Remove soffit to make room for room addion roof.

Pull the soffit panels out of the metal or vinyl holding that attaches to the house. Instead the soffit fits in between two channels like a puzzle piece. Take caution to avoid those spaces you marked as untouchable. Vinyl soffits are the portion under the roof eaves between the wall of your home and the edge of the roof.

Examine them for any damage or rotting wood. The vinyl soffit uses no fasteners. Most of the drywall will reveal empty space underneath it though. Remove the molding and fascia to gain access to the soffit.

Removing soffits can be a messy process. Removing vinyl soffits for replacement or repairs requires a helper to hold the ladder while you work. Remove any nails that remain in the rafters that can prevent the new soffit from fitting flat against the surface. Slide vinyl soffit out like a puzzle piece.

Locate the end of the bad soffit board and pry away the entire strip.
