What we see with fascia and soffit repair in Seattle
In Seattle, where older Craftsman homes still have original cedar siding with no weather barrier behind it, and new townhomes have complicated flashing at decks, parapets and rooftop patios, gutters clog and overflow and water soaks the fascia behind them. Homes with early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and Tudors, mid-century homes and new townhomes often have fascia that has never had a drip edge.
We focus on north Seattle and nearby neighborhoods, where most of our Seattle jobs are. We regularly work in Ballard, Greenwood, Wallingford, Green Lake, Ravenna, Lake City, Northgate and Magnolia.
North Seattle neighborhoods sit between Puget Sound, Lake Washington and Lake Union, with dense lots, mature street trees and marine air. Early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and Tudors in Wallingford, Ballard and Ravenna, mid-century homes in Lake City and Northgate, and new townhomes throughout.

Fascia & Soffit Repair in Seattle: what you should know
Fascia boards carry your gutters and close off the ends of the rafters. Soffits close the underside of the overhang and vent the attic. In Seattle, fascia rots where gutters clog and overflow, and where the roof edge was installed without a drip edge so water curls back behind the gutter.
What causes it in Seattle
No drip edge
Water runs off the shingles and back behind the gutter onto the fascia.
Clogged or sagging gutters
Overflowing gutters soak the fascia and rafter tails.
Ice and debris buildup
Leaves and needles hold water at the roof edge for weeks.
Pest damage
Soft fascia and gaps let birds, squirrels and insects into the eaves.
What our fascia and soffit repair includes
- Removal and reinstallation or replacement of gutters
- Removal of rotted fascia, roof edge and soffit
- Sistering or replacing rafter tails
- New fascia in primed wood or composite
- New soffit with venting
- Drip edge at the roof edge
- Gutters re-hung with hidden hangers and correct slope
How to prevent it
- Clean gutters at least twice a year, more under trees
- Add drip edge when the roof is replaced
- Keep gutters sloped toward downspouts
- Trim branches back from the roof
- Repaint fascia before the paint fails
What affects the cost in Seattle
Fascia-only repair is straightforward. When rafter tails or the roof sheathing at the edge have rotted, the work takes longer. Gutter replacement can be done at the same time and often makes sense when the old gutters are bent or undersized.
How long it takes
Most fascia and soffit repairs take one to three days, depending on length and how much of the roof edge needs work.
