The Roof Soffit: Everything You Need to Know About It

June 25, 2020 by Bryan Cantrell

When it comes to your home’s residential roofing system, most homeowners tend to only pay attention to the roof deck or the shingles. What some don’t realize, however, is that the roof is also made up of other components. One of these components is the soffit. But what exactly is the roof soffit?

Here’s everything you need to know about the roof soffit.

What is the Roof Soffit and Why is It Important?

The roof soffit is a component of your home that helps boost its aesthetic appeal and ventilation at the same time. According to experts, it comes in a wide range of colors and materials that can instantly add character to your property when installed properly. Apart from that, it can also cover up your rafters to prevent it from being in plain view and protect it from weather exposure at the same time.

In addition to protecting your rafters and increasing your home’s curb appeal, the roof soffit also improves your home’s ventilation. This is because the soffit helps your building breathe, especially if you install a vented soffit. If you have roof maintenance pros install a vented soffit on your property, air can easily flow through its vents and provide proper air circulation for your attic, preventing moisture and heat from becoming trapped and damaging your roof. It also prevents insects from nesting in your attic.

Types of Soffit

When you’re installing a new soffit in your home, you can consider a wide range of options when it comes to materials. While soffits can be made of materials such as wood, steel and fiber cement, the most popular soffit material that is often seen in homes are aluminum and vinyl. This is because aluminum is durable, water-resistant and easy to maintain. Vinyl, on the other hand, is an affordable material that can insulate your home and remain durable and easy to maintain at the same time, further cementing its popularity.

Work completed on time and the quality was good. The only negative was pieces of the old roof showing up for months in my flower beds and they dropped some materials that broke some tiles in my patio furniture. Would recommend them.
