What the pieces do

Soffit is the underside of the eave. Vented soffit lets air into the attic; solid soffit closes the underside where no vent is wanted. Fascia is the board along the rafter ends that the gutters hang on, often wrapped in aluminum or replaced with a composite board.Trim covers the edges: corner posts, window and door casings, the frieze board under the eave and the starter at the base. When siding is replaced, the trim usually is too, so the new courses have clean edges to die into.

Rotted fascia and soft rafter tails often turn up when old siding and gutters come off. Those are carpentry repairs to make before new soffit and fascia go on.

Questions

Soffit, fascia and trim with siding: common questions

Should soffit and fascia be replaced with the siding?

Often, because they age at the same rate and new siding looks unfinished against tired trim. Where they are sound, they can be kept and painted.

Siding cracked, loose or worn out?
