Fascia boards can be wrapped in aluminum vinyl coated (PVC) metal,  protecting the wood from the elements and making it maintenance free, requiring no painting. Aluminum Vinyl wrap metal used to wrap fascia boards are available in a broad range of colors, in a flat or textured finish. Vinyl soffit panels are the perfect in-expensive way for replacement of rotted wood soffits. Vented soffit panels allow air to circulate through the attic, reducing heat buildup in summer and reducing moisture in winter. Solid soffit panels are used where ventilation is not required. Vinyl soffit panels are available in a broad range of colors. Vinyl soffit never needs paint so your soffits are maintenance free.

 

 

Rotten wood is often found in the eaves of older homes as the result of years of dripping water from the roof. Fascia and soffit boards can be replaced with traditional wood lumber or with low maintenance trim products such as vinyl aluminum fascia wrap, and vinyl soffit panels.

We prefer to replace the wood to avoid further decay and continuing mold growth. We then can install the new soffits and fascia as needed.

The soffit is a wide perforated vinyl panel that runs completely around the house under the eaves. The first step is to make sure that the walls have their two coats of paint in the area where it will be installed so that no fresh paint creeps onto it.   Then a chalk line is stretched along the wall matching the wood fascia below the drip line of the roof. Then an “F” strip (shaped like the letter F) is nailed to the wall with the F turned upside down.  The space between the arms of the F hold the soffit on the house side. 

The soffit is measured and cut to length running in narrow strips across from the F strip to the wood fascia and nailed into the wood fascia.  The other end is held by the F strip alone.  The strips lock together along the edges where they overlap.    An aluminum sheet (fascia) formed into an L shape (not shown) is later attached over the wood fascia so that the bottom of the L laps over the nails in the soffit and covers them.   The result is a completely water tight protective covering of the wood surfaces along the roof edge and a completely enclosed eave that can ventilate the house.

The soffit greatly improves the look of the house and at the same time performs a couple of vital services for the home. It allows cool air to enter the attic area and carry hot air out of the roof through the roof vent. It also keeps out most bugs and all larger critters and allows the attic to breathe when pressure changes.
