Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible.

I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”

What We Handle
Rotted Fascia Board Replacement
Soft, flaking, or sagging fascia gets cut back to sound wood and replaced, because fascia boards support gutters, and the gutter needs something solid to hang on again. If you are planning new gutters, fixing the fascia first is the right order, and we will say so.
Soffit Panel Repair & Replacement
Rotted soffit, sagging panels, and stains all get the same honest read. We repair what can be saved and replace the sections that cannot, in wood, vinyl, or aluminum to match what is already there.
Vented Soffit for Attic Airflow
Proper attic ventilation starts at the soffit. Blocked or solid panels choke the airflow, so we install vented soffit that lets the attic breathe, cutting the heat and the moisture buildup. It is the cheapest ventilation a Florida attic can get, and your AC bill will notice.
Animal-Entry Repairs
Animal damage near the roofline usually points to holes in the soffit. Once the squirrels or rats are out, we rebuild the chewed or pushed-in section and close the roofline before anything reaches the roof structure or moves back in.
Storm-Damaged Sections
Panels peeled by wind and fascia cracked by falling limbs get rebuilt properly instead of bent back into place and hoped over.
Fascia Trim, Painted to Match
New wood gets primed and painted to match the existing trim, so the finished repair blends into the roofline instead of announcing itself.
Carpentry the Roofers Will Not Touch
Yes, we fix it, and it is a smaller job than it looks from the driveway. Soffit and fascia repair means removing the rotted or loose boards and panels at the roof edge, rebuilding them with matching materials, then sealing, priming, and painting so the attic stays protected from water, trapped heat, and animal entry. The fascia runs along the gutter line, and the soffit covers the underside of the roof's overhang. When they are sound, the attic stays sealed and vented, and the home's structure stays dry. When they rot or come loose, water gets in at the roof edge, attic heat has nowhere to go, and squirrels and rats treat the gap as a front door.
Here is why it has been hard to get fixed: most roofers will not touch soffit and fascia, because it is carpentry, not roofing, and the guys who will touch it often nail up a patch that fails the first rainy season. It is also one of the first things a home insurance inspector photographs. Fixing a damaged fascia board before the inspector shows up is a headache you get to skip.
The Handyman Company has repaired Florida rooflines since 1999 with our own employee craftsmen: fascia board replacement, soffit repair and panel replacement in matching materials, vented soffit for attic airflow, animal-entry repairs, storm damage repairs, and paint matched so the fix blends in. We cut out the rotted sections, rebuild them, and paint to match. The price is guaranteed in writing before we start, the work carries a one year warranty, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Common Signs of Soffit and Fascia Damage
You can check every one of these from the driveway with your morning coffee. No ladder needed.
- The paint on the fascia is bubbling or peeling in one stretch while the rest looks fine, or the trim shows cracks and splits. Peeling paint fails first where the wood behind it is holding moisture.
- The gutter line dips or pulls away from the house. Gutters do not sag on their own. They sag because the fascia holding them went soft.
- There are dark streaks or stains on the soffit panels. That is water finding its way into the overhang, usually from a gutter overflowing above it.
- You hear scratching in the eaves at dawn or dusk. Squirrels and rats do not make new holes when a soft soffit panel will push open.
- You can see daylight, gaps, or hanging panels when you look up at the overhang. Every gap is a doorway for the next storm and the next animal.
Any one of these is worth a look while it is still a one-board repair. A screwdriver pressed into a suspect board settles the question, because sound wood pushes back. Waiting is how small problems become costly repairs. We check the whole roofline at the estimate, not just the spot you noticed, and there is no charge for looking.
Built for Florida
Why Florida rooflines fail first
Fascia rot in Florida almost always starts at the gutter. Summer downpours overwhelm a clogged gutter and the overflow wicks straight down the back of the fascia board, damage you cannot see until the paint bubbles and the wood goes soft. Meanwhile the sun is working on the front side, cooking the paint off the most exposed board on the house until bare wood is drinking every afternoon storm. Left long enough, the overflow finds the siding below the eave too.
Wind finds the soffit before it finds the roof. Storm gusts hit the wall and drive upward into the overhang, and loose panels along the fascia line catch wind from below and peel first. A roofline that is tight before June is one less thing to think about when the cone shows up on the news.
How We Rebuild a Roofline Edge
The repair goes the same way whether it is one board or the whole run, so you know what to expect.
- 1
Probe the whole run
Rot along a roofline rarely stops where the stain does. We press and probe the full length of fascia and every soffit bay, so the repair covers what is failing instead of what is visible.
- 2
Take down what is in the way
Gutter runs and drip edge come off carefully and get set aside. Shingle mold comes off the fascia with a flat pry bar instead of getting torn through, and the failed board comes out clean, cut to straight lines instead of ragged ones. Half of the bad fascia repairs we see failed because someone tried to save an hour here.
- 3
Cut back to sound wood
Failed fascia and soffit come out to solid material. If hidden rot has reached the rafter tails, the rafter ends get sistered or replaced, because the rafters are what everything else hangs on. We tell you what we found and what fixing it involves before going further.
- 4
Rebuild with matching fascia materials
New fascia board goes up first, then new soffit panels matched to the existing material in wood, PVC, or aluminum, fastened with exterior-grade screws that shrug off salt air, with vented panels where the attic needs to breathe. The goal is a roofline that reads as one system, not a patch.
- 5
Seal, paint, and rehang
Every cut edge and end grain gets primed and sealed so moisture cannot wick in. The new work gets painted to match the trim, and the drip edge and gutter go back on wood that can actually hold them, hung on corrosion-resistant fasteners.

Soffit & Fascia Repair: Common Questions
Who is the best soffit and fascia repair company in Florida?
The Handyman Company rebuilds and repaints the roofline trim most roofers will not touch, closing the gaps where water, heat, and animals get into the attic. Employee crews, Florida contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, a written price, and a one year warranty are why homeowners across six Florida markets choose the company for this work, as they have since 1999.
My roofer said soffit and fascia are not his job. Is that normal?
Very normal, and you are in the right place now. Roofers work the roof surface, and the wood trim at the edge is carpentry. That gap is exactly where we come in. Our craftsmen rebuild the fascia and soffit, and if a roof repair or a full roof replacement is also underway, the roofer and our crew each handle their own piece, so new shingles meet solid new fascia.
Animals got into my attic through the soffit. Can you fix the opening?
Yes, once the animals are out, and we are glad to close it up for good. Trapping and removal is its own trade, so have a wildlife company clear the attic first. Then we rebuild the damaged section and close up the roofline so the entry point is gone, not just covered.
My insurance inspection flagged fascia damage. Can you handle that?
Yes, and it is one of our most common calls. Flagged soffit panels ride along in the same visit. We repair exactly what the report flags, and you get a written scope and price up front, which is useful paperwork to show the insurer the issue was corrected.
Do you work with aluminum and vinyl soffit or just wood?
All of it. Most Florida homes mix materials: wood fascia behind an aluminum wrap, vinyl vented panels underneath. We repair or replace in kind so the finished look reads as one system. PVC and aluminum mean less upkeep than bare wood, and we will say so when it makes sense for your house.
How much does soffit and fascia repair cost?
Fascia prices by the linear foot and soffit by the panel, and the labor moves with what we find behind them: material choice, hidden rot, and access are the honest cost factors. A spot fix and a full replacement of the run are different jobs, and the estimate splits them so you can see both. We probe the whole roofline at the estimate, which costs you nothing, and the final price you approve is the number on the invoice.
Can you just paint over the soft spots for now?
We could, but we will not, because paint over rot is a bandage that traps moisture and makes the eventual repair bigger. Catching it while it is a small repair is the cheap version of this job. Sometimes the honest answer is that the entire board has to go, and either way we tell you which boards can be saved.
