Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Tujunga
Tujunga homeowners deal with a roof environment most of Los Angeles never thinks about. The sun is hotter against the Verdugo foothills, the Santa Anas hit harder through Big Tujunga Canyon, and embers from a brush fire don’t ask permission before landing on your shingles. A roof here needs to do three jobs at once: shed water, breathe in the heat, and stand up to fire risk that flat-lot neighborhoods in Sunland or Shadow Hills simply don’t face. If you’re looking at a roof repair or a full Roofing replacement in Tujunga, our crew knows the difference between a quick patch and what these canyon-adjacent homes actually need. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in a place like Tujunga, where word of mouth travels fast and a contractor’s reputation lives or dies on how he handles the follow-up. We also handle driveway & pavers in Tujunga with the same crew consistency. We don’t subcontract your roof out to a rotating cast of crews. The same people who walk your property are the people whose name is on the truck.
Tujunga customers call us for two reasons repeatedly. First, we show up when we say we will, and we answer the phone. Second, every price change comes in writing before the work starts, not as a surprise invoice at the end. That’s the part that matters to homeowners who’ve been burned before. The last thing anyone in the 91042 or 91043 ZIP codes needs is a roofer who quotes one number on the phone and hands them another at the door.
We know the hillside lots off Plainview Avenue, the older bungalows down near Foothill Boulevard, and the ranch homes climbing toward the national forest. We also know what inspectors in Tujunga expect, which saves you time and frustration when the permit gets pulled. No vague promises. Just a clear scope, a written estimate, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Our Roofing Services in Tujunga
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Tujunga usually runs $400-$1,800 depending on what’s failing. We see a lot of wind-lifted shingles, cracked flashing around chimneys, and valley leaks where two roof planes meet. Given the Santa Ana exposure up against the Angeles National Forest, a loose shingle here isn’t a cosmetic issue, it’s the start of a bigger problem. Most repairs get done same-visit, and the repair gets a written workmanship warranty.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Tujunga typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a standard single-family home. The range depends on square footage, tear-off work, and whether the home falls in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which most of Tujunga does. That zone triggers Chapter 7A materials and details that matter: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and fire-rated eaves. We handle the compliance side as part of the job, including pulling the permit and scheduling the inspection.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Tujunga runs $15,000-$40,000, with standing seam systems at the higher end. Metal handles Santa Ana winds better than almost anything, and it carries a Class A fire rating, which matters on hillside lots near Big Tujunga Canyon. We install GAF metal lines and standing seam options, and we’ll tell you honestly whether metal makes sense for your roofline or whether a high-quality composition roof serves you better.

Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Tujunga runs $600-$2,500. A lot of the older homes up toward the canyon mouths were built with barrel tile, and those tiles crack under foot traffic, tree fall, and the occasional wind-thrown branch. We match existing tile profiles and color as closely as possible, and we keep our walk patterns light so one repair doesn’t become five.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
We install and repair GAF roofing systems and we stand behind them. GAF materials carry some of the strongest wind and fire ratings in the industry, and they hold up under the sun exposure Tujunga hillsides dish out. Because we stock common GAF shingle colors and flashing parts locally for our Tujunga customers, repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment from across the country. You get a brand you can look up and a crew that knows how to install it correctly.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Santa Ana wind damage along ridgelines and eaves. The tight topography above Tujunga accelerates wind through Big Tujunga Canyon, and the first things to go are ridge caps and edge shingles. We check those zones on every repair call because they never fail alone.
- Ember intrusion into old vent systems. Homes built in the 1940s through 1960s often have open soffit vents and loose flashing at roof-to-wall transitions. In a wind-driven fire, that’s an entry point for embers. Upgrading to ember-resistant vents is part of many Tujunga roof replacements.
- Cracked plumbing boot flashings on aging composition roofs. The rubber boots around vent pipes dry out and split under direct foothill sun faster than homeowners expect. It’s a small fix that prevents a slow, expensive leak inside the ceiling.
- Post-fire debris accumulation in valleys and gutters. After the Station Fire destabilized the slopes above Tujunga, more loose material washes down in heavy rain. Valleys pack with debris and gutters clog fast, and standing water begins backing under the shingles at the eaves.

FAQs - Roofing in Tujunga
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, and our crews stage locally so response to Tujunga is typically same-day for emergencies. The real question is whether the roof needs temporary protection first, and we’ll tell you plainly if it does. Call (877) 610-1318 and describe what you’re seeing.
Yes. We work across both 91042 and 91043, including the canyon-adjacent streets off Big Tujunga Canyon Road, the older lots around Foothill Boulevard, and the hillside neighborhoods up toward the Angeles National Forest boundary. Hillside access sometimes changes the estimate, but it doesn’t change our willingness to do the work. We’re also happy to discuss our Home Additions & ADU in Tujunga if you’re looking to expand. No trip charge inside the county.
Generally yes, and it should be. Most of Tujunga sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which requires Chapter 7A ignition-resistant materials that valley-floor homes in Burbank or Sunland do not have to meet. That means Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and fire-rated eaves. A Tujunga roof replacement typically runs $8,000-$20,000 versus a comparable valley home at the lower end of that range. We include the compliance work in the line-item estimate so there’s no surprise at the end.
Every roof we complete carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. On top of that, GAF materials carry their manufacturer warranty, and we register the warranty in your name. The workmanship warranty is in writing, on the contract, not hidden in a drawer.
Only if there’s a written change order first, and only after you’ve approved it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. In Tujunga, we occasionally find rotted decking or old fire damage under the shingles that no one could see from the top. When that happens, we show you the problem, write the change order, and get your signature before the work moves forward. You’ll never see a line item you didn’t authorize.
