A roof needs all its components working at peak performance to give you what you deserve. And, two of these components are the soffits and fascias.

Exterior Building Solutions, one of the leading roofing companies in the area, discusses the role they play.

Soffits

Homeowners are aware of how vital roof ventilation is. And, that’s where soffit vents come into play; they’re the vents responsible for allowing fresh air to enter your home. They’re strategically located at the underside of the roof edges to control air flow. They maintain the temperature in your attic by providing cool air to replace the stale, hot air from warmer areas in the interior like the kitchen and bathroom.

Fascias

The fascias run along the roof eaves, securing the edges of your roof. They also hold the gutters in place, which make them indirectly responsible for preventing moisture from causing damage to the innards of the roof. You can certainly have emergency roof repair done for roofs damaged that way, but a stable fascia and gutter system preclude this from happening in the first place.

Combined Function

When paired together, they round out the look of your roof without being mere ornamentation. Still, like the rest of your roof, they require regular maintenance to continue performing their best. You should entrust your roof care to a company with reputable and reliable services.
