The fascia board may be a slim strip of lumber or PVC tucked beneath your roofline, yet its role in protecting rafters and supporting gutters is critical. Because homeowners rarely see the damage until water intrudes, knowing your fascia board installation cost—and budgeting accurately—can save thousands in future repairs. CountBricks brings clarity by combining real-time material pricing, voice-driven site measurements, and instant blueprint takeoffs into one streamlined estimate.
Across the Midwest we see typical residential fascia pricing run between $6 and $14 per linear foot installed. That range covers:
• Basic primed SPF boards nailed in place
• Mid-grade cedar or PVC requiring hidden fasteners
• Premium composite fascia that integrates color-matched drip edge
Every CountBricks estimate calls out material, labor, equipment, and disposal separately so you know exactly where each dollar lands.
1. Material selection – Cedar and PVC last longer but run 20-40 % more than pine.
2. Roof height – Multi-story installs add ladder setups and safety staging.
3. Gutter removal – Detaching and resetting seamless gutters can add $2-$4/ft.
4. Ornamental profiles – Crown fascias require extra ripping and finish passes.
5. Regional labor rates – Urban centers trend 10-15 % higher than rural zip codes.
Because CountBricks pulls prevailing wage data in real time, you’ll never work from outdated averages.

Last spring a Des Moines remodeler uploaded a 1950s rambler plan to CountBricks. Our takeoff calculated 142 ft of fascia, but the voice walk-around revealed an additional 12 ft behind a sun porch—footage the drawings missed. Because the platform reconciled both datasets automatically, the contractor avoided a costly mid-project change order.
• Original spec: Finger-jointed pine at $1.90/ft
• AI suggestion: Cellular PVC at $2.85/ft but with 25-year warranty
The homeowner chose PVC after seeing a side-by-side longevity chart inside the interactive quote. Labor remained the same, yet life-cycle analysis showed a net $480 saving in repainting over ten years.
1. Field crew accessed the cloud-based checklist on mobile devices.
2. Progress photos synced to the client portal, triggering staged invoices.
3. A final inspection capture closed the job and pushed a branded warranty certificate via CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Real-time supplier feeds matter—lumber jumped 7 % the following week, but the locked-in PVC rate stayed flat.
• Combining blueprint and voice data eliminates hidden lineal footage.
• Presenting maintenance costs alongside install price builds homeowner trust and upsell opportunities.
