Gilroy Roof Pros provides professional fascia & soffit in Gilroy, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Santa Clara Valley. The eave is where a roof meets the wall, and where most of this city's rot lives. On Gilroy's post-1990 tract stock it is usually a boxed soffit with a continuous vent strip and a stucco or fiber cement return, which hides damage beautifully until a screwdriver goes into it.
Water gets in there two ways. From above, when the last two feet of underlayment sat wet all winter because there was no anti-ponding riser at the tile eave and the felt drained into the gutter instead of over it. Or from the front, when a gutter has been quietly overtopping into the fascia for a decade and the paint film held on just long enough to disguise the damage.
We probe rather than guess. Fascia is checked at the fasteners and at every joint, the soffit is opened where the vent strip meets the return, and the rafter tail or truss tail behind it gets looked at properly, because that is the piece that actually matters structurally. Rotten fascia is a nuisance and an expense. A rotten tail is structure, and it is carrying the eave end of a very heavy roof.
Repairs get done with back-primed material and proper fasteners driven into sound wood, not filler and a coat of paint over the top. Where a fascia has to come off anyway, we take the opportunity to correct the gutter backing at the same time, because reattaching a brand new gutter to the same tired board is throwing money away twice over.
There is a load angle here as well, and it is why we care more about this than a painter would. On a tile roof the eave carries the heaviest concentration of covering anywhere on the plane, since the eave course is often doubled and set up on a riser. A compromised tail at that location is a considerably worse problem on a nine-pound roof than on a three-pound one.
If you are in the Residential Hillside zone on the west side of town, the eave assembly is a fire detail as well as a water detail, and open rafter tails with an unenclosed soffit are the classic ember trap. Enclosing them in fiber cement with a listed vent is a modest, unglamorous job that materially changes the exposure.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 26-gauge galvanized wall and roof intersection flashing, net free ventilating area at a one-to-150 ratio — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gilroy and nearby communities including Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista.

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 assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 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 Gilroy 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 the South Santa Clara Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
