CountBricks: How Much to Paint Soffits and Fascia Costs

James Miller
Head of Sales

Why Homeowners Ask “How Much to Paint Soffits and Fascia?”

When the roofline begins to look tired, a fresh coat of paint on your soffits and fascia instantly boosts curb appeal and shields the eaves from moisture. Yet pricing can feel like a guessing game. CountBricks removes the uncertainty with real-time voice capture and AI-generated estimates that pull live material pricing from local suppliers. Below we unpack every cost variable so you know exactly what drives the final number.

Key Cost Factors

1. Linear Footage

Most contractors calculate soffit and fascia painting by linear foot. CountBricks takeoffs accurately trace the roof perimeter from blueprints or smartphone photos, then multiply by current paint coverage rates.

2. Material Selection

• Standard exterior latex offers solid protection at an economical price
• Premium elastomeric formulas stretch with temperature swings—ideal for harsh climates
• Color changes from dark to light may require a dedicated primer coat
CountBricks pulls today’s shelf prices from local paint distributors so your estimate never goes stale.

3. Surface Condition

Peeling, rot, or mildew demand extra prep time. Our AI automatically adds line-item tasks—scraping, sanding, filler, and sealant—based on homeowner photos shared during your voice call.

4. Access and Safety

Single-story bungalows cost less than three-story Victorians that require scaffold rentals or lift equipment. CountBricks factors ladder reach, fall protection, and working height to keep crews safe and on budget.

Average Residential Price Range

Based on thousands of recent CountBricks estimates across suburban neighborhoods, you can expect:

• Low end (simple one-story, minimal prep, standard paint): $3.50 – $4.50 per linear foot
• Mid-range (two-story, moderate prep, premium paint): $5.00 – $6.50 per linear foot
• High end (complex rooflines, heavy repair, specialty coatings): $7.00 – $9.50 per linear foot

A typical 200-linear-foot ranch will land between $700 and $1,300, while a 325-linear-foot two-story colonial may run $1,625 to $2,110. Your CountBricks voice session refines those numbers in moments.

Breaking Down the Estimate

Labor

1. Setup and protection (drop cloths, masking): 10-15% of total
2. Prep work (scrape, sand, patch): 25-30%
3. Prime and paint coats: 45-50%
4. Cleanup and disposal: 5-10%

Materials

• Paint and primer
• Caulk and wood filler
• Fasteners or replacement boards if rot is present
• Consumables such as tape, plastic, brushes, and rollers

CountBricks auto-updates material costs every 15 minutes, ensuring your quote reflects the cash register total, not last month’s circular.

DIY vs. Professional Crews

Homeowners with a sturdy ladder can reduce costs, but weigh the risks:

• Falls from two-story eaves are the leading cause of emergency visits in exterior painting
• Improper prep shortens paint life, forcing a redo in just 2-3 years
• Missed mildew spores can spread beneath fresh coats, causing premature peeling

CountBricks-vetted crews follow ASTM surface prep standards and apply manufacturer-approved mil thickness for a 10-year finish warranty.

Pro Tips from the Field

• Schedule painting after roof repairs but before gutter installation to avoid extra masking time.
• Opt for a satin finish; it sheds water better than matte and hides minor wood grain irregularities.
• Use color-matched caulk on all fascia joints for a seamless look that prevents micro-cracks.
