Shout out to Vardges the owner for the great experience from start to finish. He showed up on time, kept me updated, no hidden costs. The crew was professional, efficient, and finished the job exactly as promised. The fence itself is extremely sturdy and perfectly level — you can tell they didn't cut any corners.

I highly, highly recommend Security Fences. The owner, Vardges, did an amazing job on replacing 4 gates and some fencing on my property. He used quality materials and finished the work in one day. On top of that, he came up with an innovative solution to a problem I had with some metal fencing I had on a veranda.

Vinyl patio covers in Tujunga run $4,200–$8,800 installed for a 10×16 to 12×20 attached structure — licensed contractor #1136541 pulls the LADBS permit and handles all inspections.
Last updated June 2026
$4,200–$8,800 installed covers a 10×16 to 12×20 attached vinyl patio cover in Tujunga, LADBS permit and final inspection included. That price holds because we manufacture our own tongue-and-groove vinyl panels — no subcontractor markup. The 1950s and '60s stucco ranch homes scattered across the Sunland-Tujunga hillsides above Foothill Boulevard are the main job type here: rear stucco walls where the ledger board attachment has to be flashed correctly or you get water intrusion at the fascia every November when the rains compress in. Up near Verdugo Hills High School, we see lots of older concrete-block patios where homeowners want a cover added — those jobs need post anchor footings poured at 24-inch depth minimum to handle the Santa Ana wind gusts that funnel through Tujunga Canyon at 60+ mph. We run Stratford extruded vinyl panel systems on most jobs in this area, UV-stabilized with titanium dioxide (TiO2) rated for 300+ days of direct California sun annually.
Tujunga sits in the 91042 zip code, with some northern parcels sharing the 91040 Sunland zip, tucked hard against the San Gabriel Mountains in the northeastern San Fernando Valley. The housing stock here is older — most of the residential blocks between Tujunga Village and the Big Tujunga Wash date from 1945 to 1970. Those homes have wood-framed rear walls covered in original stucco, and that matters for patio cover attachment: ledger lag bolts need to hit the rim joist or double top plate, not just the stucco. Miss the framing member and the attachment point fails under wind load. LA City requires a building permit for any attached patio cover over 200 square feet, with LADBS inspections covering footing depth and ledger connection. Parts of the upper canyon neighborhoods and Verdugo Hills slopes also fall within a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — material selection for framing components can affect homeowner's insurance compliance, and vinyl panels with non-combustible aluminum framing check that box cleanly.
Common Vinyl Patio Covers Concerns in Tujunga
Ledger Board Leaks on Tujunga's Older Stucco Ranch Homes
The most common call we get from 91042 homeowners is water dripping at the point where the patio cover meets the house wall — usually 2-3 years after a budget install. The root cause is almost always an unflashed aluminum ledger channel lag-bolted through stucco without cutting back the stucco first and installing step flashing behind the ledger. On 1950s Tujunga homes, the stucco is often ¾-inch Portland cement coat over wire lath, and any penetration without flexible flashing tape creates a direct water path into the wall cavity. Fix involves pulling the ledger, cutting the stucco back 1.5 inches above the ledger line, installing galvanized step flashing, then reattaching the aluminum ledger channel with ⅜-inch lag screws into the rim joist at 16-inch on-center spacing. We use 3M All Weather Flashing Tape behind every ledger as standard. Repair-only runs $300–$600; a new install includes this detail correctly from the start.
Insufficient Pitch Leading to Standing Water and Panel Staining
Vinyl tongue-and-groove patio cover panels need a minimum slope of ⅛ inch per foot to drain — some installers set covers dead-level because it's easier to frame. In Tujunga, that becomes a real problem during winter rains (the area pulls 16–18 inches annually, most of it compressed between November and March). Flat covers pond water at the low-side fascia board, which feeds algae and oxidation staining on vinyl panel surfaces within one season. The fix on an existing cover is shimming the interior post bases to create correct pitch — doable if the posts are on Simpson Strong-Tie ABA44 adjustable post bases. On severe cases, the low-side fascia needs a J-channel drip edge added so water doesn't wick back against the house wall. Correct pitch at initial install adds roughly $150–$250 to framing labor. Retrofitting a full panel strip-and-repitch later runs $900–$1,400. Getting it right the first time is the obvious play.
Thermal Expansion Cracking on South- and West-Facing Patios
Tujunga's inland position means summer concrete slab temps hit 130–140°F on south-facing patios — and extruded vinyl panels expand roughly ⅛ inch per 10 linear feet for every 50°F temperature swing. Crews who skip the required 3/16-inch thermal expansion gap at each panel end see cracked tongue-and-groove joints within 18 months. This shows up especially on longer 20-foot panel runs common on Sunland-area ranch homes with deep rear yards. Lateral expansion stress also bows the aluminum fascia board outward and eventually pulls the fascia screws loose. Stratford and comparable panel systems publish their expansion coefficients; we follow them at install. An LA City LADBS permit for a patio cover over 200 square feet requires plan-check drawings specifying panel material and thermal rating — licensed contractor #1136541 prepares those drawings and includes them in the permit package, so the inspector sees it's been accounted for.
Actual Cost Drivers for Vinyl Patio Covers in Tujunga
A 10×16 attached vinyl patio cover in Tujunga runs $4,200–$5,800 all-in. Step up to a 12×20 with gutter integration and the number goes $6,500–$8,800. The LADBS building permit ($350–$600 depending on project valuation) is baked into our pricing — not added at the end. Sloped lots, which are common above Foothill Boulevard toward the Verdugo Hills, add $400–$800 for longer post lengths and graded concrete work. Adding an aluminum gutter to the low-side fascia board runs $8–$14 per linear foot extra and is worth it to route water away from the foundation. Because we manufacture our own vinyl panels, we eliminate the middleman layer that typically adds 15–20% to subcontracted jobs. Call (660) 999-9960 for a free on-site estimate with exact per-square-foot pricing — no ballpark ranges. Every job comes with a lifetime material warranty on panels, posts, and fascia components.
UV Degradation and Load Bearing for Fans, Lights, and Hanging Plants
Unrated vinyl goes chalky and brittle within 3–5 years under Tujunga's 300+ annual sunny days. The extruded vinyl panels we install include UV inhibitors combined with titanium dioxide (TiO2) stabilizers, maintaining color and surface integrity for 20-plus years without painting or refinishing. Separate issue: a large portion of customers want to hang ceiling fans, string lights, or planter baskets from the cover after install. Standard patio cover rafter tails are not rated for point loads. A 40-pound hanging planter or a 35-pound ceiling fan requires a blocking header or doubled rafter at the hang point — this is a $0 add when planned at the design stage, but a $200–$400 retrofit afterward depending on access. We also rough in PVC conduit sleeves for ceiling fan wiring at install if you know you want it. That electrical rough-in needs a separate permit from LADBS, and we coordinate it with a licensed electrician as part of the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Tujunga for vinyl patio covers?▼
We're typically in Tujunga within 24–48 hours for a free on-site estimate. From our shop, the drive runs up the 210 freeway to the Foothill Boulevard corridor — roughly 35–45 minutes depending on afternoon traffic. Sunland-Tujunga streets are accessible year-round and we bring a full measurement kit on the estimate visit, so you get exact pricing the same day rather than a follow-up email days later. After LADBS permit approval (typically 2–4 weeks for a standard residential patio cover), install takes 1–2 days for most jobs. Call (660) 999-9960 to schedule your estimate.
What does a vinyl patio cover installation cost in Tujunga?▼
Most attached vinyl patio cover installs in Tujunga run $4,200–$8,800 depending on size and site conditions. A 10×16 with standard post layout and ledger attachment comes in at $4,200–$5,800. A 12×20 with gutter integration and sloped-lot framing adjustments lands at $6,500–$8,800. The LADBS building permit — typically $350–$600 — is included in our price. Factors that push cost higher: graded lots requiring longer vinyl post wraps over steel reinforcement channels, existing concrete that needs core-drilling for post footings, and electrical rough-in for ceiling fans. Free on-site estimate with per-square-foot pricing. Call (660) 999-9960.
Do I need a building permit for a patio cover in Tujunga?▼
Yes. Tujunga falls under LA City jurisdiction — permits go through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Any attached patio cover over 200 square feet requires a building permit with plan-check drawings. Freestanding covers under 200 square feet may qualify for an over-the-counter permit depending on height and setback from the property line. Standard residential plan check currently runs 2–4 weeks; expedited LADBS review is available for an additional city fee. Licensed contractor #1136541 prepares all drawings, submits the application, and schedules the final inspection — homeowners don't manage any paperwork. The inspector checks footing depth, ledger attachment, and structural connections at final.
How do vinyl patio cover panels hold up to Tujunga's summer heat?▼
Tujunga's inland position means surface temps on a south-facing patio cover hit 135–140°F on a July afternoon. The tongue-and-groove extruded vinyl panels we use — Stratford and comparable systems — are manufactured with UV inhibitors and titanium dioxide (TiO2) stabilizers rated for high-UV, high-heat climates. We leave the code-specified 3/16-inch thermal expansion gap at each panel end so the vinyl can move without cracking the joints or bowing the aluminum fascia board. Post cores use steel reinforcement channels inside the vinyl post wrap so there's no collapse risk under load. Panel color runs through the full wall thickness, so minor surface scuffs don't expose a different color underneath. Most colors stay true for 15–20 years in direct Southern California sun.
What warranty comes with a vinyl patio cover in Tujunga?▼
We carry a lifetime material warranty on vinyl panels, vinyl post wraps, and fascia board components — covering manufacturing defects, color fade beyond normal weathering, and cracking under normal use and load. Aluminum framing members and hardware (post bases, Simpson Strong-Tie anchors, lag bolts) carry a 10-year finish warranty. Labor warranty is 2 years, covering installation defects like ledger leaks, post settlement, or panel separation at the tongue-and-groove joint. What's not covered: damage from falling branches (common near the Big Tujunga Wash tree corridor), vandalism, or modifications made after install by others. We're 5-star rated on Google with 51 reviews, and every completed job gets a written warranty statement at closeout.
Do you work in nearby cities outside Tujunga, and how do I get on the schedule?▼
We cover all of Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Ventura County. From Tujunga we regularly install in Sunland (91040), La Crescenta, Montrose, Glendale, Burbank, and Shadow Hills — all accessible off the 210 and 2 freeways. Tujunga jobs typically start at 7:00–7:30 AM to beat the San Fernando Valley afternoon heat, especially in summer when fresh concrete footings need cooler temps to cure evenly. Most jobs are scheduled 2–3 weeks out from permit approval. Call (660) 999-9960 to start with a free on-site estimate — that visit sets the permit submittal in motion and locks your place in the install queue.
