Some of the most crucial home components are the ones that usually go unnoticed. These include the soffit and fascia, which are more than just finishing touches for your home. In fact, they play a huge role in keeping your home protected from weather damage. Custom Installations, the trusted metal roofing contractor in the area, shares why you should always keep your soffit and fascia intact.

  1. The soffit prevents moisture damage to your roof. This component refers to the exposed surface beneath the overhanging section of the roof eave. The soffit typically comes with a neat design, along with small openings that allow air to circulate throughout the rafters and sheathing. But here’s another thing that makes the soffit essential–by covering the rafters, it prevents wind-blown rain from entering your roof. This means there’s less potential of rot and moisture damage, which can weaken the roof structure.
  2. The fascia protects the roof and home from inclement weather. The vertical finishing edge connected to the section where the gutter is attached to the roof is called the fascia. It serves as a protective layer between your roof and inclement weather, keeping it safe from high winds and wind-driven rain. What’s more, the fascia discourages pests from entering your roof and settling inside. If you need to update your fascia board, just turn to a premier roofing services expert, Custom Installations for the job. Our skilled and experienced crew can work on it in a timely and efficient manner to ensure your roof and home remains in good condition. 
  3. The soffit and fascia keep your home energy-efficient. Because these components block off significant access through the edges of your roof, they also help add to your home’s insulation. This prevents costly heating or cooling energy from escaping through the rafters. You can enjoy a more consistent, comfortable indoor environment, minus the high energy bills.
