Costs to replace and install fascia boards

Determining the total cost to replace the fascia board along your gutter depends on a few different factors, such as:

  • Location
  • Style of fascia
  • Amount of material needed
  • Angles
  • Accessibility
  • If you are hiring a professional
  • If you are replacing the gutters and soffits at the same time

Our handy calculator can help you estimate the cost to replace the fascia board along your gutters, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $600 to $942, depending on the linear feet needed and which material you choose.

Types of fascia boards

Before you establish the average cost to replace the deck fascia board or the fascia board anywhere else on your property, you should figure out what type of material you want to use. By getting that decision out of the way first, you can establish a budget before you go shopping and streamline the project by having a plan in place before installation begins.

Fascia and boards and soffits are available in several materials, such as wood, vinyl, aluminum, or composites. Aluminum and vinyl both offer a high degree of durability and require little maintenance, while wood can be painted any color to match the aesthetic of your home and increase its curb appeal.

Here’s a quick run-down of the characteristics of each material, including their average cost:

Wood

Wood offers the cheapest average cost to replace fascia boards, coming in at $1 to $7.20, depending on the quality. Cedar and redwood are both popular choices for fascia boards — whether or not you choose painted or stained — since they have a natural resistance to moisture and rot.  Woods like cedar complement wood siding, stone, or brick. Fir, pine, or spruce are other popular choices for fascia boards, though these may need to be treated to be rot-resistant. Wood fascia boards are highly customizable since they can be painted to match or accent the color of your house.

Vinyl and Aluminum

Vinyl and aluminum fascia boards offer the benefit of being low-maintenance options that never need to be painted or otherwise treated. Simply choose the color and style that matches or accents the rest of your house, and you’ve got an attractive fascia installation that will last for years. The material costs for vinyl fascia boards is between $2 and $4 per linear foot, while the cost for aluminum fascia boards is between $1 and $4.

Composite

Otherwise known as “Hardie boards,” composite fascia boards are made with recycled wood fiber bonded with epoxy resin. Although composite fascia boards tend to be more costly than other materials, averaging between $1 and $8 per linear foot, they are highly durable and can be customized to any color. That said, composite materials can be difficult to paint, so it's best if you paint a complete fascia replacement all at one time. Alternatively, you can find composite fascia boards that match your gutters and soffit without the need to paint.

Fascia MaterialsAverage CostLowest CostHighest Cost
Wood$2.00$1.00$3.00
Composite$4.50$1.00$8.00
Vinyl$6.50$5.00$8.00
Aluminum$14.00$8.00$20.00

Labor costs for repairing and replacing fascia boards

The typical labor costs to replace fascia boards start at around $6 per linear foot, but that number will be higher if there are awkward angles, hard-to-reach places, or any detail that can make the job difficult. You can expect to pay at least $600 to repair just the fascia, or up to $6000 if you intend to include soffit repair. Naturally, the cost to replace the fascia and the soffit are higher than simply repairing them. For example, the material and labor costs involved in replacing a wood fascia often run just under $1000 in total.

Replacing the soffit and fascia boards together

The soffit is the facing on the underside of the roof overhang, between the eave and the outer walls. It’s generally the same style and color as the siding on the walls and provides the necessary airflow between the roof and attic to prevent mold from forming or keep creatures from nesting there. Soffit and fascia boards are often installed or repaired simultaneously since they both intend to support the guttering. What distinguishes soffit from fascia boards is simply their direction: soffit faces the ground, while fascia boards face outward.

Types of soffit

Soffits and fascias are typically the same material and color to create a nice, polished look. Like fascia boards, soffits can be found in wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite materials, and PVC. PVC soffits are maintenance-free but tend to be more costly than the other materials, with a variation of $3 to $7 per linear foot. PVC soffits are gaining in popularity, but they haven’t yet reached the popularity of the materials listed below.

Wood soffit

Like fascia boards, soffits can be made from cedar, redwood, pine, spruce, or fir. Soffit can be made from rot-resistant cedar or redwood and pine or spruce. There are many wood soffits material options that will put a beautiful finishing touch on your home renovation.

Vinyl or aluminum soffit

Vinyl and aluminum soffits can be selected to match the siding on your home and are a durable and low-maintenance choice. These material choices are both extremely resistant to mold or rot and will last a long time.

Hire a professional or DIY?

Repairing or replacing your fascia boards and soffit yourself can save you a lot of money, if you have the necessary skills and tools. If you don’t have the right tools to install fascia boards or soffit, you can still save money by removing the old material yourself and then having a professional do the installation. The cost of labor can run from $6 to $20 per linear foot, so you will need to bear that in mind when considering whether to hire a professional or complete the installation yourself.
