How much does soffit and fascia cost?
Short answer. Soffit and fascia work ranges from a few hundred dollars for a short section of rotted fascia and soffit to several thousand dollars to replace or wrap both around an entire house. The price depends on the linear feet of eave, the material (vinyl, aluminum, or wood), the height of the house, and how much rotted wood is found underneath.
What is being priced
- Fascia: the vertical board at the ends of the rafters where gutters attach. Rotted wood is replaced, then often wrapped in painted aluminum coil so it never needs paint again.
- Soffit: the horizontal panel under the overhang. Vinyl and aluminum are the most common replacements; wood and fiber cement cost more to install and paint.
- Gutters: usually have to come down and go back up, which adds labor, or are replaced at the same time.
What pushes the price up
- Two story eaves, steep slopes, or difficult access.
- Hidden rot in rafter tails or sub fascia that must be sistered or replaced.
- Many corners, dormers, and short runs, which take more cutting than long straight eaves.
- Vented soffit panels and baffles to restore attic intake.
- Animal damage repairs, such as chewed openings and nests.
Insurance
Storm damage to soffit and fascia, such as wind tearing panels loose or a fallen limb, may be covered as part of a homeowners claim. Rot from long term moisture and damage from rodents or other pests is commonly excluded. Check your policy.
Get it scoped properly
Ask for linear footage, material, color, whether gutters are removed and reinstalled, and how rotted wood will be priced when found. Fix the cause too, since missing drip edge and overflowing gutters are the usual sources of fascia rot. See drip edge explained and gutter sizing, seamless gutters, and guards.
