Understanding Eaves: Function, Design, and Types
Eaves are the edges of a roof that extend beyond the walls of a building. Their main purpose is to direct rainwater or snow away from the building’s foundation, preventing water damage.
This overhang provides additional protection to walls, windows, and the foundation from harsh weather elements.
Eaves are also commonly referred to as soffit and fascia.
Soffit and fascia Services
Soffit: This is the underside of the eaves, often ventilated to allow airflow into the attic and prevent moisture buildup, which can reduce the risk of mold and damage to the roof structure. The soffit is generally made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum.
Fascia: Attached to the edge of the roof, the fascia is a vertical board that provides a finished look to the eaves. It also serves as the mounting point for the gutter system and protects the ends of the roof rafters from weather exposure. Fascia boards are typically made from wood, PVC, or aluminum and are often wrapped for extra durability..
Common Soffit and Fascia Issues and Solutions
Soffit and fascia are essential parts of a home’s exterior but are prone to issues like rot, water damage, pest infestations, peeling paint, and ventilation problems.
Solutions include wrapping them with aluminum for a maintenance-free, weather-resistant finish, replacing damaged sections, sealing gaps to prevent pests, and improving ventilation with vented soffits.
These measures protect your home and enhance its durability and appearance.
