WHAT’S INCLUDED

What’s included in Fascia & Soffit Repair?

The fascia is the board your gutters bolt to — and when gutters clog or overflow, they saturate that board from behind, push the paint off from the inside, and rot the wood until it goes soft and spongy. Water then drips onto the soffit below, so soffit decay almost always follows fascia rot. We tear out the rotted fascia and damaged soffit, inspect and treat the rafter tails behind them, rebuild on rot-resistant material, restore soffit ventilation, and re-hang your gutters off a solid nailing surface. You cannot re-hang gutters properly on punky wood — fixing the fascia is what makes the gutter repair hold.

  • Tear-out of rotted, soft, or spongy fascia board
  • Removal and replacement of stained or decayed soffit panels
  • Inspection and treatment of rafter tails / sub-fascia behind the boards
  • Rebuild in rot-resistant material (PVC, composite, cement/Hardie, or aluminum-wrapped wood)
  • Soffit ventilation restored so attic airflow stays correct
  • Gutters re-pitched and re-hung off a solid nailing surface

OUR PROCESS

How does fascia & soffit work?

  1. Inspection and rot mapping

    We probe the fascia and soffit to find where the wood has gone soft, trace how far the decay has spread, and check the rafter tails behind the boards. Because fascia rot is usually gutter-driven, we also look at why water is reaching the wood — overflow, back-pitch, a pulled section, or a failed downspout — so the repair fixes the cause, not just the symptom.

  2. Gutter detachment and tear-out

    We detach the affected gutter runs, then remove the rotted fascia board and any decayed soffit panels. Off comes everything that's soft, spongy, or showing the cascade staining where water has been dripping from the fascia onto the soffit.

  3. Rafter tail treatment and substrate prep

    With the boards off, we inspect and treat the exposed rafter tails and sub-fascia. Any framing that's begun to decay from prolonged wetness is addressed before we close the eave back up — covering rot doesn't stop it.

  4. Rebuild on rot-resistant material

    New fascia and soffit go up in the material you chose — PVC, composite, cement/Hardie, or aluminum-wrapped wood — sized and fastened to give the gutters a solid nailing surface. We restore continuous soffit ventilation so the attic airflow that keeps the eave dry (and helps prevent ice dams) stays intact.

  5. Re-hang and re-pitch gutters

    Gutters are re-hung on hidden-hanger screws into the new solid board, re-pitched toward the downspouts, and resealed at any joints we opened. This is the step that's impossible on rotted wood and the reason fascia repair and gutter work belong in the same visit.

  6. Water test and walkthrough

    We flush the re-hung runs to confirm the gutters drain and the rebuilt eave stays dry. We walk the work with you, explain what caused the rot, and leave a written summary so you know what to watch for going forward.

MATERIALS

Fascia & Soffit materials and options.

Fascia material

  • PVC / cellular composite (rot-proof, our usual recommendation in a gutter-fed eave)
  • Cement / Hardie board (paintable, moisture-resistant)
  • Aluminum-wrapped wood (clean finish, sheds water)
  • Cedar (traditional look for historic homes; needs maintenance)

Soffit material

  • Vented vinyl soffit panels (restores attic airflow)
  • Vented aluminum soffit panels
  • Solid panels with continuous intake venting where the design calls for it

Fasteners and hangers

  • Stainless or coated screws (no nails that work loose as wood moves)
  • Hidden-hanger screws for re-hanging gutters into the new board

COST RANGE

How much does fascia & soffit cost in the Treasure Valley?

Fascia & Soffitpricing depends entirely on the scope of the work — the size of the affected area, the underlying cause, and what the repair or prevention plan involves. We don’t publish a flat range because an honest number requires seeing the job in person.

These are Treasure Valley ranges only — the on-site visit gives the real number. Actual cost depends on roof access, story count, existing condition, and the system selected.

WHAT AFFECTS PRICE

Fascia and soffit repair is priced by linear footage and the extent of the rot — sound-wood replacement is cheaper than tearing into water-damaged board that's spread to the soffit and rafter tails. Material choice (PVC, composite, cement, aluminum-wrap, cedar) and story count also move the number. We work from national professional ranges adapted to the Treasure Valley because no Idaho-specific published per-foot figure exists; the on-site visit produces the written quote.

CHOOSING A CONTRACTOR

What to ask any fascia & soffit contractor.

These are the questions we’d ask if we were hiring someone for our own home. A legitimate contractor answers all of them without hesitation.

Questions to ask

  1. Will you identify and fix the gutter problem that caused the rot, not just replace the board?
  2. Are you inspecting and treating the rafter tails behind the fascia before closing it up?
  3. What material are you replacing with, and why that choice for a gutter-fed eave?
  4. Will the new soffit keep the attic ventilation intact?
  5. Are the gutters being re-hung on hidden-hanger screws into the new board?
  6. Are you a licensed Idaho contractor? (License number should be on the estimate.)

Red flags to watch for

  • Contractor replaces the fascia but never looks at why water was reaching it — the gutter cause goes unfixed and the new board rots too.
  • New fascia covered over rotted rafter tails instead of treating the framing first.
  • Bare untreated pine fascia installed in a gutter-fed eave, where it will rot again.
  • Soffit panels replaced solid, blocking the attic ventilation that keeps the eave dry.
  • Gutters re-nailed to the new board instead of re-hung on hidden-hanger screws.
  • No discussion of attic insulation or ventilation on a home with ice-dam-driven eave damage.

WHY PROFESSIONAL

Is professional fascia & soffit worth it?

The DIY fascia fix is usually a length of pine from the home store, some caulk, and paint over the soft spot. It buys a season — but if the gutter that rotted the board in the first place still overflows or back-pitches, the new wood goes soft just as fast, and meanwhile the decay keeps cascading into the soffit and rafter tails. A proper repair fixes the water source, treats the framing behind the board, rebuilds in a rot-resistant material, and re-hangs the gutters off solid wood so the whole eave stops feeding itself moisture. That's the difference between patching the symptom and ending the cycle.

Frequently asked questions

How much does fascia and soffit repair cost in the Treasure Valley?

No Idaho-specific published per-foot figure exists, so we work from national professional ranges adapted to the Treasure Valley: roughly $6–$20 per linear foot installed for sound-wood replacement, and about $10–$23 per linear foot where water or rot damage is involved. A typical whole-home fascia project nationally lands in the $1,050–$3,300 range. The variables are the same here as anywhere — total footage, how far the rot has spread into the soffit and rafter tails, story count, and the replacement material. We give you a written number on-site.

What causes fascia rot in the first place?

Almost always the gutters. When gutters clog, overflow, slope the wrong way, or pull slightly away from the house, water saturates the wood fascia behind them. That perpetual dampness pushes paint off from the inside out and breaks down the wood fibers until the board goes soft. Water running down the rotting fascia then drips onto the soffit below, so soffit decay is typically a cascade failure that follows the fascia. Prolonged wetness can extend the rot into the roof framing behind the boards.

Can you replace the fascia and re-hang my gutters in one visit?

Yes — and that's the right way to do it. As a licensed Idaho gutter contractor (RCE-6681702), we coordinate the carpentry and the gutter work together: tear out the rot, rebuild on solid rot-resistant material, then re-pitch and re-hang the gutters off the new board. You cannot properly re-hang gutters on rotted fascia, which is why a gutter that keeps pulling away is often a fascia problem first.

What material do you replace rotted fascia with?

It depends on budget and the look you want. PVC and composite (roughly $3–$7/ft material, national ranges) and aluminum-wrapped wood (aluminum trim runs higher) resist the moisture rot that destroys bare wood, so they're our usual recommendation in a gutter-fed eave. Cedar and cement/Hardie are also options. We talk through the tradeoffs on-site rather than defaulting to whatever's cheapest.

How do ice dams damage fascia and soffit?

Ice dams form when attic heat melts roof snow during the day and it refreezes at the cold eave overnight. After repeated freeze-thaw cycles, meltwater backs up under the shingles and into the eave, soffit, and fascia area. Boise averages about 17.6 inches of snow over roughly 18 snow days a year (NOAA 1991–2020 normals), so that melt-and-refreeze pattern is a recurring driver of eave rot here. The National Weather Service recommends at least R-30 attic insulation plus continuous soffit-to-ridge ventilation to keep the attic cold and minimize the cycle — which is why restoring soffit ventilation is part of our repair.

Why do older Boise homes need fascia repair so often?

Boise's North End Historic District has a period of significance of 1891–1915, with the area platted in 1878 — so there's a large stock of homes well over a century old, with original-era wood eave detailing. That kind of aged wood fascia and soffit is a prime rot-repair candidate, and it's often paired with a seamless-gutter replacement when the old system has been feeding water behind the boards for years.
