What is the cost of deck board end caps and fascia trim in NB?

Question

What is the cost of deck board end caps and fascia trim in NB?

Answer from Deck IQ

Deck board end caps and fascia trim in New Brunswick typically cost $8-25 per linear foot installed, depending on the material and complexity of your deck's perimeter.

The cost varies significantly based on your decking material and the style of trim you choose. For pressure-treated lumber fascia, expect to pay $8-15 per linear foot installed, which includes a 2x8 or 2x10 PT board to cover the rim joist and deck board ends. Cedar fascia runs $12-20 per linear foot, offering a more attractive natural wood appearance that complements cedar decking beautifully.

Composite fascia boards are the most popular choice for composite decks, costing $15-25 per linear foot installed. Brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon offer fascia boards that perfectly match their decking lines, creating a seamless finished look. These composite fascia boards are particularly valuable in New Brunswick's climate because they won't rot, warp, or require the annual staining that wood fascia demands.

For a typical 12x16 deck (56 linear feet of perimeter), you're looking at $450-850 for PT fascia, $675-1,120 for cedar, or $840-1,400 for composite fascia. PVC fascia (AZEK, TimberTech Advanced PVC) sits at the premium end around $20-30 per linear foot but offers the ultimate moisture resistance for New Brunswick's humid Maritime climate.

Installation timing matters in New Brunswick — fascia work is best done during the main building season (May through October) when contractors can work efficiently and materials aren't affected by freeze-thaw cycles. Many deck builders include basic PT fascia in their base pricing but charge extra for upgraded materials like composite or cedar.

The practical benefit of proper fascia extends beyond aesthetics. In New Brunswick's wet climate, exposed deck board ends and rim joists are vulnerable to moisture infiltration, which can lead to rot and structural issues over time. Quality fascia acts as a protective barrier while giving your deck a finished, professional appearance.

Professional installation is recommended for fascia work because it requires precise measuring, cutting, and attachment to ensure weather-tight seals. The fascia must be properly flashed and sealed to prevent moisture from getting behind it — a common source of deck deterioration in our Maritime climate.
