When homeowners think about exterior renovations, they often focus on siding, windows, or roofing — but soffit plays an equally critical role in protecting your home.At Tung Tung Construction, we’ve worked on countless soffit and fascia installations across GTA, and here’s what every homeowner should know.
What Is Soffit?
Soffit is the material installed under the eaves of your roof — the underside between the exterior wall and roof edge. While it’s often overlooked, soffit serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Most soffit systems are made of:
- Aluminum
- Vinyl
- Wood (in older homes)
Why Is Soffit Important?
1. Ventilation for Your Attic
Properly vented soffits allow fresh air to flow into your attic, preventing:
- Moisture buildup
- Mold growth
- Ice damming in winter
This improves your home’s energy efficiency and prolongs your roof’s lifespan.
2. Protection From Pests
Soffit acts as a barrier, keeping birds, squirrels, and insects from entering your roof structure.
3. A Finished Look
Soffit gives the edge of your roof a clean, polished appearance and can be customized to match your home’s color scheme.
Soffit Installation Matters
Poorly installed or damaged soffit can lead to costly problems down the road. At Tung Tung Construction, we ensure:
- Proper venting is included
- Materials match your home’s exterior
- Seams are sealed to keep pests and moisture out
