3 Things to Look For When Choosing Your Soffit and Fascia

As the years go by, we’re continuously looking for ways to not only improve the looks of our homes but also to protect it further from the elements. Every exterior — and sometimes interior — element contributes to your home’s overall protection. 

Your home’s soffit and fascia play a crucial role in ensuring your home’s protection and energy efficiency. As an expert in roof, siding, window and door replacement, Polk Contracting, Inc. discusses what you should consider when you have to install your soffit or fascia.

Here’s the short list of things you should think about:

  1. Material – One of the things to look for when it comes to picking your home’s soffit and fascia is the material used to manufacture the siding in the first place. Most of the time, the material can be recommended by either the manufacturer or the siding contractors so this might just be the easiest part.

  1. Custom Choices – Not all houses are built alike and some actually give the owner no other option but to customize some of their parts. This is one thing to consider when you talk to your contractor about installing your new soffit or fascia or both.

  1. Color and Style – When looking for your new soffit and fascia and doing some research on what color will work best, you should also look at the colors that will complement your siding and roof. While white is the typical color of the soffit and fascia, you can choose from a variety of other colors, as well. Sometimes, you have to mix different paints to come up with the color you want. Some styles mimic the grain of wood or give your home a more distinguishable profile.
