What Our Soffit and Fascia Repair Covers
Every job starts with an inspection and a written scope. From there, we handle the wood, the trim, the vents, and the gutter attachment.
Work order
Roof Soffit and Fascia Repair- Fascia Board Replacement: We remove rotted fascia, cut new primed boards to length, and fasten them into solid rafter tails with a roofing nail gun. Joints are caulked and sanded before paint.
- Soffit Panel Repair: Loose or cracked panels come down and new ones go up square. We match the profile and color, whether it is vinyl, aluminum, or wood, and fasten it so wind cannot get under the edge.
- Soffit Vent Installation: If your attic needs more intake air, we cut in vented soffit panels sized to the bay. That balances the airflow and helps prevent the ice dams that rot fascia in the first place.
- Gutter Reattachment: We rehang the gutter with new hangers and set the pitch so water runs to the downspout. If a section is bent beyond use, we can replace it while we are on the ladder.
- Sealing and Flashing: We seal the joint where the roof edge meets the fascia and add ice and water shield where it is missing. That is the detail that keeps meltwater out of your wall.
- Paint and Cleanup: New wood gets a coat of exterior paint matched to the existing trim. The crew magnets the yard for nails, blows off the walk, and hauls away all debris.

Roof Soffit and Fascia Repair Wilkes-Barre PA
A roof edge is only as good as the wood behind it. We test the boards, replace what is soft, and seal the edge so water goes into the gutter, not your wall.
Roof Soffit and Fascia Repair Wilkes-Barre PA is the trade of replacing or reinforcing the two trim components that finish your roof edge. The fascia is the vertical board nailed to the rafter tails; the soffit is the horizontal panel underneath that closes the gap between wall and roofline. Together they hold gutters, vent attic air, and block squirrels, wasps, and rain. When the fascia rots through, gutters sag and water runs behind the siding. When soffit panels pull loose, birds and pests move in.
In Wilkes-Barre, that damage shows up fast. Ice dams form along the eaves after a hard freeze, then meltwater backs under the shingles and soaks the fascia from the inside out. Wind off the river rips soffit panels free on exposed corners in South Wilkes-Barre. If you search for soffit and fascia repair near me Wilkes-Barre PA after a storm, you are usually looking at soft wood, missing shingles above the edge, and a gutter hanging by one spike. We see it every winter.

How Soffit and Fascia Repair Runs in Wilkes-Barre
Wilkes-Barre sits in a river valley where winter freeze-thaw cycles are hard on roof edges. Ice dams form along the eave, then meltwater backs under the shingles and soaks the fascia from the inside. Add wind off the Susquehanna and you get soffit panels torn loose on exposed corners.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre
Many pre-1900 buildings with deep wood eaves. We use lead-safe practices and match the original trim profile.
South Wilkes-Barre
Exposed corners catch river wind. Soffit panels here need extra fasteners and screening.
Parsons
Older doubles with narrow eaves. Ice dams are common, so we add ice and water shield on every repair.

Roofline Problems We Fix in Wilkes-Barre
Most calls start with one of these four symptoms. Each one gets worse with every storm, so we treat them as urgent.
Soft, crumbling fascia board along the eave
Gutters pull loose, water runs behind the siding, and the rafter tails start to rot.
Soffit panels hanging down or missing
Birds, squirrels, and wasps get into the attic. Rain blows straight up behind the panel and soaks the insulation.
Water stains on the attic ceiling near the edge
That stain means water is already past the fascia and into the deck.
Ice dams forming at the gutter every winter
Ice dams force meltwater under the shingles and into the fascia.
Why Fix Soffit and Fascia Now
A small roofline repair today prevents a five-figure wall and attic repair tomorrow. Here is what a proper fix actually buys you.
Stops Hidden Water Damage
Water that gets behind a rotted fascia board travels down inside the wall cavity.
Keeps Pests Out
A gap the width of a pencil is enough for wasps, squirrels, and starlings.
Holds Gutters Where They Belong
Gutters hang from the fascia. Once that board softens, spikes pull free and the whole run sags away from the roof edge.
Protects Attic Ventilation
Soffit vents feed the intake side of your attic airflow.

What Neighbors Say
After the January ice dams, my fascia was soft for about 20 feet and the gutter hung off the house. The crew came out the next morning, showed me photos of the rot, and gave me a price on the spot. They replaced the boards, rehung the gutter, and painted it to match. You cannot tell where the old trim ended.
Squirrels had pulled the soffit loose above my porch. I called three places and only this one picked up. They screened the vents, replaced four panels, and sealed the gap. No more scratching at night, and the price matched the estimate exactly.
I manage a duplex and needed soffit and fascia repair fast between tenants. They inspected on a Tuesday, repaired on Thursday, and sent photos of the finished edge. The new fascia is straight, the vents line up, and the gutters flow to the downspouts. I have them on speed dial now.
