Detroit Roof Pros provides professional fascia & soffit in Detroit, MI for residential and commercial properties across southeast Michigan. There is a specific failure hiding on thousands of houses in this market and you cannot see it from the ground. Perforated aluminum soffit panels were fitted over the original solid wood soffit in the seventies and eighties, and nobody cut the wood.
So the house has vents that vent nothing at all. The perforations are real, the aluminum is real, the intake area calculated on paper looks perfectly adequate, and behind it sits a continuous painted board with no opening in it whatsoever. Every ridge vent and every roof-mounted vent installed above that soffit has spent forty years trying to draw air through a solid piece of pine.
We check it in five minutes with a mirror and a torch through one corner panel, and we check it before quoting any ventilation work at all. Cutting the wood is not difficult: a continuous slot behind the panel, held back from the wall so blown insulation cannot slide over it, with baffles set in the bays above so the path stays open once it finally exists.
The fascia work that goes with it is straightforward carpentry and we treat it that way rather than as a roofing extra. Rafter tails on these houses are usually sound where the gutter has been kept clear and rotted at the ends where it has not. We cut back to sound wood, sister where the tail is short, and replace the board rather than wrapping rot in aluminum and calling it finished.
On capping, we will do it and we will tell you the trade you are making. Aluminum coil over fascia and soffit ends the painting, which is the reason most people want it, and it also hides the next twenty years of whatever the wood is doing underneath. If your boards are sound, capping is fine. If they are marginal, replace first and cap after, or you are burying a problem.
Detail matters more than material here. The drip edge has to land on the fascia and into the gutter rather than behind it, the soffit has to be held off the wall so blown insulation cannot bridge the slot you just cut, and the frieze board joint needs sealing. Those three things decide whether an eave stays dry for thirty years, not the gauge of the aluminum.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — rafter-bay ventilation baffles, closed-cell spray polyurethane at the deck underside, knee-wall access panels, shed-dormer cheek-wall step flashing, plaster-and-lath ceiling planes, square-edge 1x6 board sheathing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Detroit and nearby communities including Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Livonia, Redford.

Materials, equipment and how we do fascia & soffit
The difference between fascia & soffit that lasts and fascia & soffit that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with rafter-bay ventilation baffles, closed-cell spray polyurethane at the deck underside, knee-wall access panels, shed-dormer cheek-wall step flashing, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Detroit job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southeast Michigan means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Detroit Chooses Detroit Roof Pros
- ✓We label every roof plane attic above or finished space above before we price anything, because that is what decides whether a repair or a replacement is the honest answer.
- ✓The inspection happens indoors as well as outdoors. A pin moisture meter on plaster at the knee-wall base finds what a scuttle-hole inspection structurally cannot reach.
- ✓Deck work is priced as its own line. Square-edge 1x6 board sheathing is renailed where sound and overlaid by the section where it is not, with the square footage stated.
- ✓Ventilation is quoted as a path, not a product. If the wood soffit behind your aluminum was never cut open, a ridge vent has been drawing on nothing for years.
The standards behind fascia & soffit
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The fascia & soffit work we do in Detroit follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every fascia & soffit project in Detroit gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
