Eaves Soffit Support Framing Cost

Construction Item Description

Construction estimating unit cost for 2x6 soffit support framing at the eaves (attached to rafter tails or truss ends).

Unit Size

One lineal feet of eaves.

Labor Costs

We figure that a carpenter can attach about 17 feet of soffit framing per hour, with a little help from an unskilled worker. This cost also includes the labor of trimming rafter tails to uniform length.

HINT-- If you have scaffolding erected, you can probably do this work much quicker!

Material Costs

One lineal foot of 2x6 lumber per foot of eaves, with an 8% waste factor.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal uses the eaves length as calculated on the Roof Dimensions screen.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing from Turtle Creek Construction, confirmed from job costing data.
