Soffit & Fascia Repair in Clarksville, TN

We have been repairing so t and fascia in Clarksville since 2003. Rotted wood. Peeling paint.

Animal holes. Squirrels are a big problem in neighborhoods near the Red River. We fix it all. We

also wrap the wood with aluminum so it never rots again.

Here is what we see all the time. A homeowner notices that their gutters are sagging. They call

a gutter company. The gutter company says the fascia is rotted. They do not do fascia repair.

So the homeowner calls a handyman. The handyman nails the gutters back up without

replacing the rot. Six months later, the gutters sag again. The rot has spread. Now it is a $1,500

repair instead of a $500 repair.

We do it right. Replace the rotted wood. Wrap it with aluminum. Rehang the gutters. Done. You

never have to worry about that section again.

Why So t and Fascia Matter for Clarksville Homes

Let us explain the function. The so t is the underside of the roof overhang. It has small holes

or continuous vents that allow air to ow into your attic. That air ow cools the attic in summer

(reducing your AC bill) and prevents ice dams in winter by keeping the roof deck cold. If the

so t is rotted, blocked, or missing, your attic ventilation fails. Your shingles age faster. Your

energy bills go up.

The fascia is the vertical board that runs along the edge of the roof. It holds your gutters. If the

fascia rots, the gutters pull away. Water pours down next to your foundation. That causes

basement leaks, foundation cracks, and erosion. In Clarksville's clay soil, foundation problems

are expensive. A $500 fascia repair can prevent a $10,000 foundation repair.

Clarksville's humidity and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate rot. Water gets behind the gutters. It

soaks into the fascia. The wood stays wet. Fungi grow. Within a few years, the fascia is soft

and crumbly. We see this constantly on homes o Tiny Town Road built in the 1990s. The

original fascia was never painted or sealed properly.

Animals also cause damage. Squirrels love to chew through rotted so t to get into attics. Once

inside, they chew wires and insulation. We have removed squirrels from attics in the historic

district near downtown. The x is to replace the rotted wood and install wire mesh.

Fort Campbell families, base housing has so t and fascia issues on older homes. The housing

office has a maintenance schedule. O post, you are responsible. We can help.

How We Repair So t and Fascia (Step by Step)

We do not just patch over rot. Here is our process.

1. Free inspection. We walk your roo ine. We press on the fascia with a screwdriver. If it

sinks in, it is rotten. We look for peeling paint, sagging gutters, and holes in the so t. We also

check your attic from the inside to see if any light is coming through the so t vents.

1. Estimate and approval. We give you a written estimate. Cost is per linear foot. We also

include gutter removal and reattachment.

1. Gutter removal. We carefully remove the gutters from the a ected sections. We save the

gutters if they are in good condition. We replace them if they are damaged.

1. Rotted wood removal. We cut out the rotted fascia and so t. We cut back to solid wood.

We dispose of the debris.

1. New wood installation. We install new pressure-treated plywood or board for fascia. For

so t, we use perforated hardboard or vinyl. Pressure-treated wood resists rot.

1. Aluminum or vinyl wrapping (recommended). We wrap the new fascia with aluminum coil

stock. We match your home's trim color. Aluminum does not rot. It does not need painting. For

so t, we install vinyl panels with vents. This is a permanent solution. Cost is $8 to $12 per

linear foot.

1. So t vent installation. If your so t was solid (no vents), we cut in continuous so t vents

or round vents. This improves attic ventilation. Code requires 1 square foot of vent for every

300 square feet of attic floor space. We calculate what you need.

1. Gutter reattachment. We rehang the gutters with new hidden hangers every 24 inches.

We pitch the gutter correctly (quarter inch per 10 feet toward the downspout). We test with a

hose.

1. Cleanup. We remove all old wood debris. We magnet for nails. We sweep your driveway.
2. Final walkthrough. We show you the new fascia and so t. We explain the ventilation

improvements. We give you a 5-year warranty on the wrapping.

Why Hire a Local Clarksville Roofer for So t and Fascia?

We are roofers, not handymen. We understand how so t and fascia integrate with your roof

system. The so t vents must not be blocked by insulation. We check that from the attic side. A

handyman would not go in your attic. We do.

We also know the local building code. Montgomery County requires continuous so t

ventilation for certain roof pitches. We follow the code. We pull permits if required (full fascia

replacement may need a permit; minor repairs do not).

Storm chasers do not do so t and fascia work. It is too detailed. They want quick shingle jobs.

We do the detailed work because we care about the whole roof system.

For Fort Campbell families, we offer free estimates for so t and fascia repair. We also work

with the base housing office for on-post work.
