What did BYLTup do at Virginia's Gift Shop at Knott's Berry Farm?

BYLTup, a Long Beach roofing, solar and rain gutter contractor, completed a full tear-off and reroof of Virginia's Gift Shop inside Knott's Berry Farm on Beach Boulevard in Buena Park, California. The owner is Knott's Berry Farm LLC. BYLTup replaced both the sloped shingle roof and the flat membrane roof, finishing June 2, 2026.

It was an occupied commercial reroof on a live theme-park site, specified for two different roof systems: steep-slope shingles and a low-slope membrane. The two sloped roofs are joined by an existing clay ridge, which BYLTup kept.

Why was the Knott's Berry Farm reroof done overnight?

Virginia's Gift Shop sits inside Knott's Berry Farm, which stayed in operation during the work, so BYLTup crews had the roof from 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM. That window let the gift shop and the park around it open on time the next morning. Materials, parking and loading were staged for it.

BYLTup left the roof clean and safe before the park reopened to guests.

What roof systems did BYLTup install at Virginia's Gift Shop?

BYLTup installed two systems at Virginia's Gift Shop at Knott's Berry Farm: GAF Class A Timberline HDZ R/S architectural shingles on the sloped planes, and an IB Roof Systems Class A 60-mil white PVC membrane, mechanically attached, on the flat. The two systems meet at a transition on the building.

The slopes received new underlayment and flashings before the shingles. The white PVC on the flat is described as built for Southern California UV and heat, with a clean finish around HVAC equipment and drains. No shingle color is named in the project paperwork, so none is claimed.

What did the tear-off at Virginia's Gift Shop involve?

At Virginia's Gift Shop in Knott's Berry Farm, BYLTup removed the existing roof, a composition-shingle slope over a cap-sheet flat. Crews took off one layer of each covering, cleared the perimeter coping on the flat, and prepared both substrates for the new steep-slope and low-slope systems before installing the replacements.

How did BYLTup preserve the building's look and handle drainage?

BYLTup saved and reset the existing clay ridge tiles that join the two sloped roofs at Virginia's Gift Shop, so the building keeps its look from the park below. On the flat roof, BYLTup replaced every scupper and roof drain so the new membrane drains, and reset rooftop equipment to the new system.

What warranties cover the Virginia's Gift Shop roof?

The Virginia's Gift Shop reroof at Knott's Berry Farm has two warranties matched to its two systems. Per BYLTup's project write-up, the slopes have GAF Systems Plus with 40-year non-prorated material and 5-year labor coverage, and the flat has the IB Roof Systems 25-year No Dollar Limit Total Material and Labor System Warranty.

How does the Knott's Berry Farm job compare to BYLTup's other commercial roofing?

BYLTup describes the Knott's Berry Farm reroof as the same class of work as its IB recover at King's Hawaiian in Torrance and its IB restoration at Kress Lofts in Long Beach, with a Mayfield School reroof in Pasadena as a similar occupied-campus job. Each has published specifications, summarized below.

King's Hawaiian (2024) was a recover of nearly 120,000 sq ft on a working food plant, using IB 60 mil PVC ChemGuard over 1/4-inch DensDeck, mechanically attached, with a 20-year NDL warranty. Kress Lofts (2025) used IB 60 mil PVC, fully adhered, with Lane-Aire skylights and a 25-year IB NDL warranty. Mayfield School (2024) was a GAF Timberline HDZ R/S+ reroof of buildings 1 and 2.
