How much to charge for soffit and fascia

Roofing and siding contractors get shopped on a published $12 / lineal foot soffit and fascia wrap Facebook special. Those numbers cannot see the replace or the stories. A 1-story ranch wrap-over-existing is a different job from a two-story wood replace with rot, gutter detach, extra corners, and pump jacks.

Price the wrap and the replace, not the $12 dump

Soffit and fascia is an eave, then a scope, then how you reach it. Lineal feet is the run. Wrap-over-existing is coil and vinyl over wood that is still sound. A vinyl tear-off adds dump and a second pass. New wood fascia and soffit, then wrap, is another crew day. One-story is a ladder. Two-story needs pump jacks. Three-story is scaffolding.

A wrap is not a wood replace

The cheap special is almost always vented soffit on a 1-story ranch, no rot, no gutter detach, no pump jacks. A wood-replace is a different crew day. Matching a wrap per-foot number on a two-story rot job is how a sold eave becomes a three-day loss after the first rotten rafter tail.

This is not gutter install or siding

Gutter install is a K-style trough, miters, and drops. Gutter cleaning and gutter guards are different tickets. Siding is squares of wall. Exterior painting is a coat on elevations. This prices soffit and fascia: wrap, replace, and extras. Gutter detach here is taking the trough off so you can wrap the board, not those other jobs.

Walk-away price

Load the wage with payroll burden. Add overhead as a share of direct cost. Then take margin as a share of the customer’s price, not a markup on cost. The walk-away number is total cost. A proposed price under that number loses money before you take anything out of it.
