When most homeowners think about roof protection, shingles and gutters usually come to mind but the fascia plays a crucial role too. This often-overlooked component protects your roof’s edges, supports the gutters, and enhances the curb appeal of your home.

1. What Is Fascia?

The fascia is the horizontal board that runs along the edge of your roof, connecting to the ends of the rafters. It acts as a barrier between your roof and the elements keeping water, pests, and debris from entering your attic or roof cavity.

2. How Fascia Protects Your Roof

A well-installed fascia prevents moisture damage, wood rot, and structural decay. When combined with properly functioning soffits, it ensures your attic stays ventilated and your roof remains in great condition year-round.

3. Why Maintenance Matters

Over time, fascia boards can deteriorate due to exposure to rain and humidity. Regular inspections and maintenance from Houston Roofing & Gutters help extend the lifespan of your roof and prevent costly repairs.
