The fascia board is the narrow band that caps the edge of a roof and supports the bottom row of shingles. When you choose aluminum fascia for a residential project, you are investing in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material that protects roof framing while delivering crisp curb appeal. A precise aluminum fascia detail ensures water is directed away from rafters, soffits, and siding—extending the lifespan of the entire building envelope. CountBricks specializes in specifying and estimating aluminum fascia assemblies for new builds and remodels across the Mid-South.
The sub-fascia is typically a 2x framing member anchored to rafter tails. Accurate nailing patterns and straight lines are essential because aluminum trim will telegraph any uneven surfaces.
CountBricks recommends a full-height self-adhered membrane over the sub-fascia to block wind-driven rain. Our AI engine automatically adds linear footage of membrane when you run a blueprint takeoff on CountBricks.com/services.
Profiles range from 6-inch to 10-inch depths. The correct aluminum fascia detail calls for:
• 0.019–0.024-inch thick alloy for optimal rigidity
• Factory-baked polyester finish in colors that match gutters and soffits
• Hemmed bottom edge to eliminate sharp corners and increase strength
The fascia should tuck neatly beneath a metal drip edge. CountBricks cost libraries include regional pricing for color-matched drip edges so you can toggle between galvanized and aluminum without manual math.

1. Capture existing eave dimensions with our mobile voice interface while onsite.
2. Let CountBricks transcribe measurements directly into a project estimate.
3. Select aluminum fascia depth, color, and thickness in the task library.
4. Review auto-generated labor hours based on roof height and crew size.
5. Approve or tweak line items; the platform recalculates margins instantly.
6. Export a branded PDF quote or push tasks straight to a purchase order.
• Material grade: Premium coated aluminum costs 8-12% more but doubles paint longevity.
• Roof complexity: Multiple gables add cutting and corner trim time; CountBricks AI adjusts labor coefficients accordingly.
• Scaffold or lift access: Tall two-story facades require additional safety setup.
• Integration with gutters: Installing new K-style gutters simultaneously reduces total mobilizations.
• Pair smooth fascia panels with vented aluminum soffit for a contemporary look.
• Specify a slightly darker fascia color than the gutter to create a shadow line.
• Add crown fascia mouldings for historic renovations—CountBricks has the moulding profiles pre-loaded in our catalog.
1. Confirm fascia laps face away from prevailing winds.
2. Check miters for tight 45-degree alignment.
3. Verify drip edge overhangs fascia hem by ½ inch.
4. Seal end caps with color-matched polyurethane.
5. Document final installation with photos uploaded to the CountBricks project dashboard.

• Skipping membrane at fascia-roof transitions can lead to rot—CountBricks flag this omission during estimate review.
• Over-nailing aluminum causes oil-canning—our labor notes remind crews to leave a paper-thin gap beneath nail heads.
• Ignoring thermal expansion on long runs invites buckling—CountBricks inserts an expansion clip line item automatically when lengths exceed 40 feet.
Yes, but CountBricks recommends isolating the aluminum from tannin-rich cedar with a peel-and-stick separator to prevent corrosion.
An average 2,400-square-foot home requires one to two crew days. The exact duration is pre-calculated in your CountBricks schedule.
CountBricks catalogs over 30 manufacturer color codes and can custom-order coil within five business days.

A recent homeowner needed peeling wooden fascia replaced before listing the property. Using CountBricks, the contractor completed the entire project in four days—two for planning, two for installation.
1. Day 1 morning: The contractor used the CountBricks mobile app to voice-record 278 feet of fascia, five inside corners, and two story heights.
2. Day 1 afternoon: CountBricks generated a live estimate featuring 0.024-inch aluminum coil, concealed clips, and vented soffits. The homeowner signed digitally that evening.
3. Day 2: Materials were sourced through a CountBricks-connected supplier at updated market pricing, eliminating last-minute cost surprises.
4. Days 3-4: A three-person crew followed the aluminum fascia detail checklist from the proposal, completing installation ahead of schedule.
• 12% reduction in material waste thanks to precise coil calculations
• Zero change orders, because labor and accessory items were accounted for in the initial CountBricks estimate
• Listing photos showcased clean roof lines, helping the homeowner secure an above-asking offer
• Measure rake and eave edges separately—voice notes let CountBricks apply different labor factors automatically.
• Batch color selections for fascia, soffit, and gutters to unlock supplier volume discounts reflected in real-time within the platform.
• Upload completion photos to CountBricks.com/portfolio to build a visual library that impresses future clients.
