When the edges of your roof show peeling paint, sagging gutters, or water stains on the eaves, it is usually time to replace the fascia boards and soffit. While national averages can give you a ballpark number, homeowners in the Dallas–Fort Worth area often discover that local labor rates, timber prices, and even weather patterns can swing the budget dramatically. CountBricks removes the guesswork by generating real-time estimates from live supplier feeds and localized labor databases—delivered the moment you finish describing the project into your phone.
• Fascia boards anchor the gutters and block pests from entering attic spaces.
• Soffits provide critical attic ventilation, preventing trapped moisture that leads to mold or rafter rot.
• Well-maintained eaves boost curb appeal and protect your home’s structural framing.
• Standard primed pine remains the budget pick but may need repainting every five years.
• PVC and fiber-cement cost more up front but resist moisture, insects, and warping.
• Cedar or other premium woods raise the aesthetic but can double material totals.
CountBricks AI instantly converts your roof perimeter into exact linear footage, accounting for gable ends, dormers, and vaulted transitions that require extra cuts or custom flashing.
• Single-story ranch homes offer ladder access and lower labor hours.
• Two-story builds demand scaffolding or boom lifts, adding equipment rentals to your invoice.
• Tight lot lines complicate staging and waste disposal.
Older fascia often hides lead-based paint, calling for controlled demolition. CountBricks references certified disposal sites and automatically inserts compliance costs into your estimate.
Every home is unique, but CountBricks data sets the following baselines for a 2,000 sq ft single-family home:
• Basic pine fascia with vented vinyl soffit: $15–$23 per linear foot installed
• PVC fascia with solid vinyl soffit: $22–$30 per linear foot installed
• Fiber-cement fascia with aluminum soffit: $28–$38 per linear foot installed
These figures include removal, haul-off, mid-grade exterior paint, and new drip edge. Open the CountBricks.com/estimate app and speak your roof dimensions to receive customized numbers that adjust in real time as market prices shift.

Unlike static spreadsheets, CountBricks pulls hourly from Dallas suppliers and trade contractor networks. If primed pine jumps 12 % due to a supply chain hiccup, your estimate updates immediately and alerts you through the dashboard. No more absorbing costs or explaining overruns to clients.
• Schedule work outside peak roofing season to secure off-peak labor discounts.
• Bundle gutter replacement; combined scaffolding access lowers total labor hours.
• Opt for vented aluminum soffit strips to enhance airflow and reduce future roof repair costs.
• Use factory-finished fascia boards; they cost more upfront but slash jobsite painting labor.
• Always factor a 10 % waste allowance—CountBricks includes this automatically in every takeoff.

Last spring the Ramirez family in Frisco, TX, noticed peeling paint and nesting wasps under their two-story craftsman’s eaves. They launched the CountBricks mobile app, described their home’s perimeter, and selected fiber-cement fascia with vented aluminum soffits. Within 90 seconds they received a $9,840 estimate broken into:
• $4,950 materials pulled from three local suppliers
• $3,780 labor based on verified carpenter rates
• $650 equipment and scaffold rental
• $460 haul-off and permit fees
1. The homeowners e-signed the autogenerated proposal.
2. CountBricks scheduled a vetted crew, and digital job cards synced to the field supervisor’s phone.
3. Live cost tracking flagged a sudden fiber-cement price drop, saving the client $312 before purchase order release.
4. The full replacement finished in three days, and final invoicing matched the original estimate to the dollar.
• 22 % energy efficiency gain measured via attic temperature sensors.
• Zero call-backs thanks to factory-finished boards.
