Common Rot Issues & Signs You Need a Professional
Fascia (board behind your gutter) and soffit (vent under the roof) are prone to rot. Damaged areas let rats and squirrels into your attic.
- Peeling Paint/Dark Spots: Water stains or crumbling wood at roof edge.
- Holes: Visible gaps where wood has rotted away.
- Loose Gutters: Falling because the rotted fascia won't hold screws.
