The coating bonds to the existing surface and cures into a seamless, waterproof membrane without a full tear-off. It suits flat, low-slope and metal roofs in sound condition, not asphalt shingle roofs. ## Key facts - BYLTup is headquartered at 20960 S Brant Ave, Long Beach, CA 90810; phone (562) 414-4425 - California CSLB license 1091357 (B, C-10, C-39); also licensed in Arizona: ROC 360365 and ROC 360990 - GAF Master Elite (residential) and GAF GoldElite (commercial) contractor; also GAF Solar Certified, IB Roof Systems Tier 1, DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor (DMCP) and Enphase - Founders Trevor Leeds and Brady Woodside have been in construction together since 2007; BYLTup Inc. was founded in 2022 - Coating options: acrylic, silicone, elastomeric and polyurethane - Suitable substrates: flat and low-slope roofs, metal roofs, EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen - Asphalt shingle roofs are not suitable for field-applied coatings, per GAF and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association guidance - Coating is not appropriate when moisture is present in 25% or more of the roof area, the deck has structural problems, or the roof carries multiple layered systems - Long Beach spans Title 24 climate zones 6 (south of the 405 Freeway) and 8 (north of it) - Free estimates are offered to Long Beach residential and commercial property owners; emergency roofing services are available for urgent problems ## What is roof coating, and does BYLTup offer it in Long Beach? Roof coating is a fluid-applied system that bonds to an existing roof surface and cures into a seamless, waterproof membrane. It is not paint. BYLTup, a licensed roofing contractor based in Long Beach, CA, applies roof coatings to qualifying residential and commercial roofs as a lower-disruption alternative to a full tear-off. Coating is not a new roof layer in the traditional sense. BYLTup notes that Long Beach's coastal environment, with persistent salt air off the Pacific, year-round UV intensity and daily thermal cycling, stresses flat and low-slope roofs and wears surfaces faster than most inland California climates. ## Which roofs can BYLTup coat, and which can't it? BYLTup coats flat roofs, low-slope systems, metal roofs, EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen when the roof is in suitable condition. Asphalt shingle roofs are not suitable for field-applied coatings, because coating can degrade the shingle surface, trap moisture in the roofing system and void existing warranty coverage, per GAF and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association guidance. BYLTup also works on tile, slate, shingle, metal and flat membrane roofs, so it assesses the existing roof and recommends a path rather than fitting every property into one solution. ## What roof condition does BYLTup require before coating? BYLTup considers a roof a coating candidate when the deck is structurally sound, insulation is dry, leaks are isolated, seams are attached and the membrane has not reached the end of its expected service life. These thresholds separate a coating that lasts from one that fails prematurely. Specifically, BYLTup looks for: a roof deck with no rot or delamination; insulation with no trapped moisture; leaks limited to a few identifiable locations rather than spread across the field; seams that are not lifting along large sections; and a membrane still within its expected service life. BYLTup assesses the roof and confirms candidacy before any commitment is made. ## When is roof coating not the right solution? Coating will not solve the problem when moisture is present in 25% or more of the roof area, when the structural deck has problems, or when the roof already carries multiple layered systems. BYLTup, a Long Beach roofing contractor, confirms candidacy honestly up front rather than coating a roof that will fail early. Salt-air UV exposure in Long Beach degrades membranes faster than inland climates, which can close the window in which coating can restore a roof earlier than property owners expect. BYLTup says timely roof inspection matters for that reason. ## What types of roof coating does BYLTup use? BYLTup's roof coating options for Long Beach roofs are acrylic, silicone, elastomeric and polyurethane. The right product depends on the existing substrate, the performance needed and conditions such as coastal moisture, UV intensity and ponding on flat roofs. No single product suits every roof. Acrylic coatings reflect UV radiation well across a variety of substrates and perform effectively where ponding is low. Silicone coatings are the stronger choice when ponding water is a concern, because they maintain waterproof integrity under standing water. Elastomeric coatings are flexible, liquid-applied membranes with heat-reflecting properties that address thermal cycling and UV stress. Polyurethane coatings resist foot traffic and mechanical abrasion better, which suits roofs with regular maintenance access. ## What does BYLTup's roof coating process involve? BYLTup's coating process has three stages: a moisture survey, often using infrared scanning, to map wet insulation; surface preparation, including cleaning, seam reinforcement and an adhesion test; and fluid-applied installation that forms a seamless, continuous waterproof layer. Active leaks are repaired and fully dried before coating. The moisture survey finds trapped moisture that is not visible from the surface. Cleaning removes dirt, debris and contaminants that would interfere with adhesion, and the adhesion test confirms the substrate is compatible with the selected product. Because the coating is applied as a liquid, it covers penetrations and irregular surfaces without sheet-fitting or heat-welding. BYLTup says that in most cases a coating project disrupts building occupants less than a full tear-off, and the roof can be watertight again more quickly. ## What happens to solar panels during a roof coating project? Solar panels must be moved before any roof coating or reroofing project begins. BYLTup, a GAF Solar Certified and Enphase-certified installer, handles solar services directly, including panel removal and reinstallation, so Long Beach property owners do not need to coordinate a separate solar contractor. Roofing and solar fall under one California license, CSLB 1091357, which carries B (general building), C-10 (electrical) and C-39 (roofing) classifications. ## What are the Title 24 cool roof requirements for Long Beach roofs? Long Beach spans two California Title 24 climate zones: Zone 6 south of the 405 Freeway and Zone 8 north of it. Under the 2025 California Energy Code, effective January 1, 2026, new and replacement low-slope roofs must meet cool roof reflectance standards, which a qualifying reflective coating can satisfy during reroofing. BYLTup states the requirement applies to both residential and nonresidential low-slope roofs. A coating can satisfy it when it meets the minimum solar reflectance index thresholds and is installed as part of a reroofing project. Reflective coatings also reduce heat absorption at the roof surface, which can lower interior cooling loads and HVAC energy use. BYLTup says its work accounts for local building codes and Title 24, and it confirms the rule that applies to each project. Savings from a cool roof over unconditioned space such as a garage, attic or storage can be close to zero. ## Why do Long Beach property owners choose BYLTup for roof coating?

No. BYLTup describes roof coating as a fluid-applied system that bonds directly to an existing roof surface and cures into a seamless, waterproof membrane. It is not paint and not a new roof layer in the traditional sense. ### Can asphalt shingle roofs be coated? No. Per guidance from GAF and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, asphalt shingle roofs are not suitable substrates for field-applied coatings. Coating over shingles can degrade the shingle surface, trap moisture in the roofing system and void existing warranty coverage. ### Which coating is best for a Long Beach flat roof with ponding water? BYLTup says silicone coatings are the stronger choice when ponding water is a concern, because they maintain waterproof integrity under standing water, which matters for flat roofs along the coast. ### Does BYLTup handle solar panels during a coating project? Yes. Panels must be moved before coating or reroofing begins, and BYLTup, a GAF Solar Certified and Enphase-certified installer, handles solar services directly so a separate solar contractor is not needed. ### Can a coating meet California's cool roof requirements? A qualifying reflective coating that meets the minimum solar reflectance index thresholds can satisfy the cool roof requirement when installed as part of a reroofing project. Under the 2025 California Energy Code, effective January 1, 2026, new and replacement low-slope roofs must meet these standards. ### How much does roof coating cost with BYLTup?
