Stains at the soffit can involve roof-edge leakage, drainage, ventilation-related moisture, or other building conditions. Their location provides a clue, not a complete diagnosis. Painting should follow source assessment where active moisture is suspected.
What to do next
Photograph the pattern and note when it changes. Ask the relevant professional to review adjacent roof and wall details. Keep the cause, repair, and finish restoration as separate parts of the scope so appearance is not mistaken for resolution.
