Installed, roughly $12 to $20 per linear foot for vinyl soffit with aluminium fascia, $15 to $25 for aluminium throughout and $20 to $35 for wood. Two-storey work and rotten sub-fascia push toward the top of each range. These are 2026 planning estimates, not quotes.
The Soffit & Fascia Cost Calculator returns material cost, labor cost, staging, waste, contingency, and overhead-and-profit for replacing or installing soffit and fascia in vinyl, aluminum, wood, or fiber cement. Enter the linear feet of soffit and fascia, your unit costs, crew size, labor rate, and productivity in feet per hour and the tool builds a line-item estimate the way a contractor would. Typical material pricing runs 3 to 6 dollars per linear foot for soffit and 4 to 8 dollars per linear foot for fascia, with labor adding 3 to 5 dollars per linear foot on a single-story home and 5 to 8 dollars per foot on two-story or steep-eave work where staging and fall protection slow everything down. A typical house has 250-350 linear feet of eave and rake, which puts a full replacement in the 2,500 to 6,000 dollar range installed, and premium colors, wood-look profiles, or hidden-vent panels add another 10-20 percent. Vented soffit is the intake half of a balanced attic ventilation system, so quantities matter for more than looks: without enough net free area at the eaves, ridge vents pull conditioned air out of the house instead of drawing fresh air through the attic, which shortens shingle life and invites ice dams. Fascia carries the gutter system, so any rot found during tear-off must be replaced before new fascia or gutters go up, and joints should be sealed and back-primed. Aluminum should be pre-bent on the ground rather than on a ladder, coastal jobs need stainless fasteners to avoid rust streaks, and every job should carry 5-10 percent extra material for cuts, overlaps, and returns at corners. Use the Gutter Calculator and Roof Vent Calculator alongside this tool to scope the whole eave line, and the Roof Replacement Cost Guide when soffit work is bundled into a full re-roof.
Soffit and fascia are priced by the linear foot of eave, and the two are almost always replaced together because the fascia has to come off to get at the soffit.
| Eave length | Vinyl soffit + aluminium fascia | Aluminium both | Wood both |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 ft | $1,200 – $2,000 | $1,500 – $2,500 | $2,000 – $3,500 |
| 140 ft | $1,680 – $2,800 | $2,100 – $3,500 | $2,800 – $4,900 |
| 180 ft | $2,160 – $3,600 | $2,700 – $4,500 | $3,600 – $6,300 |
| 220 ft | $2,640 – $4,400 | $3,300 – $5,500 | $4,400 – $7,700 |
| 260 ft | $3,120 – $5,200 | $3,900 – $6,500 | $5,200 – $9,100 |
Ranges are installed cost per linear foot including labour and tear-off. Two-storey work, steep pitches and rotten sub-fascia all push toward the top of each range.
Soffit and fascia work is much cheaper when it happens during a reroof. The gutters are already off, the crew is already set up at the eaves, and the drip edge is being replaced anyway. Doing it as a separate job later means paying twice for the same access.
The ranges here are planning figures for installed work including labour and tear-off. They are wide because regional labour rates vary more than materials do. Get three written quotes broken down by linear foot before committing.
Installed, roughly $12 to $20 per linear foot for vinyl soffit with aluminium fascia, $15 to $25 for aluminium throughout, and $20 to $35 for wood. Two-storey work sits at the top of each range.
Almost always. The fascia has to come off to get at the soffit properly, so doing them separately means paying for the same tear-off twice.
It is the intake half of the attic ventilation system. Without open soffit vents a ridge vent has nothing to draw from and the attic stays hot.
Not properly. The gutter hangs off the fascia, so the fascia cannot be replaced with it in place. Budget for gutter removal and refit, and if the gutters are near the end of their life it is usually cheaper to replace them at the same time than to refit old ones.
