Some of the roof’s key elements that are often neglected are the eavestrough, soffit and fascia. If you get a new roof estimate from us, Nomad Roofing can take the time explain how to keep them in good shape. To get started, here’s a brief breakdown of their functions:

Soffit

Soffit refers to the underside of your roof that conceals the rafter beams. Contrary to what some people think, it does more than just finish the look of your exterior. It protects your roof as well by keeping water, debris and pests out. Additionally, it comes with small holes to ventilate your roof.

Eavestrough

A well-maintained eavestrough is essential in preserving your home’s structural integrity. It’s responsible for driving rainwater and snowmelt away from your roof, foundation and other vulnerable areas of your exterior. By keeping your home dry and safe, it spares you from the ill effects of excessive moisture, including rot, mold growth and soil erosion. As soon as you notice leaks, cracks and other problems, have an expert like us perform a prompt eavestrough repair.

Fascia

Fascia is a long piece of board that connects to the ends of the rafters and trusses. Apart from holding the gutters in place, it also keeps water from entering your roof and causing damage. Furthermore, it creates a smooth appearance along the roof’s edge, which adds to curb appeal.

Keeping these components in great shape is crucial to avoiding water damage and increased energy bills. When they’re past their prime, however, turn to Nomad Roofing right away for flawless eavestrough, fascia and soffit installations.
