Soffit and Fascia Repair
The soffit, located under the roof’s overhang, helps with ventilation and protects the rafters from weather exposure, while the fascia is the board that runs along the roofline, supporting the gutter system and providing a finished look.

01
What is Soffit and Fascia?
The soffit is the exposed surface beneath the overhanging section of your roof’s eave. It typically contains small ventilation holes that allow air circulation to help ventilate your attic space, maintaining proper airflow. The fascia is a vertical board located where your roof meets the outer walls of your house, often where your gutters are attached.

Problems that may occur:
Common problems with soffit and fascia in Chicago include aluminum sections missing due to strong winds, wood rot, pest infestations, and ventilation issues. The city’s harsh weather can cause aluminum to detach, leaving the underlying wood exposed to moisture and leading to rot. Damaged or loose soffits may also allow pests like birds and insects to enter, causing further harm.
Wood rot often occurs when moisture seeps into the fascia, causing it to deteriorate, especially if gutters are clogged or leaking

Build a bird box for soffit
Some homes in Chicago have angled fascia, we often build a soffit bird box to address the challenges this design presents. Without a soffit bird box, the gutter is typically attached directly to the roof (shingles) due to the angled fascia, which can create small openings or gaps where birds might nest. These nests can lead to damage, blocked ventilation, and other issues. By building a soffit bird box, we create a straight fascia, providing a secure attachment point for the gutter while closing off any potential nesting spots. This solution not only modernizes the roofline but also helps protect your home from potential problems caused by bird activity.
