AfterConstruction in Van Nuys, CA
Roofing in Van Nuys runs between $400 for targeted repairs and $20,000 for full replacement on typical single-family homes, with metal roofing reaching $40,000 on larger properties. Most homeowners call us after spotting interior water stains or missing shingles following the Valley’s seasonal Santa Ana wind events, which tear at aging roofs built for milder coastal conditions. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our crews coordinate dispatch from our Los Angeles office to serve Van Nuys directly - call (747) 294-3985 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Van Nuys Homes Are Different
Van Nuys sits in the inland San Fernando Valley where summer temperatures regularly crest 105°F, sometimes 20-25°F hotter than coastal LA. That thermal swing accelerates stucco cracking and cooks flat-roof membranes that were never specced for this heat load. The housing stock splits sharply: post-WWII single-family tracts with original stucco-over-wood-frame construction and outdated electrical panels, and dense blocks of 1960s-1980s soft-story apartment buildings now facing mandatory retrofit deadlines under LA Ordinance 183893.
The 1994 Northridge earthquake epicenter struck roughly two miles west in Reseda, and Van Nuys absorbed some of the heaviest damage in the metro area. That seismic history means retrofit work - voluntary upgrades and court-ordered compliance - shapes our project calendar in ways it simply doesn’t in neighboring Burbank or Sherman Oaks. Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) also imposes FAA Part 77 airspace restrictions across wide surrounding areas, so any crane or tall scaffolding requires pre-filed Notice of Proposed Construction. Out-of-area contractors miss this routinely and eat delays we avoid by filing first.
Our Main Van Nuys Services
Van Nuys homeowners contact us most often for kitchen and bathroom renovations and for adding square footage through ADUs or room additions. Each trade follows the same discipline: written price, signed scope, documented photo record.
Kitchen Remodeling in Van Nuys
Kitchen remodeling in Van Nuys means working within the tight footprints of 1940s-1960s tract homes where walls are often load-bearing and electrical panels need upgrading before new appliance circuits can be added. We see a lot of galley kitchens with original cabinets and insufficient counter space. Our crews handle the structural assessment, permit pull, and full finish work. Kitchen Remodeling in Van Nuys covers everything from cabinet replacement through full gut renovations with island additions.
Bathroom Remodeling in Van Nuys
Bathroom remodeling in Van Nuys addresses the same era’s small baths with original cast-iron tubs, single-pane windows, and vent fans that were never properly ducted to the exterior. We replace leaking shower pans, convert tubs to walk-in showers for aging-in-place, and install proper exhaust systems that meet current code. Bathroom Remodeling in Van Nuys includes full permits and inspections as standard.
Home Additions & ADU in Van Nuys
Home additions and ADU construction in Van Nuys must navigate LA’s soft-story retrofit requirements, setback rules, and the airport airspace restrictions that can limit second-story heights in certain blocks. We handle the feasibility study, structural engineering, and full build-out. Home Additions & ADU in Van Nuys includes garage conversions, rear-yard detached units, and second-story additions over existing footprint.

BeforeAfterRoofing in Van Nuys
Van Nuys roofs take a beating that coastal contractors rarely see: 105°F summer days that degrade asphalt shingles years ahead of their rated lifespan, plus Santa Ana winds that lift and tear poorly fastened materials. The post-WWII tract homes we work on most often carry original three-tab shingle roofs past 25 years, while the flat roofs common on 1960s-1980s apartment buildings suffer membrane failure from thermal cycling. Roofing is our most called-on trade in the Valley for good reason - water intrusion moves fast in stucco construction, and the damage spreads to framing before it’s visible inside.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on ceiling drywall, granules collecting in gutters, or lifted shingles along the rake edges after wind events mean water is finding a path through the underlayment.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Roof repair in Van Nuys typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing a few shingles, patching a valley, or resealing a flat-roof penetration.
How we do it
We photograph the damage from the deck, remove compromised materials to solid substrate, install matching shingles or membrane patches, and document the repair with dated photos for your record.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple leak points, visible deck sagging, or shingles that have lost their granule layer and now show bare fiberglass mat indicate the roof system has reached end of useful life.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Full roof replacement on a typical Van Nuys home runs $8,000-$20,000 for asphalt shingle systems, with GAF and Owens Corning products we stock locally for faster turnaround.
How we do it
We strip to deck, inspect and replace rotted sheathing, install synthetic underlayment and ice barrier at valleys, then fasten new shingles to manufacturer spec with proper ridge venting for the Valley heat.
What Roofing Costs in Van Nuys
| Item | Typical range in Van Nuys |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
How long does a roof replacement take in Van Nuys?
Most residential roof replacements in Van Nuys take 2-4 days, with an extra day if we encounter rotted deck boards that need replacement. We schedule around Valley heat, starting at 6:30 AM in summer to keep crews safe and shingles from scuffing. Call (747) 294-3985 to schedule your free estimate.
Will you pull the permit for roofing work in Van Nuys?
Yes, we pull all LA City roofing permits and schedule inspections as part of our flat price. The permit is listed as a line item in your written quote, not hidden in overhead. Call (747) 294-3985 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Windows & Doors in Van Nuys
Original windows in Van Nuys tract homes are typically single-pane aluminum sliders or wood double-hungs with failed glazing putty, leaking conditioned air and rattling in Santa Ana gusts. The thermal performance gap is severe: a single-pane window in a 105°F Valley afternoon radiates heat straight into the living space, forcing AC systems to cycle constantly. Windows & Doors replacement is one of the fastest payback upgrades we install, and we carry stock for common 1950s-1970s rough-opening sizes to avoid long lead times.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between glass panes, visible daylight around the sash when closed, or frames that swell and stick in humid weather mean the seal and weatherstripping have failed.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Window replacement for a typical Van Nuys home runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on count, size, and whether we upgrade to dual-pane low-E glass with argon fill.
How we do it
We measure each opening individually, remove the old unit without damaging stucco returns, install the new window plumb and square with proper flashing tape at the sill, then foam-seal the gap and trim interior with matching material.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Homeowners upgrading for security, noise reduction from Van Nuys Airport traffic, or insurance discounts in higher-risk zones choose impact-rated units over standard dual-pane.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Impact window installation in Van Nuys typically ranges $8,000-$25,000 for a full-home package, with laminated glass and reinforced frames that meet Miami-Dade and LA County structural standards.
How we do it
We specify laminated impact glass with reinforced multi-point locking hardware, install to structural engineer’s attachment pattern, and provide the NOA documentation your insurance or HOA may require.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Van Nuys
| Item | Typical range in Van Nuys |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Van Nuys?
LA City requires a permit for window replacement when the opening size changes or when converting from single-pane to dual-pane in certain zones; we handle the permit pull and inspection scheduling. Call (747) 294-3985 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How long do new windows take to order in Van Nuys?
Standard sizes we stock locally install within 2-3 weeks; custom sizes or impact-rated units run 6-8 weeks from order to delivery. We confirm lead times in writing before you sign. Call (747) 294-3985 to schedule your free estimate.
Fence Installation in Van Nuys
Van Nuys fence work is shaped by two realities: the dense apartment blocks where property lines are tight and HOA or landlord approval is mandatory, and the single-family tracts where homeowners want privacy from adjacent two-story buildings. The Valley heat and occasional Santa Ana winds also matter - vinyl and wood fences installed without proper post depth and concrete footing lean or fail within a few seasons. Fence Installation in Van Nuys means selecting materials and anchoring methods for the local climate, not just the property line.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
Homeowners wanting low maintenance, clean sight lines, and resistance to the Valley’s UV degradation choose vinyl over wood that needs restaining every 2-3 years.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Vinyl fence installation in Van Nuys runs $3,500-$9,000 for a typical residential lot, with heavier-gauge posts and deeper concrete footings for wind resistance.
How we do it
We set posts 30 inches deep in 12-inch diameter concrete piers, attach rails with stainless fasteners, and hang panels with expansion gaps for thermal movement in the 105°F summer peak.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
Pool enclosures, front-yard decorative borders, or security perimeters where visibility matters call for aluminum with its clean lines and no-rot performance.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Aluminum fence installation in Van Nuys typically costs $4,000-$10,000 depending on height, picket style, and whether we integrate automated gate hardware.
How we do it
We core-drill or excavate post holes, set in concrete with slope for drainage, then rack the aluminum panels to follow grade changes without creating climbable gaps at the bottom.
What Fence Installation Costs in Van Nuys
| Item | Typical range in Van Nuys |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
Do I need a permit for a fence in Van Nuys?
LA City requires a permit for fences over 6 feet tall or any fence on a corner lot where visibility triangles matter; we verify your zoning and pull permits as needed. Call (747) 294-3985 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How long does fence installation take in Van Nuys?
Most residential fence projects in Van Nuys take 2-5 days depending on linear footage, soil conditions, and whether we hit utility lines that need relocation. Call (747) 294-3985 to schedule your free estimate.
Driveway & Pavers in Van Nuys
Van Nuys driveways and hardscape suffer from the Valley’s extreme thermal cycling: 105°F afternoons followed by 60°F nights create expansion-contraction stress that cracks concrete poured without proper control joints or too little reinforcement. The post-WWII tract homes we work on often have original 4-inch unreinforced slabs now spiderwebbed with cracks, while newer properties may have settling issues from the area’s alluvial soil composition. Driveway & Pavers work in Van Nuys demands early-morning pours to meet ACI temperature guidelines and proper base prep to prevent the freeze-thaw-like damage our climate produces.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Cracked concrete beyond repair, poor drainage creating pooling at the garage threshold, or homeowners wanting a finished look with Belgard or Techo-Bloc products that can be lifted and re-leveled if settling occurs.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Paver driveway installation in Van Nuys runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, base excavation depth, and paver pattern complexity.
How we do it
We excavate to 8-10 inches, compact Class II base in lifts, screed bedding sand, lay pavers to pattern with edge restraint, then vibrate and sweep polymeric sand into joints for lockup.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
Spalling surface, widespread cracking with vertical displacement, or original driveways past 40 years with no steel reinforcement and failing subgrade.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Concrete driveway installation in Van Nuys typically costs $4,500-$12,000 for a standard two-car replacement with proper rebar or fiber mesh and control joints at 10-foot centers.
How we do it
We saw-cut and remove the old slab, grade and compact subgrade, place vapor barrier and reinforcement, then pour at 6:00 AM in summer to keep concrete below 90°F per ACI guidelines and finish with broom or exposed aggregate.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in Van Nuys
| Item | Typical range in Van Nuys |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Asphalt Driveway Paving | $3,500 - $9,000 |
Can you pour concrete in Van Nuys summer heat?
Yes, but we start at 6:00 AM and use chilled water or ice in the mix when temperatures will exceed 95°F by noon; ACI guidelines set 90°F as the practical ceiling for proper cure. Call (747) 294-3985 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway in Van Nuys?
Concrete needs 7 days minimum for vehicle traffic; pavers can handle weight immediately after compaction but we recommend 48 hours for the polymeric sand to set. Call (747) 294-3985 to schedule your free estimate.
