Fascia and soffit
What fascia and soffit are
Look up at the edge of your roof: the board facing out is the fascia, and the panel under the overhang is the soffit. The fascia runs the length of the roof’s edge, over the ends of the rafters, and your gutters hang on it. The soffit covers the underside of the overhang, between the fascia and the wall, and many have vents that let the attic breathe.
Signs your fascia needs repair
Your gutters hang on the fascia board, so trouble with one often shows in the other. Here’s where to look.
-
Wood rot and decay
Check the wood under your roof edge. If it’s soft, spongy or crumbly, water has gotten in.
-
Gutters sagging or pulling away
Hangers hold your gutter to the board. When the wood weakens, they let go.
-
Peeling or blistering paint
Look along the face of the board. Bubbling or flaking paint means water is trapped behind it.
-
Cracking and warping
Check the corners and the long runs in full sun. Sun and swings in temperature crack and warp boards.
-
Hail dents
After a storm, look at the face of your gutters and the metal wrap on the board.
Fascia and the jobs around it
Fascia is rarely a job on its own. It often gets replaced while new gutters go up, or after a hailstorm hits the roof edge. Here’s how we handle each, with a link to the page that covers it.

Fascia and new gutters, done together
Gutters hang on the fascia, so they only hold as well as the board behind them. When the fascia is rotted or damaged, we replace it and hang your new seamless gutters on it in one job.

Hail-damaged fascia
When hail dents or cracks the fascia, the board your gutters hang on, we replace the damaged boards so your gutters stay tight to the house. If a storm did the damage, our office will help you work with your insurance company.

FAQs
Fascia and soffit questions
Who do I call for fascia repair?
A roofer, a gutter company or an exterior contractor can all do it. Your gutters are fastened to the fascia, so a company that does both can fix the board and the gutters in one job, and we often do. Call 806-829-2622 or use the form below, and we’ll look at yours at the free estimate.
Can roofers repair fascia?
Many can, and fascia is often replaced along with a new roof. The gutters hang on the fascia, though, so they have to come off first and go back up after, and not every roofer does gutters. We work alongside roofers, so while yours does the roof, we can take care of the fascia and the gutters.
How much does it cost to replace rotted fascia?
It depends on how many feet of fascia have rotted, how high the roof edge is, which material it’s replaced with, and whether the gutters have to come down and go back up. Rot can also run further along the board than it looks from the ground. Call us and we’ll give you a price before any work starts.
What’s the difference between fascia and soffit?
The fascia is the long board along the edge of the roof. It caps the ends of the rafters, and it’s what your gutters are fastened to. The soffit is the underside of the roof’s overhang, running from the fascia back to the wall, and it’s often vented to let air into the attic. Together they close off the roof’s edge to rain, birds and pests.
Do you work in winter?
Yes. We replace fascia in winter too, even in below-freezing weather, so a rotted fascia board doesn’t have to wait for spring. Call us and we’ll come look at it.
