Fire‑ready roofing in Sunland‑Tujunga, Los Angeles, CA 91040
Sunland-Tujunga fills a foothill valley between the San Gabriel and Verdugo mountains, with early cabins, stone bungalows, ranch houses and newer homes on the slopes. Brush on every side makes fire the first thing we plan around on a roof here.
- Answered 24/7
- Class A roofs
- Foothill homes
In Sunland-Tujunga we replace roofs with Class A assemblies, add ember-resistant vents and sealed edges, repair older cabin and bungalow roofs, and fix storm leaks off the mountains. Sunland-Tujunga is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, and calls are answered 24/7.
Cabins, stone bungalows and hillside homes
The housing here is more mixed than most of the valley. Early cabins and river-rock bungalows sit next to post-war ranch houses and newer homes up the slopes, and the older roofs often hide skip sheathing and repairs layered over repairs.
On any home that backs onto brush, a re-roof is the moment to close the gaps embers use: a Class A covering, ember-resistant vents, boxed eaves and metal edges, and gutters that don't hold dry leaves.

The 2017 La Tuna Fire in the Verdugo Mountains, at the time the largest fire by acreage in Los Angeles city history, forced evacuations on streets in Sunland-Tujunga. Most homes here still face that risk every fall. The roof is the largest surface an ember can land on, so on every re-roof in Sunland-Tujunga we quote the Class A covering, the vents and the edge details together rather than as add-ons.
LADBS permits and the fire zone
Sunland-Tujunga is part of the City of Los Angeles, so re-roof permits come from LADBS. Much of the area is mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which calls for a Class A roof and ember-resistant vents.
