Fascia & Soffit Installation

Complete your maintenance-free exterior — and keep your attic ventilation working

Fascia and soffit are the two trim systems along the edge of your roof — and they do far more than finish the look. Soffit panels (the horizontal surface under the roof overhang) provide the intake vent path that feeds your attic ventilation system. Fascia boards (the vertical trim at the roof edge) protect the rafter tails from weather and provide the mounting surface for your gutters. When either component fails, the roof edge starts rotting, attic ventilation loses balance, and gutters detach.

Dynasty Restoration installs and replaces fascia and soffit systems throughout Chicagoland. Fascia is typically wrapped in aluminum coil stock (eliminating paint maintenance), and soffit is installed in vented aluminum or vinyl panels to meet the net-free-area requirements of a balanced attic ventilation system.

What We Install

Aluminum-Wrapped Fascia

Existing wood fascia is wrapped in custom-bent aluminum coil stock, eliminating the need for periodic paint and matching your gutter color.

New Fascia Installation

Where existing fascia is rotted, we replace the wood substrate and wrap it in aluminum in a single visit.

Vented Soffit Panels

Aluminum or vinyl soffit with integrated ventilation — sized to your attic's net-free-area requirement.

Solid Soffit Panels

Where soffit ventilation is provided by rafter vents or other intake pathways, we install solid panels to match.

Frieze Board & Trim

Corner, trim, and frieze board detailing to complete the roofline transition from siding to soffit.

Gutter Reinstall & Coordination

Fascia work and gutter work done together, in the correct order, so the roof edge is sealed as a system.

Signs Your Fascia or Soffit Needs Work

  • Paint peeling or flaking on fascia and soffit panels — often a sign of moisture under the paint film
  • Soft or spongy fascia boards when pressed — active rot
  • Daylight visible through soffit panels — gap allowing animal entry or creating ventilation imbalance
  • Missing or damaged soffit vents — your attic is getting less intake than it needs
  • Gutters pulling away from the fascia — rotted fascia no longer holds fasteners
  • Animal activity at the roof edge (birds, squirrels, bats) — compromised soffit creates entry points
  • Staining on the soffit underside — indicates ice dam or gutter overflow damage

Frequently Asked Questions About Fascia & Soffit

Do I need to replace fascia when I replace my roof?
Not always. If the fascia is sound and already aluminum-wrapped, it can stay. If there's rot, paint failure, or the gutters need replacement at the same time, doing fascia and soffit during the roof project is the most efficient approach.
Vinyl or aluminum soffit — which is better?
Both are maintenance-free and both last decades. Aluminum is stronger and handles impact better; vinyl is slightly less expensive and has a wider color palette. For most homes, either is a great choice.
Will new soffit vents fix my ice dam problem?
Adding correctly sized vented soffit is one of three pieces needed to fix ice dams — the others are adequate attic insulation and sealing of attic bypasses. Soffit alone helps, but the permanent fix usually needs all three.
