I am "Ronnie Soffit". Don't put it off even one more day. Call or text me NOW!

(813) 531-4823. I usually respond to a text message within the hour.


Many times I come to your home the same day you contact me. I have been vaccinated & have had a booster vaccination as well. I wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines. I will give you a totally FREE estimate for new soffit & fascia, siding and gutter. I will also be happy to show you exactly what work is needed & will explain the process that we will follow to upgrade your attic ventilation. A "sick home" that smells of mildew & is growing black mold can be deadly! New vented soffit panel can save your life...


It is never going to be cheaper to have the soffit & fascia on your home replaced NOW. Materials have gone up close to 40% in the past year! We are looking at yet another price increase in February 2022.


Look around at all of the new construction. This building boom has caused supply & demand of materials to be a major issue. It is getting difficult to obtain materials at any price.


The vented soffit panel on your home is most likely plugged up from being painted shut! In 2021, close to 60% of our work was replacing vented soffit panel on homes that were just a few years old. Someone selling their 6 year old home will paint the soffit panel and fascia to make the home look awesome. Unfortunately, the buyer has no clue that the freshly painted soffit panel is ruined & must be replaced!


One customer with a two month old home in North Tampa, wanted dark brown soffit panel to match her brown window frames & brown front door. A painter with 30 years experience painted the new vented white soffit panel dark brown. Within two days the homeowner called the AC repairman to fix the ac unit blowing hot air. The AC tech informed the lady that the attic was over 160 degrees! The AC unit was working perfectly. The homeowner was forced to open the fold-down door (in her garage) that goes into her attic. The homeowner held the painting contractor liable for painting the vented soffit panel shut.


The customer contacted me & we installed new vented brown soffit panel and new brown "woodgrain" fascia metal. Instantly, the home cooled down & the ac unit is working as it should. The painting contractor paid our invoice and said he knew better than to paint the soffit & fascia, but he did it anyway?


If you purchased a previously owned home, there is a good possibility that dirt, pollen, attic insulation, & all sorts of other debris has clogged the soffit ventilation over the years. If your home is around 15 years old, or older, I guarantee you the vented soffit panel is clogged!


When your soffit vents are clogged, your attic area can not exchange "super-heated" air for fresh air. When your soffit vents are shut closed for any reason the ambient temperature in the attic can reach 165 degrees or hotter! The AC ductwork simply can NOT deliver cold air conditioning to the living area of the home. This causes your home ac unit to run continuously and never really cool the home properly. The AC unit will have a very short lifetime & electric bills will be extremely high in Summer months.


Blocked soffit ventilation, will also not allow condensation that forms every night when the sun goes down. This condensation is formed when your hot attic cools off at night. Condensation (fog) naturally rolls into the soffit area. Properly vented soffit allows the condensation to evaporate. If your soffit panel is plugged up, the condensation turns to mildew, or deadly black mold. This mold will grow in the walls of your home and can cause serious respiratory issues which can result in death!


When soffit panel is clogged up & your attic is 165 degrees at noon, the shingles literally fry! If you go outside and look at your shingle roof from the ground and you see the shingles curled up on the edges and resemble "potato chips", you can be assured your attic does not properly exchange air. A 30 year shingle roof will need to be replaced in 10 to 15 years. The shingles become brittle and cracked & soon the roof leaks when it rains.


All that we do at "Siding, Soffit & Fascia Of Tampa" is soffit & fascia repair & replacement. We also supply & install exterior siding & seamless gutter. We also occasionally build, or rebuild screen rooms & sunrooms.


I will come to your home personally & present you with a very fair estimate. Once you decide to hire us to perform your work, we sign a contract, collect a deposit for materials & purchase the materials immediately. As long as the materials are in stock, or as soon as they arrive at our Tampa supply houses, we perform your job as soon as possible. We may be backed up a week or two ( hopefully ).

When I sell a job to a customer that comes to me via the Internet, I sell that job a a "filler job". What this means is that between my salesperson's "retail sales", I have gaps in scheduled jobs. This requires that I have "filler jobs", to keep my installers working steadily. I save you the salesperson's 20% commission! We usually perform all "filler jobs" immediately, or within a week or so.


Our RETAIL sales are mostly all new "High End", construction. This is because we are properly insured, I pay my installers more than any other company in the area. Hence, I only employ the very best craftsmen in the industry! Doing work for general contractors is our bread & butter.


Doing repairs & "upgrades" for folks on their homes keeps my installers working steadily. My installers get paid the same if they do a 3 story new home on the beach, as they do for working on your home. The savings to the homeowner is the 20% sales commission that we don't need to cover! I own the company so I don't get paid a salesman's commission.


I have been selling, supplying, & installing soffit & fascia since 1985 and I have been involved in thousands of jobs. New siding, soffit & fascia, will not only make your home beautiful, but new soffit & fascia will allow your attic to naturally stay at close to the temperature outside. I will happily come to your home or business to supply you with a very fair quote & I will be happy to walk around your home with you to assess your needs while explaining to you exactly the work that we will perform on your home.


I only employ the very best installers and we supply only the best materials. All installers are insured and have decades of experience.


We will NEVER be the cheapest price! If all you are doing is "flipping" a home please don't waste my time. There are contractors with no insurance that pay illegal aliens cash money. The materials they supply is the cheapest junk they can find. You must be very careful. Florida is now flooded with criminals that take your materials deposit and they disappear. You then end up paying twice for the job!
