Fascia & Soffit

The exterior soffit spans under the rafter tails, and the fascia is a horizontal, visible board running the length of the rafters. The fascia board is the board that is behind the gutters on the side of your house.

Generally, soffits are more important than fascia for a house or roof. It is not only very difficult to finish the appearance of the home without a soffit, but it will also expose the rafters and eaves to the elements and put them at risk for problems such as wood rot, interior leaks, mould growth, and damage to the roof deck.

When your roof installation is finished, your soffit and fascia will be installed. Generally, it is better if soffits and fascia are installed before the shingles are set in place. There are multiple types of possible finishes, as well as variations, for a soffit.

Installing fascia costs $6 to $20 per linear foot while installing soffit costs $1 to $3 per linear foot.

Yes, you can always paint your siding or trim, but is it feasible? And what will it do to the price? It’s really up to you, and if you consider all your options, you should be able to choose for yourself.
