From the ground up it may appear that the fascia boards and soffits just need a new coat of paint but sometimes the weight of the gutters or debris can cause the nails to eventually pull out. The gutter can tilt and cause an open space between itself and the fascia board. Water then goes down the fascia board and spreads along the soffit. Water will not only damage the fascia board it can also fall along the foundation or spread into the ceiling. Upon close inspection of the wood it will become obvious that it’s beyond repair and needs to be replaced.
Our gutter repair experts will pry off the fascia board along the eave and clean out any debris behind it. They will remove the flashing and replace any under-soffit plywood. Any rotting, spongy, brittle or crumbling boards are removed. New flashing, fascia boards and soffit vents are then installed.
Soffit vents are the rectangular vents on the underside of the soffit. They’re usually made of vinyl or aluminum and they are covered with a nylon mesh or netting to prevent bees, etc. from taking up residence in your attic. Neglected soffits can be a haven for small animals, insects, and rot that can create problems in the overall structure of the house.
We offer a variety of soffit types including plywood, vinyl, or aluminum or we can match the old soffit with tongue-and-groove beaded board. TMK Remodeling Inc. can replace existing materials to protect your home from the elements or we can transform your home with new fascias and soffits to improve its appearance and value.
