Residential exteriors have to work hard in Texas heat, coastal humidity, or northern freeze-thaw cycles. Aluminum fascia siding provides a sleek protective band where roof meets wall, shielding rafters from weather, insects, and rot. With CountBricks real-time estimating you’ll know the precise material quantities, labor hours, and project cost before the first ladder goes up.
Fascia is the horizontal board that caps the end of roof trusses. When it’s wrapped with roll-formed aluminum the assembly becomes aluminum fascia siding. The result is a rigid, low-maintenance skin that accepts gutters, resists corrosion, and ties your soffit and siding together for a finished look.

Weather Resistance • No swelling, splitting, or fungal growth

Lightweight Installation • Panels cut easily and reduce ladder fatigue
Eco Friendly • High recycled content and 100 % recyclability at end of life
Traditional estimating relies on tape measures and handwritten notes. CountBricks uses voice-driven AI and live materials databases to build a line-item proposal in minutes.
1. Open the CountBricks mobile app and describe the roofline dimensions.
2. AI converts speech to takeoff sketches and auto-selects compatible fascia coil, trim nails, and seam accessories.
3. Real-time pricing from regional suppliers populates the estimate, giving you current cost per linear foot rather than last quarter’s catalog figure.
4. Labor hours are matched to crew productivity data, revealing true installed cost.
• Basic 6-inch profile: $5.50 – $7.25 per linear foot installed
• Designer colors or vented builds: $7.50 – $9.00 per linear foot installed
• Historic fascia rebuilds with custom frieze: $10.00+ per linear foot installed
Regional labor rates, roof height, and tear-off complexity nudge numbers up or down. CountBricks.com/services provides instant figures for your ZIP code.
1. Remove existing wood fascia rot and verify rafter tails are square.
2. Install drip-edge flashing and ice-and-water shield per local code.
3. Measure and cut aluminum fascia pieces ¼-inch longer than the run for expansion.
4. Hook the top hem under drip edge, then nail the bottom lip with aluminum ring-shank trim nails every 16 inches.
5. Overlap joints 1 inch and seal with color-matched butyl caulk.
6. Finish corners with premade miter caps or hand-bent trims for seamless lines.

• Driving steel nails that cause galvanic corrosion
• Forgetting to back-prime raw wood before wrapping, trapping moisture
• Cutting panels too tight, leading to oil-canning in summer heat
• Skipping starter strips, allowing pests to nest at the soffit line
Aluminum fascia siding needs little upkeep beyond annual gutter cleaning. Rinse with a garden hose to remove pollen; avoid pressure washers that may dent thin gauge metal. If a branch scratches the paint, touch up with manufacturer’s spray enamel to stop oxidation.

Homeowners appreciate transparent pricing while contractors eliminate back-office bottlenecks.
The Ramirez family wanted to replace peeling wood fascia on their 2,400 sq ft McAllen home. Using CountBricks, their contractor captured roofline dimensions via smartphone in under 5 minutes. The AI budget showed 210 linear feet of 8-inch almond fascia with hidden vent slots. Material and labor totaled $1,685, only $35 off the final invoice. Installation wrapped in a single day, and the homeowners signed off through the CountBricks client portal that evening.
Choose aluminum when you need a crisp, maintenance-free edge detail and have aluminum-friendly gutters planned. For shaker-style or cedar roofs, stained wood fascia may be preferable for visual continuity. Schedule a free consult at CountBricks.com/consultation to compare options.

Not all aluminum fascia products are created equal. The thickness—measured in gauge—directly affects dent resistance and long-term rigidity. CountBricks catalogs three residential-grade options:
• 0.019 in. Standard Gauge: Ideal for single-story homes with minimal ladder traffic. Cost-effective and easy to bend on-site brakes.
• 0.024 in. Heavy Gauge: Recommended for two-story installs or high-wind zones. Adds roughly 12 % to material cost but resists oil-canning.
• 0.027 in. Premium Gauge: Best for luxury builds where perfectly flat planes and deep shadow lines matter. Often paired with designer gutter profiles.
1. Smooth Baked Enamel – Classic, uniform color; cleans with mild soap.
2. Embossed Woodgrain – Masks minor surface bumps while mimicking natural timber.
3. Metallic Flake – High-end shimmer that pairs well with modern standing-seam roofs.
CountBricks pros can send digital samples through the client portal, allowing homeowners to toggle finishes against 3D scans of their façade.
• Order gutters and fascia from the same manufacturer lot to avoid dye-lot variation
• Align fascia hem depth with soffit thickness for crisp, shadow-free transitions
• Pre-punch nail slots when working with premium gauges to prevent paint chipping
