✨ Soffit, Fascia & Siding: what it costs in the GTA (2026)

Fascia is the vertical board your eavestrough hangs on; soffit is the underside panel where the roof overhangs the wall. Together they close the roof edge against weather and squirrels while letting the attic breathe through soffit vents. When they fail (rot, peeling, gaps) you get pest entry, attic condensation, and eavestrough with nothing solid to hold onto. New aluminum here is the cheapest facelift a house can get, and one of the most structural-adjacent.

Nine times out of ten it's moisture from inside: a bathroom or dryer vent exhausting into the attic instead of through the roof or wall, or blocked soffit vents suffocating airflow. Warm wet air hits the cold aluminum or wood, condenses, and pushes paint off. Replace the soffit without fixing the venting and the new stuff peels too. We check where every fan terminates before quoting; it's a two-minute look that saves the whole job.

Aluminum takes heat, holds crisp lines on rooflines and trim, dents but doesn't crack, and takes paint later if you rebrand the house. Vinyl is cheaper per square, never needs paint, but goes brittle in deep cold and can crack on impact; colour is the colour forever. Roofline trim (soffit/fascia): aluminum, almost always. Large wall fields on a budget: vinyl earns its keep. Mixed systems are normal and smart.

Old material comes off (surprises live here: we find rot, wasp condos, and 1970s wiring stapled where it shouldn't be), wood gets repaired, then new aluminum is bent on-site on a brake to wrap every board cleanly. Vented soffit panels go where the attic needs intake. A typical roofline refresh is 1–3 days. Colour-matching to your windows and eavestrough is free; ask for the swatch ring, not a guess off a screen.
