The Soffit is part of the overhang where your roof meets your siding. ... The Fascia is the attractive board along the side of the overhang and the roof that helps your roof appear finished. Your gutter sits atop the facia board. The fascia is also known as a “transition trim” between the home and the roofline.
Many times, storms create problems with a home’s exterior. Heavy winds can cause rain to blow up under the eaves of the home. The soffit performs an essential task in these situations by keeping the rain from getting to the rafters and roof boards. Damaged or poorly maintained soffit can allow water to collect in these areas and lead to more expensive repairs as the water further damages the home. In order to install gutters to a home, the soffit and fascia need to be in good working order.
