Quality roofing material and expert installation are. Hip roofs have a continuous cornice that extends completely around the building. The hanging rake then locks with the soffit and fascia or opens to the left. Before the roof sheathing goes on the open framing provides easy access for attaching the return blocking and the nailers for the rake soffit.

Rake boards are installed on the gable ends of brick houses to cover the exposed top edge of the brick. A gable roof has a cornice along the side walls formed at the rafter ends. The good news is unlike most roof repairs you can fix an eave or gable overhang rake without climbing onto the roof. The rake board covers the top edge of the siding where it meets the roof or soffit if there is an overhang on the gable end and prevents rain from running behind it.

The rake can be smooth without the overhang or it can lift the gable end like an eave. Trust our experts to replace your roof.
