What Is Soffit and Why Is It Important?
Soffit is the protective covering that conceals the eaves and rafter beams of your roof. It serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose, adding instant character to your building while safeguarding your rafters from the elements. Additionally, soffit plays a crucial role in promoting proper air circulation, preventing mold buildup, and protecting your home from unwanted access by insects and pests.
