When you look at your home’s exterior, you might notice that something is missing if you don’t have soffit and fascia installed. Most homeowners have them added as part of their roofing installation. If you are building a new home or replacing your roof, you need to know exactly what soffit and fascia are, how they help your home, and how to care for them.

What are Soffit & Fascia?

To locate soffit on a house, you need to look at the area that spans beneath the rafter tails. Fascia, on the other hand, is the area that is exposed at the end of the rafters. Since soffit and fascia are part of the aesthetics of your home’s exterior, many people want the color and material to compliment the rest of their home’s exterior. Both parts are usually made of materials like aluminum and wood.
