About soffit and fascia installation in Wilkes-Barre
Soffit and fascia close off the underside and edge of the roof overhang. Beyond appearance, they keep pests out of the attic, support gutters, and — with vented soffit — provide intake airflow for the ventilation system.
Properties in Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County can differ in age, roof shape, materials, exposure, and local requirements. An on-site assessment is the reliable way to determine the right scope for a specific property.
What this work generally involves

Local project considerations

- Aluminum and vinyl options reduce future painting and rot risk.
- Vented soffit area should match the attic's ventilation plan.
