Soffit and fascia repair on Atlanta homes

We take the gutter down along the damaged run, probe the fascia to find where sound wood starts, and cut back past the rot instead of just the visible part. New boards go up in primed lumber or a rot-resistant composite, joined over rafter tails so the joints stay tight, then the gutter is rehung on hidden hangers into solid wood. If the rafter tails themselves are soft, we sister or repair them first, because a new board nailed to rotten tails will not hold a gutter.

Soffits close off the underside of the eaves and, when vented, supply the fresh air an attic needs. Wood soffits rot where water gets past the fascia, while vinyl and aluminum panels crack, sag or pull out of their channels. We replace damaged sections to match, repair the nailers they hang from, and keep or add vented panels so intake airflow is not blocked. Openings are closed properly and screened where needed, since a gap in the soffit invites birds, squirrels and wasps.

Once the wood behind it is sound, fascia can be wrapped in bent aluminum coil so the board never needs paint again. We form the wrap on site to the exact profile of your fascia, tuck it under the drip edge, and fasten it with color-matched trim nails. Wrapping never goes over rot; that traps moisture and hides the problem until the gutter falls. It suits homes where repainting two-story eaves every few years is the real cost, and the coil comes in colors to match trim or gutters.
