Soffit is a crucial component of any roof. They are the flat boards located underneath the eaves or beneath the overhang of the roof, and they help protect your home from the elements. The roofing contractors of Superior Products Exteriors in Cincinnati, Ohio, understand the importance of soffit and the role it plays in keeping you and your family safe and protected.

They’re here with three tips for taking care of your soffit:

• Check & Clean Your Soffit Regularly: Inspect your soffit every spring to make sure they are intact and free of debris and nests. If you see some dirt buildup, a thorough washing with a hose will likely get rid of it. Throughout the summer months, wasps and hornets often prefer building their nests in soffit; be on the lookout and call a professional to remove these unwelcome visitors.
• Watch For Mold: Mold and mildew can be detrimental to the structural integrity of your home as well as your health. If you spot mold on your soffit, use a soft-bristled brush and a bleach-water solution to clean it off. 
• Replace Missing Boards: Missing boards are not only eyesores; they can be inviting openings for animals and pests. If you see sections of your soffit are damaged or missing, Superior Products Exteriors will help repair them. If your soffit was improperly installed the first time around, gaps and openings may pose a problem.
