“I called The Handyman Company after I noticed a piece of the soffit hanging down on the side of my house. Brian was able to come out a couple days later and fix it. The price was reasonable and the communication was great. I will definitely use this company again!”
“Brian is very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He fixed our soffit. We would definitely call the company again in the future.”
“Needed some work on my screened porch and soffits as well as my outdoor faucet and the Handyman Company was able to take care of it all and did a great job as well as getting it done quickly. Would definitely use them again.”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. 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, so the gutter has something solid to hang on again.
Soffit Panel Repair & Replacement
Sagging, stained, or missing soffit panels repaired or replaced in wood, vinyl, or aluminum to match what is already there.
Vented Soffit for Attic Airflow
Blocked or solid soffit traps attic heat. We install vented panels so the attic can breathe, which your AC bill will appreciate.
Animal-Entry Repairs
Once the squirrels or rats are out, we rebuild the chewed or pushed-in section and close the roofline so they do not move back in.
Storm-Damaged Sections
Panels peeled by wind and fascia cracked by falling limbs, rebuilt properly instead of bent back into place.
Paint & Finish to Match
New wood gets primed and painted to match the existing trim, so the repair blends into the roofline instead of announcing itself.
Carpentry the Roofers Will Not Touch
Soffit and fascia are the boards and panels that close off the edge of your roof: the fascia runs along the gutter line, and the soffit covers the underside of the overhang. When they are sound, the attic stays sealed and vented. When they rot or come loose, rain gets into the roof edge, attic heat has nowhere to go, and squirrels and rats treat the gap as a front door.
Here is the problem with getting it 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. Damaged fascia on an inspection report is a headache you can avoid by fixing it before the inspector shows up.
The Handyman Company has repaired Florida rooflines since 1999 with our own employee craftsmen. We cut out what is failing, rebuild it, and paint it to match, with the price guaranteed in writing before we start and a one year warranty on the work.

Signs Your Roofline Is Asking for Help
You can check most of this from the driveway with your morning coffee.
- The paint on the fascia is bubbling or peeling in one stretch while the rest looks fine. Paint fails first where the wood behind it is wet.
- 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. We check the whole roofline at the estimate, not just the spot you noticed.
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, where you cannot see it 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.
Wind finds the soffit before it finds the roof. Storm gusts hit the wall and drive upward into the overhang, so loose soffit panels 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
- 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 get detached carefully and set aside, not worked around. 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 the rot has reached the ends of the rafter tails, we tell you what we found and what fixing it involves before going further.
- 4
Rebuild in kind
New fascia board, soffit panels matched to the existing material, and 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 gets primed and sealed, the new work is painted to match the trim, and the gutter goes back on wood that can actually hold it.

Soffit & Fascia Repair: Common Questions
My roofer said soffit and fascia are not his job. Is that normal?
Very normal. 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 is also needed, the roofer and our crew each handle their own piece.
Animals got into my attic through the soffit. Can you fix the opening?
Yes, once the animals are out. 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 damaged soffit and fascia. Can you handle that?
That is one of our most common calls for this work. 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 roofline looks like one system.
How much does soffit and fascia repair cost?
Fascia prices by the run and soffit by the panel, and what we find behind them matters more than either. We probe the whole roofline at the estimate, which costs you nothing, and the written number 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 one board is the cheap version of this job, and we will tell you honestly which boards can be saved.
