Soffit Installations & Repairs

Benefits of Soffit

Soffits help to protect the underside of your roof from the elements. Without them, rain and snow can cause your roof to mould and rot over time.Soffits also help protect your roof from other natural elements, like birds, insects, and other pests that could be looking for a warm, dry place during the winter months.The main reason to install a soffit on your home is to ensure proper ventilation. Soffits and your attic assist in the proper ventilation of your home by recirculating heat and moisture, ensuring it doesn't build up. In addition to health and comfort, if your attic has properly vented soffits, it can reduce your energy bill. Soffits can also add to the value and curb appeal of your home. They are more aesthetically pleasing than the bare beams they conceal and are available in a variety of colours and materials, so they are a great way to customize your home.The two most commonly used types of soffit are vented and solid. The vented soffit should be cleaned at least every two years by using compressed air to help clear the openings of dust, dirt, and bits of debris. Soffits have a moisture-resistant coating and can be easily cleaned with a mild detergent.
