Here, you can see another example of the soffits showing signs of water damage and rot. Vinyl soffits with facia metal wrap will remedy this issue and also have a very nice look for potential buyers.

In this picture, you can see that some of the vinyl soffits are solid and some of her perforations. These perforations are called vented soffit and the solid pieces are called the non-vented soffit. They are easy to clean and are impermeable to rot. 

Wrapping your facia wood with aluminum trim coil metal not only dresses it up but also protects it from the elements, preventing rot and water damage. It also serves as a retainer for your soffit, giving it a nice clean finished look.  Gutters will then be attached over the facia metal.
