Soffit Repair by Advance Construction Pros in Kansas City, KS

Advance Construction Pros repairs rotted, sagging and storm damaged soffit on homes across Kansas City, Kansas.

Call (913) 725-8790

The soffit is the underside of your roof overhang

Stand under the edge of your roof and look up. The flat surface between the wall and the roof edge is the soffit. It closes off the overhang so birds, bees and squirrels stay out of the attic. Most soffit also has vents that let the attic breathe.

Soffit usually fails from the top down. Water gets past an overflowing gutter or a bad roof edge, soaks the soffit board and turns it soft. Once it sags or opens up, animals find the gap.

What we repair

  • Rotted soffit board: we cut out the soft wood and put in sound board
  • Sagging or loose panels: we fasten them back or replace them
  • Blocked or missing vents: we keep the attic venting clear so heat and moisture can get out
  • Animal holes: we close the opening once the board is fixed
  • Capping: we cap the new soffit so it does not need painting again

Why soffit vents matter in Kansas City

An attic that cannot breathe holds summer heat and winter moisture. In January, warm, damp air from the house meets cold roof boards, and that moisture can turn to frost under the roof. Blocked soffit vents make it worse.

Wind is the other problem. NOAA’s storm record shows June and July are the busiest months for damaging wind reports in Wyandotte County. A loose soffit panel is easy for a summer storm to rip off.

Soffit, fascia and gutters work as one. The fascia board holds the gutter, and the soffit sits right behind it. If one is rotting, we check the other two. See fascia and window wrap and gutter repair.

Common questions about soffit repair in Kansas City

What is the soffit on a house?

It is the flat board under the edge of your roof overhang, between the wall and the roof edge. It closes off the overhang and usually has vents for the attic.

Why is my soffit rotting?

Water is getting to it from above, most often from a gutter that overflows or a roof edge that leaks. We fix the cause too, or the new board will rot the same way.

Can animals get in through the soffit?

Yes. Once a soffit board sags or opens up, birds, squirrels and bees find the gap. We repair the board and close the opening.

Do soffit vents really matter?

Yes. They let the attic breathe. Blocked vents trap summer heat and winter moisture under the roof. We keep the venting clear when we repair the soffit.

Will I have to paint the new soffit?

No. We cap it so it does not need painting again.
