The job behind the gutters. Rafter tails are the surprise, and the per-tail price is the fix.
"replace all soffit and fascia approx 190 lf, aluminum fascia wrap over new primed wood, vented aluminum soffit white, remove old, gutters off and back on, rotten rafter tails $45 each w photo"
Example figures for a typical soffit and fascia replacement job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.
What to spell out on a soffit and fascia replacement bid
- Linear feet and that it is the whole house or a listed run.
- Vented or solid soffit, and that attic ventilation is kept or improved.
- Rotten rafter tails at a per-piece price with a photo first.
- Gutters off and back on, and that bent or old gutters are reinstalled as-is.
Rotten sheathing is the surprise. Put a per-sheet price on the bid and say photos are sent before it is replaced.
