Fascia cost: 2026 Installed Price Calculator
Mike Martin, MA CSL, is the founder and construction cost editor of RemodelingExpense. His residential construction experience informs the site’s cost research, calculators, and homeowner project guidance.
Fascia cost runs about $7 – $22 per linear foot installed, so a typical 150 linear foot project lands around $1,050 – $3,300. The final price depends on wood versus PVC or aluminum fascia, gutter removal, soffit tie-ins, rafter-tail rot, rake boards, eave height, second-story access, painting, and local labor rates.
Fascia is priced by the linear foot because it runs along roof edges, eaves, gables, and rake boards. This page focuses on fascia board replacement and wrapping, not full soffit replacement or full roof replacement.
Enter your ZIP code and linear feet to estimate your project.
Not sure what linear footage to enter? Measure the roof edges where fascia will be repaired or replaced. Include eaves, gutter runs, rake boards, and gable edges if they are part of the job.

Why your price may change
- Local labor rates vary.
- Material quality affects the price.
- Old material removal, repairs, permits, or code updates can add cost.
- Hard-to-reach areas, complex layouts, rush jobs, or premium contractors may cost more.
Estimate includes local labor adjustments and may differ slightly from rounded national cost examples.
Fascia Cost vs Value
Fascia may recover about 50%–70% of its cost.
Bottom line: Fascia replacement is more of a repair and protection project than a major curb-appeal upgrade, but it can help protect rafter tails, support gutters, and clean up roof edges.
Worth it: Homes with rotted fascia, sagging gutters, peeling trim, damaged rake boards, soffit tie-in issues, or roof-edge repairs.
Skip it: Homes where the fascia is sound and only needs minor scraping, caulking, or repainting.
ROI ranges are planning estimates and should not be treated as an appraisal. This is only an estimate. Real resale value depends on your home, neighborhood, market, project quality, and buyer demand.
Contractor Reality Check
Fascia quotes can look simple until the gutters come down. Rotted boards, damaged rafter tails, bad soffit edges, peeling paint, and second-story access can all change the price.
My rule of thumb: ask whether the quote includes gutter removal, fascia material, painting or wrapping, disposal, and any hidden wood repairs found during tear-off.
What to Confirm Before You Sign
A good quote is easy to read. If any of these are missing or vague, ask before you commit:
- Material: confirm wood, PVC, composite, aluminum-wrapped wood, or aluminum fascia.
- Linear footage: ask how many feet are included and which roof edges are covered.
- Gutters: confirm whether gutter removal, reinstallation, or replacement is included.
- Rot repair: ask how rafter-tail damage, soft fascia, and bad sheathing are priced.
- Finish: confirm paint, primer, aluminum wrap, or factory-finished material.
- Soffit tie-in: ask whether damaged soffit edges are included or priced separately.
- Buffer: budget an extra 10% to 20% for hidden rot, access issues, gutter work, or paint upgrades.
Surprise Costs That Move the Price
These are the items that push a fascia quote above the basic price range, and roughly what they add.
| Item | Why It Adds Cost | Typical Add |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter removal | Gutters often need to come off before fascia can be replaced | $2 – $6 per linear ft. |
| Rotted rafter tails | Hidden structural wood damage takes extra carpentry time | $50 – $150+ each |
| Second-story access | Ladders, staging, roof pitch, and height slow down the job | $3 – $8 per linear ft. |
| PVC or composite fascia | Rot-resistant material costs more than basic primed wood | $3 – $10 per linear ft. |
| Aluminum wrapping | Trim coil is bent over wood fascia for a lower-maintenance finish | $4 – $12 per linear ft. |
| Soffit edge repair | Damaged soffit may need to be repaired before the fascia is finished | Varies by damage |
Fascia Cost by Material
| Material | Installed Cost per linear ft. | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Primed wood fascia | $7 – $15 | Basic replacement where painting is planned |
| PVC fascia | $12 – $22 | Rot-prone areas and lower-maintenance roof edges |
| Composite fascia | $11 – $22 | Painted trim upgrades and moisture-prone areas |
| Aluminum-wrapped fascia | $10 – $24 | Covering sound wood fascia with a lower-maintenance finish |
| Rake board replacement | $8 – $22 | Gable edges and roofline trim repairs |
Fascia Cost by Project Size
Fascia is measured by linear foot, not square foot. These examples use the total length of fascia board being replaced or wrapped.
| Project Size | Estimated Installed Cost |
|---|---|
| 50 linear ft. | $350 – $1,100 |
| 100 linear ft. | $700 – $2,200 |
| 150 linear ft. | $1,050 – $3,300 |
| 200 linear ft. | $1,400 – $4,400 |
| 300 linear ft. | $2,100 – $6,600 |
Is Fascia Replacement Worth It?
Fascia replacement is worth it when the boards are rotted, peeling, pulling away from the roof edge, or no longer supporting the gutters correctly.
It may not be worth full replacement if the fascia is still solid and only needs scraping, caulking, priming, or repainting.
