Ladder survey of the overhang
A roofer walks the eave line and probes the fascia every 2 feet for soft wood. Photos of the rotted board, the soffit vents and the gutter pitch reach the homeowner before any figure is named.
Amatucci Roofing replaces rotted fascia and vented soffit on Sinking Spring homes from a Wernersville shop 3 miles out, phone answered day and night.
Amatucci Roofing repairs fascia and soffit on homes across Sinking Spring, a Berks County borough of 4,286 people. The shop stands in Wernersville, about 3 miles along Penn Avenue.
Rotted board, sagging panels and water tracking behind the gutter decide the job. The crew opens the overhang, replaces the wood, wraps or vents the soffit, then resets the drip edge.
Fascia and soffit repair in Sinking Spring covers four jobs: rotted board, soffit venting, drip edge and gutter line, and storm callouts.
Rot starts where the gutter overflows and soaks the board behind it. The crew cuts out the soft run, sets new fascia stock against the rafter tails, and primes the cut ends.
Soffit panels carry intake air to the attic. Blocked or missing venting traps heat under the roof deck through a Sinking Spring July, when the borough averages 75.6 degrees.
Drip edge sends water off the shingles into the gutter instead of down the face of the board. The crew sets that metal edge, refastens loose hangers, and re-pitches the gutter line.
Wind pulls soffit panels loose and leaves the overhang open to rain and nesting birds. Amatucci Roofing keeps the phone answered around the clock, so a night storm call reaches a person.

Four steps carry a Sinking Spring fascia and soffit repair: ladder survey, tear-off, new board and panels, and gutter reset.
A roofer walks the eave line and probes the fascia every 2 feet for soft wood. Photos of the rotted board, the soffit vents and the gutter pitch reach the homeowner before any figure is named.
Tear-off starts at the worst run of fascia. The crew drops the gutter, lifts the damaged soffit panels, and strips rotted fascia back to sound rafter tails. Nesting material and wet insulation leave the overhang the same day.
New fascia stock goes up primed on four sides and fastened into the rafter tails. Vented soffit panels follow, cut to the overhang so the attic pulls air at the eave and pushes it out at the ridge.
Drip edge and the gutter go back on last, hangers re-pitched toward the downspout. The crew sweeps nails out of the beds and drives out of Sinking Spring with the torn board on the truck.
Six pockets around Sinking Spring sit inside the crew's daily run:
