PRBlast - Press Release Distribution Service

United States — / PRBlast / — Suffering from rotten soffit or fascia? Then you might need to have it repaired. Many homeowners who have experienced damage to their soffits and fascia will need to find a professional repair service.

Fascia and soffit repair is necessary to fix water damaged trim on a home. These can be damaged from ice dams, wind damage, and other weather-related issues. They keep your house protected from bad weather and vermin while disguising your attic ventilation system.

Contractors Association of America estimates that more than one in three homeowners will hire a contractor for home improvement projects every year. As projects get more significant and more complex, the importance of choosing the right contractor before soffits and fascia repairs becomes even more critical.

WHOM TO HIRE FOR SOFFIT AND FASCIA REPAIR, AND HOW TO FIND A GOOD CONTRACTOR?

The companies that specialize in soffit and fascia repairs are usually siding contractors, gutter contractors and roofing contractors.  Hiring a professional roofer, gutter company, carpenter, or skilled handyman will do your job as per your requirement.

If you want to get your soffit done, find companies who do this kind of work and then do your homework to ensure you hire a trustworthy contractor.

There’s no doubt that it’s been challenging to find a “good” contractor in the past few years. But once you do, the contractor will be so grateful for your home or business. He’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are completely satisfied with all his work.

You might even be able to hire someone with the expertise of soffit fascia repair directly from our website.

WHY SOFFIT AND FASCIA ARE IMPORTANT?

Soffit provides a place for animals to raise their young and shelter birds and other nesting creatures. It also keeps rain and snowmelt from running off the roof’s exterior into the house. Fasciae run horizontally supports that along with the top edge of a building. They help to add shape to the roofline.

Soffit and Fasciae are the protective coverings on your roof that covers the edge of your roof and work together to keep the roof strong and waterproof.

Soffit is the covering that runs along the top of your walls and fascia is the covering that runs along the edge of your roof. Soffits are the low wall attached to your house’s wall.

This covering is often made of vinyl soffit, aluminium or wood. The main purpose is to provide a finish or make the house look nice.

COMMON REPAIRING FOR SOFFIT AND FASCIA

The most common problem with soffit and fascia is water damage from leaves or debris, which causes rotting and staining. To repair this damage, remove the damaged fascia and soffit material, and replace it with new material.

What’s more, when you install a new fascia or soffit, make sure that the siding, roof edge, and gutters are in good condition and that they meet building codes.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR SOFFIT AND FASCIA

There are several ways to maintain your soffit and fascia to keep it in good condition and at its best quality. A good start is to examine it from time to time, so you will see if there are any damages or gaps.

For example, you can use a soffit board to cover the opening at the bottom of your wall if you have a space for a window. This is one of the least expensive ways to decorate your property.

These gaps can be caused by termites and other pests or splinters or broken pieces in the wood that needs fixing. You can use a soft brush to clean the soffit and the fascia.

If the area is too hard to clean, it might be best to contact professionals to do it for you.

There is a high chance of rotted fascia if water runs between the gutter and the Fascia for some time. A rotted fascia board can’t support the gutter system.

Finally, make sure they are cleaned at least once in one or two years with compressed air. Remove debris, leaves and other things that could cause damage to the soffit and fascia. Check if there are any cracks in the soffit and fascia.

FASCIA AND SOFFIT REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT INTERVAL

It’s crucial that homeowners inspect their fascia and soffits every year. The first step is to look for signs of damage or deterioration, such as chipping, cracking, blistering, blanching, bubbling and peeling. If they’re made of wood or metal, make sure there are no gaps or cracks where water could get in. Make sure everything is completely dry.

Soffits and fascia are the first parts of your roof to begin to deteriorate and leak. If you’ve noticed your soffit and fascia appear damaged or your roof shows signs of leakage, it’s time to have it repaired.

Most homeowners who install a whole house water filtration system should definitely pay the extra money for the peace of mind it provides. It’s well worth the investment when you consider water’s important role in your daily life.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE HIRING A FASCIA AND SOFFIT REPAIR CONTRACTOR

You want to get the right results, so make sure you know what the job entails before hiring someone to do it. Make a list of the items and take photos (if required) in the area to be fixed. Then, you should communicate those problems to potential contractors.

This will help you to get it done more quickly. To begin with, you need to understand the project. So, you have to talk to the client, ask questions, and get an idea of what they want and what the project is about. You can not see more damages, but you know what they are.

Soffits often have a lot of damage because they are outside. Learn what the types of damage are and ask your contractor about them. The soffit and fascia are in contact with water. This can cause them to rot. Water damage from the soffit deterioration causes mold growth in the interior. It can cause serious health concerns for you and your family.

Once you have gathered as much information as possible on the particular soffit concern, think about who you’ll trust to do the work. When hiring contractors, it’s always wise to ask for their licenses and insurance copies. It helps you stay protected in case something does happen.

10 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR FASCIA AND SOFFIT REPAIR CONTRACTORS

A qualified contractor should be a person who will answer your questions when you hire them. They need to know who they are working for and who pays their salary. You can do this by giving both of you expectations for the process.

It’s crucial that you and your contractor communicate and agree on the expectations and then hold yourselves accountable.

1. Have you passed all safety courses and certifications?
2. Are you licensed by the municipality where you’ll be working?
3. What’s your experience level?
4. Are you fully insured?
5. How long have you been in business?
6. Can I see your past work?
7. What’s the labor cost?
8. Conversely, how much will you charge me?
9. Is it possible to get a refund if we are not satisfied?
10. What are the terms of your payment?

AVOID SOFFIT AND FASCIA REPAIR SCAMS

Too many contractors are trying to scam unsuspecting homeowners these days. If you’re not careful, you could easily get tricked into paying for unnecessary home repairs, especially when it comes to soffit and fascia repair. Licensed contractors are the best option to avoid scammers. Licensed contractors must educate themselves on the best practices for fascia and soffit installation and repair.

KEEP RECORDS OF YOUR FASCIA & SOFFIT REPAIR PROJECT

Make some record of your roof soffit repair project so you can remember what you did a few years from now. Before and after pictures will show you the improvements you’ve made. Also, keep a record of the materials you used, material costs and the hours you spent so you can document the work for insurance purposes.

THINGS YOU CAN DO AFTER SOFFIT AND FASCIA REPAIR

It is vital that you do not allow your contractor to leave a mess after the roof soffit repair project is complete. You will want to ensure that all tools and materials are cleaned up and put back where they belong after the job is done. Pay the contractor in full after the work is complete.

You can consider leaving a review of the company. If you are happy with the service, it is better to provide references for other clients.

The roof, exterior, driveway, sidewalks are exposed all year long. They endure storms, droughts, hurricanes, frost, hail, tornados, sun, and rain and they must hold up for years and years. Pressure washing services can save you time, money and stress in keeping your safe haven free of rot, mildew, bugs, algae, and more.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season always catches me off guard, I tell myself I have plenty of time and then turn around to find Thanksgiving is next week. You willthen see me running around trying to get all of those things on my list done. You know the cleaning, decorating, and supervising the lighting displays on the roof. I will quickly forget that I wanted to clean the algae from the windows, get the spiders out of the pool enclosure or the oil spots out of the driveway.

We always want our homes in perfect condition when family comes to visit and there is no better way to achieve that curb appeal than using a pressure washing company. We all know that driveways fade, roofs streak, and that green hue from pollen mold and algae takes them all over. Why not extend their lives, remove the pesky bugs and bacteria that feed off of it and have your home beautiful for Holiday Company?

When you are making your lists, and checking them twice this holiday season, don’t forget to add hiring a professional pressure washer to your list is a must.  A premier Pressure Washer in Ocala, FL has come up with three reasons to keep this chore up to a professional.

Here are some of the other items pressure washing services work great on:

• Roofs
• Exterior Siding

Hamilton, NJ -- Just as sure as the sunrise, it’s guaranteed to happen every Spring. They promise to clean all the carpets in your house for $59.00. Sound too good to be true? It probably is. To make matters worse, they finally show up–three hours late-in a beat up pick-up truck with no company name, and hop out in torn jeans and a soiled tee-shirt. Then you realize it: you’ve been the victim of a bait -and -switch campaign.

What is bait and switch? Bait and switch scams work like this: a company advertises cleaning a roomful of carpet for a ridiculously low price. When they arrive, they inform you the price they quoted is only for the traffic lanes and doesn’t include any cleaning chemicals.” That’s like taking a bath with no soap,” says senior textile inspector Rodney Mortillaro at www.AllstateCleaning.Com.

So you agree to pay extra for the chemicals because you are thankful someone showed up. In the end, the final bill ends up costing you hundreds of dollars. Another typical scam is hearing that a company will clean a set amount of rooms for a very low price ( like 5 rooms for $49.00). After they begin, you discover a linen closet, hallway, foyer, or regular closet counts as a room, and you wind up paying a lot more than you thought you would. Bait-and-switch scams are especially targeted at the elderly. Seniors are more likely to be intimidated by high pressure tactics and by someone who “promises” to give then a good deal.

The latest carpet cleaning ruse is promoted through deal-of-the-day websites. That’s where you’re offered 3 rooms of carpet cleaning for $49. To take advantage of this offer, you have to prepay for a non-refundable certificate that expires in 90 days. Also, the website that makes the offer IS NOT responsible for the quality of the work. Plus all sales are final. What you don’t know is that most companies that do this went into business yesterday.

Then, they have have to give half of the $49 or $24.50 to the deal-of-the-day websites. Do you really think that they can afford to clean 3 rooms of carpets in your house for $24.50 and still make a profit? Of course not. Most of the time, they don’t even show up for appointments. If they do show up, then they'll tell you that you're going to get a quick dash and splash job that just uses water.

MORE

If you want a better job, you'll have to fork up more money for them to use a cleaning chemical. Or they get so many calls, they’ll book you out three months in advance and then the certificate expires. If they do show up, the job won't be guaranteed. If you complain about them to the BBB, Yelp or Google+, that’s OK. They’ll be in business tomorrow under another name as quick as you can change your socks. Then they’ll do it all over again.

One reason why they may clean for such a low price is because the cleaners are gang bangers or illegal aliens with criminal records, or they may be foreign nationals. Entering your home allows them to "case" your home to plan a future burglary or home invasion. Also,they may sell your credit card information to an identity theft ring.

So how can you avoid a bait-and-switch scam? The best protection against bait-and-switch is to ask some pointed questions before the cleaner arrives at your home. Call several local cleaning companies. If the company cannot answer simple questions, move on to another company. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Here are 10 questions you should ask:

1. Are you certified in carpet cleaning? If not, what type of formal training do you have?
2. How many years has your company been in business? ( the longer, the better)
3. Can you provide a list of references I can call?
4. Is your company drug, alcohol and criminal free? ( Companies that don’t screen their employees can put you and your loved ones at risk. To be on the safe side, DO NOT deal with companies or cleaners who don’t pre-screen and drug test their employees and who are not bonded )
5. Can you provide proof of insurance and a business license?
6. What steps will be included in your cleaning process?
7. How long will it take for the carpet to dry?
8. Do you offer free, no-obligation, on-site written quotations?
9. Do you offer a written, satisfaction or money back guarantee?
10. Can you verify that your cleaning solutions safe for my family and my pets?

After your questions have been answered, you also may what to check the firm’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. You can also check the consumer affairs department of your state’s attorney general’s office. “You’d be shocked at the number of companies that have lousy reputations when it comes to addressing consumer complaints”says Mortillaro. When you have decided on a cleaner, make sure you pay your bill with a major credit card. Sometimes it’s difficult getting a cleaner to come back to fix a problem after you’ve paid the bill .Paying by credit card will give you an option to dispute the bill if the problem is not resolved to your satisfaction.
