How much does it cost to repair a rotted fascia board?

The cost to repair a rotted fascia board that is damaged from gutter overflow and water damage varies based on extent of rot, linear footage, material, and whether gutters need removal, but typical ranges provide guidance. For small repair of 6 to 10 feet of rotted fascia where only fascia is damaged and rafter tails are solid, DIY repair costs 50 to 150 dollars for materials like pressure-treated lumber or PVC fascia board, primer, paint, and fasteners, plus your time and ladder work. Professional repair for same small section typically costs 300 to 800 dollars including labor, removal of gutters, removing rotted fascia, installing new fascia board, caulking, painting, and reattaching gutters with proper slope. For larger repairs of 20 to 40 feet of fascia around entire house side, professional cost may be 800 to 2,500 dollars depending on height, with two-story homes costing more due to scaffolding. If rot extends to rafter tails or soffit that also need repair, cost increases to 1,500 to 4,000 dollars as rafter tails may need sistering or replacement. Material matters, as PVC or composite fascia that never rots costs more than wood but lasts longer. Additional costs include gutter removal and reinstallation, which may be 200 to 500 dollars if gutters are old and need replacement. Getting multiple written estimates from carpenters or gutter services ensures fair pricing and proper repair that prevents future gutter failure and water intrusion.
