Hello forum,

we are building a house, a townhouse with a 50cm (20 inches) roof overhang all around. Our standard roof soffits are made of wood. I am worried that due to weather exposure, they will look completely worn out in 10 years.

The construction company is charging an additional 2,300€ for plastic soffits.

Is this justified? I had assumed that plastic would generally be cheaper than wooden soffits.

We have to pay an additional charge for this. The exact amount is not yet determined as we are still waiting for the offer. However, I estimate it will be around 1000€.

Nevertheless, it is worth it for us. Painting again in 10 years would likely cost about the same, including scaffolding, since it is a two-story building.

In white, no additional cost.
In anthracite, approximately 300–500 Euro more.
Still waiting for the quote.
