Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Tujunga
Roof replacement in Tujunga typically runs between $11,000 and $22,000 for a standard single-family home, with acreage properties on unincorporated county land often reaching $18,000 to $30,000 once access, decking, and permitting are factored in. Those are real ranges we quote from this market, not national averages. If you’re on a hillside street above Foothill Blvd or out on a canyon parcel, the numbers shift for reasons we’ll explain below. The short version: Tujunga roofs take more abuse than most of Los Angeles, and we scope them accordingly. Call us at (833) 467-4846 for a free estimate based on your actual roof, not a formula.
Why Tilecraft Roofing Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We work with seven major roofing manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means when we walk a Tujunga roof, we’re not fitting your house to whatever we happen to stock. We’re matching the material to the exposure, the pitch, the fire zone, and the insurance requirements. A west-facing slope that catches Santa Ana wind needs a different shingle than a shaded canyon bungalow. We look before we quote, and that changes what ends up on your roof.
Ruben Castellano leads our crews, and he’s been on enough Tujunga parcels to know what happens when original wood-shake and low-slope composition roofs meet dry heat, wind, and time. Our customers in Tujunga appreciate that we’ll tell them when a repair is the honest call and when replacement is the only call. That’s the inspection-first position we’ve held from the start. We’re not pushing replacement on a roof that has years left. We’re documenting what we find and pricing the scope that’s actually there.
We also understand the two-permit reality in Tujunga. Some addresses run through City of Los Angeles. Others sit on unincorporated LA County land with a Sunland-Tujunga mailing address and a county building department. That distinction changes plan-check timelines, inspection schedules, and what needs to be on the drawings. We handle both paths regularly and factor the right one into your quote before we start.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Tujunga
As a roof replacement contractor working throughout Tujunga, we scope every job from the decking up. That’s how you avoid the costly discovery of rotten plywood after tear-off, when the crew is already on-site and the dumpster is already full. On the older ranches and bungalows that dominate the 91042 and 91043 ZIP codes, original decking is often the weak link. If it’s delaminated or soft, we re-deck before any new underlayment goes down. If it’s sound, we leave it and re-roof cleanly. The price difference is honest and documented either way.
Full Replacement With Tear-Off
We pull the old roof to the deck, inspect every sheet, and replace what’s failed. Then new underlayment, ice and water shield through valleys and penetrations, new drip edge, and the shingle or tile system you chose. A full tear-off on a typical Tujunga ranch runs $12,000 to $19,000 for architectural asphalt. If you’re on a large unincorporated parcel with outbuildings, expect to add for the structures and the access.
New Construction and Add-On Sections
Tujunga has a lot of piecemeal additions: a covered porch closed in, a second story added in the 1980s, a detached ADU off the driveway. The tie-in points between original roof and add-on are where we see the worst flashing failures. When we replace, we re-flash every valley and penetration so the next roof doesn’t leak where the old one did.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Tujunga
An asphalt shingle roof replacement in Tujunga runs $9,500 to $17,000 for architectural laminate on a standard home, and more when the roof has odd pitches, multiple add-on sections, or long runs that need full re-decking. Architectural shingles are the right call for most of these houses: they handle sun and wind better than three-tab, and the installed cost difference is modest against a product that lasts longer. Atlas and IKO both make architectural lines we regularly install on foothill lots.
Architectural Shingles for Wind-Exposed Slopes
On west-facing slopes above Foothill Blvd, Santa Ana events peel cheap ridge caps and lift aging shingles year after year. Architectural shingles have more weight and better seal strips, but the ridge line is still the failure point. We upgrade ridge attachment on windward exposures and we inspect the siding-to-roof junction where lifted shingles let wind get underneath.
Roof Decking Replacement
Decking replacement is part of many Tujunga teardowns, especially on the 1940s-1960s ranches that predate modern plywood standards. If sheets have dried, delaminated, or are too thin for the shingle system, we replace them before underlayment goes down. You’ll know our decking scope before we start, not after. We don’t write change orders mid-tear-off.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
Tilecraft Roofing installs and services roofing systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Tujunga’s climate, we often recommend IKO or Atlas architectural shingles for their balanced cost and wind performance. Tamko offers a solid mid-range laminate that holds up well on hot south-facing slopes. And because we run a Boral partnership, we can handle the premium tile systems that some canyon and horse-property owners want when their original shake comes off. We stock local material access for Tujunga jobs, which keeps lead times short and matches your roof to the product that fits it, not to whatever is sitting in a warehouse.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Santa Ana wind damage on exposed acreage. With no neighboring structures to break the wind, west-facing roofs on larger parcels take direct hits. Ridge caps lift first, then the top three or four courses begin to flutter and tear.
- Dry-rot and delaminated decking under old composition. The sun on south- and west-facing slopes bakes roofs for years. When we pull the old shingles, the plywood underneath is frequently brittle and failing, which is why decking replacement is a common line item here.
- Poor flashing at add-on tie-ins. Tujunga has a lot of homes that grew in pieces: a porch enclosed in the 1970s, a second-story added in the 1980s. The valleys where sections join are where we see water intrusion that a city-lot scoping would miss.
- Outbuilding and detached ADU roofs on county parcels. If the main house needs replacement, the barn, shop, or detached unit often shows the same age and exposure. We scope all structures at once, which saves you a second mobilization and a second permit cycle.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Tujunga, CA
A standard architectural shingle roof replacement on a Tujunga city-lot ranch runs $11,000 to $19,000. The same scope on an unincorporated county parcel with outbuildings, long driveway access, or add-on sections runs $18,000 to $30,000. The main cost drivers here are decking condition, roof pitch and complexity, the number of structures under one permit, and your parcel’s fire zone, which can push the material spec to Class A assemblies with ember-resistant detailing. A full tear-off with re-decking on a 1950s ranch is not the same job as a clean-over on a newer build. We quote after we inspect, and we show you the line items. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free estimate. You’ll know the real number before you commit to anything.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Tujunga
Yes, if your parcel sits on unincorporated LA County land, which is common for the horse-property and canyon addresses with Tujunga or Sunland mailing addresses. County plan-check is a different path than City of Los Angeles, often with different inspection schedules and fire-zone requirements. We confirm your parcel’s jurisdiction before we quote, so your permit is filed with the right agency the first time. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll pull the parcel details for you.
The Santa Ana events that funnel through Haines Canyon and Big Tujunga Wash hit west-facing slopes hard, and ridge caps are the first point of failure. On large, exposed lots there’s no neighboring structure to break the wind, so the ridge line takes the full uplift. We address this with upgraded ridge attachment and a shingle system that resists lift at the edges. If you’re replacing caps every year, the roof is telling you something. Call (833) 467-4846 to have us look at your ridge line.
Yes. Many Tujunga homes sit in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and insurers are increasingly writing policies conditioned on Class A roof assemblies and ember-resistant detailing. A Class A architectural shingle system with the right underlayment and flashing shows the insurer you’ve done the roof documentation they’re asking for. We know the VHFHSZ map, and we quote to the material spec your parcel needs, not a generic assembly. Get a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your parcel requires.
We stage materials and a debris trailer in one pass when possible, especially on narrow canyon driveways where a second or third trip blocks the access road. On a sloped parcel off Haines Canyon Road, our crew re-decked an add-on section of a 1950s ranch where the original plywood had dried and delaminated under decades of sun. We replaced the decking, laid ice and water shield through the irregular valleys where the add-on met the main pitch, and set a Class A architectural shingle assembly with new drip edge and ridge vent. The long material haul up that driveway meant staging everything once so we weren’t blocking the access road. We plan access before we quote, not after we arrive. Call (833) 467-4846 and describe your driveway; we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
Multiple structures, decking condition across each, access and staging distances, and the county permit path all change the scope. An open lot with a house, a barn, and a detached ADU is not three roofs quoted separately; it’s one job with one mobilization and one permit, but more material and more labor than a single city-lot roof. We scope every structure under one quote so you see the full number before you start. A free estimate from us includes exactly that. Call (833) 467-4846.
