AfterConstruction in Tujunga, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Tujunga typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether your 1950s ranch home needs electrical panel or wall repairs once the cabinets come down. Most Tujunga homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, which means original wiring, wood siding at the wildland-urban interface, and kitchen layouts that predate modern ventilation and fire codes. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll put the number in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Tujunga Homes Are Different
Tujunga sits directly against the San Gabriel Mountains inside LA City’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). That is not a paperwork footnote. It means any re-roof, room addition, or exterior remodel must meet ignition-resistant material standards: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, fire-rated siding. A re-roof on one side of a street might trigger a $4,000 to $6,000 fire-resistant material upgrade while the neighbor one block downhill faces no such requirement. The VHFHSZ boundary runs unevenly at the parcel level, so the first step on any Tujunga estimate is a parcel lookup on the LADBS fire-zone map.
The housing stock compounds this. Tujunga’s post-WWII wood-frame bungalows and ranch homes carry original wood siding, attic venting that no longer meets code, and electrical panels undersized for a modern kitchen or ADU. Remodeling almost always triggers LADBS upgrades. Add the canyon-mouth geography, where Santa Ana winds funnel harder than the open valley floor and hillside runoff concentrates during rain events, and you have a set of conditions that reward contractors who document compliance rather than hope for the best.
Our Main Tujunga Services
Two services come up more than any other in Tujunga: fencing at the wildland boundary and driveway or paver work on sloped, erosive lots. Both live on their own pages with full pricing.
Fence Installation in Tujunga
Tujunga’s canyon winds and fire-zone requirements change how fencing gets specified. Wood fencing near the wildland interface must account for ember exposure, and hillside lots often need retaining or stepped fence lines. We quote the post depth, concrete footing, and fire-rated material honestly before starting. See the full Tujunga pricing detail on Fence Installation in Tujunga.
Driveway & Pavers in Tujunga
Sloped Tujunga driveways concentrate runoff. Engineered grading, drainage swales, and erosion control are standard parts of any paver or concrete driveway job here, not add-ons. We write that into the scope and the flat price before work begins. For line-item paver and concrete ranges, visit Driveway & Pavers in Tujunga.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Tujunga
A full kitchen remodel in Tujunga typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the largest cost swings come from what the walls reveal: undersized electrical panels on 1940s ranch homes, plumbing that predates modern dishwashers, and structural repairs where termite or water damage has worked through original wood framing. We quote flat written prices under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, so the number is set before demolition starts. Our Kitchen Remodeling practice writes every cabinet brand, countertop slab, and permit upgrade into the scope.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Your Tujunga kitchen has failing original cabinets, a layout that traps heat in summer, or electrical capacity that cannot run a modern range and microwave simultaneously.
What it costs in Tujunga
Full kitchen remodeling in Tujunga runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop slab, and the extent of electrical or plumbing upgrades required by LADBS.
How we do it
We photograph existing conditions, pull the VHFHSZ parcel check, write a line-item scope with brand names, and begin only after the signed change-order protocol is in place.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Cabinet faces are delaminating, drawer slides have failed, or the countertop is cracked and water is reaching the substrate below.
What it costs in Tujunga
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000 and countertop installation $2,000 to $6,500 in Tujunga, with the countertop figure including slab templating and seam placement.
How we do it
We specify cabinet brands like KraftMaid or Wellborn and countertop slabs from Cambria or Caesarstone, then deliver a written quote with those exact names on it.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Backsplash installation | $800 - $2,500 |
Does the VHFHSZ boundary affect kitchen remodels in Tujunga?
Indirectly, yes. Kitchen work rarely triggers fire-zone siding requirements, but any wall opened on a Tujunga home often reveals outdated wiring or venting that LADBS requires brought to current code. That upgrades the scope. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price.
Do you pull permits for kitchen remodeling in Tujunga?
Permits are pulled and inspections are passed on every kitchen remodel, and the permit path is written into the scope before work starts. Call (470) 298-9650 to get your estimate in writing.
Bathroom Remodeling in Tujunga
Bathroom remodeling in Tujunga runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full job, with small bathroom remodels landing between $5,000 and $12,000. The hidden cost driver in Tujunga is what sits behind original 1940s-to-1960s tile: corroded cast-iron drain lines, water-damaged subfloor, and walls that were never fitted with modern waterproofing membrane. Our Bathroom Remodeling crews write the substrate condition into the quote before any tile comes off.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Your existing shower leaks at the curb, grout is cracking along the floor-wall joint, or the shower pan has failed and water is reaching the subfloor.
What it costs in Tujunga
Walk-in shower installation in Tujunga runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the range driven by whether the existing drain location stays or moves.
How we do it
We install a waterproof membrane system, document the wet-area condition with photos, and specify the exact valve and fixture brands in the written quote.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The cast-iron tub is chipped or rusting, the tub surround leaks, or the household needs a curbless entry for mobility reasons.
What it costs in Tujunga
Tub-to-shower conversion in Tujunga runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on drain relocation and whether the existing cast-iron pipe needs replacement.
How we do it
We remove the tub, inspect and photograph the drain line, install a new waterproof shower system, and hand you a documented photo record of the finished wet area.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Full bathroom remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Shower replacement | $3,000 - $8,500 |
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Tujunga?
Most Tujunga bathroom remodels run 3 to 6 weeks once permits are issued. LADBS inspections add time, and we schedule them in the written scope. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact timeline with your quote.
Will the price change once work starts on my Tujunga bathroom?
No work proceeds on a change until a signed change order is in place. That discipline keeps our projects within a few percent of the agreed price. Call (470) 298-9650 to see a written quote format.
Roofing in Tujunga
Roof replacement in Tujunga runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the single largest variable is the fire-zone parcel line. Homes inside the VHFHSZ need Class A ignition-resistant roofing and ember-resistant vents, a $4,000 to $6,000 material upgrade that homes one street outside the boundary do not face. Canyon-mouth Santa Ana winds also increase wind-load demands on roof assemblies in Tujunga. Our Roofing work specifies the shingle or tile brand and wind-zone nailing pattern in writing.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Your Tujunga roof has two or more shingle layers, granule loss at downspouts, or lifted shingles along the windward slope that faces the canyon mouth.
What it costs in Tujunga
Roof replacement in Tujunga runs $8,000 to $20,000, with the VHFHSZ material upgrade adding $4,000 to $6,000 on parcels inside the fire zone.
How we do it
We check the LADBS fire-zone map at the parcel level, specify Class A material if required, and write every removal layer and nailing pattern into the quote.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You have water staining on the ceiling after a Santa Ana wind event, visible cracked tiles, or missing shingles along the ridge.
What it costs in Tujunga
Roof repair in Tujunga runs $400 to $1,800 for localized work, with tile roof repair running $600 to $2,500 depending on breakage and underlayment condition.
How we do it
We photograph the damaged area, describe the underlayment condition in plain terms, and give you a fixed repair price with the material brand named.
What Roofing Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Roof repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
How do I know if my Tujunga home is in the VHFHSZ?
Look up your parcel on the LADBS fire-zone map. The boundary runs unevenly through Tujunga at the parcel level, and we check it before writing any roofing estimate. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll check it with you.
Can you match the original tile on my Tujunga roof?
Tile matching depends on the profile and color still in production. We bring physical samples to the job and tell you plainly if a match is unavailable before you spend money. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate.
Windows & Doors in Tujunga
Window replacement in Tujunga runs $4,500 to $15,000, and impact-rated windows run $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the number of openings and the wind zone. Tujunga’s canyon-mouth geography amplifies Santa Ana winds and drives ember exposure against window frames, so the written quote must specify the pressure rating and the flashing detail, not just the glass package. Our Windows & Doors scope names the manufacturer and the fire-resistance rating on every line.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Your original wood-sash windows are drafty during Santa Ana events, frames show dry rot at the sills, or the glass is single-pane and has failed seals.
What it costs in Tujunga
Window replacement in Tujunga runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a typical ranch home, with frame repair and stucco return work adding to the line items.
How we do it
We measure each opening, write the flashing detail and pressure rating into the quote, and install with a documented photo record of the rough opening condition.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your Tujunga home faces the canyon mouth directly and you want exterior openings that resist windborne debris during Santa Ana events without shutters.
What it costs in Tujunga
Impact window installation in Tujunga runs $8,000 to $25,000, driven by opening count, frame material, and whether retrofit or full-frame installation is needed.
How we do it
We specify the pressure rating the opening requires, name the manufacturer in the written scope, and document the existing frame condition in photos before install.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Door installation | $800 - $3,000 |
Do Tujunga homes need impact-rated windows if they are not in the VHFHSZ?
Not by code, but wind exposure near the canyon mouth is real. We quote standard and impact packages side by side so you can decide with both numbers in hand. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written comparison.
Will window replacement disturb the stucco on my Tujunga home?
Retrofit installation keeps the stucco intact in most cases. Full-frame replacement means stucco repair at the returns, which we write into the scope before work starts. Call (470) 298-9650 to discuss your opening type.
Home Additions & ADU in Tujunga
Home additions in Tujunga run $45,000 to $130,000, and a detached ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000 depending on size, site grading, and fire-zone compliance upgrades. Tujunga’s hillside lots and post-burn drainage concerns from the 2009 Station Fire mean engineered grading and retaining systems are often mandatory, not optional. Our Home Additions & ADU work treats the drainage plan and the fire-resistant exterior as line items in the written quote, not surprises later.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You have a sloped or hillside Tujunga lot and want an ADU, but need someone to handle LADBS fire-zone, grading, and drainage compliance as a single process.
What it costs in Tujunga
ADU construction in Tujunga runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the design and permitting phase typically 8 to 14 percent of the total project cost.
How we do it
We pull the parcel’s LADBS fire-zone classification, run the drainage and grading plan, and deliver a written scope with every permit fee named before construction starts.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
Your Tujunga garage is underused, structurally sound, and you want rental or family housing without the cost of new foundation work on a sloped lot.
What it costs in Tujunga
Garage conversion in Tujunga runs $30,000 to $80,000 depending on the condition of the existing slab, electrical service, and whether fire-rated separation is required.
How we do it
We inspect the slab and framing, photograph the existing conditions, and write the fire-separation and insulation upgrades into the flat price before work begins.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Tujunga
| Item | Typical range in Tujunga |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Does building an ADU in Tujunga require special drainage work?
Frequently, yes. Hillside runoff and post-burn debris-flow concerns from the Station Fire watershed mean engineered grading and drainage swales are often required by LADBS. Call (470) 298-9650 for a site-specific answer.
Can you pull all the permits for an ADU in Tujunga?
Permits are pulled and inspections passed on every ADU, and the permit path is written into the scope before anyone starts. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate.
