Homeowners rarely think about fascia boards until water damage or an exterior facelift forces the conversation. Yet these narrow strips of trim protect roof edges, anchor gutters, and frame the entire aesthetic of a house. At CountBricks, we generate thousands of real-time estimates each month, and “fascia boards cost” consistently ranks among the top pricing questions in our AI-assisted voice sessions. This article breaks down every factor that drives the price so you can budget confidently and win more bids.
Fascia boards run horizontally along the roofline, capping the ends of rafters. They serve three essential purposes:
• Prevent moisture from infiltrating the roof deck
• Provide a secure mounting point for gutters
• Deliver a clean visual transition between siding and roof
The material you choose has the single biggest impact on cost per linear foot.
• Primed pine: Budget-friendly, easy to cut, requires diligent painting
• PVC or composite: Mid-range price, excellent moisture resistance, low maintenance
• Cedar or redwood: Higher cost, premium curb appeal, naturally rot-resistant
• Aluminum wrap over wood: Adds weatherproofing, raises labor time and material spend
Residential rooflines vary dramatically. Ranch homes may only need 120–160 linear feet, while multi-gabled properties can exceed 300. CountBricks voice takeoffs automatically calculate exact footage from blueprint PDFs or on-site AR scans, eliminating guesswork that leads to cost overruns.
Swapping out rotten fascia requires careful tear-off and safe disposal.
• Straightforward one-story removal: minimal labor hours
• Two-story removal: additional staging, safety harnesses, and debris handling
• Lead-based paint mitigation: specialized PPE and disposal fees
Regional wage differences can swing total project cost by 20–35 %. Our AI pulls labor rate databases in real time, adjusting your CountBricks estimate to match local market conditions within seconds.
• Gutter replacement or flashing upgrades
• Soffit ventilation improvements
• Full exterior repaint following installation
Bundling these tasks during a single mobilization often saves homeowners 10–15 % compared to separate visits. Use CountBricks.com/services to explore bundled package pricing.
While every home is unique, CountBricks analytics show the following nationwide residential averages (materials + labor):
• Primed pine: $6–$8 per linear foot
• PVC/composite: $9–$12 per linear foot
• Cedar/redwood: $12–$15 per linear foot
• Aluminum wrap add-on: +$3–$4 per linear foot
Remember, these figures exclude removal and disposal, which typically add $1–$3 per linear foot depending on height and accessibility.
Traditional estimating relies on manual tape measurements, spreadsheet formulas, and historical averages. CountBricks replaces that friction with speech-driven automation.

Many homeowners consider DIY fascia replacement to save money. CountBricks data finds the break-even point favors hiring a pro when any of these conditions exist:

• Schedule installation during off-season months to unlock contractor availability discounts
• Opt for pre-primed boards and spray paint before installation to cut onsite labor
