Gutters, fascias, and soffits are essential components of your home's roofline, working together to protect your property from weather damage and enhance its appearance. Gutters are channels that collect and direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, preventing leaks and erosion. Fascias are the horizontal boards that run along the roof's edge, supporting the gutters and providing a neat, finished look to the roofline. Soffits, located underneath the roof overhang, help ventilate the attic and protect the rafters from moisture, ensuring your roof stays dry and well-ventilated. Together, these elements keep your home structurally sound and looking its best.
Here's a list of frequently asked questions we receive from our customers.

Yes, you can replace your gutters, fascias, and soffits without needing a full roof replacement, although it's a good opportunity to inspect both areas.
Signs include leaking gutters, rotting wood, peeling paint, or sagging gutters. Regular maintenance can help extend their lifespan, but a professional inspection is the best way to know for sure.
