Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Tujunga
Roof replacement in Tujunga typically costs between $8,000 and $20,000, while targeted roof repair runs $400 to $1,800. The wildcard is fire code. Nearly every home in the 91042 and 91043 ZIP codes sits inside Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which means any permit pulled on Tujunga roofing triggers California Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, fire-rated eaves and soffits. That’s not a county-wide rule; it’s specific to hillside and canyon communities like ours. If you’re planning a roof, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property with you, code book in hand, before you commit to a number.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. He still lives twenty minutes away, and his sons run the roofing crews you’ll see in Tujunga on any given week. That’s the whole pitch: the owner answers his own phone, the crew lead is a Barrett, and the guarantee says if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. It’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
We’ve pulled permits and passed inspections on dozens of Roofing jobs in Tujunga. The hillside lots near the mouth of Big Tujunga Canyon are a different animal from valley-floor work in Sylmar or Pacoima. Loose alluvial soil, steep drainage, and fire-zone code compliance aren’t surprises to us. They’re the standard. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number for exactly that reason.
Our Roofing Services in Tujunga
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most Tujunga homes were built in the 1940s through 1960s, and their original roofs were never designed for modern fire codes. A full replacement in Tujunga typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, depending on roof pitch, decking condition, and the Chapter 7A materials the fire zone demands. We install GAF architectural shingles as our standard, and we always write the allowance for decking replacement into the contract before the first nail moves. When our crew opens a roof and finds charred framing from a past ember intrusion, you’ll get a written change order, not a surprise invoice.

Roof Leak Repair
Leaks in Tujunga are rarely simple. Santa Ana winds drive rain sideways into fascia and soffit gaps that flat-lot roofers never see. We trace the water, not just the stain. Repair work starts at $400 and runs up to $1,800 for structural fixes. On hillside homes near Big Tujunga Canyon, we check the drainage path first-steep alluvial slopes can back water up against the roof edge and rot the fascia before you ever see a ceiling stain.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is the single best fire-hardening investment a Tujunga homeowner can make. Installed correctly, it’s a Class A assembly that embers can’t ignite. Metal roof installation in Tujunga runs $15,000 to $40,000, and the range is wide because it depends on whether framing needs reinforcement and whether the existing decking can stay. Given the fire-weather exposure here-the San Gabriel topography accelerates Santa Ana events-metal is worth a serious look for any hillside property.

Specialty Roofing
Tile roofs are common in the ranch homes along the canyon rims, and we repair Spanish barrel tile and flat-profile clay tile without fracturing adjacent courses. Tile roof repair in Tujunga runs $600 to $2,500. We also handle specialty roof penetrations, skylights, and dormer re-flashing, with the same written change order discipline on every scope change. If the tile is decorative but the underlayment is shot, we’ll tell you straight before you spend money on replacement tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
We stock and install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing systems, and we keep common flashing, vent, and underlayment parts staged for Tujunga deliveries. That means a repair crew isn’t burning half a day driving back to a supply yard when your fascia rots mid-repair. If you’ve got a warranty claim on a GAF roof, we handle the manufacturer’s paperwork for you. We’d rather you spend your time picking a roof color than fighting a claim form.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Missing ember-resistant vents. Original 1940s and 1950s vents are just folded sheet metal with holes too large to stop wind-driven embers. During a Santa Ana event, those embers ride into the attic. A permit-triggered inspection will flag this immediately.
- Rotting eaves and soffits on older wood-framed roofs. Pre-Chapter 7A construction used undersized eaves that hold moisture and rot after years of canyon fog and rain. Once an inspector sees it, it has to be replaced before the roof sign-off.
- Drainage problems on sloped lots. Alluvial fan deposits near Big Tujunga Canyon mean water doesn’t sheet off the way it does on flat ground. Gutter systems can get overwhelmed, and fascia boards take the punishment.
- Charred framing from past ember intrusions. We’ve opened roof decking on hillside homes and found char marks from fires that never became structural failures. It’s a time bomb, and it’s exactly the kind of thing a roofing permit is designed to expose.

Here are real market ranges for Tujunga. These are for houses built in the 1940s through 1960s, the dominant stock in 91042 and 91043:

FAQs - Roofing in Tujunga
Yes. Nearly all of both Tujunga ZIP codes-91042 and 91043-fall inside Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That means any roofing permit triggers Chapter 7A: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and fire-rated eaves and soffits. Tijunga roofers working from valley-floor habits will get red-tagged. We plan for it from the first walk-through. Call (877) 610-1318 for a code-accurate quote.
They change the drainage equation. Water that would sheet cleanly off a valley floor roof can pool and back up against fascia and soffits where the ground is loose and steeply sloped. If footings need work-common on hillside lots-those alluvial deposits often require deeper caissons or grade beams. We check drainage before we quote, not after we’ve opened the roof.
For a 1940s or 1950s bungalow in Tujunga, expect $8,000 to $20,000 for a full replacement. The range moves with roof pitch, decking replacement, and the specific Chapter 7A materials your fire zone requires. Every line item goes in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Yes, in most cases. A localized leak repair doesn’t require a full Chapter 7A re-roof, but the moment a permit is pulled, any exposed eave, soffit, or vent that fails fire-safety review must be brought up to code. That’s where the surprise charges live, so we price it out before you sign. Roof leak repair in Tujunga runs $400 to $1,800.
Yes. When Santa Ana winds rip shingles or drop branches on roofs along the canyon rims, we can get a crew to your street quickly. Tarping stops the interior damage while we write the permanent repair scope. Live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll reach a human, not a voicemail box.
