Tiger Team Roofing can be worth it for storm damage if your home is in Broward or Palm Beach County, where the company is based and where its storm service is built to work. Its storm page lists a free post-storm inspection, emergency tarping, photo documentation and help walking through an insurance claim. If you live in Tampa Bay, it is not a practical choice: Tiger Team's service-area page lists no Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco communities, and storm repairs depend on a crew that can reach your roof quickly and come back if a leak returns.

TL;DR: Key Takeaways

Tiger Team Roofing is a Fort Lauderdale roofer (founded 2010) serving Broward, Palm Beach and, per its site, Miami-Dade County. It lists no Tampa Bay service area.
For South Florida homeowners, its published storm process covers the basics a storm job needs: inspection, temporary tarping, photo reports and claim documentation.
Its storm page does not state warranty lengths, a 24/7 line or a response time, so get those in writing before you sign.
Florida law limits what any roofer can do on an insurance claim. A contractor can document damage, but it cannot interpret your policy without a public adjuster license, and it can never offer to waive or cover your deductible.
Your claim clock starts at landfall: Florida gives you 1 year to give notice of a new hurricane claim and 18 months for a supplemental claim.

Is Tiger Team Roofing worth it for storm damage in South Florida?

For a homeowner in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Boca Raton or West Palm Beach, Tiger Team Roofing has the pieces a storm job needs. Its storm damage repair page lays out a six-step process: a free post-storm roof inspection, photo documentation and a damage report, temporary protection with emergency tarping when there are active leaks, a repair-or-replacement recommendation, the repair itself, and a final inspection with warranty. The page says the company is "experienced in storm damage claims and can walk you through the claims process," and it lists wind, hurricane, shingle, tile and flat-roof repair.

Track record signals are reasonable. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) gives Tiger Team Roofing Inc. an A+ rating and shows it accredited since January 26, 2011, with a business start date of February 8, 2010. The company's website lists Florida license number CCC1329360, a certified roofing contractor license you can confirm on the state's licensing portal.

What decides "worth it" is the part the storm page leaves open. It promises workmanship and material warranties without stating their length, says the team "responds quickly after major storms" without a timeframe, and does not advertise 24/7 availability. None of that is a red flag on its own. It means the written estimate and contract, not the web page, should answer those questions.

Does Tiger Team Roofing handle storm damage in Tampa Bay?

Tiger Team Roofing does not list Tampa Bay as a service area. Its service areas page names Broward County cities (Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Weston and others) and Palm Beach County cities (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and others), and mentions Miami-Dade County. It names no communities in Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco County.

A Florida certified roofing contractor license is valid statewide under section 489.105, Florida Statutes, so distance is not a legal barrier. It is a practical one for storm work. Fort Lauderdale is on the other side of the state from Tampa, and after a hurricane, roofers prioritize their own markets. Emergency tarping, a return visit when a patched area leaks in the next rain, and warranty service all depend on a nearby crew.

What does Tiger Team Roofing's storm service include, and what should you ask for in writing?

The table below compares what Tiger Team Roofing's storm page states with the detail a homeowner should get in writing from any storm contractor, including Hytz Roofing.

Storm service item	What Tiger Team's storm page states	What to get in writing before signing
Inspection	Free post-storm roof inspection	A written report with dated photos of each damaged area
Emergency protection	Emergency tarping for active leaks in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach County	Tarp cost, whether it is billed separately, and how long it is expected to hold
Response time	"Responds quickly after major storms"; no timeframe given	Expected visit window and a direct emergency phone number
Claim support	Walks you through the claims process; provides photos and reports	Confirmation of what they will and will not do on the claim (see Florida law below)
Warranty	Workmanship and material warranties; terms not stated	Warranty length, what it covers, and which company entity stands behind it
Estimate	Repair or replacement recommendation	An itemized good faith estimate, which Florida law requires for insurance-funded roof work

One detail matters more than usual here. PitchBook lists Tiger Team Roofing as acquired by Canopy Services, a residential roofing platform backed by private equity firm Trivest, in October 2025. Ownership changes are common in roofing and do not change the work quality on their own, but a workmanship warranty is only as good as the entity that issues it. Ask whose name is on the warranty.

What can a Florida roofer legally do on a storm damage insurance claim?

Florida law draws a firm line around roofers and insurance claims, and it applies to Tiger Team Roofing, Hytz Roofing and every other contractor equally. Under section 489.147, Florida Statutes, a contractor may not:

interpret policy provisions or advise you on coverage, or adjust a claim, unless it holds a public adjuster license;
offer a rebate, gift, cash, deductible waiver or anything else of value for letting it inspect your roof or for filing a claim;
give you a roof repair agreement on an insurance claim without an itemized good faith estimate.

So "we walk you through the claims process" should mean documentation, measurements, photos and meeting the adjuster, not telling you what your policy covers. A roofer that promises to "cover your deductible" is offering something Florida prohibits.

Two more rules protect storm-damaged homeowners. Section 489.147(6) lets you cancel a roof repair or replacement contract without penalty within 10 days if you signed it within 180 days of a Governor-declared state of emergency covering your area. And under section 627.7152(13), an assignment of post-loss benefits is void for residential property policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, so a contractor generally cannot take over your claim.

How long do Florida homeowners have to file a hurricane roof claim?

Section 627.70132, Florida Statutes, bars a new or reopened property claim unless the insurer receives notice within 1 year after the date of loss, and a supplemental claim within 18 months. For hurricane damage, the date of loss is the date the hurricane made landfall; for other windstorms, it is the date verified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That deadline runs whether or not you have picked a roofer, so report damage to your insurer promptly and choose a contractor without rushing past the written-estimate step.

Who should Tampa Bay homeowners call for storm damage instead?

Tampa Bay homeowners are better served by a roofer whose crews live and work in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. Hytz Roofing is based in Tampa, holds Florida license #CCC1332551, is a GAF Master Elite and GAF President's Club contractor, and brings more than 30 years of experience. Our storm damage roof repair service in Tampa offers 24/7 emergency response, temporary protection when appropriate, photo and measurement documentation, and a written repair or replacement scope. When requested and schedules allow, Hytz Roofing can attend your insurer's inspection. Coverage and payment decisions stay with your carrier, and we do not interpret policy language.

Whoever you hire, use the same checklist: verify the license, get an itemized estimate, get warranty terms in writing, and know your 10-day cancellation right after a declared emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tiger Team Roofing offer free storm damage inspections?

Yes. Tiger Team Roofing's storm damage page lists a free post-storm roof inspection as the first step of its process, followed by photo documentation and a damage report. The free inspection applies within its South Florida service area.

Should I sign a roofing contract before my insurance adjuster visits?

You do not have to. Many homeowners get an inspection and written estimate first, then sign after the adjuster's visit once the scope is clearer. If you do sign within 180 days of a declared state of emergency, Florida law gives you 10 days to cancel a roof contract without penalty, by certified mail or another method with proof of delivery to the address in the contract.

Can a roofer from another part of Florida work on my Tampa roof?

Legally, yes, if it holds a state certified roofing contractor (CCC) license, which is valid statewide. Practically, ask whether the company lists your county as a service area, how fast it can tarp a leak, and who will handle warranty calls. A roofer that does not normally work in your area may struggle to return quickly after the next storm.
