Fire-zone re-roofs
Many Tujunga parcels near the canyons and forest edge sit in a mapped Fire Hazard Severity Zone. We look up the zone first, then specify the roof class and eave and vent details that go with it.
Roof replacement
Tujunga sits against the San Gabriel Mountains at the edge of the Angeles National Forest. Citium serves Tujunga homes from Glendale, and most re-roofs here start with wind exposure and the parcel's fire zone.
Tujunga is part of the Sunland-Tujunga community in the City of Los Angeles, the area that includes Mount Lukens and the Tujunga Wash. Homes here are closer to open brush and canyon wind than almost anywhere else we work.
Most houses are single-family with asphalt shingle roofs. Outbuildings, garages and older additions add low-slope sections to many properties.

Roof replacementCanyon winds strip ridge caps and lift edge shingles. We replace what is gone, reseal what is loose and check the flashing the wind may have opened.
Roof repairDetached garages, workshops and older additions often have low-slope torch-down or rolled roofing that has outlasted its life. We repair or replace them alongside the house roof or on their own.
Flat roof repairThe City of Los Angeles groups Tujunga with Sunland as Sunland-Tujunga. We use that public framing and well-known landmarks instead of inventing subdivision names.
Single-family streets with mid-century and later houses. Worn ridge caps and dried pipe boots are typical pre-winter repairs.
Addresses closer to the canyon and forest take the most wind and debris and are the most likely to sit in a fire hazard zone.

Asphalt shingles are the norm. Heat and sun on open slopes dry out the sealant strips, and wind then lifts shingles that looked fine from the ground.
Shingle roofing optionsTile is less common here than in Glendale or Pasadena but appears on some Mediterranean-style houses. Underlayment and flashing repairs matter more than swapping a few cracked tiles.
Clay and concrete tile roofingGarages, workshops and additions often carry torch-down or TPO. Wind-blown debris clogs their drains in winter.
TPO roofing Modified bitumen and torch-down roofingHot summers, Santa Ana winds and winter rain. After a wind event, check for shingles in the yard and clear valleys and drains you can reach safely before the next storm. On a steep or brittle roof, get an inspection instead of climbing up.
Check the parcel on the state Fire Hazard Severity Zone map before choosing a roofing material for a re-roof.

Tujunga is inside the City of Los Angeles, so re-roof permits go through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). We include the permit and inspection steps in the plan when a permit is required.
Tujunga homes are LADWP customers, so LADWP cool-roof programs may apply. Our article on the LADWP cool roof rebate covers how that works; check the current program terms before you count on it.
Our service pages are written for Glendale, where we are based. The process, materials and pricing factors are the same for Tujunga homes.
Detached garages, workshops and older additions often carry the oldest roofs on a Tujunga property. List them so the scope covers each one, or says clearly which are left out.
Say whether the house backs onto Big Tujunga Canyon, the forest edge or open brush. Wind exposure and the parcel's fire zone both depend on it.

Tujunga homes are LADWP customers. If you want to look into the cool roof rebate, say so before materials are chosen, because the product listing and the invoice details matter.
