Fascia & Soffit Repair in Kenmore, WA
Roof-edge repair: fascia, soffit and rafter tails rebuilt and ready for gutters. When gutters overflow or the roof has no drip edge, the roof edge gets soaked every storm and slowly rots. We replace damaged fascia, soffits and rafter tails, add drip edge and venting, and leave a solid edge ready for your gutters. We serve homeowners across Kenmore and nearby Bothell and Lake Forest Park.

Why fascia and soffit repair comes up so often in Kenmore
Fir and cedar trees around Kenmore homes fill gutters with needles every fall, and overflowing gutters soak the fascia and sub-fascia behind them. On lakefront homes, wind pushes rain up under the drip edge. We find rotted fascia, soft rafter tails and stained soffits on many Kenmore houses. We replace the rotted wood, repair rafter ends, add drip edge, and make sure the gutters are hung and pitched to carry water away instead of into the trim.
Kenmore wraps around the north tip of Lake Washington where the Sammamish River flows in. Most of its homes were built from the 1960s through the 1980s: split-levels, ramblers and two-story houses on wooded slopes in Inglewood, Arrowhead, Moorlands and Uplake, with lakefront and view homes along the Juanita Drive side. Cedar lap, hardboard and T1-11 siding are common, and many homes have large decks facing the lake or the woods. Newer townhomes and apartments have gone up near downtown Kenmore and along Bothell Way, mixing modern construction into an older housing stock.
Kenmore gets weather from two directions. Homes near the lake catch wind-driven rain and fog rolling off Lake Washington, which hits lakeside walls and decks hard. Up the hills, tall evergreens keep siding and decks shaded, and moss grows quickly on north-facing surfaces. The Sammamish River valley at the city’s low end holds morning fog and damp air. Steady winter rain on wooded slopes means many Kenmore homes stay wet on at least one side from fall through spring.

Neighborhoods and permits in Kenmore
Homes along Juanita Drive and the lakefront take wind and spray off Lake Washington, so view decks and lakeside walls wear quickly. Inglewood and Arrowhead are hilly and heavily treed, with shade and moss on north walls and decks. Moorlands and Uplake are steep in places, sending runoff toward the uphill side of houses. Neighborhoods near Saint Edward State Park have mature forest close to the homes, while downtown has newer, denser construction.
Small like-for-like repairs usually don’t require a permit, while structural work, new decks and larger replacements usually do. The City of Kenmore handles residential permits, and lakefront or steep-slope lots can involve extra review. We check with the City of Kenmore before starting and keep you informed about what the job needs.
