Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Replace sagging, stained, or critter-chewed soffit to restore both eave appearance and healthy attic airflow.
Old soffit that droops or shows water stains is usually a sign of a past roof leak or blocked ventilation trapping moisture overhead. We remove the failed panels, correct whatever let the damage in, and install fresh vented soffit that breathes properly again. In wooded neighborhoods around Olympia and Kirkland, we routinely close up the gnaw holes rodents left in rotted plywood soffit. The new material resists our humidity and won't flake or delaminate the way tired wood panels do.
Reopens proper attic intake choked by damaged panels; removes water-stained, sagging eave sections; closes entry points animals exploited; upgrades to moisture-stable, longer-lasting materials
1) Take down deteriorated soffit and inspect the overhang cavity; 2) Address any leak source, rot, or pest damage found inside; 3) Install new vented panels with correct net-free area; 4) Seal, trim, and verify unobstructed airflow to the attic
Linear run of soffit needing replacement; hidden rot or pest damage revealed during teardown; depth and style of the existing overhang; vent panel type and finish selected
Schedule during a dry spell so the overhang cavity can be inspected and dried before the new panels enclose it.
