Fascia, Soffit & Rain Gutters Installation in Utah

Clogged gutters are a major cause of soffit and fascia board damage. Clean gutters prevent overflow, protecting the roofline. Other causes of damage include wear and tear, wildlife, and weather. Overflowing water can lead to the degradation of trim boards and potential water damage inside the attic during storms.

• Peeling, flaking paint indicates water damage to trim boards, especially wooden ones.
• Discoloration on boards or siding may be caused by water issues from rain gutters.
• Increased energy costs can result from compromised soffits, leading to poor ventilation.
• Presence of bird, rodent, or insect nests near the roofline requires immediate removal to prevent damage and entry into the house.

• Keep gutters clean and in good condition.
• Spot clean mold or mildew on trim.
• Install drip edge boards to direct rainwater.
• Clear soffit vents every few years with compressed air.

Vinyl and aluminum are popular materials for soffit and fascia.

• Vinyl is low maintenance with various colors.
• Aluminum offers durability and aesthetics.

Dry rot, which is caused by fungus eating away at your soffit and fascia, is another problem.

Critters can also pose a threat, particularly when the soffit and fascia are not installed correctly. Birds and rodents can enter through the attic and make a home that compromises your soffit and fascia. The risk for this is especially high when your soffit and fascia have not been been installed and spaced properly.

Unfortunately, your home works as an entire system. For example, rotting fascia boards won’t be able to sustain the gutter fasteners. The gutters can sag and detach, allowing rain to pool around your home’s foundation.

For the best results, have an experienced contractor install soffit and fascia made of the highest quality materials. This can minimize vulnerabilities and maximize the life of your entire roofing system.

Consider upgrading your soffit and fascia for energy efficiency due to reasons like age, deterioration, or style change. Signs it’s time for replacement include visible damage, water leaks, peeling paint, discoloration, pests, or poor roof ventilation.

• Rain gutters protect your home’s foundation. When water sits up against the foundation, it can cause cracking, which can lead to foundation failure over time.
• Without rain gutters, your home – especially the basement – would flood a lot. Rain gutters divert water away from your home.
• Rain gutters prevent mold and mildew growth on the roof and siding by moving water away from the home.
• Rain gutters eliminate the issue of water causing soil erosion in your landscaping, keeping your walkways even and your front yard looking tidy.

Rain gutters are all about directing water away from your roof and foundation, and seamless rain gutters offer a superior solution. Here’s why people choose seamless:

• Traditional gutters are prone to leaks due to their many joints and seams that become weak spots over time. Without those weak points, seamless rain gutters have significantly fewer leaks.
• Because seamless gutters lack joints, they can last for decades longer than their traditional counterparts, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
• The continuous design of seamless rain gutters allows water to flow more smoothly, minimizing the chance of clogs and overflows.
• With fewer seams, seamless gutters have fewer places for debris to build up, resulting in simpler upkeep.
