About the Co-Founder
Tat Granata — President & Co-Founder
President · SafeGuard Impact Windows, Doors & Roofing · Boca Raton, Florida
Two Decades in South Florida’s Hurricane-Impact Category
Tat joined Florida Home-Improvement Associates (FHIA Remodeling) in its early years and stayed through the company’s growth from a regional South Florida impact-window installer into a national home-improvement platform. As Partner and Vice President of Sales he led the sales organization through the scale-up phase that included FHIA’s 2019 acquisition of Statewide Remodeling in Texas — the company’s first move outside Florida — and its eventual rollup into Renuity. The role made him one of the most experienced operators in South Florida’s hurricane-impact category specifically: dozens of on-camera segments for FHIA’s “Tips From The Pros” series, television features on Ready Set Renovate with Elizabeth Hart, and trade-press coverage in Pro Remodeler and PR Newswire.
What a Sales-Led Co-Founder Brings to an Installer
Most contractors fail not on the install side but on the operating side — pricing, sales cadence, lead routing, customer communication, scheduling, and the dozen small disciplines that determine whether a homeowner’s project feels organized or chaotic. Tat’s two decades at FHIA were spent building exactly that operating layer at scale: the in-home estimate process that turned an appointment into a signed proposal, the lead-management infrastructure that prevented inquiries from falling through, and the financing partnerships that let homeowners actually afford a $9K–$22K whole-home impact-window project. Those systems are what SafeGuard inherits — an instant operating maturity most independent contractors take a decade to build, paired with Aldo Dellamano’s licensed contracting depth on the construction side.
Independent & Founder-Led — On Purpose
The standard arc for a successful South Florida home-improvement company is: build a reputation locally, get noticed by private equity, sell to a rollup, and watch the brand consolidate into a multi-state platform optimized for portfolio metrics. Tat watched FHIA travel that arc from the inside. SafeGuard is structured deliberately to stay on the other side of that line — founder-controlled, locally accountable, with the same crews on your project from measure to final inspection.
