First, what these are. The fascia is the board running along the edge of the roof, and it is what your gutters are screwed to. The soffit is the panel underneath the overhang, between the fascia and the wall, and it usually carries the vents that feed your attic. Most people arrive here having noticed a symptom rather than a name: peeling paint in a band along the roofline, a gutter starting to lean away from the house, soft wood at the corners, stains under the eave, or wasps and squirrels getting into the overhang.
This page prices replacing whole runs. For a couple of rotted spots cut out and spliced, see soffit and fascia repair.
Material is the smaller half. Most of the bill is access and labor, so check that a bid's footage matches your roofline.
One line on this job matters more than the price, and it is ventilation.
Excluded: roof work, insulation and baffle correction, and the gutters themselves unless named. Ask the bidder to state the cause in writing, because a run replaced under a gutter that is still out of pitch will rot again.
One to three days for most homes, driven by linear footage and how much of the roofline is two stories up.
The scheduling matters more than the duration, because this job has a place in a sequence. Soffit and fascia go on before siding and before gutters. If all three are happening, the trades have to be booked in that order, and the wait you experience is coordination rather than work.
Most people searching for this cost do not yet know which of the two they need. The test is how many places the same board is failing.
Repair when the damage is contained to one or two bays, the rest of the board is firm to a screwdriver, the profile can be matched, and nothing else is happening to that elevation. Our soffit and fascia repair page prices that scope.
Replace the run when soft spots keep turning up along an elevation, when the board has already been patched or painted over rot, when the profile or color cannot be matched acceptably, or when siding or gutters are coming off anyway.
The economics push harder toward replacement than people expect, and the reason is access. Staging, ladders, gutter removal and a crew on site are most of the cost of either job. Once you are paying for access, replacing the whole run adds material and some labor rather than a second job. Paying for access twice in three years is the outcome to avoid.
Check it yourself first: push a screwdriver into the fascia at the corners and behind each gutter outlet. Those are the two places water collects.
Do it now if siding or gutters are being replaced. The sequence is soffit and fascia, then siding, then gutters, and doing them together buys you one access charge instead of three.
Wait if the roof is due within the year, so the roofer can set the drip edge and flashing against new trim rather than through it.
Once the timing is settled, the last decision is material.
Three material routes, and the difference between two of them is often misunderstood.
Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status alongside James Hardie Elite Preferred and CertainTeed 5-Star contractor certifications, and covers roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and attic insulation. Reviewers name their project manager more often than almost anything else about the job, and describe them staying involved and checking in through to the finish. Siding and gutter work draws the warmest praise for how it looks once finished, and most installs wrap up in just a few days. Their free inspection is thorough and photo-led, with some homeowners noting drone footage of the roof itself. Promotional discounts are tiered by trade rather than applying across the board, so ask what your specific project qualifies for. If your roof is flat or low-slope, ask what warranty comes with it, since those systems are covered differently.
Victory Home Remodeling covers windows, roofing, siding and gutters across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland), installing and warranting house-branded systems supplied by established manufacturers: EnduranceX™ siding from Norandex, roofing materials from GAF. It is a GAF Master Elite contractor, a designation held by only about 2% of roofers nationwide. The process runs through a named salesperson and project manager, with a quality inspection at the end rather than a single handoff, and reviewers consistently describe the installation crews as clean, careful with the house, and quick to finish on the date first promised. Its warranty is genuinely one of the stronger ones in this category: lifetime, non-prorated on both labor and product, transferable once to the next owner, and it covers glass breakage regardless of cause. Get the full scope, including trim, siding tie-ins, and what the warranty covers, in writing before the crew starts.
Clear Choice Home Improvement is a family-owned company working across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, southern Maine, Vermont and central Pennsylvania: a regional specialist rather than a national one. Metal roofing is where its reviews are strongest and most detailed: standing-seam roofs fitted in three or four days, crews working till dark, and one homeowner whose panel was repaired free of charge a year later. Homeowners regularly name their crew lead and project coordinator by name when a roof is finished. It is an Owens Corning Preferred contractor, and covers roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and bath. One thing worth knowing up front: Clear Choice does replacement and installation, not repairs.
Lednor Home Solutions is the largest Gutter Helmet dealer in the country, working across twelve states from seven offices: a dealer of the system rather than its manufacturer, which matters when a claim comes up. Homeowners praise punctual, tidy crews and a salesperson who explained the product without rushing. Its Sunesta retractable awning work is quietly its best-reviewed line, with homeowners describing installs finished ahead of schedule. The gutter warranty is the manufacturer’s while the service visit is Lednor’s, and that seam is where homeowners report the most friction. Ask what a service call involves and how quickly one is scheduled.
Homefix Custom Remodeling has worked across Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina since 1990, covering roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and solar. It states plainly that it does not use subcontractors. Its own crews do the work, and reviewers across its different markets back that up by name, crediting installers and crews for turning a full roof or a house of windows around in a day or two. It is a GAF Certified Master Elite roofing contractor. Its warranty is branded UltraCare, and the word lifetime carries specific year caps by product rather than being open-ended, so ask what applies to your job. If your project involves a color-matched material like siding, ask to see and sign off on the exact sample before installation day, and ask upfront how a warranty service call gets scheduled.
Homeowners across DaBella’s network consistently point to the in-home consultation as the best part of the process: a named rep who lays out every option and price point without rushing, and on window jobs, lets you feel the difference between glass packages before you decide. Where a job is finished, the reviews get specific: full roof replacements wrapped up in a single day, whole-house window installs that leave rooms noticeably quieter, and bath and shower conversions homeowners call worth it once the work is done. DaBella covers roofing, siding, windows, bath, walk-in tubs, gutters and solar, and is a GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor; its windows now come under the Fairfield and Glasswing lines. Financing runs through independent third-party lenders. DaBella states plainly in its own terms that it is neither a broker nor a lender. The in-home visit covers a lot of ground, so set aside real time for it, and ask which product line (Fairfield or Glasswing on windows, for example) your quote covers.
