Protecting Your Roofline From Water and Pests

Fascia and Soffit Repair in Barnhart, Missouri

When fascia boards start to pull away from your roofline or soffit panels show dark stains and sagging sections, water and pests often find their way into spaces they should never reach. In Barnhart, moisture from seasonal rain and humidity can accelerate this damage, leaving gaps where wasps build nests and wood begins to rot behind the visible surface. McCoy's Exteriors removes compromised fascia and soffit sections and replaces them with materials that seal your roofline and restore the structural support your gutters depend on.

This service addresses both cosmetic wear and the functional problems that come with it. Fascia boards hold your gutter system in place, while soffits cover the underside of your roof overhang and allow ventilation into your attic. When either component fails, your home loses protection against moisture intrusion and pest entry. We inspect the extent of the damage, remove rotted or warped sections, and install replacement materials that match your existing exterior and meet ventilation requirements.

If you have noticed peeling paint, visible gaps, or soft spots along your roofline in Barnhart, we can assess the condition of your fascia and soffit and explain what needs to be done. Get in Touch

How do you know if the damage goes deeper than the visible board?

We start by removing the damaged fascia or soffit sections, which often means detaching gutter brackets or downspout hardware temporarily. In Barnhart, we frequently find that water has traveled behind the visible board, so we check the rafter tails and roof decking for hidden rot before installing new material. Replacement boards are cut to fit, primed if needed, and secured with corrosion-resistant fasteners.

After the work is finished, you will see a clean roofline with no gaps, sagging panels, or discolored spots. Our work restores both function and appearance. Gutters sit level again, soffits provide proper attic ventilation, and the edge of your roof no longer invites moisture or insects inside.

We use materials that match your existing trim in thickness, profile, and finish. If only part of a board is damaged, we can splice in a new section rather than replace the entire run. This approach reduces cost and keeps the repair consistent with the rest of your home. The work typically includes repainting or staining the new sections to match surrounding trim, and we make sure all seams are caulked to prevent future water entry.

Questions That Come Up Before Scheduling

Homeowners often want to know how much of the fascia or soffit needs replacement, whether the damage has spread, and what caused the problem in the first place. These questions help clarify what the repair involves and how to prevent it from happening again.

What causes fascia and soffit to rot or warp?
Water is the most common cause, usually from clogged gutters, roof leaks, or missing drip edge. When water runs behind the fascia or soaks into unventilated soffit panels, the wood softens and begins to decay.
How do you know if the damage goes deeper than the visible board?
We remove the damaged section and inspect the rafter tails and roof sheathing behind it. If those areas show rot or staining, we treat or replace them before installing the new fascia or soffit.
Can you repair just one section or does the entire board need replacement?
If the damage is isolated and the rest of the board is solid, we can splice in a new section. When rot has spread or the board is warped along most of its length, full replacement is the better option.
What material do you use for replacement fascia and soffit?
We typically use primed pine, cedar, or PVC trim board depending on what matches your existing exterior. PVC is more resistant to moisture and does not require repainting, while wood offers a closer match to older homes.
How long does fascia and soffit repair take?
Most repairs take one day, depending on the number of boards that need replacement and whether gutter removal is involved. Larger jobs or homes with complex rooflines may take two days.
