How Do Roof Fascia Boards Preserve a Home?

Look up at where the edge of your roof reaches the outer wall of your residence. The wooden boards that run just below the eaves where these two features join have very important roles. They provide two primary purposes that are equally important to home maintenance:

  • Ensuring a sturdy surface for attaching gutters, which catch rain and melted snow and channel it away from the property.
  • Shut and safeguard the overhang and attic from the elements.

Soffits Are Not the Same Thing, but Are Adjacent to Roof Fascia Boards

It's not uncommon to mistake the roof fascia board with soffit, but they serve separate purposes. The first boards are what the gutters are attached to, while soffit is the panel underneath that protects the rafters and attic. We're proud to be knowledgeable about both, ensuring your entire system is protected against harmful pests and weather.

The Hidden Dangers of Compromised Boards on Your Roof

The soundness of the roofline is an important gauge of how well the home is holding up. Rotting, split, or incorrectly installed parts will cause some expensive and frustrating issues. If water drips behind these components, it will initiate wood rot in the surrounding siding and the rafters they're meant to protect. This destruction will also weaken the support propping gutters up, causing them to sag and leading to improper drainage. This is how homeowners fall into unnecessary hassles. Our team of brothers identifies and fixes these issues before they get out of hand.

FAQs About These Exterior Boards and How They Impact Gutter Systems

The lifespan of the roof fascia board depends on the quality of the materials used, weather, and how often it is serviced. Untreated wood could last 10-15 years, while well-maintained, sufficiently painted wood can last up to 20-30 years. However, if water seeps behind the gutters, rot can happen a lot faster. Our aluminum-clad boards provide a tough, low-maintenance solution that will greatly extend the life of your entire gutter system.

Some signs of a compromised roof fascia board include splintering, fading wood, and peeling paint. Pest infestations are also a sign to look out for, as they can pass through the holes. We offer free on-site estimates, where we’ll thoroughly assess everything for any indication of damage.
