Working in Tujunga & Sunland

Tujunga and Sunland sit at the top of the Valley against the Angeles National Forest, and they have a character all their own: larger lots, more workshops and outbuildings, more horse property, and a strong self-sufficient streak. People here fix things, and they call someone when a job needs a second pair of hands or a tool they don't own.

The housing is varied — 1920s and 1930s cottages, post-war ranches, custom hillside builds and a lot of properties that have grown by addition over decades. That last category is the interesting one, because additions mean electrical and plumbing that has been extended repeatedly, and network coverage that has to reach parts of a house built forty years apart.

Outdoor work is a big share of what I do up here. Big lots mean pergolas, patio covers, shade structures, sheds, above-ground pools, gates, fences and outdoor lighting. And with the forest interface right there, camera coverage of rear and canyon-side approaches is a common and reasonable request.

Local notes

Practical honesty. This is an area where people are capable and would often rather do part of a job themselves. That's fine by me. If you want to run the cable and have me terminate and configure it, or dig the post holes and have me set and assemble the structure, we can split it that way and you'll pay less. Not every job needs to be all-or-nothing.
