Why this costs more in 2026
Labor is the biggest part of most home jobs, and skilled trade pay keeps rising. Many materials and parts are imported, and freight went up after the oil shock that began with the Iran war in February 2026. Steel, copper, aluminum and resin all cost more too, so quotes for fascia board replacement are higher than they were a few years ago.
Ways to pay less
- Fix small spots of rot early so the whole board does not need to be replaced.
- Replace fascia and gutters in one visit to save on labor.
- Compare quotes from at least three roofers or carpenters.
