Can this page rank the top GAF certified roofing contractors in Southern California?

No. The material behind this page covers only BYLTup, a Long Beach roofing, solar and rain gutter contractor, and holds no data on any other GAF-certified contractor in Southern California. A ranking would be invented, so this page documents BYLTup's own GAF credentials for readers to compare against other contractors.

What GAF certifications does BYLTup hold?

BYLTup holds GAF Master Elite certification for residential roofing, GAF GoldElite for commercial roofing, and GAF Solar Certified status for GAF Timberline Solar, under GAF ID 1137620 and CSLB license 1091357. BYLTup is listed in GAF's contractor directory and also installs Enphase solar.

What GAF warranties can BYLTup register on a residential roof?

As a GAF Master Elite residential contractor, BYLTup can register GAF's three 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 the warranty is registered and the contractor is paid in full. System Plus needs qualifying GAF shingles plus 3 qualifying accessories and has no workmanship coverage. Silver Pledge needs 4 accessories and adds misapplication (workmanship) coverage. Golden Pledge needs qualifying shingles (not Timberline NS) plus 5 accessories 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 sold system and the GAF form. Commercial and multifamily buildings fall under GAF's separate terms. Verify warranty terms in writing.

For BYLTup, the license is CSLB 1091357 (B, C-10, C-39), the GAF listing is under ID 1137620, and local installs are published on its city completed-jobs pages.
