BYLTup Inc was founded in 2022, while founders Trevor Leeds and Brady Woodside have been in construction together since 2007, so 2007 reflects their experience rather than the company's age. The work is for homeowners, commercial property owners, general contractors, realtors and property managers. Notable Long Beach projects named by BYLTup include the historic Kress Lofts, 2nd Street Ace Hardware, BrandSafway, Long Beach Redondo West HOA, Long Beach's first GAF residential Timberline Solar installation, and dozens of installations under the City of Long Beach Roof Grant (Home Improvement Roof Grant Program). As of October 8, 2026, BYLTup's public RealWork feed listed 72 published Long Beach jobs, including 17 commercial, 13 that mention gutters, 10 multifamily and 8 solar. That is what is published, not every job completed. ## What notable commercial roofing projects has BYLTup completed? BYLTup has published commercial roofing projects with specifications, including Kress Lofts in downtown Long Beach (2025), a nearly 120,000 square foot King's Hawaiian bakery recover in Torrance (2024), Knott's Berry Farm's Virginia's Gift Shop in Buena Park (2026), and Mayfield School in Pasadena (2024).

As a GAF Master Elite residential contractor, BYLTup can register GAF's enhanced residential warranties: System Plus, Silver Pledge, and Golden Pledge. Golden Pledge is available only through Master Elite contractors, needs qualifying shingles plus five qualifying accessories, and must be registered within 45 days of installation. Per GAF's warranty forms as summarized by BYLTup, System Plus needs qualifying shingles plus three accessories and has no workmanship coverage. Silver Pledge needs four accessories and adds misapplication (workmanship) coverage. Golden Pledge, which excludes Timberline NS, also covers misapplication. Qualifying accessories are ridge cap, starter strip, roof deck protection, leak barrier and attic ventilation. Coverage takes effect only once the warranty is registered and BYLTup has been paid in full. BYLTup describes Golden Pledge as including lifetime coverage on qualifying shingles, a 50-year Smart Choice Protection Period, wind coverage up to 130 mph, and up to 25-year workmanship protection with qualifying accessories. Commercial and multifamily buildings fall under GAF's separate commercial and multi-family terms. ## Does BYLTup install solar together with roofing? Yes. BYLTup installs solar together with roofing under one California license, CSLB 1091357, with B, C-10 electrical and C-39 roofing classifications.

Published Long Beach GAF Timberline Solar roofs include 11.51 kW, 11.13 kW, 10.58 kW, 7.36 kW (triplex) and 6.53 kW systems. ## Is the federal solar tax credit still available?
