Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Tujunga
Roof replacement in Tujunga runs $11,000 to $24,000 for a typical single-family home, depending on size, tear-off conditions, and the shingle line you choose. We’ve worked the hillside streets off Foothill Boulevard and through the canyon-adjacent pockets long enough to know what your roof actually goes through: intense UV, Santa Ana wind gusts, and ember exposure that flatland roofer crews rarely plan for. Our team at Orange County Roofing Co handles the full replacement from tear-off to final inspection, and we make sure the assembly meets both LA building code and the fire-rated requirements your hillside location often triggers. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk the roof with you before quoting anything.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re not a one-brand shop that has to sell you whatever shingle line we’re stuck with. Kurt Hensley built this company on carrying seven major manufacturers so the right product wins, not the one with the highest contractor margin. That matters in Tujunga, where a fire-rated architectural shingle from GAF might make more sense on one street and a Boral option on another, depending on slope exposure and how close the brush line sits to the fascia.
Tujunga homeowners call us because we show up prepared for what a 1940s or 1960s roof actually reveals when the old shingles come off. We’ve replaced decks on ranch homes near the wash and re-sheathed bungalows up by the canyon mouths. The inspection happens before the bid, not after the contract is signed.
Response to Tujunga is straightforward for us. We schedule around your availability and keep the job moving once it starts. A typical tear-off and full replacement here takes one to three days, with the final day reserved for the inspection walkthrough and cleanup.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Tujunga
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Tujunga does more than swap shingles. The job starts with a tear-off down to the decking, an honest assessment of what’s underneath, and a decision on what gets replaced before anything new goes down. In Tujunga, that assessment often reveals more than expected because so many homes date to the mid-century build-out, and the original materials have spent decades baking under foothill sun and taking wind-driven grit off the canyons. A full replacement here typically runs $11,000 to $24,000 for the complete scope, including decking repair allowances where needed.
What a full replacement includes
We remove all existing shingles and underlayment, inspect the decking board by board, replace anything that’s soft or crumbling at the fasteners, and install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles. Valleys and penetrations get reinforced because those are the first places a Santa Ana wind event finds a way in.
When a Tujunga home needs it
If your roof is older than 20 years, has wind-scoured tabs that curl or lift at the edges, or has leaked at penetrations after the last heavy rain, you’re in replacement territory. Homes in the 91042 and 91043 ZIP codes sit at the edge of the Verdugo foothills where those conditions show up early.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Tujunga
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Tujunga is the most common scope we write estimates for, and it’s a smart choice here when you pick the right shingle for the exposure. Architectural asphalt shingles handle Tujunga’s dry heat and wind better than three-tab, and they’re available in fire-rated assemblies that align with the brush-clearance zone requirements in the hillside neighborhoods. A full asphalt shingle replacement in Tujunga runs $11,000 to $19,000 on most homes, with the final number driven by square footage, roof pitch, and the condition of the decking underneath.
Architectural shingle options
We install architectural shingles from GAF, Atlas, and several other manufacturers we stock. These are heavier than three-tab, stand up to wind uplift much better, and carry manufacturer-backed warranty options that make sense on a Tujunga roofline that faces the canyon winds directly.
Decking and underlayment upgrade
On older Tujunga homes, the shingle is only half the story. We quote a decking allowance per sheet up front so when the tear-off exposes crumbled original sheathing, you already know the per-sheet cost and nothing lands as a surprise change order.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas, among the seven manufacturers we carry. That range matters in Tujunga because your street and your exposure should drive the shingle choice, not a brand we happen to be pushing that month. If you want a fire-rated architectural shingle with a strong wind warranty, we’ll show you the options and the price difference in writing. If you need to hit a budget on a rental property near the wash, we’ll show you that too. Ordering for Tujunga projects is quick because we keep common architectural shingle colors and accessories in stock, so once your estimate is approved, materials aren’t the holdup.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Wind-scoured shingle tabs that look fine from the street. Santa Ana gusts funnel through the canyon mouths and lift shingle edges over time. The damage is only obvious once you’re standing on the roof looking at the leading edges.
- Dried-out, cracked underlayment under shingles that still have color. The UV and heat age the felt faster than the shingle above it. So a tear-off reveals paper that’s lost its flexibility and lets water straight through at nail holes.
- Original 1920s to 1960s sheathing that crumbles at the fasteners. Many Tujunga ranch and bungalow homes still sit on their original 1x decking. Once the shingles come off, those boards often split when we try to re-nail anything into them, which means redecking squares get added mid-job.
- Deferred flashing failures at valleys and penetrations. After a long dry spell, the first heavy rain exposes flashing that quietly failed years earlier. The combination of heat expansion, wind movement, and old caulking means the leak shows up all at once.

A full roof replacement in Tujunga runs $11,000 to $24,000. An asphalt shingle replacement on a standard ranch or bungalow usually lands between $11,000 and $19,000. What moves the number: roof square footage, the pitch, how much decking gets replaced once the tear-off exposes what’s underneath, and whether the property sits in a brush-clearance zone that triggers fire-rated assembly requirements. We write the decking allowance into your contract up front as a per-sheet price, so you know the cost before the wood is opened. No change order goes forward without your written approval.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Tujunga
Yes, many Tujunga homes in the hillside streets off the canyon mouths sit inside Los Angeles brush-clearance and WUI zones, which can require a fire-rated roof assembly and defensible-space clearance. We check this on every estimate before we quote. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll confirm what applies to your property.
We replace the affected boards at a per-sheet price that’s written into your contract before we start. On a 1950s ranch off the canyon mouths, our crew tore off three tab shingles and found wind-scoured tabs and dried-out, brittle underlayment over original 1x sheathing that crumbled at the fasteners. We replaced the decking, laid ice and water shield in the valleys, and set a fire-rated architectural shingle assembly with a full starter strip and ridge vent, documenting every board before and after. You approve any added decking in writing before we install it.
Put the two scopes side by side and check three things: the underlayment type, the decking replacement allowance, and whether the shingle is fire-rated and wind-rated for your exposure. A lower bid that assumes no decking replacement and uses cheap felt underlayment will almost certainly come back with change orders on a Tujunga hillside tear-off. Ask each bidder to show you the per-sheet decking price and the shingle wind rating in writing.
Yes, a properly rated architectural shingle holds up to Tujunga’s wind conditions far better than three-tab, especially with a full starter strip and correct nailing pattern. We install architectural shingles from GAF, Atlas, and other manufacturers with wind warranties that cover the gusts that come off the canyons. The bigger failure point on Tujunga roofs is often the underlayment and flashing, not the shingle itself.
Because the damage on Tujunga roofs usually sits in the underlayment, flashing, and shingle edges, not the visible face. Wind scour lifts the tabs just enough to break the seal without being obvious from the ground, and the underlayment bakes dry under the foothill heat. A proper inspection requires walking the roof and looking at the edges, valleys, and penetrations up close. We offer inspection as a standalone service, so you can find out exactly what your roof needs without committing to a replacement.
