How Much Does Fascia Board Replacement Cost? [2025 Data]

Fascia Length

The most influential pricing factor regarding fascia board replacement is its length. The length of the fascia and soffit system can determine the cost of almost all of the other facets of the project. 

An average-sized home contains between 100 and 200 linear feet of roof edges that require fascia boards. However, precise fascia lengths between different houses vary widely. To help calculate the cost of fascia board replacement for yours more closely, using a cost-per-linear-foot number is often the most accurate.

Fascia board replacement typically costs between $7 and $22 per linear foot, with an average of around $14.60, including materials and labor. However, those prices are based on a single-story home with easy-to-reach fascia. Prices will increase for taller homes and for those with eaves that are more difficult to access or particularly complex and can reach up to $40 per linear foot in extreme cases.

Roofing Pro Costs

Roofing pro labor costs for installing fascia can average between $6 and $20 per linear foot in addition to the cost of materials. Prices will vary depending on the scope of the project and the contractor’s experience. Some roofing pros will charge by the hour rather than the linear foot. Roofers may charge between $75 and $120 per hour for labor.

Cost by Location

How much you pay for fascia replacement can also vary based on where you live. Homeowners in higher cost of living areas will pay more for fascia than those in lower cost of living areas.

Additional Cost Factors

Other factors can affect fascia replacement costs. The kind of material used, whether or not it needs to be painted, and how easy the fascia is to access can all add costs to your project.

Materials

Aluminum, wood, vinyl, and PVC are all common materials for fascia. Wood is by far the most cost-effective choice, but it’s more prone to rot and requires more maintenance than other materials.

Painting

PVC, aluminum, and vinyl fascia come ready to install and won’t need additional finish work. Wood fascia, however, will need to be sealed or painted to help prevent damage and premature rot. Labor costs for painting average between $25 and $55 per hour.

Accessibility

Fascia located on a third story roof eaves, along a complex roofline, or in otherwise hard-to-reach areas may add to your replacement price tag. Expect to pay an additional 7% to 15% for fascia that’s hard to access.

Permits

Depending on your area’s regulations, you may need a permit for fascia replacement. Permit costs average between $50 and $300—check with your local building authority to see if a permit is required. If you hire a roofing contractor, ask if permit costs are included in the quote and whether they’ll secure the required permits before the job starts.

DIY vs. Hiring a Pro to Replace Fascia Board

While some minor fascia replacement can be a DIY project, it’s a job that should only be tackled by homeowners with roofing experience since you’ll need to remove and reinstall gutters, lift and install long, heavy fascia boards, and climb up and down a ladder as you work. For safety’s sake, hire a local roof repair pro to quickly and correctly replace your fascia.

Fascia Replacement vs. Repair

In some cases, you may be able to repair your fascia rather than having to replace it, or you may be able to replace only a damaged section rather than a full replacement. Signs that you need to replace fascia include:

• Visible holes or splits

• Rotted wood

• Bubbling or peeling paint

• Water intrusion along the roofline

How to Save Money on Fascia Board Replacement Costs

While hiring a pro is the best option to replace your fascia safely and correctly, there are a few ways to save on this project.

• Opt for lower-cost materials like wood or PVC.

• Schedule your fascia replacement during slower roofing seasons, like late fall or early spring. 

• Get multiple price quotes and compare them for the best value.

• Replace fascia and soffits or gutters at the same time to save on labor costs.

Does New Fascia Increase Home Value?

New fascia won’t necessarily increase your home’s value, but old, damaged fascia that needs to be replaced can certainly hurt it. Recently replaced roofing materials can make your home easier to sell and will save on costs that may result from damage caused by old fascia, like water damage, mold growth, and gutter damage.
