At Roof Repair Company, our own crew diagnoses and repairs eave damage for homeowners within 100 miles of Houston. ## Do Roofers Repair Soffit and Fascia Boards? Yes. Soffit and fascia connect directly to the roof deck, underlayment, and gutters, so a roofer should fix the leak before any new wood goes up. Replacing trim without fixing the roof edge just lets the new boards rot. A home's eave is made of four connected parts: - **Soffit:** the horizontal underside of the roof overhang. It encloses the rafters and lets air into the attic through intake vents. - **Fascia:** the vertical board on the ends of the rafters. Gutters hang from it and the drip edge ends over it. - **Drip edge:** the metal flashing along the edge of the roof deck that sends water into the gutter instead of behind it. - **Rafter tails:** the ends of the roof rafters that stick out past the walls to form the overhang. When water gets past the roof edge, all four parts rot together. A roofing contractor lifts the lowest shingles, replaces rotted decking, rebuilds damaged framing, and installs new trim with proper flashing. ### Will Roofers Replace Soffit and Rafter Tails or Just Shingles? Roof Repair Company repairs soffit, fascia, and rafter tails, not just shingles. Rafter tails hold up the fascia and gutters. When a rafter tail rots, the fascia sags, the gutter loses its slope, and moisture reaches the attic. We check the rafter tails on every eave repair. If rot reaches the rafter, we cut out the bad wood and sister new lumber alongside the sound framing. We never nail new trim over rotted wood. We work on these roof types: - Asphalt shingle - Metal - Tile - Flat roofs (TPO and torch down) ### One Company for the Carpentry and the Roof Hiring a roofing contractor means one crew handles both the wood repair and the waterproofing above it. When the carpentry and the roof are bid separately, it's easy for nobody to fix the drip edge or the leak that caused the rot. Roof Repair Company uses its own crew, never subcontractors. We work from our office at 21418 Provincial Blvd, Katy, TX 77450, and serve homeowners within a 100-mile radius of Houston. ## What Causes Rotten Soffit and Eave Damage? Rotten soffit and eaves come from trapped moisture: roof-edge leaks, overflowing gutters, missing or bent drip edges, and attic condensation. Wood rot sets in when fungi feed on wood that stays damp, softening it until it loses strength. Eave rot usually progresses in four stages: 1. **Water gets in** behind the gutter or under the first row of shingles. 2. **Paint blisters** and peels as the wood soaks up water. 3. **Fungus grows** in the damp wood. 4. **Framing fails.** Rafter tails and fascia crumble, gaps open for pests, and gutters pull loose. ### Drip Edge Failure Without a working drip edge, water curls back under the shingle edge instead of dropping into the gutter. It soaks the edge of the decking and runs into the joint behind the fascia. A drip edge protects the eave when three things are right: - **Placement:** along the eave, it sits on the decking under the underlayment. Along the sloped rake edges, it goes over the underlayment. - **Kick-out:** the bottom lip angles outward so water drops clear of the fascia. - **Fastening:** it's nailed securely along the deck flange so wind can't lift it. When a drip edge rusts, bends, or gets left off during a reroof, water runs down the face of the fascia into the seam where it meets the soffit. You'll often see water stains on the soffit and dark streaks on the siding or brick below. ### Gutter Overflow, Pests, and Poor Attic Ventilation Clogged gutters back water up against the roof edge and soak the back of the fascia, which is usually raw, unpainted wood. Poor attic ventilation rots soffit from the inside. In Southeast Texas humidity, warm moist air rises into the attic. If insulation blocks the soffit vents, that air can't flow out through the ridge. It condenses under the roof deck and drips into the soffit cavity. Soft, rotting soffit also lets in squirrels, rodents, bats, and carpenter bees, which chew the wood and damage insulation. | Moisture source | What you'll notice | What rots first | | --- | --- | --- | | Roof-edge leak | Ceiling stains near outside walls; curling edge shingles | Decking edge, top of fascia, rafter tail tips | | Gutter overflow | Peeling paint behind gutters; sagging gutter hangers | Face and back of fascia | | Attic condensation | Dark spotting on rafters; damp soffit interior | Underside of soffit, eave framing | | Pests | Holes in soffit; noises near the overhang | Soffit vents, boxed eave corners | ## How Much Does It Cost to Repair or Replace Eaves? Nationally, roof eave repair averages about $900, with most projects between $460 and $1,330, according to Fixr (https://www.fixr.com/costs/roof-eaves-repair). Fixr puts eave repair at $6 to $20 per linear foot. Your price depends on how many feet are damaged, how far the rot goes, access, and whether gutters and rafter tails need work. Fixr's national averages by component: | Component | Repair | Replacement | | --- | --- | --- | | Soffit | $6–$20 per linear ft | $20–$30 per linear ft | | Fascia | $6–$16 per linear ft | $15–$20 per linear ft | | Rafter tails | $3–$12 per board ft | $6–$12 per board ft | These are national figures, not Roof Repair Company prices. ### Getting an Accurate Price An accurate price takes an on-site look, because paint hides rotted rafter tails and decking. Nobody can tell from the ground how far rot has spread behind a gutter. Our instant estimate tool at roof.day gives you a ballpark. For a firm number, we schedule free inspections every day from 7am to 7pm. They take 15 to 30 minutes. During the inspection we check: - Shingles and overhang at the roof edge - Drip edge and underlayment - Fascia alignment and gutter weight - Soffit vents for blockage and moisture - Rafter tails for hidden rot You get a written quote the same day, on site. ### Financing and Payment We offer financing through Wisetack. The prequalification is a soft credit pull, and you get a decision the same day. - **No payment until installation day.** - **Special-order shingles** require a non-refundable deposit. - **Payment methods:** wire transfer or Chase bank-to-bank. Checks must clear before installation. ## Spot Repair vs. Full Roofline Replacement Spot repair works when rot is limited to one board and the framing behind it is solid. Widespread rafter rot or damaged decking calls for rebuilding that run of the roofline. The decision comes down to the framing behind the trim: - **Rot only in one trim board, framing solid:** spot repair. Cut out the damaged section and splice in new wood. - **Rot in the board and the rafter tails or decking behind it:** full eave rebuild for that section. - **Rot across several rafter tails, or moisture reaching the attic:** rebuild the whole run of roofline and the roof edge above it. ### When a Spot Repair Is Enough A spot repair fits early rot in a short span, such as a loose gutter hanger that let water rot a couple of feet of fascia while the boards around it stay dry. A clean spot repair: 1. Takes down the gutter section without bending it. 2. Cuts out the damaged fascia with joints landing on solid rafter tails. 3. Adds a wood backing cleat behind any joint that can't land on a rafter. 4. Installs new primed lumber, with all cut ends primed. 5. Leaves a small expansion gap and seals the seam with exterior sealant. Spot repairs save sound wood and labor. But new trim fastened over soft framing will rot again. ### When Rafter Tail Rot Means a Full Rebuild A full rebuild is needed when water has gotten past the drip edge and rotted several rafter tails or the edge of the decking. New trim can't hold fasteners in rotted framing, especially once gutters fill with water. A full roofline rebuild typically goes like this: 1. Remove the bottom courses of shingles, the drip edge, and rotted decking along that section. 2. Sister new framing lumber to the damaged rafter tails. 3. Install new roof decking, sub-fascia, and fascia. 4. Install new vented soffit so the attic gets intake air. 5. Put down ice-and-water underlayment at the edge, install new drip edge, and weave in new shingles. On roof replacements, Roof Repair Company provides a lifetime workmanship warranty — for as long as you own your home — with lifetime shingles, and every job includes haul-off and a magnet sweep for nails. ## Can You Fix Damaged Eaves Yourself? You can fill shallow surface damage with an epoxy wood repair kit. A kit won't fix structural rot or the roof leak causing it. ### Why Repair Kits Fail on Water Rot Store-bought soffit and fascia repair kits usually include two-part epoxy filler and a liquid wood hardener. They're meant for small cracks, woodpecker holes, and weathered trim. They fail on real water rot because: - **The rot keeps going.** Hardener only soaks into the surface; fungus deeper in the wood stays active behind the patch. - **Screws won't hold.** Epoxy can't anchor gutter hangers, so fasteners pull out under load. - **The patch cracks.** Wood moves with humidity and epoxy doesn't, so patched joints split over time. If the board flexes when you press it or crumbles into fibers, a kit won't help. The rotted wood has to come out. ### Replacing Rotted Soffit the Right Way Replacing rotted soffit means removing the old trim, cutting out the decay, sistering the framing, and installing vented panels: 1. **Set up safely.** Use ladder standoffs so the ladder rests on the wall, not on the gutter or soft fascia. 2. **Take down the gutter** and lower it without bending it. 3. **Remove the rotted fascia and soffit** to expose the rafter tails and wall plate. 4. **Cut out the decay** back to solid wood. 5. **Sister new framing** to each damaged rafter tail, well past the cut, with galvanized nails or structural screws. 6. **Add a wall ledger and sub-fascia** as nailing surfaces for the new soffit. 7. **Install vented soffit** and keep insulation from blocking the vents. 8. **Install the finish fascia** tight under the drip edge, seal the joints, prime cut ends, and rehang the gutter into solid framing. ### Permits, Insurance, and Safety Once a repair goes past swapping trim and into framing, many cities require a permit. - **Permits:** Roof Repair Company is insured and registered with local municipalities, and pulls permits when the work requires them. - **Texas rules:** Texas does not issue a state roofing license. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. - **Our own crew:** we never subcontract the carpentry. Our team has completed over 7,000 roofing jobs, and references are available on request. ## Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Soffit and Eave Repair? Insurance usually covers soffit and eave repair only when a sudden event caused the damage, such as wind, hail, or a falling tree limb. Most policies exclude gradual rot, termites, and maintenance problems. Check your own policy, since coverage varies. - **Usually covered:** wind lifts the edge shingles and tears off the drip edge, letting rain into the fascia; a falling limb crushes an eave corner; hail punches holes in soffit panels or breaks gutter hangers. - **Usually excluded:** rot from gutters left clogged for years; fascia left unpainted until it decays; rot from trapped attic moisture. ### Filing a Storm Claim and Scheduling an Inspection If a storm damages your roof edge, take clear photos and video of the roofline, siding, and attic before anything is removed. - **Free inspection:** we schedule 15 to 30-minute inspections every day from 7am to 7pm. - **Adjuster meeting:** we meet your insurance adjuster on site to walk the damage and the framing work it needs. - **Repair:** once the claim is settled, our own crew removes the damaged parts, repairs the framing, installs new fascia and soffit, and reflashes the roof edge.

Roof Repair Company repairs soffit, fascia, and rafter tails with its own crew and fixes the leak above them. **What causes soffit and eave damage?** Trapped moisture from roof-edge leaks, missing or bent drip edges, overflowing gutters, and attic condensation. Damp wood grows fungus, softens, and eventually lets pests in. **How much does it cost to repair rotted eaves?** Nationally, Fixr reports an average of about $900, with most jobs between $460 and $1,330, or $6 to $20 per linear foot. We give a firm written price on site after a free inspection. **Should damaged eaves be patched or replaced?** Patch when rot is limited to one board and the framing behind it is solid. Rebuild the section when rot has reached the rafter tails or roof decking. **Can I repair rotted soffit and fascia myself?** Epoxy kits handle small surface cracks, not structural rot. Real rot means removing gutters, cutting out framing, and working on ladders, and the roof leak still has to be fixed. **Will roofers replace rotted rafter tails, or just shingles and trim?** We repair rafter tails too. We cut out the rotted wood and sister new lumber to the sound framing before installing new fascia and soffit. **What does a drip edge do?** It's metal flashing along the roof edge that sends water into the gutter. When it's missing or bent, water runs behind the gutter and rots the fascia, soffit, and rafter tails. **Does homeowners insurance cover soffit and eave repair?** Usually only when sudden damage like wind, hail, or a falling limb caused it. Gradual rot from maintenance issues is normally excluded. Coverage depends on your policy. * * * ## Structured data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "WebSite", "name": "Roof Repair Company", "legalName": "Roof Repair Company LLC", "url": "https://roof.day/", "potentialAction": { "@type": "SearchAction", "target": "https://roof.day/blog?q={search_term_string}", "query-input": "required name=search_term_string" } }, { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://www.trustindex.io/reviews/roof.day/en", "name": "Roof Repair Company", "logo": "https://cdn.trustindex.io/companies/be/bed3a5117691gf24/avatar.jpg", "url": "https://roof.day", "description": "Do you agree with Roof Repair Company's 5-star rating?

Johnny and his team absolutely exceeded our expectations. 💯 **Would recommend them without hesitation!**", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/103115914732149", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alexis Trahan" }, "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "worstRating": 1, "bestRating": 5, "ratingValue": 5 }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Trustindex", "sameAs": "https://www.trustindex.io" }, "inLanguage": "en" }, { "@type": "Review", "datePublished": "2026-05-13T10:56:37+00:00", "reviewBody": "Friendly staff and skilled workers who really know what they’re doing.", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/103115914732149", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mohammad Craig" }, "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "worstRating": 1, "bestRating": 5, "ratingValue": 5 }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Trustindex", "sameAs": "https://www.trustindex.io" }, "inLanguage": "en" }, { "@type": "Review", "datePublished": "2026-05-13T10:54:53+00:00", "reviewBody": "My roof was repaired perfectly with no more leaks.

Roof Repair Company repairs soffit, fascia, and rafter tails with its own crew and fixes the leak above them." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What causes soffit and eave damage?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Trapped moisture from roof-edge leaks, missing or bent drip edges, overflowing gutters, and attic condensation. Damp wood grows fungus, softens, and eventually lets pests in." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much does it cost to repair rotted eaves?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Nationally, Fixr reports an average of about $900, with most jobs between $460 and $1,330, or $6 to $20 per linear foot. We give a firm written price on site after a free inspection." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Should damaged eaves be patched or replaced?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Patch when rot is limited to one board and the framing behind it is solid.

Real rot means removing gutters, cutting out framing, and working on ladders, and the roof leak still has to be fixed." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will roofers replace rotted rafter tails, or just shingles and trim?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We repair rafter tails too. We cut out the rotted wood and sister new lumber to the sound framing before installing new fascia and soffit." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does a drip edge do?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It's metal flashing along the roof edge that sends water into the gutter. When it's missing or bent, water runs behind the gutter and rots the fascia, soffit, and rafter tails." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does homeowners insurance cover soffit and eave repair?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Usually only when sudden damage like wind, hail, or a falling limb caused it. Gradual rot from maintenance issues is normally excluded.
