To avoid any additional costs for water damage repairs, your home needs roof eaves. Roof eaves have many purposes, such as keeping rainwater from collecting on the building. Here is some more information:

What Are Eaves?

The eaves are the outermost boards of a roof that extend over the sides and facades of walls. Some may even hang slightly off the edge. This way, they can prevent water from seeping in near where the roof meets the wall – solving two issues at once.

Eaves come in all sorts of designs, each with a different purpose. Some might be used to add aesthetic value to a structure, while others are more functional. This essential component of the roof must be installed correctly to avoid birds from nesting and water damage.

Are Soffits and Eaves the Same?

Eaves are the edges of a roof that extend further than the side of a building, while soffits refer to the extension of the fascia board under an overhang.

Categories Of Eaves

There are four categories of eaves:

  • Soffited
  • Exposed
  • Boxed in
  • Abbreviated
