Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Tujunga
Storm and disaster restoration in Tujunga costs between $2,800 and $11,500 for most residential jobs, with emergency board-up and roof tarping running $450 to $1,900 when you need them before the next front moves in. The work we do here is different from what works in Sunland or Burbank, because Tujunga sits at the mouth of Big Tujunga Canyon with the San Gabriel burn scar above it. When heavy rain hits that slope, the damage is never just water. It’s mud, ash, boulders, and charred debris coming down through the canyon drainages into streets and crawl spaces. Call Wade at (855) 915-0646 and he’ll have extraction running inside the hour. He answers his own phone.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Tujunga’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his own name on the truck. That matters in a place like Tujunga, where you’ll run into him again at the Foothill Boulevard hardware store or the Ralphs on Commerce Avenue. The people we work for in the 91042 and 91043 zip codes know they can ask anyone on their street about us. Wade’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and IICRC-certified, and Wade himself shows up on the jobs that need him most.
We answer calls at 2 a.m. from Tujunga homeowners whose garage door just blew in during a Santa Ana wind event, and the person on the other end is a live human being, not a voicemail tree. Wade heads out to Tujunga the same hour, every time. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team has worked the canyon-adjacent streets long enough to know which homes on sloping lots off Haines Canyon Avenue will take debris flow before the water even hits the valley floor. That’s not something you learn from a training video. That’s something you learn by standing in the mud.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Tujunga
Storm Damage Cleanup
Storm damage cleanup in Tujunga usually starts at $1,200 and runs to $5,500 depending on how far the water and debris traveled through your floor plan. We’re talking about the aftermath of the first heavy winter rain after a wildfire season: ash-laden mud pushing through door seals, saturated drywall wicking moisture up from the baseboards, and fine sediment coating every surface. Our crews use Dri-Eaz extraction mats and XPOWER air movers to pull standing water and humidity out before secondary damage takes hold. In Tujunga, we always check for the gray film that says this wasn’t just rainwater. It was water that picked up burn-scar contaminants on its way to your front step.
Flood Damage Restoration
Flood damage restoration in Tujunga runs $3,200 to $9,800 for a typical single-family home with crawl space intrusion. The pier-and-beam foundations on those 1940s bungalows off Summitrose Street and Marcus Avenue trap mud in ways slab foundations never do. Wade’s team pulls the contaminated sediment out, logs moisture readings every day, and hands you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. We do it because you should know exactly what was wet, how wet it got, and how dry it is now.
Emergency Board-Up
Emergency board-up after wind or debris impact in Tujunga is $450 to $1,200 for a standard entry door or window opening. When a 70 mph Santa Ana gust blows out an unreinforced 1920s window frame, your house is open to rain, raccoons, and whatever the canyon wind carries next. We install plywood and weather barriers that hold until permanent repair. Wade’s crew typically reaches Tujunga within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, and he’ll tell you on the phone exactly what the board-up will cost before he gets in the truck.
Roof Tarping
Roof tarping in Tujunga runs $650 to $1,900 depending on roof pitch, access, and how much sheathing is exposed. December 2023 showed us what happens when wind peels back roof sheathing and then the rain comes, and that’s a lesson we don’t want you to learn the hard way. We tarp tightly enough to hold through the next wind event, not just the next rain. The goal is to buy you time to get a proper repair scoped and scheduled, not to slap something blue over a hole and hope for the best.

Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Unreinforced door jambs and single-pane windows on 1920s bungalows. These fail first in high wind. The pressure differential from a blown-in garage or entry door is what lifts entire roof sections off the frame. Pre-season reinforcement is cheaper than post-storm rebuild, and we can tell you exactly which openings on your house are the weak points.
- Ash-contaminated mud in pier-and-beam crawl spaces. Tujunga’s older homes sit on shallow concrete or pier foundations with crawl spaces that collect debris-flow slurry. If you power-wash that mud out without lab-confirmed heavy-metal clearance, you’re spreading contaminants through your yard and possibly into the house. The hazmat testing step is not optional here.
- Debris removal that’s more than yard waste. Boulder-laden mud from Big Tujunga Canyon can’t go to the green waste bin. It requires separate hazmat disposal and often undercuts driveway approaches, which generic crews miss entirely. We handle the full removal chain, not just the part that’s visible from the street.
- Secondary disaster sequencing. Homes that survive a nearby wildfire are then inundated weeks later by the first heavy rain, carrying combustion byproducts into drywall, insulation, and floor cavities. Standard water-damage pricing doesn’t account for the hazmat assessment step these jobs legally require before extraction can begin. We build that into our scope and walk you through it.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Tujunga
Yes. The doors that fail first in Tujunga wind events are the garage door and the side entry door on the windward side of the house, especially on 1920s and 1940s bungalows with original single-pane windows and unreinforced jambs. A 70 mph gust takes the weak door, then the pressure differential lifts the roof sheathing. We recommend a pre-season inspection of your garage door track, side entry jambs, and window frames, and we’ll quote the reinforcement work in writing before any storm hits. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will walk you through what your house actually needs, not what a national chain’s checklist says.
Because the mud coming out of Big Tujunga Canyon after a wildfire carries heavy metals and combustion byproducts from burned vegetation, and power-washing it spreads that contamination through your yard, into your foundation vents, and potentially into your living space. Tujunga debris-flow jobs require hazmat-accredited contaminant testing before structural drying can start. We remove the sediment mechanically with XPOWER trash pumps and Dri-Eaz extraction mats, then we test. It’s the same sequence we used on a 1940s bungalow off Haines Canyon Avenue after the December 2023 storms, and it’s the only way to get a clean final inspection. Call (855) 915-0646 for an exact quote on your property.
Before the first heavy rain of the season, which in Tujunga usually means October or November. Once the slopes above Big Tujunga Canyon lose their vegetation, the clock is running. A reinforced garage door and sealed foundation vents are your first line of defense against wind-blown embers and then the rain-driven debris flow that follows. We can typically complete a wind-load reinforcement assessment and the critical repairs within five to seven business days of your call, and we’ll tell you honestly if your home can wait that long. Estimates are free.
For structural roof repairs, including sheathing replacement after wind damage, Tujunga homes within Los Angeles city limits require a building permit through LADBS, and if your home is on the city’s historic survey or in a hillside overlay, additional wind-load documentation may be required. Emergency roof tarping and board-up do not require permits, and we’ll handle the tarping immediately while you and your insurance adjuster work through the permanent repair process. Wade deals with adjusters directly, so you’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. Call (855) 915-0646 and ask Wade what applies to your specific address.
Can you handle both wind-damaged doors and subsequent mud intrusion in one emergency call?
Yes. That’s the standard Tujunga sequence, and we’re built for it. The same crew that boards up your blown-in garage door will come back with trash pumps and extraction mats when the rain brings the canyon mud through your crawl space, and we’ll run the hazmat testing before structural drying begins. After the December 2023 storms, our crew responded to a home on Haines Canyon Avenue where Santa Ana winds peeled back the roof sheathing and the debris flow pushed ash-mud slurry through the pier-and-beam foundation within the same week. One call, one scope, one crew. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll get it moving today.
