The Typical Order
Fascia is generally installed first, since it provides the structural edge that soffit, gutters, and roofing trim attach to or align against.
Why Sequence Matters
Installing soffit before confirming fascia is sound and properly positioned can mean redoing work if the fascia needs adjustment or replacement afterward.
When Both Need Replacement
If both are damaged, addressing fascia condition first — including any rot in the underlying framework — sets up a more durable soffit installation.
Why One Crew Matters
Having the same team handle fascia, soffit, and any related gutter work avoids the coordination gaps that come with separate contractors handling each piece.
