Cost Factors
Your home’s layout, eave configuration, and other factors will determine the final cost of repairs and replacement. Since each situation can be vastly different, the best thing to do is get a free estimate from local roofing and siding contractors. And, don’t stop with just one estimate—it’s important to research multiple contractors and, ideally, get three to five estimates before agreeing to any work.
Linear Feet
Fascia boards are typically sold by the linear foot, for a cost between $1 and $20 per linear foot, depending on the material.
Material
Your material choice (from wood to vinyl to composite) will vary the cost.
Labor
The labor cost to install fascia runs from $6 to $20 per linear foot, but this figure varies.
Accessibility
Location and accessibility are major cost considerations, adding between 7 to 15% for hard-to-reach areas.
Painting
The total cost for painting a fascia board runs between $500 and $1,000 on average.
Gutter Placement
If you need new gutters, the price to replace them with fascia averages about $1,100.
Eave Configuration
You’ll need to budget a little extra in cases where the eave is configured with nailed-in drip edges and weather sheathing. Sometimes, soffits are attached directly to the back edge of fascia boards, which requires more time.
Drip Edges
You should inspect and replace drip edges as necessary. Drip edges are added to the roof to direct water into the gutters. Expect to pay around $1 to $2 per linear foot for these.
Extent of Damage
Have a professional roof inspector check your eaves for damage before repairing your fascia and soffits. Hiring a roof inspector costs around $125 to $135.
Removal of Old Fascia and Soffit
Expect to pay about $300 or less for isolated removal and replacement of soffit. It will cost about $3 to $7 per linear foot for removal and an additional $3 to $5.50 per linear foot for labor and materials.
