Soffit and fascia are the trim boards under and along the edge of your roof. Fascia holds the gutters, and soffit closes the underside of the overhang while letting air into the attic. On many central Ohio homes the original wood has rotted behind overflowing gutters, ice has worked into the edges, or birds and squirrels have found a way in.
The usual fix is to repair or replace rotted wood, then cover it with vented vinyl soffit and formed fascia wrap so it no longer needs painting. It pairs naturally with new vinyl siding or gutter replacement, and on brick homes where the walls do not need siding, it is often the main exterior upgrade.

This is a good fit for homes with peeling or rotting wood trim along the roof, gutters pulling away from the fascia, pests nesting in the eaves, or poor attic ventilation. It is also a common project on brick homes and in neighborhoods where full vinyl siding is not allowed but trim updates are.
Every project is quoted on its own details. These are the things that move the number most, and we walk through each one with you on the estimate.
The total length of eaves and rakes sets the amount of material and labor.
Rotted fascia boards or rafter tails must be replaced before they are covered.
Deep overhangs and second-story eaves take more material and staging.
Gutters usually come down and go back up, or are replaced at the same time.
Adding vented soffit where there was none may involve opening blocked areas behind it.

Covering rotten wood with vinyl only hides the problem, so the damaged boards should be replaced and the water source fixed first.
Most homes with attic ventilation at the ridge or roof vents rely on soffit vents to bring in fresh air from below. Without that intake, attics can run hot in summer and trap moisture in winter. Vented vinyl soffit is the usual choice, with solid panels used where venting is not needed.
Yes. Many homeowners update soffit and fascia on their own, especially on brick homes or when the siding is still in good shape. Colors can be chosen to match existing trim or gutters. If you plan to re-side later, it is worth talking through colors now so everything works together.
Animals usually get in through gaps where soffit meets the wall, damaged vent panels, or rotted corners. Replacing those areas and closing the gaps stops most entry. If animals are living in the attic, have them removed first so they are not sealed inside.
