The basic function of a gutter is to provide a channel for redirecting water. They are designed specifically to reduce erosion by guiding water to a drain or safe area.

Soffit is not only for aesthetics but has functional purpose as well. It protects your rafters from the elements. This reduces the chance of moisture and mold, while preserving the life of the building materials. Soffit also helps prevent rodents or unwanted pests from gaining access.

Fascia is the area of siding directly above the soffit and just below the drip edge. Fascia also plays a role in protecting the home from moisture or water intrusion.
