At Rocky Ridge Handyman, we understand that the small details on a home’s exterior often make the biggest difference. One of the most overlooked areas is the soffit and fascia — the boards located just under the edge of the roof and behind the gutters. When these sections become damaged, they not only hurt your home’s curb appeal but can also lead to water damage, pest problems, and structural issues.

Recently, our team was called to a home in Denver, Colorado where the soffit and fascia boards were showing serious signs of wear and damage. The homeowner noticed peeling paint, rotted wood, and soft spots around the roof edges. They wanted the problem fixed quickly before the next storm season.

What Are Soffits and Fascia, and Why Do They Matter?

• Soffit: The underside of the roof overhang. It helps ventilate the attic, preventing moisture buildup and extending the life of your roof.

• Fascia: The vertical board behind the gutters. It provides a clean edge to the roofline and supports the gutters to keep water flowing away from the home.

When these parts become damaged, the consequences can include:

• Water damage inside walls or ceilings.

• Pest infestations (birds, squirrels, insects).

• Poor attic ventilation, leading to mold or higher energy bills.

• Sagging gutters and compromised roof edges.

The Problem: Rotted Fascia and Damaged Soffits

During our inspection of this Denver property, we found:

• Rotten fascia boards in multiple corners, with wood exposed and softened.

• Peeling paint and patchwork attempts that didn’t hold up against Colorado’s weather.

• Water damage around the gutter connection points.

• Areas where pests could easily get inside if not repaired quickly.

The homeowner needed more than just cosmetic fixes — they needed a reliable repair to protect their investment.

The Rocky Ridge Handyman Solution

Our approach focused on repairing and reinforcing the exterior for long-term durability:

1. Removing Damaged Sections
   We carefully removed rotted fascia boards and damaged soffit panels. This prevented hidden damage from spreading further.

2. Replacing and Securing New Boards
   New, high-quality lumber was cut, fitted, and secured to replace the damaged sections. We made sure the boards aligned cleanly with the existing roofline and siding.

3. Sealing and Weatherproofing
   All seams were caulked, sealed, and prepped for paint to withstand Colorado’s tough weather conditions.

4. Final Inspection
   We checked gutter alignment and ventilation openings to ensure proper functionality before finishing the job.

The Results: A Stronger, Safer Home

By the end of the project, the homeowner had a refreshed roofline with solid fascia and soffits that:

• Supported the gutters properly.

• Improved the home’s appearance.

• Prevented pests and moisture from entering.

• Extended the lifespan of the roof and attic ventilation system.

The homeowner was relieved to know their home was now better protected against storms, snow, and pests.
