Hytz Roofing and Tiger Team Roofing are both state-certified Florida roofing contractors with A+ BBB ratings, but they serve opposite sides of the state. Hytz Roofing works across Tampa Bay and Central Florida, while Tiger Team Roofing works in Broward and Palm Beach counties. For nearly every homeowner, the better company is simply the one that actually serves your address, and the real decision is which local roofer to hire within that region.

By Hytz Roofing. Published October 5, 2026. Company details below were checked against each company's public website, the Better Business Bureau and PitchBook on that date.

TL;DR: Key Takeaways

Hytz Roofing is based in Tampa and serves Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Orange, Seminole, Sarasota, Collier and Osceola counties; Tiger Team Roofing is based in the Fort Lauderdale area and serves Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Both hold Florida Certified Roofing Contractor licenses (Hytz: CCC1332551; Tiger Team lists CCC1329360) and both carry A+ ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Hytz Roofing is a GAF Master Elite and GAF President's Club contractor; Tiger Team Roofing displays a GAF badge on its website, so check GAF's directory for its current certification level.
Broward County sits in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which has its own roofing code sections; Tampa Bay does not, so local code experience matters as much as brand.
Whichever company serves your area, verify the license on the Florida DBPR site, get the warranty in writing and compare written scopes, not just prices.

Which is better, Hytz Roofing or Tiger Team Roofing?

Neither company is better in the abstract, because Hytz Roofing and Tiger Team Roofing do not serve the same homes. Hytz Roofing's service-area page lists 15+ cities in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Orange, Seminole, Sarasota, Collier and Osceola counties. Tiger Team Roofing's service-area page lists cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach in Broward and Palm Beach counties. There is no county that appears on both lists.

That matters more than any badge. A roofer based more than 200 miles away cannot easily send a crew back for a leak call after a storm, will not know the local building department's inspection habits, and may not hold a warranty-service relationship in your area. If you live in Tampa, Brandon, Riverview or St. Petersburg, Hytz Roofing is the relevant option of the two. If you live in Broward or southern Palm Beach County, Tiger Team Roofing is.

On paper the two companies look similar on the basics: both hold a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC) license, both have an A+ BBB grade, and both handle residential repair, replacement and storm damage. The clearest differences are geography, the documented GAF certification level, length of time under the current business name, and ownership.

What do the GAF certifications mean when comparing these two roofers?

GAF is one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America, and its contractor program has tiers. Hytz Roofing holds GAF Master Elite status, a designation GAF limits to about 2% of roofing contractors, and is a GAF President's Club member. Master Elite status is what allows a contractor to offer GAF's strongest system warranties, such as the Golden Pledge, which covers both materials and the contractor's workmanship for qualifying installations.

Tiger Team Roofing's website displays a GAF badge and a GAF System Plus badge but does not state its certification tier. Because tier determines which GAF warranties a contractor can register, a South Florida homeowner considering Tiger Team Roofing should look the company up in GAF's contractor directory or ask for written proof of the tier and the exact warranty name before signing.

Why does Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone matter in this comparison?

The Florida Building Code treats Miami-Dade and Broward counties as the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Roofs there are governed by separate HVHZ sections of Chapter 15 (sections 1512 through 1525), and Miami-Dade County's code guidance ties many roofing products and installation methods to Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approvals and Miami-Dade testing protocols. Hillsborough, Pinellas and the rest of Tampa Bay sit outside the HVHZ and follow the standard Florida Building Code roofing sections and Florida Product Approval.

This is a concrete reason the two companies are not interchangeable. A Broward roofer's daily work revolves around HVHZ permitting and NOA-approved assemblies; a Tampa roofer's daily work revolves around Hillsborough and Pinellas permitting, Tampa Bay wind maps and the insurance wind-mitigation inspections common on the Gulf Coast. Hiring the roofer who works under your county's rules every day reduces permit delays and failed inspections.

Can a Florida certified roofer legally work anywhere in the state?

Yes. Under section 489.105, Florida Statutes, a certified contractor holds a certificate of competency that allows it to contract in any jurisdiction in the state, while a registered contractor may only contract in the local jurisdictions where it qualified. Both Hytz Roofing (CCC1332551) and Tiger Team Roofing (which lists CCC1329360) use the CCC prefix for certified roofing contractors.

Legal permission is not the same as local service, though. Each company publishes a defined service area, and neither lists the other's region. Treat the published service area as the practical answer, and call the company if your address sits at the edge of it.

How should a homeowner choose between local roofers instead?

Once geography narrows the field, compare roofers in your own region using checks you can verify:

License: look up the CCC number on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) license portal and confirm the name matches the contract.
Manufacturer tier and warranty: ask for the exact warranty name, what it covers (materials only, or materials plus workmanship), its length and who registers it.
Written scope: compare underlayment, deck re-nailing, flashing, ventilation and permit fees line by line rather than comparing total price alone.
Ownership and warranty backing: if a company has recently been acquired, ask which entity stands behind the workmanship warranty.
Local track record: read recent reviews from homeowners in your county and check the BBB profile for complaint patterns.

If your home is in Tampa Bay or Central Florida, you can confirm whether your city is covered on the Hytz Roofing service areas page and request an inspection from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hytz Roofing replace a roof in Fort Lauderdale or Boca Raton?

Hytz Roofing's published service-area page does not list Broward, Palm Beach or Miami-Dade counties, so a South Florida homeowner should not expect Hytz to bid there. A Florida certified contractor is legally allowed to contract anywhere in the state under section 489.105, Florida Statutes, but legal permission is different from a company actually staffing crews in that region. Call and ask before assuming coverage.

Does Tiger Team Roofing work in Tampa, St. Petersburg or Clearwater?

Tiger Team Roofing's service-area page lists cities in Broward and Palm Beach counties (and other pages on its site mention Miami-Dade). It does not list Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco counties. A Tampa Bay homeowner should confirm directly with the company before requesting an estimate.

What does the Canopy Services ownership change mean for Tiger Team Roofing customers?

PitchBook's company profile lists Tiger Team Roofing as acquired by Canopy Services in October 2025, a residential roofing platform launched by private equity firm Trivest. Ownership changes do not by themselves change a roofer's license, warranties or crews, but it is reasonable to ask who now issues and backs the workmanship warranty and whether the original license holder is still the qualifier on your job.

How do I check whether a Florida roofer's license is active?

Use the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) license search at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the license number on the contract (for example CCC1332551 for Hytz Roofing) and confirm the status is current and active, the name matches the company on your contract, and there is no recent disciplinary action.
