Protecting Your Home’s Exterior Starts at the Roofline
Close your eyes and tell me what comes to mind when I say “home protection”. I can bet you that you didn’t think about your roofline.
The first things that usually come to mind are home security (fences, alarms, etc.), insurance, or maybe the gutters/eavestroughs. But proper fascia and soffit installation play just as important a role as any of those.
How so? Because these two components safeguard your home from water damage, moisture, pests, and structural problems, all while giving your roofline a clean, finished look. It’s protection of your biggest financial asset: your home.
If your soffit and fascia are old, cracked, or pulling away, it’s time to consider a professional installation and replacement.
What Do Fascia and Soffit Actually Do?
Fascia
The fascia is the vertical board that caps the roof edge and supports the eavestrough system. It protects the ends of your rafters from exposure to rain and snow. A strong fascia board also helps keep your eavestroughs firmly in place.
Soffit
The soffit is the horizontal board that sits under the edge of your roof. Its main job is to provide ventilation to your attic, which prevents moisture build-up and reduces the risk of mold. Without proper soffit installation, trapped moisture can shorten the life of your roof and damage insulation.
Why Aluminum is the Best Choice
At The Eavestrough Company, we install aluminum soffit and fascia because it’s the most durable option for Ontario homes. Aluminum doesn’t rot, warp, or peel the way wood does. It holds up against snow, ice, and rain, and it comes backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
Aluminum soffit and fascia also come in a wide range of colours, so you can match or complement your siding and eavestroughs.
The Hidden Risks of Neglecting Proper Fascia and Soffit Installation
Replacing fascia and soffit might not seem urgent, but delaying can lead to a host of problems like:
- Water seeping into your attic or roof deck
- Sagging or loose eavestroughs
- Pests like birds and squirrels nesting in your roofline
- Rotting wood and mold growth
Investing in soffit and fascia installation now can prevent costly repairs later. It’s a fraction of the cost of heavy water damage and sagging roofline. Your home is likely the most expensive thing you’ll ever buy. So make sure you protect it.
Complete Exterior Protection
Your soffit and fascia work together with your eavestroughs and siding to create a durable barrier around your home. When all four components are installed properly, you get a seamless, professional finish that boosts curb appeal and ensures maximum protection against Ontario weather (think ice, water, leaves, wind, hail, etc.).
