What's the Difference Between Soffit and Fascia?
Soffit and fascia are two key components of your home’s roofing system that work together to protect and finish the roof’s edge—each serving a distinct purpose:
-
Soffit is the horizontal surface located beneath the roof overhang. It covers the underside of the eaves and provides essential ventilation to your attic, helping to regulate temperature and prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold or rot.
-
Fascia is the vertical board that runs along the edge of the roof, just behind the gutters. It provides a smooth, finished look and serves as a mounting point for gutters. Fascia also helps block water, insects, and debris from entering the roof and attic.
While they’re often overlooked, both soffit and fascia are vital for protecting your home from the elements and maintaining proper airflow in your roofing system.

Fascia
Soffit is the finished surface beneath your roof’s overhang. While subtle in appearance, it’s essential for attic and roof ventilation, helping regulate temperature and moisture while contributing to your home’s overall look.
Designed to complement siding, soffit comes in materials like wood, aluminum, vinyl, and even James Hardie Fiber Cement—each offering unique benefits in durability, maintenance, and style. The right choice not only protects your home but also keeps it visually cohesive and energy efficient.
Fascia works closely with your home's soffit to form a complete and functional roof edge. Located directly above the soffit, the fascia is the exposed board that runs along the front edge of your roof’s overhang. It serves an important structural role by supporting your gutters while also contributing to the overall appearance of your home. Because fascia is highly visible, keeping it in good condition is essential for maintaining strong curb appeal. Fascia is available in a variety of materials, including aluminum, wood, and vinyl—each offering different advantages in terms of durability, style, and maintenance.
