    I would advise doing the shingles first. Not only do you need to get it done right away because bad weather is just around the corner, but it will be easier for the trim work to be done afterwards because you don't run the risk of damaging the trim in the process of replacing the shingles, among other considerations. Have been in the roofing business 15+ years.

    Do the soffits, then the fascia, then put roof on. Does not need to be done like that, can do any way you want, just easier to do the trim and stuff before the roof is messed with.

    Yup. It's usually a lot extra to include those. I'm in the process of getting quotes for having all of that done and the soffit and fascia are never included.

    roof. you do not want more leaks. you can get free bids at www.servicemagic.com

    Source(s): replaced a roof on my home. shingles were not properly nailed down by builder. builder defect caused massive damage. They cheaped out and tried to save $200 but it cost me a couple thousand for their cost cutting.
