Remove Soffit To Make Room For Room Addion Roof

The vinyl soffit uses no fasteners.

Remove soffit to make room for room addion roof. Be prepared to remove a ton of drywall. Pull the soffit panels out of the metal or vinyl holding that attaches to the house. Take caution to avoid those spaces you marked as untouchable. Remove any nails that remain in the rafters that can prevent the new soffit from fitting flat against the surface.

Most of the drywall will reveal empty space underneath it though. Don t hammer into the vents or important wiring. Typically the panels are not secured. Removing soffits can be a messy process.

Locate the end of the bad soffit board and pry away the entire strip. Remove the screws holding the soffit panels to the underside of the roof. Remove the molding and fascia to gain access to the soffit. Slide vinyl soffit out like a puzzle piece.

Examine them for any damage or rotting wood.
