang, and on most homes it’s vented to pull fresh air into the attic. One closes the edge, the other lets the roof breathe.
Almost always water from above: gutters that overflow or pull away let runoff track behind the board, and without a proper drip edge the roof sheds water onto it instead of past it. We fix the cause — not just the board — or the new wood rots the same way.
Yes. Edge work stands on its own, and it’s common on roofs with years of life left. If we find damage that reaches the deck or rafter tails, you’ll see photos and get an honest scope before anything grows beyond edge work.
Yes — a roof sheds thousands of gallons a year, and it all lands somewhere. Undersized or clogged gutters dump that water at the foundation, which is how basements get wet and fascia rots. We size gutters and downspouts to the roof that feeds them. See our gutter work →
Soffit, fascia, gutters, and vents — photographed, explained, and priced in writing. No pressure.
