Have you ever given much thought to your home’s soffit? If you haven’t had to invest time in considering the roof or siding on your home, then you likely haven’t. But when the soffit on your home becomes damaged or falls into disrepair, it is vital to your home’s structural integrity to have it evaluated.
In the event you need complete soffit replacement, we want to address these five Ws to help you better prepare for this service.
- What? Soffit is the finishing material on the underside of a roof overhang. It not only completes the look of a roof by ensuring it is finished with a material that matches or complements your home’s siding, but it also provides important protection and ventilation.
- Where? As stated, soffit is the visible portion of the roof’s overhang. Without it, the unfinished rafters and sheathing would be visible, open to the elements, and at risk for pest infestations.
- When? When storm damage or wear and tear through the years leaves your soffit in disrepair, it may be time for soffit replacement. You will want to contact a professional right away to provide an inspection.
- Why? Soffit is vital in supporting the structural integrity of your roofing, sealing your home, and providing proper ventilation for your roof. When it is damaged, time is of the essence in getting it repaired or replaced so that you don’t face more serious problems or costly repairs down the road.
