Soffit & fascia installation, replacement & repair in Pittsburgh.

Fascia is the vertical trim board running along the edge of your roof - the long board your gutters mount to. Soffit is the horizontal panel underneath the roof overhang, between the fascia and the side of your house. You see fascia from the street; soffit you only really see if you look up while standing close to the house.

It's the most exposed wood on the house. Fascia takes water from any gutter leak or ice dam directly, and soffit can wick moisture upward into rafter tails when the fascia fails. Most of our soffit/fascia jobs start with a customer noticing a gutter sag - the rot is usually right behind it.

Best done together. Once the gutters are off for a roof install, we can replace any rotted fascia for a fraction of what it costs to do it as a separate trip. If you're getting a roof and we see rot, ask for it in the same quote.

Aluminum (or vinyl-wrapped) for 95% of homes - it doesn't rot, doesn't need paint, and looks like wood from the ground. We only recommend wood for historic homes or specific architectural styles where building code or HOA rules require it.

Vented soffit has small slots or perforations that let air flow into your attic. If your attic gets too hot in summer (ice damming in winter is a related symptom), upgrading from solid to vented soffit is one of the cheapest ways to fix it. We inspect attic ventilation during the quote.

Almost always water - failing gutters, ice dams, missing drip edge, or roof leaks dripping down behind the fascia. Replacing rotted wood without fixing the source means it'll rot again. We diagnose the cause first and include that fix in the quote.
