Older Urbandale Eaves
About a third of Urbandale’s 18,490 homes were built before 1980, many on the east side near Douglas Avenue and Walker Johnston Park. Their wood soffit and fascia have been painted many times, and where paint failed or gutters overflowed, the wood has softened. Newer homes on the Dallas County side usually need less work, but valley overflow and ice dams can still damage fascia.

Fixing the Cause, Not Just the Board
Rot comes back if the cause stays. Before we replace soffit or fascia, we look at the gutters, drip edge, roof edge and attic ventilation. Sometimes the fix includes a larger gutter, a new downspout or opening blocked soffit vents, so the new trim lasts.
Animals in the Eaves
Mature trees on the older blocks give squirrels and birds an easy route to the roof edge, and rotted soffit corners give them a way in. We replace the damaged wood and seal the gaps. If animals are already in the attic, have them removed first.

Urbandale Soffit & Fascia Repair FAQ
How can I tell if my Urbandale soffit or fascia is rotted?
Peeling paint, dark stains, soft spots, sagging soffit panels or gutters pulling away are common signs. Much of the rot hides behind the gutter, so we check it up close.
What causes fascia rot?
Usually overflowing or leaking gutters, ice dams, missing drip edge or failed paint. We fix the cause as well as the wood so the problem does not come back.
Do older Urbandale homes have enough attic ventilation?
Many do not. Solid wood soffits or vents blocked by insulation limit airflow, which can cause moisture and ice dams. We check ventilation during the estimate.
Can you keep squirrels out of my eaves?
We replace rotted wood and seal the gaps animals use. If they are already inside, have them removed first, and then we close the openings.
Should I do soffit and fascia with new siding?
Often, yes. It gives you a matched exterior and fixes hidden rot in one project. See our Urbandale siding page.
Can storms damage soffit and fascia?
Yes. Wind can loosen soffit panels and falling limbs can break trim. We document storm damage with dated photos.
How long does soffit and fascia work take?
Small repairs can take a few hours, and full replacement around a house usually takes one to a few days.
Does my Urbandale HOA have rules for trim colors?
Some neighborhoods do. Check your HOA guidelines and we will match them.
