Tujunga Roof Coating

Most Tujunga flat roofs do not need tearing off — they need cleaning, repairing and sealing. Hillside exposure means long afternoon sun and the first of the Santa Ana winds, which is hard on a flat roof's surface and its flashings.

What you get out of it

A silicone system at the right thickness over a properly prepped roof gives you ten years and up, and acrylic is close behind on a roof that drains well. Both systems are renewable: when the time comes you wash the roof and add another coat instead of starting over, which is why building owners keep coming back to them.

The cost side of coating

Because the work is additive, most buildings stay open and in use while we are on the roof.

A coating runs well under the cost of a tear-off and replacement, and there is no dumpster, no demolition and no days of noise over the tenants' heads.

What the work looks like

• Inspect and measure, including core tests where we need to know what is under the membrane
• Clean the roof — power wash, remove dirt, chalk and loose coating
• Repair: cracks, open seams, failed flashing, blisters and bad penetrations
• Prime where the substrate calls for it
• Apply the coating in multiple passes to the specified thickness, seams and details first
• Final walk for even coverage and thickness, then clean up the site

Choosing the system for your Tujunga roof

• Silicone: the pick for roofs that pond. It handles standing water, resists UV without turning brittle, and lasts longest of the two.
• Acrylic: the pick for roofs that drain clean. Lower cost per square, excellent reflectivity, and easy to recoat later.
• Both go down seamless, so there are no laps or fasteners for water to work into.
• Both drop the roof surface temperature sharply, which shows up on the cooling bill of a conditioned building.

Serving Tujunga and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Tujunga and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Sunland, Shadow Hills and Burbank.

Working in Tujunga

Ask any crew that works Los Angeles County and they will tell you the same thing - gusts funnel down the canyons and lift anything not fastened right. We are roughly 14 miles north of Tujunga, close enough for a same-day look at a leak.

Crews rotate through Sunland, Shadow Hills and Burbank, so nothing about these streets is new to us.

• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• Where an HOA sets colour or material rules, we match the approved list before the job is quoted.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.

Insurance work moves faster when the damage is documented before the next storm. Everything starts with a free inspection and a written number for your Tujunga property.

When coating makes sense in Tujunga

A coating earns its keep on a roof with these problems:

• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body

When coating is the wrong call

A coating needs a dry, sound roof underneath. When a Tujunga roof does not have that, the honest answer is a replacement, and we will quote it that way.

Standards we hold on every Tujunga job

Edges are fastened to spec because that is where uplift starts.

• Any rot found under the old layers is swapped before anything new goes down.
• Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.
• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Intake and exhaust are balanced on the same visit - a sealed attic cooks a new roof early.

The estimate is free. Call (818) 277-6626 and we will measure your Tujunga roof, check the deck, seams and drains, and tell you plainly whether coating is the right call.

Timing the work in Tujunga

Dry-season work is cheaper and safer, because the whole job happens on dry decking. Once the first storm is on the ten-day forecast the calendar in Tujunga tightens fast, and emergency work costs more than planned work.

Cheap work shows up at the details: a flashing sealed instead of replaced, a vent reused because it was quicker, decking covered because nobody wanted the conversation. Those are the roofs we get called back to in two winters.

What goes wrong when it is done cheap

The questions we hear most in Tujunga are about price, timing and whether a repair will hold. We answer all three before you commit, and we put the answers in writing.
