Soffit and Fascia Replacement Cost (2026)

Soffit and fascia replacement costs $6 to $25 per linear foot installed in 2026, which is roughly $2,000 to $8,000 for an average house. Material choice, the home's height and roofline complexity, and rot behind the existing boards drive the number.

Cost breakdown

• Aluminum or vinyl soffit and fascia: $6-$14 per linear foot.
• Wood (primed pine or cedar): $10-$22 per linear foot.
• Composite / PVC trim board: $15-$25 per linear foot.
• Two-story or steep roofline: add 20-40% for staging and access.
• Rotted rafter tails or sheathing: $15-$40 per linear foot to repair, found during removal.
• Wrapping existing fascia in aluminum (no tear-off): $6-$12 per linear foot, cosmetic only.

What actually drives the price

Total linear footage of eaves and rakes is the base. Material, home height and access (ladder vs staging vs lift), roofline complexity (dormers, multiple gables, and corners slow the work), and the condition of the framing behind the boards all matter. Water damage from failed gutters or ice dams often means rotted rafter tails that aren't visible until the old fascia comes off.

Check the gutters and the rot risk first

Soffit and fascia damage is almost always a water story — overflowing or pitched-wrong gutters, ice dams, or missing drip edge. Photos of the eaves, the gutters, and any peeling paint or staining tell you whether this is a clean swap or a repair job with framing work hiding inside it.

Scoping this job from photos

The visible factors — size, access, condition, and finish level — are usually enough for a first-pass range from a few photos and a short description of what the customer wants. A final walkthrough is still worth doing before a firm number, since what's behind walls, underground, or under a surface can't be seen in a photo. Fast Snap Pro lets a customer send photos and describe the job so you can return a realistic starting range before scheduling the on-site visit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does soffit and fascia replacement cost in 2026?

$6 to $25 per linear foot, or $2,000 to $8,000 for a typical house, depending on material and access.

Should soffit and fascia be replaced with the roof or gutters?

Ideally yes — the crew is already up there and the drip edge, gutters, and fascia all tie together, so bundling avoids a second mobilization.

What's hiding behind old fascia?

Often rotted rafter tails or roof sheathing edges from years of gutter overflow — repair runs $15 to $40 per linear foot and is usually found only after removal.

Can this be quoted from photos?

A range can, from photos of the eaves, roofline, gutters, and any visible damage, plus the linear footage; framing rot is confirmed at removal.
