Maintaining the structural integrity of a building begins with proper maintenance of its exterior, including siding, windows, fascia, soffits, and more. At Wheatland Roofing, we have been offering unparalleled roofing solutions since 1995. Over the decades, we have become the go-to contractor for soffit repairs, fascia installations, and other services.
At Wheatland Roofing, we pride ourselves on exceptional customer service, cost-effective fascia repairs, and soffit installations. Let our team take the stress out of your soffit and fascia installation or repair project.
Soffits are the panels placed horizontally on the underside of your roof’s overhang. They’re an architectural design that connects the top part of your home’s siding or wall to the roof. Thus, soffit panels are essential to your home’s roof and exterior design. They work with fascia boards, gutters, and roofs to protect your home from excess moisture and water damage. Here’s how.
Soffit installation improves ventilation in the attic. These are crucial factors considering the seasonal changes and harsh weather elements in Regina Beach. With proper attic ventilation, the upper section of your house will be less susceptible to significant temperature changes. Thus, your lofts and the attic will have a consistent temperature.
Proper ventilation is essential throughout the year. During the summer, hot air may be trapped in the upper areas of your home. Poor ventilation means the hot air will be trapped for an extended period. This could lead to mildew, mould growth, and sweating (condensation). Alternatively, you’ll need to rely on your HVAC system, which will increase your energy bills.
Strong winds and rainfall in spring increase the risk of moisture buildup under the eaves, particularly if the soffit panels aren’t installed correctly. Rainwater can easily infiltrate your property’s interior, leading to mould growth, rot, and moisture damage.
From our experience, winter is nearly impossible to manage without efficient soffits. Condensation from snow and ice can cause excess moisture on the rafters. This can destroy the structural beams and cause rot or mould growth. Whether you plan to install soffits in a new construction or repair existing soffit panels, you can count on us for quality workmanship.
Your roof’s eave would be unattractive without soffit panels. The exposed structural beams may be vulnerable to water intrusion and moisture buildup damage. The exterior walls or siding would have an unfinished appearance. Therefore, installing high-quality soffit panels gives your home a polished appearance.
Our team of professional roofers has been handling soffit projects since 1995. Regardless of the type and dimensions of your roof, our skilled contractors will assess the existing soffit panels and recommend cost-effective repairs or full replacement. Here are the common soffit materials we recommend.
Wood Soffits
Wooden soffits improve your property’s curb appeal regardless of your preferred hues. With proper installation, wood soffit panels can last decades and are environmentally friendly. Remember, the underside may be vulnerable to water damage and requires regular inspection or maintenance.
Aluminum Soffits
One of the top benefits of aluminum soffits is that they’re flexible, easy to install, and require less maintenance. Aluminum soffit panels are also resistant to chipping, water damage, and rot. Unlike wooden panels, aluminum soffits are fire-resistant and more durable.
Vinyl Soffits
The main benefit of vinyl soffit panels is affordability. Unlike wood, vinyl soffits don’t require regular maintenance and are resistant to rot, chipping, and moisture damage. Vinyl is also energy-efficient and offers maximum insulation.
Fascia boards support the structural integrity of your roof and improve your building’s curb appeal. Our roofers install fascia panels vertically at the end of the roof edge to cover the rafter tails. Note that soffits and fascia are located at the roof edge. However, they serve different roles.
The primary role of fascia is to protect the entire roofline (both the bottom edge and the outer edge) from moisture and water infiltration. From our experience, a roof’s drip edge is the most vulnerable part of a sloped or hip roof because rainwater can easily seep below the roofing shingles (through capillary action). In addition, strong winds can drive rainwater under the shingles near the roof edge if there are no fascia boards.
Whether you want to install fascia on a new roof or repair panels on an existing drip edge, our certified roofers are ready to help. We’ll help compare different fascia panels and choose an option that protects your roof’s eave while improving the overall curb appeal.
Wood fascia boards are the most common fascia option in Regina Beach residential and commercial properties. Our team recommends redwood and cedar boards as they resist rot and excessive moisture damage.
Aluminum fascia may be available in a broad range of pre-painted colours. All you have to do is choose aluminum fascia panels that complement your home’s exterior design and curb appeal. At Wheatland Roofing, we recommend aluminum over wood fascia panels for clients who need durable and low-maintenance fascia, especially if they aren’t on a limited budget.
There is no fixed schedule for repairing or replacing soffits and fascia. That doesn't mean signs of wear should be ignored. When these exterior roof components stop functioning as intended, it's time to take action. At Wheatland Roofing, we assess your soffits and fascia and advise on whether repair or replacement is best for your home. Here are the warning signs you should pay attention to:
Cracks or Breakage
Small cracks on a soffit double channel often seem harmless, but they can grow quickly and damage the entire panel. Ignoring cracks on soffits and fascia can lead to costly repairs or necessitate new fascia installation. Our experts can inspect your roof and determine whether installing soffit or repairing the existing panels is cost-effective. Early intervention will save you time and money.
High Utility Bills
Soffits and fascia help ensure adequate air circulation, especially in the attic. Damaged soffit and fascia can allow excess moisture into the attic, forcing your HVAC to overwork. If you notice higher utility bills without a clear cause, improper ventilation due to failing soffit and fascia could be the cause. Let our team assess your vented soffits, nailings strips, and fascia area to determine the source of air leakage and fix it.
Excess Moisture
One of the key functions of soffits and fascia is to protect your home against moisture and water infiltration. If these roofing parts are damaged, moisture can easily infiltrate your home, leading to mould, stained ceilings, or damaged roof beams. Our team can thoroughly inspect your soffits and fascia to identify the cause of the moisture problem and address it.
Interior Sweat
Condensation on the upper walls or ceiling area is often due to poor ventilation. Damaged soffits and fascia can increase indoor humidity. That excess moisture condenses into water droplets, leaving visible signs of damage on your interior walls. Our team will repair the underlying soffit and fascia issues to restore your home's exterior appearance and indoor comfort.
