    Enhancing Comfort and Durability

    At Watertite Roofing, we believe in not just providing roofing solutions but also in creating lasting impressions through our craftsmanship. Recently, we had the privilege of working with Maple Grove Place to enhance the comfort and durability of their facility with a brand-new Duro-Last flat roof system. Here’s why this project was not just another roofing job for us, but a commitment to excellence and care for our community’s elders.

    Understanding the Need for Reliability

    When it comes to roofing solutions for retirement and assisted living homes, reliability is paramount. Residents rely on the facility for safety, comfort, and protection. Therefore, when Maple Grove Place approached us with the need for a roofing solution that offered long-term durability and peace of mind, we knew that the Duro-Last flat roof system would be the perfect fit.

    The Duro-Last Advantage

    Duro-Last is renowned in the roofing industry for its exceptional quality and reliability. Engineered to provide superior protection against the elements, Duro-Last roofs offer numerous advantages:

    Exceptional Durability: With reinforced membranes and heat-welded seams, Duro-Last roofs are highly durable to the elements and are a true 100% waterproofing solution, providing long-lasting protection even in the most challenging conditions.

    Energy Efficiency: Duro-Last roofs are available in highly reflective materials, which can help reduce energy costs by keeping the building cooler and reducing the strain on HVAC systems.

    Low Maintenance: Thanks to its robust construction and monolithic design, Duro-Last roofs require minimal maintenance, saving both time and money over the life of the roof.

    Overlay Application: Through the overlay application method, Duro-Last roofs can be seamlessly installed over existing roof systems, eliminating the need for messy, odorous, and disruptive roof removals. This streamlined approach not only minimizes inconvenience but also accelerates project completion, ensuring a quicker turnaround time for your roofing project.

    The Positive Impact on Maple Grove Place

    The installation of the new Duro-Last flat roof system has already had a significant impact on the comfort and functionality of Maple Grove Place. Not only does the new roof provide enhanced protection against the elements, but it also offers improved energy efficiency, helping to create a more comfortable environment for residents and staff alike. With its exceptional durability and low maintenance requirements, the Duro-Last roof system is poised to deliver lasting value for years to come.

    At Watertite Roofing, we take pride in our ability to provide innovative roofing solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. The installation of the Duro-Last flat roof system at Maple Grove Place is just one example of our commitment to excellence and our dedication to serving our community.

      Watertite did an amazing job with our rooftop terrace installation, very professional and built to last many years. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solution that is long lasting and low maintenance. Amazing job!

      We hired Watertite Roofing to repair a leaking flat overhang on the front of our house that had been poorly done by another roofing company about 10 years earlier. Rot had set in and owner Zak Keyes had the solution for a permanent fix. Lead hand Jon took over from there and skillfully directed his crew to undo all the damage, working tirelessly in cold weather to give us a house that looks great and the knowledge that the problems are fixed for good. We highly recommend Watertite Roofing for flat roof construction and repair. Leanne and Pierre – Hamilton Ontario

      Great responsiveness, good value and no hidden costs. Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone needing roof work. Chris Elgar of C Elgar Holdings Limited.

      During a heavy rain event, the roof leaked and one of the tenant was concerned about the leak. I called Watertite Roofing and they were on the roof to patch the leak by end of the same day. In the meantime, they did an assessment of the roof and provided a quotation within days for the replacement of the roof. Once the quotation was approved, Watertite Roofing promptly began to replace the roof the following day. The foreman on site for Watertite Roofing was considerate of intrusion to the businesses and their clients. The site foreman was approachable and made changes requested by the landlord. The work was completed in four days and before the next rainfall. Communication with the head office was always pleasant and frequent updates were provided every several days of work progress by the Operations Manager/Estimator. I was pleased with the quick response and the professional manner in which the work was completed ahead of time.

      Thank you Ibrahim, We really appreciate your Google rating us five stars. Can you share a few words about your experience please as it would be helpful for fellow Googlers. Thank you kindly from Management and Staff

      I had the opportunity to work with Watertite in 2008, they educated me on their product along with the installation process. The job was completed in a diligent and timely manner and the material is a superior technologically advanced product. Most recently, I had an ice issue this past December where Watertite came out to my building to tackle an ice issue. Upon completion, I was shocked to hear from Zak that there was NO charge for the time spent. There are a very few out there that exercise honest ethical business practice…….THANK YOU

      After doing a lot of research on possible solutions for renewing an existing 35yr old low pitch corrugated metal roof on a pre-eng industrial building; a membrane overlay system was chosen as the most effective from a performance, cost and warranty standpoint. After engaging 3 local firms for proposals, it quickly became apparent that Watertite was by far the best solution to meet our needs. Their rep (Zak) was very easy to work with, maintained great communications, and was very professional/responsive to any questions or communications I had. Through the whole process (survey, quotation, project coordination/execution, and wrap-up), Watertite and their personnel were top notch with little inconvenience to the tenant. Definitely would not hesitate to highly recommend Watertite and the Duro-last membrane system.

      Zak at Watertite was fantastic! Called him up to get a quote and was very happy with the responsiveness. The work was completed as promised and in a very professional. Would definitely recommend them for any roofing needs.

      The crew from Watertite Roofing did and amazing job. They were professional and friendly and worked hard to get the job done. Quality of work was fantastic. It even cost less than originally quoted and appreciated the honesty. Highly recommend this company.

      As a custom home builder and renovator we work on many unique projects that require unique products and solutions. We only work with contractors that can provide the level of professionalism, service, and product quality that we demand of ourselves for our clientele. Watertite Roofing is one of those contractors who sets the bar higher for others. Their response time, organization of operations, and delivery on service is rarely paralleled. And they install a durable, well warrantied product that takes a load off our minds. We wouldn’t use anyone else.

      In 2018 the team at Watertite installed a new flat roof on our building. Being that it was fairly new product and procedures to us we were a bit apprehensive at first. However, Zak and the team were great to deal with in terms of explaining the new product and installation procedures and it really eased our mind during the decision making process. During installation the team couldn’t have been better. Quick, clean and efficient, very knowledgeable and upon completion they took the time to explain the do’s and don’ts as well as general maintenance tips for us to follow. This past week during the excessive snow storms we’ve had in our area we had some water dripping into our office and showroom. Zak had a team member over the next business day to have a look, at no charge. He did the best he could to clear the water and ice from a frozen eavestrough and downspout that was causing water to travel behind siding and under the membrane. We are very grateful for them to have come out so quickly and not even charge us even though the leak wasn’t even from their roof installation! We have another project in the works for the spring time and we will definitely be going with the team at Watertite again!

      We did our due diligence on roofers when we needed a complete new 15,000 square foot flat roof. All signs were positive for Watertite and they did not disappoint us, they did a great job. Zack was our main contact and he kept us informed throughout the project and always returned our calls in a timely fashion. Well done Watertite team! Larry Fontaine, president of Fontaine Transport Inc.

      Barb Fontaine

      Zac and his team have been incredible from our first contact. They were the most reasonably priced of 4 quotes, got the job done quickly when they said they would, have promptly responded to any queries and have came back to support installation of ventwork during renovations. The new roof, trim and eaves troughs look great and we’re very happy with the service.
