Hi all,
I have a 1970s built 2-story colonial. On the rear and front of the house, the 2nd story extends out from the 1st story wall by about 24" and is about 20' long.
As far as I can tell, this soffit goes directly into the joists/subfloor below the 2nd story bedrooms/areas.
I'm planning on having my siding re-done, during which time they'd re-clad the soffits. I'm thinking about having them add a 1-2" hard-foam board before re-cladding to add an additional r-4 to r-8 value in that space.
Any thoughts on this? I can't seem to find any directly analogous situations anywhere online

P.s. These soffits are not accessible attic space, nor are they vented.
