Erie Premium Roofing provides professional fascia & soffit in Erie, PA for residential and commercial properties across northwestern Pennsylvania. On most houses here this is carpentry, not trim replacement, and the price reflects that. A boxed cornice is a built assembly with lookouts, a plancier and a frieze, rather than one board screwed across the rafter tails.
Water is what kills it, and it nearly always arrives from above rather than from weather. A hanger loosens, the trough tips a fraction, and everything running off the roof goes behind the board instead of into the gutter. End grain at a miter drinks it first. By the time paint lifts, the wood behind is soft a foot in each direction and the rot has usually reached the lookouts, which hold the cornice out from the wall.
We take the old material out rather than skinning over it. Aluminum wrapped across a soft board buys five quiet years and doubles the eventual bill, and on this housing stock it is the single most common thing we find on opening an eave. Replacement goes back as primed finger-jointed stock, or cellular trim where exposure is punishing, sealed on every face including the ends before it leaves the ground.
An open cornice is also the one cheap chance to fix intake ventilation. A house built without a vented soffit will never get one economically at any other moment, and while the assembly is apart the extra cost is small. We raise it whether or not ventilation was on your list, and drop it without argument if the answer is no.
Fastener choice matters more here than people expect. Stainless or hot-dipped only, because electroplated screws bleed rust through fresh paint within two seasons in lake air. Every board joint gets a slip of membrane behind it, so water that does find a way in has somewhere to go besides into the end grain of the next piece. It is a small detail that decides whether the next repair is in eight years or thirty.
Sequence this with the roof or with the gutters, never alone once both are finished. The gutter hangs on this board and the drip edge tucks behind it, so doing it afterward means removing a run of trough and lifting the first course of shingles again. Folded into one visit it costs a fraction, and it is your only chance to photograph the rafter tails before the assembly closes for another eighty years.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 1x6 plank sheathing laid with gaps between the boards, cut nails holding original decking to rough-sawn rafters, synthetic underlayment held down with capped ring-shank fasteners, self-adhered eave membrane lapped up the rake on steep planes, closed cornice eaves built with no soffit cavity to vent, step flashing let into a raked mortar joint with lead wedges — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Erie and nearby communities including Millcreek Township, Harborcreek Township, Fairview Township, Northwest Harborcreek.

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 1x6 plank sheathing laid with gaps between the boards, cut nails holding original decking to rough-sawn rafters, synthetic underlayment held down with capped ring-shank fasteners, self-adhered eave membrane lapped up the rake on steep planes, 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 Erie 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 northwestern Pennsylvania means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Erie Chooses Erie Premium Roofing
- ✓Every estimate carries the rafter depth, spacing, clear span and sheathing type we measured, because no permit file will ever record them for you
- ✓We count the layers that come off and photograph the bare deck, so the one moment your roof is visible is not the one moment nobody documented
- ✓We quote the deck separately from the covering, since on a 1920s plank roof the boards are the real variable and hiding them in a lump sum is how bids stop being comparable
- ✓No overlays. A second layer over plank sheathing conceals the only thing worth looking at and shortens the fastener grip the wind rating depends on
The standards behind fascia & soffit
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The fascia & soffit work we do in Erie 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 Erie 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.
