Overhang Repair & Painting Services in Baton Rouge, LA

Your home's overhangs, including soffit and fascia, play a crucial role in both its structural integrity and curb appeal. They protect your roofline from water damage, provide ventilation to your attic, and contribute significantly to your home's overall aesthetic. Over time, however, these elements can suffer from wear and tear, weather exposure, and even pest damage, leading to cracks, peeling paint, and deterioration. At B&H Construction, with over 20 years of dedicated service and three generations of contracting expertise, we specialize in comprehensive overhang repair and painting services across Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and surrounding areas like Zachary, Gonzales, and Denham Springs, ensuring your home looks its best and remains well-protected.

The Critical Role of Well-Maintained Overhangs

Overhangs, comprising the soffit and fascia, are vital components of your roofing system and exterior envelope.

Fascia

The fascia board is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof, directly supporting the bottom row of roof tiles or shingles and providing a surface for attaching gutters. It serves as a critical barrier against moisture and helps protect the roof edge and interior from water damage and pests.

Soffit

The soffit is the exposed surface beneath the overhang of a roof. Often ventilated, it allows for proper airflow into your attic, preventing heat buildup and moisture accumulation, which can lead to mold, mildew, and premature roof decay.

When these components are compromised, your home becomes vulnerable to a range of issues, from water infiltration and wood rot to pest infestations and diminished curb appeal.

Our Comprehensive Overhang Repair Services

At B&H Construction, we address all common issues affecting soffit and fascia, providing durable repairs that restore their functionality and appearance.

Water Damage Repair

One of the most frequent culprits behind overhang damage is water. Leaky gutters, ice dams, or even splash-back from heavy rains can saturate fascia and soffit boards, leading to rot, warping, and deterioration. Our skilled technicians meticulously inspect for water damage, identify the source, and perform precise repairs, replacing rotten wood and ensuring proper drainage solutions are in place.

Pest and Insect Damage

Overhangs can become attractive nesting sites for pests like birds, squirrels, and insects, including termites and carpenter bees. These creatures can chew through wood, create holes, and compromise the structural integrity of your soffit and fascia. We expertly repair pest-damaged sections and can advise on preventative measures, such as installing mesh or sealing entry points, to deter future infestations.

General Wear and Tear

Exposure to the elements like sun, wind, rain, and humidity takes its toll over time. Cracks, splinters, and general decay are common. We meticulously repair or replace damaged sections, ensuring the seamless integration of new materials with existing structures for a uniform and robust finish.

Storm Damage Restoration

High winds, hail, and falling debris during severe Louisiana storms can inflict significant damage on overhangs. From detached fascia boards to shattered soffit panels, our team is equipped to handle emergency repairs, securing your home quickly and restoring its protection. We work with insurance claims to simplify the process during stressful times.

Expert Overhang Painting for Enhanced Protection and Beauty

Once repairs are complete, or if your overhangs simply need a refresh, our professional painting services provide both aesthetic enhancement and an additional layer of protection.

A high-quality paint application creates a protective barrier against moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. This barrier helps to seal the wood, preventing water absorption, deterring mold and mildew growth, and extending the lifespan of your soffit and fascia.

Peeling, faded, or dingy paint on your overhangs can significantly detract from your home's exterior appearance. Our expert painters use premium, weather-resistant paints in a wide range of colors to perfectly match or complement your home's existing palette. A fresh, clean paint job instantly boosts your property's curb appeal, leaving a lasting positive impression.

Our painting process is meticulous. We begin with thorough surface preparation, including cleaning, scraping loose paint, sanding, and priming as needed. This ensures optimal adhesion and a smooth, long-lasting finish. Our experienced painters apply paint evenly and professionally, paying close attention to detail for a flawless result.
