Fascia and soffits are two key components of any roof with eaves and rain gutters, but few people know what they are:
Fascia: a board that covers the face of an eave or roof overhang. Rain gutters and downspouts are usually attached to the fascia.
Soffit: a board that covers and protects the bottom of an overhang or eave. Most often you will see vents in the soffits.

The roofing experts at Dr. Exteriors know exactly what both components are and how they function. We are your best choice when it comes to soffit and fascia repair on your Omaha home.
Not every home has fascia and soffits, but both components play crucial roles in water drainage and airflow in your home. The fascia is usually a decorative or attractive board attached to the roof to give your house a finished look. Besides holding the rain gutters, the fascia also keeps water from seeping underneath the shingles of your roof. The soffit helps to regulate the inside temperature of your home and the attic. Cool air flows into the vents of the soffit, and the warmer air is forced out through exhaust vents on your roof.
Being integral parts of your roof, the fascia and the soffits—just like the roof—undergo a lot of wear and tear from the elements. If your roof is getting beat up by sun and heat in the summer and snow and ice in the winter, so are your fascia and the soffits—which means sooner or later they both will need some repair.
