The soffit is the visible section under the overhanging part of your roof and plays a key role in protecting your home. Without a soffit your rafters would be exposed leaving them vulnerable to weather damage, rot, and pests, which can compromise your roof’s strength and longevity. A properly installed soffit also improves airflow and ventilation in your roof space, helping to regulate temperature, reduce dampness, and prevent the growth of mold or mildew. Investing in quality soffit work ensures your roof remains strong, your home stays comfortable, and you avoid costly repairs in the future.
