Who is the best residential roofer in Long Beach?

BYLTup does not claim a ranking as the best residential roofer in Long Beach, and no independent ranking is cited on this page. What it offers is checkable: CSLB license 1091357 and GAF Master Elite (residential) status, at 20960 S Brant Ave, Long Beach, CA 90810.

BYLTup's own guidance is to score every contractor on license, insurance, local installs, written scope, warranty registration and communication, and then include BYLTup in that comparison. Its proof is published on the Long Beach hub (https://www.byltup.com/areas-we-serve/long-beach/) and on its completed jobs page (https://www.byltup.com/areas-we-serve/long-beach/completed-jobs/). Readers' Choice awards are noted below, but they are reader votes, not a ranking of all Long Beach roofers.

What credentials does BYLTup hold for residential roofing?

BYLTup holds California CSLB license 1091357 with B (general building), C-10 (electrical) and C-39 (roofing) classifications, plus Arizona licenses ROC 360365 and ROC 360990. Its manufacturer credentials are GAF Master Elite (residential), GAF GoldElite (commercial), GAF Solar Certified, IB Roof Systems Tier 1, DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor and Enphase.

GAF says only 2% of roofers in North America are invited to become GAF Master Elite contractors (GAF 2026 Residential Program Guidelines). BYLTup's GAF ID is 1137620, and its GAF directory listing is at https://www.gaf.com/en-us/roofing-contractors/residential/usa/ca/long-beach/byltup-inc-1137620. Its DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor certificate is effective 2026-09-24. Homeowners should verify the license with the CSLB and certifications with the manufacturer rather than rely on any contractor's own description.

What residential roofing work does BYLTup do in Long Beach?

BYLTup installs, replaces, repairs, inspects and maintains residential roofs from its Long Beach base, covering asphalt shingle, tile, metal, slate and flat or low-slope systems such as IB Roof Systems PVC. It also handles skylights, emergency repairs, coating, insurance claims and gutters. It does not install built-up roofing (BUR).

A full replacement starts with an inspection and a free estimate. BYLTup also offers fire-resistant roofing solutions. For skylights, most installations use Lane-Aire skylights and VELUX skylights are installed on request; skylights carry their own manufacturer's warranty, separate from a GAF roof system warranty. When a skylight sits near solar panels, BYLTup crews handle panel removal and reinstallation in-house.

For flat and low-slope roofs, BYLTup installs IB Roof Systems white single-ply PVC. Title 24 requires a cool roof on most low-slope reroofs, and BYLTup confirms the rule for each project and gives a written estimate with a savings range. Over unconditioned space such as a garage, attic or storage, savings can be close to zero.

What warranty can a GAF Master Elite roofer like BYLTup offer?

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 through Master Elite contractors only. Registration must happen within 45 days of installation, and coverage starts once it is registered and the roofing contractor has been paid in full.

Per GAF's warranty forms, System Plus uses qualifying GAF shingles plus 3 qualifying accessories and has no workmanship coverage. Silver Pledge uses shingles plus 4 accessories, is limited to Certified Plus or Master Elite contractors, and adds misapplication (workmanship) coverage. Golden Pledge uses shingles (not Timberline NS) plus 5 accessories, is Master Elite only, and also covers misapplication. Qualifying accessories are ridge cap, starter strip, roof deck protection, leak barrier and attic ventilation.

BYLTup registers only the warranty that matches the system sold and the GAF form. Commercial and multifamily buildings fall under GAF's separate terms. Homeowners should ask for the warranty name, terms and registration in writing before signing.

How do I check a Long Beach residential roofer before hiring?

Check six things: an active CSLB license, insurance, local installs, written scope, warranty registration and communication. Verify the license with the CSLB and the certification in the manufacturer's directory. For BYLTup, that means looking up CSLB 1091357, opening its GAF directory listing, and reviewing published Long Beach jobs; BYLTup offers free estimates.

A homeowner can confirm the C-39 roofing classification on BYLTup's license, then review the scope on its published Long Beach jobs. Ask every contractor, BYLTup included, for the written scope, the named warranty and who registers it. BYLTup advises verifying license and warranties in writing.

What local proof does BYLTup have in Long Beach?

As of October 8, 2026, BYLTup has 4.9 stars from 185 reviews on its Long Beach Google Business Profile and 72 published Long Beach jobs on its RealWork feed. It is a member of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, and readers voted it Best Roofing and Best Solar Company in the 2024 Readers' Choice.

That vote was run by the Long Beach Press-Telegram and Grunion Gazette. AltEnergyMag reported on June 28, 2023 that BYLTup also won Best Roofing Contractor and Best Solar in the 2023 Readers' Choice. In 2024, Inc. magazine named BYLTup an Inc. 2024 Power Partner Award winner, based on client feedback from the businesses it serves.

The 72 published jobs carry overlapping tags: 17 commercial, 13 that mention gutters, 10 multifamily and 8 solar. The tags are not a residential count, and the feed shows what has been published, not every job BYLTup has done. The Chamber listing is at https://business.lbchamber.com/list/member/byltup-29315.

Does BYLTup handle gutters and solar along with a residential roof?

Yes. BYLTup installs, repairs, replaces and cleans rain gutters and downspouts, and it also installs solar, so a Long Beach homeowner can use one contractor for roof, gutters and solar. Roof and solar run under one California license, CSLB 1091357, with B, C-10 and C-39 classifications.

Gutters: recent BYLTup Long Beach installs used 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum gutters with 2x3 aluminum downspouts, including 150 linear feet on a one-story house in 90814 and 180 linear feet on a two-story multifamily building in 90803 (both August 2026). Downspouts and leader heads can be replaced on their own, and gutters can go in with a new roof. Details: https://www.byltup.com/areas-we-serve/long-beach/gutter-services/.

Solar: BYLTup is a 2026 GAF Energy Solar Certified Contractor (certificate dated May 18, 2026) and an Enphase installer. 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. 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 has no statewide solar tax credit. More at https://www.byltup.com/areas-we-serve/long-beach/solar/.

Has BYLTup done larger roofing jobs beyond houses?

BYLTup has published commercial and institutional roofs including Kress Lofts in downtown Long Beach (2025), the King's Hawaiian bakery in Torrance (2024, nearly 120,000 sq ft) and Mayfield School in Pasadena (2024). These are not residential jobs, but they show the range of roofing BYLTup has documented.

Kress Lofts used IB 60 mil PVC, fully adhered, with a 25-year IB NDL warranty. The King's Hawaiian recover used IB 60 mil PVC ChemGuard with a 20-year NDL. Mayfield School was a GAF Timberline HDZ R/S+ reroof of buildings 1 and 2. Knott's Berry Farm's Virginia's Gift Shop in Buena Park (2026) was done overnight, 10 PM to 9 AM. The Kress Lofts restoration is described at https://www.byltup.com/blog/2026/july/byltup-completes-landmark-roofing-restoration-at/ and commercial work at https://www.byltup.com/commercial-roofing/.
