One of the most common home repair calls we get in the Cincinnati area are for soffit and fascia damage. Soffits and fascia are parts of the home that are particularly susceptible to water, storm and animal damage. Unfortunately, however, soffit and fascia construction defects abound in Cincinnati-area homes and therefore you need to be on guard to spot trouble before expensive home repairs drain your bank account.

Thanks for the video Don! Your whiteboard drawing was very helpful! I'm having this exact problem (though I don't have a soffit), but I do have a drip edge and the gutter is clear... we've been having some rain (not driving) and our fascia is getting completely destroyed. What else can I check for?

@mar504 : Great question! I made a new video to answer your question. I hope this helps!

Brilliant. Best vid on the subject so far I've seen after looking at several. Do you have stats for how far the shingle should overhang past the fascia / roof sheeting? I guess the more shallow the roof angle, the further back up the underside of the roofing material the water can travel.

2 things please. 1 is your drawing of a gutter shows the front of the gutter 2 times as tall as the back of the gutter and 2 this is very important to me, your drip edge looks like it is bent out to about the center of the gutter troft. the 4 10 foot long pieces that i bought today have a small factory bend sticking out about no more than 1/4 inch. am i supposed to bend the drip edge away from the gutter board after installing it to be more like your picture?

you are not alone take heart we are discovering an underground,group that slaps off to each other(,state,farm )insurance,and( All-state) insurance,are giving the clams adjuster,jobs,they get a bunch of uneducated Hispanics to do the work, while they traumatize the home owner with cruel,crazy,comments to distract from getting a drip,edge,and not notice if the ice Gard is installed,and the proper,flashing,inspection should happen just before the roof tiles go down,
