Patio cover and addition leaks
Low-slope patio covers and older additions tie into the house with flashing that ages faster than the main roof. Rebuilding that joint fixes most of these leaks.

Roofing for Sunland homes and lots
Sunland is the western half of the Sunland-Tujunga community in the City of Los Angeles, near the Tujunga Wash. Many lots are larger than in the central valley cities, and many properties have a patio cover, detached garage or older addition alongside the main house.
Those secondary roofs are often the first to leak. The main house is usually asphalt shingle, with tile on some Spanish and Mediterranean homes.

Shingle roof repairs
Dried pipe boots, lifted shingles on exposed slopes and worn ridge caps are typical Sunland repairs, and they usually show up after the first real rain.

Roof systems on Sunland homes
Asphalt shingles
Most Sunland houses have asphalt shingles. Heat breaks down the sealant strips, and wind then lifts shingles that looked fine from the street.
Shingle roofing optionsClay and concrete tile
Tile is less common than shingle but present on some homes. Repairs focus on underlayment, flashing and bird stops while saving sound tile.
Clay and concrete tile roofingTPO and torch-down (low-slope)
Patio covers, garages and additions often have torch-down, TPO or older rolled roofing. Seam and drain problems show up after the first storm of the season.

Sunland weather and roof concerns
Sunland gets the northeast valley pattern: hot summers, Santa Ana winds and winter rain. Keep branches trimmed back from the roof where you can do it safely, and clear visible debris from valleys and low-slope drains after wind.
Some Sunland parcels near the mountains may sit in a mapped Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Check before choosing a re-roof material.

What to tell us about a Sunland roof
Patio covers
Describe any patio cover tied into the house and where it leaks. Most of these leaks start at the joint with the wall or the main roof.
Gates and long driveways
Larger Sunland lots often have gates, long driveways or a back structure far from the street. Tell us how a crew gets to the roof so material drops can be planned.
Near the wash or the Verdugos
Addresses close to the Tujunga Wash or the Verdugo Mountains collect more dust and debris. Photos of the drains and valleys help us see the problem before the visit.

Sunland roofing FAQs
Does Citium work in Sunland?
Yes. Sunland is one of our seven service cities, along with Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, La Crescenta, Tujunga and Alhambra. Call 818-531-1277 to schedule.
Should I read the Sunland or the Tujunga page?
Use whichever matches your address. We serve both the same way; each page keeps its local notes specific.
My patio cover leaks where it meets the house. Is that a big repair?
Usually not. The leak is almost always at the flashing where the low-slope cover ties into the wall or main roof. Rebuilding that joint is a repair, not a re-roof.
Who issues roofing permits in Sunland?
LADBS, because Sunland is in the City of Los Angeles. We include permit steps in the plan when one is required.
Can you inspect every roof on a property I am buying?
Yes. Tell us about the house, garage and any patio covers when you book, and share the escrow timeline. We photograph each roof and explain what needs work.
