Rotted fascia and damaged soffit are common — and they get worse fast. Dee's Roofing repairs the roof edge so your gutters stay put and pests stay out.
The roof edge sees a lot of water. When gutters overflow, drip edge is missing, or shingles don't extend far enough, water soaks into the fascia board and starts to rot it from behind. Squirrels and birds find soft spots and chew their way into the attic. Soffit panels loosen in the wind or sag where the wood behind them has failed. Dee's Roofing provides soffit and fascia repair to fix the damage and the cause.
We remove gutters where needed, cut out rotted fascia, check the rafter tails behind it, and install new boards. Damaged or missing soffit is replaced, animal entry points are closed off, and the gutters go back up securely with the correct pitch.
Just as important, we figure out why the wood rotted — whether it's clogged or overflowing gutters, missing drip edge or a roof edge problem — so the repair lasts. You'll get a free estimate and an honest explanation before any work begins.
These are the roof edge problems we fix most often.
Soft, decayed boards replaced so gutters have solid support.
Chewed or broken areas repaired and entry points closed.
Sagging or wind-loosened soffit panels re-secured or replaced.
Gutters reattached once the fascia behind them is sound.
Rotted fascia doesn't get better on its own. As it weakens, gutters pull away and dump water right where the damage started, and the rot can spread to rafter tails and roof decking.
Openings in soffit and fascia are also an invitation to squirrels, birds, bats and insects. Once animals get into an attic, they can damage insulation and wiring.
A customer who called us about his gutters found that his fascia boards were completely shot. Fixing the fascia first is what let his new gutters look and work the way they should.
Here's what a soffit and fascia repair from Dee's includes.
Clogged or overflowing gutters, missing drip edge, and water getting behind the gutter are the most common causes.
Yes. If the damage is limited, we can replace only the rotted sections.
When the rot is behind the gutter, yes. We take the gutter down, repair the fascia, and reattach it securely.
We repair damaged soffit and fascia and close off the openings animals use to get in. If animals are already inside, you may need a wildlife professional to remove them first.
If your gutters are old or leaking, it can be a good time to upgrade to seamless gutters. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
