Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Tujunga’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Tujunga homeowners ask two things of a roofer: do you understand what the wind does up here, and will you actually show up when you say you will. We answer both. Our crews have torn off and rebuilt roofs on the steep streets above Valmont, on the mid-century tracts near Apperson and Commerce, and on hillside builds where staging had to be engineered before the first shingle came off. That local repetition means we don’t guess at Tujunga conditions. We know them.

What separates Marquis from the flatland roofing companies that occasionally take a Tujunga call is the breadth of what we can actually put on your roof. We’re authorized to install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Seven manufacturer lines, one point of contact. When a homeowner on a post-Station-Fire hillside needs a Class A fire-rated assembly with ember-resistant venting, a dual-brand roofer often has one compliant option. We bring three or four to the table, then let the roof and the budget choose. That’s the Marquis standard. We investigate before we recommend, and the recommendation is never driven by what’s sitting in our yard this week.

Ron Thibodeau leads our Tujunga work. He’s the one who walks your roof, checks the nailing pattern on the ridge caps, and tells you whether the wind rating is actually holding. When a homeowner asks if their roof will survive the next Santa Ana, Ron’s the person answering. Written by Ron Thibodeau, Owner at Marquis Roof Repair, serving Tujunga since day one of the company.

Reroofing in Tujunga

Reroofing in Tujunga usually means a full tear-off down to the decking, replacement of any rotted or wind-damaged sheathing, new underlayment, and a complete shingle system with new flashing and ridge caps. Given the age of the housing stock here, most reroofs are on original or near-original roofs that have outlived their 20-to-25-year design life. A typical reroof on a 1960s or ’70s tract house in Tujunga runs $14,000 – $22,000 depending on square count, pitch, and whether the decking underneath has taken water over the years.

Decking and Underlayment

On Tujunga tear-offs we routinely find decking that’s structurally sound but has lost its fastener grip from 40 years of thermal cycling and wind flex. We don’t paper over that. Any sheathing that’s delaminated or soft gets replaced before the underlayment goes down. In the canyon-pitched homes off of McGroarty and above Haines Canyon, we also run ice and water shield through the valleys as standard practice, because the wind-driven rain that comes through those gaps is harder on valley metal than anything coastal LA sees.

Architectural Shingle Systems

When a Tujunga homeowner wants a roof that holds a high-wind rating and still looks like it belongs on a foothill home, we lean architectural. Atlas and IKO both make dimensional shingles rated for uplift conditions that match what the Santa Anas actually deliver through this canyon. The fastener count matters more than the shingle brand. We nail every course to the manufacturer’s high-wind pattern, including starter strip and ridge caps, because those are the first components to fail when a flatland crew applies a standard pattern to a wind-exposed Tujunga roof.

Flat Roof Replacement in Tujunga

Flat roof replacement in Tujunga most often comes up on the custom hillside builds and the occasional mid-century with a low-slope addition off the back. These are not the tar-and-gravel jobs of a commercial warehouse. They’re 300 to 900 square feet of modified bitumen or single-ply membrane, and they fail in Tujunga for two reasons: UV degradation from the intense high-desert sun and lifted seams at the parapet walls when the wind gets under the edge flashing. A flat roof replacement in this area typically runs $9,000 – $18,000 depending on membrane type, insulation recovery, and the condition of the parapet and scuppers.

Modified Bitumen Systems

On flat and low-slope sections of Tujunga homes where foot traffic is expected, modified bitumen is still the most common call. It handles the UV load better than aged single-ply, and repairs at seams and penetrations are straightforward. The weak point here is the parapet wall flashing. We strip it, check the sheathing behind it, and rebuild the metal before the new membrane goes on so the wind can’t peel it back like it does after a few neglected years in this climate.

Membrane and Edge Flashing Details

Whatever membrane we install on a Tujunga flat roof, the edge details are what determine how long it lasts. Drip edge, scupper boxes, and penetration boots all get inspected and replaced as needed during the job. A membrane can look perfect and still leak at the corners, which is where the heat and the wind work together to tear old flashing loose. We fix that on every flat replacement, not just the ones where the homeowner already sees the water coming in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga

We work with seven manufacturers, and for Tujunga homes the ones that matter most are Atlas, IKO, and Boral. Atlas and IKO produce dimensional shingles with high-wind fastener schedules that hold up to the Santa Ana load, and Boral manufactures the Class A fire-rated assemblies and ember-resistant roofing systems that hillside homes above the burn scar increasingly require. Our crews carry local stock for all three in the Burbank yard, which means no missed days waiting on a truck from Phoenix when a Tujunga homeowner needs a tear-off to move on schedule. The right material for your roof, not whatever material is leftover from the last flatland job.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Tujunga Homes

• Santa Ana wind uplift at ridge caps and starter strip. When fasteners are set to a flatland pattern instead of the high-wind nailing spec, the wind gets under the caps and peels them back like a loose thread. After the first big blow, the whole roof is compromised.
• Ember intrusion on hillside homes without Class A-rated vents. A roof surface can be fire-rated while the soffit and gable vents are wide open to wind-driven embers. In the canyons above the Station Fire burn scar, that’s a seasonal risk, not a theoretical one. We see it constantly.
• Wood-shake tear-off on steep slopes exposing decking longer than the schedule allows. Tujunga hillside homes with original wood shake often sit on pitches that require staging and fall protection before work starts. When specialty materials arrive late, the exposed decking sits under the sun for days. We order materials before we strip, so the opening stays closed as much as possible.
• Failed valley flashing on wind-driven rain exposures. The gap between the Verdugo foothills and the San Gabriels funnels rain sideways into valley metal. Older Tujunga roofs with nailed-through valleys and no ice and water shield leak at the valley seams long before the shingle field itself fails.
