Rake Soffit Support

Construction Item Description

Construction estimating unit cost for 2x6 soffit support framing at the rake. You can attach this support to roof look-outs or span from eaves to ridge beam, depending on construction details.

Unit Size

One lineal feet of rake.

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.

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 rake, with an 8% waste factor.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal uses the rake 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.
