Your soffit and fascia may not seem to important at first glance – they are just small roofing components, after all – but the truth is these two parts are invaluable in protecting the structure they are built on from harsh weather conditions. It is for this reason that you should think hard about your soffit and fascia installation. Before looking at contractors, though, it is important you understand the basic functions of these two roofing essentials.

Soffit

The soffit is the exposed surface on the underside of the overhanging eaves. Because it is visible from below, its aesthetic appeal is even more important than the roof’s. At the same time, though, the soffit must be able to stand up to heat and moisture. This is especially true in Oakville, Burlington, and other areas with high winds, where rain and debris can swirl up under the eaves. A soffit also serves the purpose of keeping your attic ventilated. It is for this reason that most soffits feature tiny holes to let air circulate and are made from a durable and waterproof material, such as vinyl.

Fascia

The fascia, the vertical edge that borders the area where the gutter is attached to the roof, is tasked with protecting the wooden boards that make up the roof itself from harsh winds and rains. Waterlogged roofing boards mean repairing the entire roof, which is very expensive, so keeping your fascia in good condition is very important. If your gutters are backed up, new eavestrough installation can go a long way towards keeping a healthy fascia, as the fascia board is where rainwater will end up if the gutters are backed up. A professional-looking fascia installation is key to the roof’s overall aesthetic, since it gives the edges of the roof, which are arguably the most visible part, a smooth, clean look.

Again, roofing repair and replacement are extremely expensive, and quality soffit and fascia installation, which is very cheap by comparison, will keep your roof from falling into disrepair.

In terms of the features on the exterior of a property, the soffits and fascias are not typically high on the list of priorities for most homeowners, with elements that are more visible (such as windows, doors and siding) and have more of an impact upon the property’s aesthetics receiving more attention. However, soffits and fascias perform a number of very important functions and when in good condition are capable of protecting your property from the harsh weather conditions we experience in Milton, Burlington and Oakville. Alliance Trust Aluminum Inc. has been completing professional soffit and fascia installation jobs in the area for more than six years and owing to the speed and quality of our work, we have a long list of satisfied clients.

Not Sure What Soffits and Fascias Are?

While the majority of property owners are aware of the approximate location where soffits and fascias are installed, they are not usually too sure about what they are. Fascias are a type of long board that stretches the length of the property in the area where the bottom of the roof meets the outer walls, a space which is also sometimes referred to as the roofline. Soffits are installed on the underside of the fascia and can’t usually be seen without getting up close to the property.

Why Do You Need a Soffit and Fascia Installation?

Without a soffit and fascia installation that is kept in good condition, it goes without saying that the condition of your property would suffer and the living conditions inside your home would be considerably worse. Each of these elements performs a very important role:

• Soffits – If you have lived in Milton, Burlington or Oakville for any length of time you are probably more than aware that sometimes it can get very windy, which can change the natural path of rain water and cause it to be blown up the underside of the roof. Soffits prevent water from entering your property when this happens and also contain small ventilation holes that make sure there is a good circulation of air in your home’s attic.
• Fascias – Occupying a more prominent position than soffits, fascias can have an impact upon the appearance of your home, in addition to preventing moisture from getting inside and problems such as mould and mildew growth from developing.
