How much one piece of soffit costs depends on material, size, and where you buy it, but typical retail prices provide estimate for DIY budgeting. Vinyl soffit, which is most common low-maintenance option that never rots, is sold in panels 12 feet long and 12 to 16 inches wide, covering about 12 to 16 square feet per panel, and costs 15 to 35 dollars per panel at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes, which translates to 1.25 to 3 dollars per linear foot. Aluminum soffit, which is more durable and paintable, costs 20 to 40 dollars per 12-foot panel, or 1.70 to 3.50 dollars per linear foot. Wood soffit boards, typically 1x6 or 1x8 pine, cost 1 to 3 dollars per linear foot but require painting and are prone to rot. For a typical home requiring 200 linear feet of soffit, material cost for vinyl would be 250 to 600 dollars, plus additional costs for J-channels, F-channels, and fasteners at 2 to 5 dollars per piece, and caulk and paint if using wood. Professional installation adds labor at 15 to 30 dollars per linear foot. If you need to replace fascia board at same time due to gutter-related rot, PVC fascia board costs 2 to 5 dollars per linear foot. Prices vary by region and availability, and buying in bulk may reduce cost per piece, so get multiple quotes and measure linear footage accurately.
