How to Estimate Soffit and Fascia Replacement
Contractor method for estimating soffit and fascia replacement by length, width and material.
Soffit is the underside of the eave and fascia is the board along the roof edge. Both are priced by the eave length, with width driving the soffit area.
THE SHORT ANSWER
How do you estimate soffit and fascia replacement?
Multiply eave length by soffit width for the soffit area, then add fascia by length, material and removal. 80 ft of 2 ft soffit at vinyl is $640 of soffit plus $400 fascia for $1,040.
Measure the eave
Walk the house and total the linear feet of eave. That length drives both the soffit and the fascia.

Compute the soffit area
Soffit area is eave length times soffit width. An 80 ft eave with a 2 ft soffit is 160 sq ft.
Price soffit and fascia separately
Soffit is priced by area and fascia by linear foot. Removing the old work adds a per-foot line.
Account for height
Two-story and higher eaves cost more for access and safety. A height factor raises the total. Use the Soffit and Fascia Replacement Cost Calculator.
