Fascia & Soffit Repair in Miami — Wood Rot & Storm Damage
Fascia and soffits are the first components to rot in Miami's humidity — and damaged soffits allow water, pests, and mold into your attic. Top Florida Roofing repairs and replaces rotted wood fascia, aluminum fascia wrap, vented and solid soffit panels, and all associated flashing across Miami-Dade. Free inspection included with any roofing estimate.
Signs include gutters pulling away from the house, soft or spongy wood when pressed, paint peeling in vertical strips, and visible discoloration or staining on the fascia surface. A screwdriver pushed into the fascia — if it sinks in easily — the wood is rotted.
No. Paint over rotted wood traps moisture and accelerates the rot. The rotted section must be cut out to solid wood, treated with a borate preservative, and replaced with new material before any painting.
For in-kind fascia and soffit replacement on existing structures, a full permit is typically not required in Miami-Dade. However, if we're replacing structural rafter tails or modifying the roof structure, a permit is required. We assess the permit requirement at inspection and handle all filings.
We replace all damaged soffit panels with solid-panel sections where access was gained, install stainless steel pest screen at all remaining vented sections, and inspect the attic for existing occupants (which requires a separate pest control engagement if found).
In most cases, yes — we temporarily detach the gutters, replace the fascia, and re-hang the gutters. If the gutters are old or damaged, we note this in our estimate. You're never required to replace gutters as part of a fascia repair.
