Typical Cedar Fascia Board Costs by Size and Grade

Price ranges reflect size options from 1×6 to 1×8 and common cedar grades. For 100 linear feet, customers might see a spread from about $360 to $1,540 depending on grade, thickness, finish, and regional labor rates. The per-unit rates below illustrate how board width and grade affect the bottom line.

Assumptions: 1×6 and 1×8 boards, smooth surface, standard exposure, mid-range labor rate.

Board Width	Ced ar Grade	Material Cost	Labor Cost	Finish Cost	Installed Price Range
1×6	Clear	$2.10-$3.00/ft	$2.50-$4.00/ft	$0.60-$1.40/ft	$5.10-$8.40/ft
1×6	Knotty	$1.80-$2.60/ft	$2.50-$4.00/ft	$0.40-$0.90/ft	$4.70-$7.50/ft
1×8	Clear	$2.30-$3.60/ft	$2.80-$4.60/ft	$0.70-$1.50/ft	$5.80-$9.70/ft
1×8	Knotty	$2.00-$3.00/ft	$2.80-$4.60/ft	$0.50-$1.00/ft	$5.30-$8.60/ft

The cedar fascia board price is most often quoted per linear foot, with a typical installed rate that combines board cost and labor. A common scenario is 1×6 or 1×8 cedar boards installed along gutter lines, with a finish that resists weathering. Bundled jobs may include removal of old boards and disposal fees, which alters the overall per-foot costs.

Expect roughly $4-$9 per linear foot installed in many markets, with higher-end finishes or larger widths approaching $9-$12 per linear foot in some regions.

Assumptions: Basic removal, standard weather exposure, and no custom profiles.

Regional Price Variations Across the United States

Coastal markets and areas with higher labor rates tend to push Cedar Fascia Board prices toward the upper end of the range, while inland and rural regions may sit closer to the lower end. Expect a regional delta of roughly 5% to 25% depending on demand, access, and local material costs.

Labor-intensive urban markets can add materially to installation costs due to permits, traffic control, and scheduling.

Assumptions: Standard 2- to 3-person crew, typical urban access, and common city permits where required.

Installation time scales with length, access, and board width. A typical 100-foot run with a two-person crew may take 4–8 hours, while longer runs or difficult access can extend to 8–14 hours for a three-person crew.

Labor ranges from $2.50 to $6.50 per linear foot depending on crew size and site conditions.

Assumptions: Standard ladder safety, no extensive repair behind fascia, and normal weather.

The strongest price drivers are board grade and length, installation access, and finish selection. A switch from knotty to clear Cedar can lift material costs by 20–40%. Long runs (>200 ft) can reduce per-foot labor efficiency, increasing total costs by 15–25%.

Short runs with easy access and standard primed finishes deliver the most predictable pricing.

Assumptions: Normal roofline without intricate returns, standard eave exposure, and a mid-range finish.

Control scope by removing unnecessary finish layers, choosing standard widths, and scheduling during shoulder seasons when labor demand is lower. Compare quotes that separate material, labor, and disposal, and consider using a durable prefinished cedar to reduce on-site finishing time.

Bundling removal, delivery, and installation in one contract often lowers overall admin costs.

Assumptions: Realistic access and no extensive substrate repairs.

Disposal of old cedar, gutter work, and flashing adjustments add to the bottom line. If fascia requires new trim, drip edge, or insect treatment, budget 10–20% extra for related components and labor.

Replacement may be cheaper than repair in some cases when underlying framing is compromised.

Assumptions: Basic gutter alignment and no structural wood rot beyond fascia.

Scenario A: 120 ft of 1×6 knotty cedar, basic finish, standard access. Material $2.00/ft, labor $3.50/ft, finish $1.00/ft, total installed $6.50/ft. Total: ~$780.

Scenario B: 180 ft of 1×8 clear cedar, premium finish, easy access. Material $3.00/ft, labor $4.50/ft, finish $1.60/ft, total installed $9.10/ft. Total: ~$1,638.

Scenario C: 100 ft of 1×6 knotty cedar, disposal and removal included. Material $2.00/ft, labor $3.00/ft, disposal $0.75/ft, total installed $5.75/ft. Total: ~$575.

Assumptions: Normal roofline, mid-grade materials, standard disposal rates.

Compared with engineered wood or aluminum undercarriage, cedar offers natural weather resistance but higher maintenance. A typical substitute may cost 15–40% less upfront for material, while labor patterns stay similar.

For long-term aesthetics, cedar often provides a favorable cost-to-value balance despite higher initial material costs.

Assumptions: Similar exposure and color finish across materials; standard maintenance cycle.
