At Toiture MR Inc., we take care of manufacturing, repairing and installing soffits and fascias. We are equipped to carry out all types of work, whether repairing damages, replacing worn parts or installing customized ventilation systems adapted to the needs of your residential or commercial roof.
What Is a Soffit?
Soffits are essential components of your roof. They are aluminum sheets that are located under the edge of your roof, that are cut and placed side by side. Vented soffits are perforated to let the air in, and they are often found on shingle roofs and other types of sloped roof. In order for the ventilation system to work, soffits must have intake and exhaust vents. Soffits fulfill three main functions: ventilation, protection and visual appeal.
What Is a Fascia?
Fascias and soffits are complementary: the fascias on your roof work together with the soffits to provide proper ventilation and prevent water infiltration. “Fascia” is an architectural term that refers to the vertical frieze or forward-facing trim that forms the outer surface of the cornice. Generally, fascias are between 4 and 6 inches in length and are located behind the gutters. They are painted in a colour that matches the rest of the house.
How Do You Properly Maintain Your Soffits and Fascias?
The best way to take proper care of your soffits and fascias is to clean the gutters regularly, since the gutters are responsible for most of the dirt. Next, check your gutters for visible signs of damage, such as holes and rust. Finally, make sure no small creatures have made their nests in the soffits, since they can cause significant damage.
Fascias and soffits that are damaged or that have not been properly installed can lead to problems such as wood rot, water infiltration, pest infestation and bad air circulation in the attic. That is why it is recommended to have them regularly inspected by qualified professionals.
If your fascias and soffits show signs of imperfection, wear and tear or if you suspect that they might need to be replaced, contact us for a free evaluation. Call us at 438-395-0297 or fill out our contact form.
Roof Caulking: An Additional Service
Caulking is a technique that involves applying waterproof material on the joints and fissures around doors, windows and other openings. Regular caulking helps maintain a waterproof barrier between your house and the outside. Regular caulking allows you to:
- Prevent air and water leaks.
- Minimize heat loss and risks of damages.
- Save money and electricity on heating and air conditioning.
- Improve sound insulation by reducing outside noise.
Our roofers on the North Shore of Montréal offer high-quality caulking services to protect your home from air and water infiltration. We are well equipped to diagnose problems, recommend the proper solutions and carry out the required work.
We use top-quality materials to ensure a perfect seal and an attractive finish. We can also take care of the cleaning and preparation work to improve the caulk’s adherence and durability.
Thanks to our cutting-edge tools and techniques, we work safely and deliver high-quality services. We are proud to offer reliable and affordable services to our clients. There are several types of caulking available, including acrylic, silicone or polyurethane caulking. The choice will depend on the surface requiring caulking and the weather conditions in your area. For example, acrylic caulking is ideal for interior surfaces, while silicone caulking is better adapted for exterior surfaces.
