Fascia and soffit in Whiteville, NCSolid board. Gutter holds.
The fascia is the board your gutter hangs on. When it goes soft, we replace it so the gutter has something solid.
The gutter is only as good as its board
The fascia is the board along the edge of the roof. Your gutter hangs on it, and the screws bite into it.
The soffit is the underside of the eave, the panel you see when you look up at the overhang. It is often vented to let the attic breathe.
When a gutter overflows, the water soaks the fascia. Over time the board goes soft. A soft board will not hold a gutter, however well it is hung.
Signs your fascia or soffit is failing
Soft or crumbling board
Press on the fascia. If it gives, flakes or crumbles, the wood has taken on water.
Peeling paint at the eave
Paint that bubbles and peels along the edge often means moisture is working behind it.
Gutter screws that will not hold
Screws that spin loose or pull out show the board has nothing left to grip.
Sagging or stained soffit
A panel that droops or shows dark stains points to water getting into the eave.
Critters in the eave
Birds, squirrels and wasps look for gaps, and damaged soffit gives them a way in.

Why eaves take a beating in Columbus County
Summer thunderstorms dump a lot of rain fast, and hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. A gutter that cannot keep up lets water spill straight onto the fascia.
Pines and hardwoods around Whiteville drop needles, leaves and sweetgum balls into the gutter. A clogged run holds water against the board, and that is how rot starts.

Fascia & Soffit questions.
Why replace the fascia before new gutters?
New gutters need a solid board to hang on. Hanging them on rot just moves the problem down the road.
What is the soffit for?
It closes the underside of the eave. Many soffits are vented, which lets air move through the attic.
How do I know if my fascia is rotted?
Soft spots, crumbling wood, peeling paint and loose gutter screws are the usual signs. Send us a photo.
