Thank you for doing this video.
As a single mom, who's caring full-time for my Mother with Alzheimers, I greatly appreciate this so I can fix the corner soffit at my house!
I like the instructions on how to replace the soffit. I recommend using pressure treated wood or a non wood panel (pvc foam board or fiber cement board for example) - for both the panel and trim - if you want it to last a lot longer. It's a little more expensive that way, but will last a LOT longer if the area leaks again. PVC foam board is more expensive, but is a lot easier to work with than fiber cement board.
I've seen people use natural, untreated wood for door and window trim, and it's almost like a ritual every two years to replace all of it. Why??? Just use something that will hold up better instead of untreated natural wood. Example: I had to replace my garage door trim about 15 years ago. I used the PVC foam bard. It's still like new 15 years later. It's exposed to a lot of sun and weather too.
Great video! Appreciate the cameraman getting all angles!
You removed "3/8 inch material" - I looked at the video, it looks exactly like the cardboard-ish 3/8" soffit material on a place we're working at (in Florida). I've searched and am not finding that 3/8" cardboard-ish material, which makes sense, it looks cheap as heck, it swells noticeably when it gets damp then it bows. I suspect that product is not being made anymore.
I'm probably going to replace it with 3/8" plywood because the original installation has metal (aluminum) brackets that the pieces of soffit fit into, and I want to re-use those brackets for the sake of keeping the original look and alignment of the parts.
You did a great job - it looks nice - congratulations, glad to see someone else replacing that old cardboard stuff with plywood.
.
Great job ! This has to be done frequently up here in the Buffalo, NY area. The water, snow and ice cause damage like that a lot. Excellent method and logic used - it looked great in both places !
This is a great video! Step by step instructions are on point. Thank you for taking the time in doing this.
Great Job!!! Very thorough step by step tutorial!!
Thank you so much! First and only video I need to watch! Great job!
Very informative, you make it look so easy. Thanks for the tips!
Great job! One thing I do on repairs like this is to cover the butt joint between the 2 pieces of 1/4" soffit with a length of screen mold...
This is exactly what I was looking for. We have three gables with rot. Cheap material was used.
Thank you so much for posting this video😁👍🏻
Great job and explanation! Curious though, with that kind of rot wouldn’t you investigate the source of the leak and fix that before fixing the cosmetic damage?
Nicely done!
Good video. Gonna help me a lot on my folks house!
Nicely executed.
Nice job. Very creative work.
Great job.
Glad I found your video! Our soffit is in the same condition and now I see we don't have to replace the entire board...
Thanks for this. Now I am about to go replace some soffet on my house.
Excellent work!
Thank you sir.
I used bondo to feather the trim around my garage door. I know it’s overkill but almost everything I do is. As always great job!
Thank you sir! I also have used bondo on wood product as well. It works great and holds up too.
Whats cool about this is he had to create a way to fix this without replacing the entire run of sofit
How long did it take to that section
No one will notice that repair except you and the owner. I leave a little hole/gap at the lowest corner for drainage. So was the leak fixed?
What type of board is that? Is it soffit or regular plywood
He said plywood
I have the same problem but what do you think caused that part to rot out
A leak that you have on the roof
I'm wondering what you are standing on to do this repair. Looked like the ladder was over to the side.
Scaffold?
It doesn't appear that you did anything to address the water that was the original cause of the damage. Isn't this just going to keep happening?
What if there was squirrels in their what would you do
That's the problem I have. Squirrels chewed the under side of my porch in multiple spots 🙄 so I have to replace a 12ft soffit, or whatever the ceiling of a porch is called. 🙄
You didn't show us the caulking :(
that gap ! 12:37....you filled it with what?
He filled it with caulk
Wood putty would have been a far better solution.
this is a good video but the lighting makes it very difficult to see.
Why not just duct tape the 1/4 inch plywood to existing soffit?
OMG. When are Americans going to realise it is easier to use metric measurments.
Old habits die hard. It was supposed to happen before I got out of high school (decades ago). I used to teach metric in math and science classes and the students loved how easy it was to switch units!
When hell gets to 0 Celsius.
Never. We tried it once in the 1970s and no-one liked it.
