Your roof is one of the most essential parts of your home. When its condition deteriorates, it affects many other things, from the temperature inside to your home’s curb appeal. If you're in need of a fascia or soffit systems repair — or even a complete installation — call on Nate's Clean and Screen Gutter Service. Serving La Crosse, Holmen, and the surrounding areas since 1986, the company also delivers high-quality gutter maintenance services.

When dealing with a faulty roof, attention is first given to the fascia and the soffit. These critical components are part of the roof's overall functionality, and if either one is impaired, the entire roofing system is impacted. Professionals will determine if a soffit repair or fascia replacement is needed.

Running along the roof's lower edge, the fascia is a lean board affixed to the trusses of the roof. It supports the rain gutter and is generally constructed of wood, aluminum, or vinyl in more modern designs. Beneath the fascia is the soffit, concealing the attic's ventilation space while also preventing pests and critters from entering the home. Soffits may suffer water damage if gutters overflow or if moisture rots the fascia first before continuing to the soffit area.

When the fascia and soffits are damaged, paint may appear worn or show signs of peeling or bubbling. Other signs include rotting wood, which can cause extensive damage if left undetected. When repairing the fascia and soffit systems, professionals also focus on the drip edge. This element of the roofing system is critical to its overall function. Its job is to aim water into the gutter and away from the soffit and fascia. A functioning drip edge prevents the area from getting drenched and subsequently suffering water damage.

If you're dealing with this issue, your home may also be at risk for damage. The interior drywall may begin to decay, as well as the insulation and framing. This moisture may even lead to termite infestations, which can cause further costly damage.

Luckily, Nate's Clean and Screen Gutter Service can help. They'll inspect the gutter and downspouts, clean them as needed, and perform any necessary gutter projects. If a soffit repair is necessary, the company will provide this service. When it comes to a new gutter installation, Nate's Clean and Screen Gutter Service will manage the entire project from start to finish.
