I will be ordering soffit and fascia boards next week to cover the existing boards ..
What I would like to know from the roofing experts and folks who have already done this job is ..
Is it alright to put the new soffits straight onto the existing ones , then cover the existing fascia boards with new fascia boards straight onto them using poly pins...
I ask because I heard before that some people have used wood battens onto the existing soffits before applying the new soffits onto the battens..
I cannot see what that achieves apart from lowing the soffits off the old soffits, if it is for ventilation the old soffits have none anyway, nor do the fascia boards.
Will doing the work this way be alright or what would you do..
