The eaves are the edges of the roof which overhang the face of a wall and normally project beyond the side of a building. The eaves form an overhang and may be made of wood or stucco as part of an architectural style.
Note: This option usually saves time and money when painting the eaves the same color as the body (stucco or siding). This allows for the same color and paint on the body to wrap up underneath the eaves.
