Fascia & Soffit
Protective trim with purpose and polish.
Fascia and soffit may not be the first things you notice on a home—but they play a vital role in both function and appearance. These horizontal trim elements seal roof edges, support gutters, and ventilate your attic space, all while giving your exterior a crisp, finished look.
Soffit
Soffits are the horizontal surfaces beneath your roof’s overhang—often found under eaves, porch ceilings, and cantilevers. While they add visual polish to your exterior, their real power lies in ventilation. When paired with ridge vents or other exhaust systems, soffit vents allow fresh air to enter your attic or roof cavity, creating a continuous flow that regulates temperature and moisture.
The Role of Soffit Ventilation
-
Air Intake: Soffit vents act as the intake side of your roof’s ventilation system, drawing cooler air into the attic.
-
Moisture Control: Without proper airflow, warm moist air can get trapped, leading to condensation, mold growth, and even rot in rafters and sheathing.
-
Temperature Regulation: Ventilation helps prevent heat buildup in summer and ice dams in winter, protecting both your roof and energy bills.
-
Extended Roof Life: A well-ventilated attic reduces stress on shingles and underlayment, extending the lifespan of your roofing system.
Soffit isn’t just for eaves. Its clean profile, durable finish, and optional ventilation make it a smart choice for finishing ceilings, vertical walls, and exposed framing in sunrooms, patios, and porch spaces. Whether you're wrapping a cantilever, covering a porch ceiling, or adding polish to a sunroom, soffit panels offer a low-maintenance solution that looks sharp and performs well.
We install soffit in a range of durable, low-maintenance materials—including vinyl, steel, aluminum, composite, and even traditional wood when the design calls for it. Many of these materials are built to last a lifetime with minimal upkeep, and they come in a vast array of colors and profiles to match or accent your home’s architecture.
Whether you’re aiming for subtle cohesion or bold contrast, we’ll help you choose a finish that meets your vision and performs beautifully in exposed conditions.
Fascia
Fascia is the horizontal trim that runs along your roof’s edge, supporting gutters and framing your exterior. It’s a critical part of your home’s defense against moisture and pests—but it’s also a defining architectural detail, especially on older homes.
At Hitchcraft, we approach fascia with care and precision, balancing preservation with performance. Whether we’re wrapping existing boards or replicating historic profiles, our goal is to protect your home while honoring its design.
Coil-Wrapped Fascia
For most homes, we wrap fascia in custom-bent aluminum coil stock. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of colors to match or accent your trim. While coil doesn’t follow tight curves or intricate profiles perfectly, we can get remarkably close—especially with thoughtful bending and placement.
Ideal for:
-
Clean, modern rooflines
-
Color-matched or accent fascia
-
Moderate architectural detail
Composite Rebuild
We offer premium rebuilds using composite or cellular PVC materials. These products can be milled to match historic moldings—like crowns, dentil trim, or layered cornices—and retain their shape over time.
Ideal for:
-
Restoring charm on historic homes or high-detail exteriors
-
They preserve intricate profiles that coil stock can’t replicate
Blending Old & New
Today’s trim market offers solutions that bridge the gap between tradition and technology. From composite crowns to dentil molding, we can restore the character of older homes using materials that resist rot, warping, and peeling—without sacrificing detail.
Whether you're updating a farmhouse, preserving a Victorian, or refining a transitional build, fascia is more than a board—it’s a statement. We’ll help you make it with care.
