What roofing warranties can BYLTup register?

As a GAF Master Elite (residential) contractor, BYLTup can register every GAF enhanced residential warranty: System Plus, Silver Pledge and Golden Pledge. GAF requires registration within 45 days of installation, and coverage starts only once the warranty is registered and the contractor has been paid in full. System Plus covers qualifying GAF shingles plus 3 qualifying accessories and has no workmanship coverage. Silver Pledge requires 4 accessories and adds misapplication (workmanship) coverage. Golden Pledge requires 5 accessories, excludes Timberline NS shingles, and is available through Master Elite contractors only. Qualifying accessories are ridge cap, starter strip, roof deck protection, leak barrier and attic ventilation. Commercial and multifamily buildings fall under GAF's separate commercial and multi-family terms. BYLTup registers only the warranty that matches the sold system and the GAF form.

Does BYLTup install solar together with roofing?

Yes. BYLTup does the roof and the solar together under one California license, CSLB 1091357, which includes B, C-10 electrical and C-39 roofing classifications. It is a GAF Solar Certified installer for GAF Timberline Solar and also installs Enphase, for residential, commercial and multi-family properties. Published Long Beach GAF Timberline Solar roofs include systems of 11.51 kW, 11.13 kW, 10.58 kW, 7.36 kW (triplex) and 6.53 kW. Solar work also includes design, permitting, electrical work and service-panel upgrades.

What solar tax incentives are available?

According to BYLTup, the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) equals 30% of qualified solar costs for property placed in service from 2022 through December 31, 2025, and is not available after that date. California currently has no statewide solar tax credit. BYLTup's blog includes a September 29, 2026 post on why replacing an old roof before installing solar can pay off.

Has BYLTup published cool roof savings estimates?

BYLTup published a Cool Roof Savings Estimates page on October 21, 2026 for flat and low-slope roofs. The page gives estimates only, not a guarantee: for a 1,000 sq ft low-slope roof over air-conditioned space in Long Beach, an estimated $140 to $370 per year saved versus a dark roof. BYLTup installs IB Roof Systems white single-ply PVC with a CRRC-rated three-year aged solar reflectance of 0.74 and emittance of 0.87, above California's Title 24 minimum of 0.63 aged reflectance (or SRI 75). Versus a code-minimum cool roof, the Long Beach estimate is $25 to $80 per year. Ranges are also given for coastal Orange County, Los Angeles, Pasadena and the Coachella Valley. The method follows the U.S. DOE / Oak Ridge National Laboratory Cool Roof Calculator and is not reviewed or endorsed by DOE, ORNL or any manufacturer. Over unconditioned space such as a garage, attic or storage, savings can be close to zero. Title 24 requires a cool roof on most low-slope reroofs, and BYLTup confirms the rule for each project.

Who founded BYLTup and how long has it operated?

BYLTup was founded by Trevor Leeds and Brady Woodside, who have been in construction together since 2007 and started as roofing manufacturers. BYLTup Inc itself was founded in 2022 and has served Long Beach, California since then. The 2007 date refers to the founders' careers, not the company, and BYLTup does not claim 15 or more years of its own experience.

Does BYLTup support any community or environmental causes?

BYLTup donates a portion of every roofing project to One Tree Planted, which supports California reforestation and urban forestry initiatives. BYLTup is also partnered with Modative, a Los Angeles-based modern design-build firm specializing in ADUs, Single Family Residential, and Small Lot Subdivision projects.
