Soffit Repair

Soffit most commonly refers to the horizontal underside of the eaves, the part of the roof that overhangs the walls of a house. The soffit typically bridges the gap between a home’s siding and the roofline. It plays a crucial role in ventilating the attic and protecting the rafters from the elements, thus helping to prevent mold growth and moisture-related issues.

To repair or replace a soffit, we inspect the area for damage such as rot, cracks, or holes to determine the extent of the necessary work. We carefully remove the damaged soffit panels. We measure the dimensions of the removed panels and cut new ones to size. We fit the new soffit panels into place, ensuring proper alignment with the existing structure, and secure them with screws or nails, allowing for natural expansion and contraction. We may seal the edges of the new panels with caulk to prevent moisture infiltration. If using wood panels, we paint or stain them before installation to protect against elements. Finally, we clean up any debris from the process and inspect the new installation to ensure it is secure and properly ventilated, maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your property.
