There is a lot that goes into ensuring a healthy home exterior that can stand the test of time as well as Minnesota’s weather. In addition to the roof and siding, soffit and fascia also play a critical role in giving a home a finished look. Soffit is the underside of the roof overhang. Fascia is the band that runs right along the bottom of the roof. With professionally installed soffit and fascia, you can enjoy beautiful, virtually maintenance-free overhangs and eaves for years to come.

Fascia is often included with a new roof installation, and soffit is often included when new siding is installed. These architectural elements found along the eaves of your house do more than just give a finished look and visual appeal, they are also important for the function of your home.
