Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Tujunga
A full roof replacement in Tujunga typically runs $9,500 to $22,000 depending on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and whether the home sits inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Most Tujunga replacements take 2 to 5 days once materials are on site. We know this market well because we’ve torn off and rebuilt roofs all through the canyon neighborhoods and flat valley floor around Foothill Boulevard. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll walk your roof before we quote anything.
What makes Tujunga different from roofing a house in the LA basin? The San Gabriel Mountains sit right behind you. That means canyon wind, ember exposure, irregular roof planes on hillside lots, and county permitting requirements that flatland contractors never deal with. We plan for all of it before the first shingle gets ordered.
Why Huntington Beach Roofers Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We work in Tujunga year-round, and the roofs we replace here share recurring conditions: mid-century framing, add-on sections from decades of piecemeal remodels, and original wood-shake roofs that dried out years before anyone noticed. Homeowners on Foothill Boulevard, Haines Canyon, and up Big Tujunga Canyon Road all face the same question when a leak shows up: is this a repair, or is it time to tear off and start over? We tell you which one actually makes sense, because our inspection process runs before any recommendation gets made.
Neil Stratton leads our crew, and he’s asked the same question on every Tujunga job: what does the roof actually need to survive this specific location? That question changes the answer. A ranch home on a flat lot near Foothill has different exposure than a hillside property backing up to Angeles National Forest. We do not sell the same system to every house.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Tujunga
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Tujunga is the most common job we do here, and for good reason: the housing stock supports it. Most Tujunga homes built between the 1940s and 1960s have simple gable or hip roof framing that handles architectural asphalt shingles well, and the product range available now gives homeowners options that did not exist when those roofs were first installed. A typical asphalt shingle replacement in Tujunga runs $9,500 to $16,500 for a 1,200 to 1,800 square foot roof, with tear-off and hauling included.
The wrinkle in Tujunga is underlayment. Homes at the base of the San Gabriels get hotter, drier summers than coastal Los Angeles, and that heat bakes aging felt paper until it shatters when we pull the old shingles. We inspect decking and underlayment during the tear-off and will not bury bad substrate under new material.
Tear-Off, Decking Repair, and Dry Rot
Older Tujunga roofs hide dry rot at the eaves and valleys, especially on homes with original wood-shake or 3-tab shingles that failed years ago. We price decking replacement per sheet and tell you exactly where rot showed up once the old roof comes off. That transparency matters on a canyon house; you do not want to discover rot after the new shingles are nailed down.
Fire-Zone-Rated Asphalt Systems
If your Tujunga home sits in or near the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the shingle itself is not the deciding factor. The assembly is: Class A rated shingles over a compliant underlayment, with proper flashing and eave details that resist ember intrusion. We spec the full system to the county’s requirements, not just the shingle on top.
New Roof Installation in Tujunga
New Roof Installation on a Tujunga acreage property or outbuilding is a different animal from reroofing an existing home. When there is no old roof to tear off, or when you’re building a detached ADU, shop, or garage, the work starts with sheathing, underlayment, and ventilation planning before the first shingle goes down. New roof installation in Tujunga typically runs $10,500 to $22,000 depending on size, insulation requirements, and whether the structure sits on flat ground or a cut slope.
Properties in the 91042 and 91043 ZIP codes often include outbuildings that were never on a permit record. That changes the scope. We check setback requirements, eave line heights, and drainage before quoting, because a new roof on an unpermitted structure may need to be brought to current code, not just covered with shingles.
Detached Garages, Shops, and ADUs
New construction and ADU roofs in Tujunga need insulation board, proper ventilation, and a roof assembly that meets Title 24 energy requirements. We handle the full stack from sheathing to ridge vent, and we pull the county permit so the inspection record is clean. A roof on an open lot has to be built right the first time; there is no existing structure hiding mistakes.
Long Hauls and Equipment Access
Acreage lots up canyon roads do not give a delivery truck much room to turn around. We plan material staging, tear-off disposal, and equipment access before the job starts so you are not stuck with a debris container blocking your driveway for an extra week. That planning is part of our written quote, not an afterthought.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
Seven brands. One contractor. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means we can match the material to the roof and the homeowner’s budget, not push a single line because it’s what the shop carries. For Tujunga’s fire-zone roofs, GAF Timberline and Atlas Class A systems get specified often. If you have an insurance claim that requires a certain brand, we can produce the documentation for it. Roof Replacement materials are available from multiple manufacturers without waiting on a single vendor. That matters when a fire season supply crunch hits and one brand goes backordered.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Brittle wood-shake roofs that fall inspection. Many original Tujunga homes still carry shake roofs from the 1940s and 1950s. In fire-zone disclosure, these are red flags, and full tear-off plus decking repair is often required before any new roof can go on.
- Flashing failures at irregular valleys. Hillside homes with add-on sections create multiple valleys and penetrations. Canyon storms force water sideways into these spots, and old flashing gives out before the shingles do.
- Ridge and soffit ventilation starving attics. Hot Tujunga summers bake attic spaces. We see ridge vents that were never installed correctly, soffit vents painted shut, and gable vents without matching intake. The new roof goes on over a breathing problem that should have been fixed during replacement.
- Unpermitted outbuildings with failing roofs. Shops, ADUs, and detached garages on acreage lots often have roofs that were never inspected. When the main house roof gets replaced, the outbuilding roof gets looked at too, and sometimes it’s in worse shape.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Tujunga
If your property falls within or adjacent to the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, yes, your replacement must use a Class A fire-rated assembly, which includes the shingle, underlayment, and specific details at eaves, valleys, and vents. The county enforces this through the permit and inspection process, and we build every Tujunga roof in the fire zone to that standard. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll check your specific parcel status.
We pull the county permit for every Tujunga roof replacement, including unincorporated properties where the county of Los Angeles, not the city of LA, has jurisdiction. That means the plan check, the inspection, and the final sign-off all run through the county’s fire and building requirements. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspections. The permit gets closed before we call the job done.
Hillside roofs in Tujunga have irregular planes, add-on sections, and often sit on slopes where access is tight. The underlying framing can be uneven, and old flashing at valleys tends to fail during canyon storms. On a hillside property off Big Tujunga Canyon Road, we replaced a dried-out wood-shake roof with a GAF Timberline Class A assembly. The original decking had gaps and brittle underlayment, and the irregular roof planes required custom flashing at every valley and penetration. We added ice and water shield in the valleys and upgraded to a ridge vent, giving the homeowner both wildfire protection and better attic ventilation.
We stage materials and equipment according to the property layout, which means planning the delivery truck route, identifying where the tear-off debris goes, and marking safe staging zones before demolition starts. On open acreage lots with outbuildings and detached ADUs, we coordinate multiple drop points so crews are not hauling bundles across the whole property by hand. This gets scoped during the initial inspection and shows up in the quote.
Ask each contractor whether they are quoting a Class A fire-rated assembly if your property is in the fire zone, whether the quote includes decking repair after tear-off, and whether county permit fees are included. A lower quote may leave out the fire-zone details or assume the decking is clean. That’s a problem on an older Tujunga roof, where the decking rarely is. Our quotes list every line item so you can compare apples to apples. Call (833) 467-4901 for a free estimate.
