Your fascia holds up your gutters, and your soffits let your attic breathe and keep critters out. In Florida’s heat, humidity and rain, both take a beating. 5 Star Gutters repairs and replaces fascia and soffits across the Tampa Bay area and down to Sarasota, often in the same visit as your gutters.
Your fascia board runs along the roof edge and carries the weight of your gutters. When it starts to fail, the warning signs are usually easy to spot:
Cracks, holes, sagging or missing panels mean your soffits are no longer sealing the underside of your roof. Peeling paint or rot on wood soffits is another sign they need repair or replacement.
Damaged soffits let birds, squirrels, rats and insects into your attic. Water stains, mold or mildew under the eaves are signs that moisture is getting in too.
Gutters are only as strong as the wood they’re screwed into. Hanging new gutters on rotted fascia means they’ll sag again within a year or two. We inspect the fascia on every gutter job and fix it first.
Wood soffits typically last 20–30 years with good upkeep. Aluminum and vinyl soffits can last 30–50 years or more, and they don’t rot.
Yes. If the damage is limited, we replace only the bad sections and match the profile.
