Flat Roof Repair Services

For 50 years, we have been repairing flat and low-sloped roofs in Southern Ontario, and we have noticed that roofs rarely fail at once. Weaknesses begin to appear at the drains, penetrations, and seams. If the initial damage isn’t addressed on time, it can turn into a costly repair.

For instance, a seemingly minor leak can lead to excess moisture infiltration, leading to mold growth and structural damage. Similarly, ponding water, cracks, blistering membrane, and compromised insulation can lead to emergency shutdowns if not addressed early enough.

The good news is that our expert team can track down the source of the leak or damage and offer precision repairs to restore your roof’s functionality. We often complete roof repairs within a day (for minor repairs) or a few days (if the repair process is complex). So, talk to us and get a detailed quote that shows the estimated project timeline.

Flat Roof Replacement Services

Does your roof continue to leak despite multiple repairs? Have you noticed large sections of water damage? Or is your roofing system nearing the end of its lifespan? These are warning signs that a full roof replacement may now be a smart choice.

While small repairs can provide short-term relief, they only postpone the inevitable structural damage. Over time, moisture could infiltrate your roof’s deck, soak into the insulation, or damage the drywall. Once that happens, repairs become less effective and more expensive.

Perhaps you have noticed soft spots, surface blisters, cracks, or open seams on your flat roof. These are signs that the membrane has lost its ability to keep your building watertight. Ignoring them can lead to serious structural damage.

Water intrusion causes extensive rot, weakens the entire roof structure, and causes mold growth. In many cases, it’s more cost-effective to invest in a new roof than to continue patching an old one. Our team has extensive experience conducting thorough and regular inspections for institutional buildings, industrial facilities, and business buildings.

We understand the roofing requirements for each building type. That’s why we’re better positioned to help you choose high-quality materials for your roof replacement.

Why Timely Roof Replacement Matters

At Watertite Roofing, we take a practical and long-term view of the cost-effectiveness of roof repairs. With nearly five decades of experience in Ontario’s roofing industry, we understand how minor roof issues can develop into large-scale damage if left unchecked.

Our process starts with a thorough roof inspection. We assess the full condition of your roof and recommend the best course of action. That could mean a lasting repair or a complete roof replacement. When replacement is the right option, we ensure the new flat roof delivers maximum value, longevity, and protection for years to come.

Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan with Seasonal Maintenance

Regular maintenance is one of the simplest and most effective ways to extend the life of your building’s flat roof. A well-planned roof maintenance schedule can prevent minor leaks, cracks, and other roofing issues from turning into major problems. It can also help you delay costly roof replacements by several years without compromising the long-lasting performance of your current roof.

Think of our regular maintenance services as an investment that pays for itself. With consistent care, your building’s roof can last three to five years longer than expected. Instead of spending thousands on emergency repairs or a complete roof replacement, you protect your roof with our exceptional service and keep your building performing as it should.

At Watertite Roofing, we design preventive maintenance programs tailored to each roof’s age, material, and current condition. Our technicians perform detailed inspections, check seams and flashings, remove debris, and identify weak areas before they cause leaks. Note that routine inspections and repairs strengthen your roof to last longer with minimal maintenance.

Cambridge’s weather can be unpredictable. That means heavy rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles can take a toll on flat roofs. Routine inspections ensure that your system remains watertight and structurally sound throughout the seasons. A minor repair made early can prevent insulation damage, energy loss, and disruptions to business operations.

Here at Watertite Roofing, we understand that preventive maintenance isn’t just about upkeep. It’s also about your peace of mind. You can focus on running your business, knowing one of Ontario’s roofing specialists is taking care of your property’s roof. Furthermore, when it’s time for replacement, you’ll have an experienced roofing professional to provide insights into your roof’s performance and guide your roof-related decisions.

How Much Does Commercial Flat Roofing Cost in Cambridge?

When you request a quote for a commercial or industrial flat roofing project, we encourage you to schedule an on-site assessment. We’ll inspect your roof, determine the necessary repairs or the right replacement approach (complete roof replacement or retrofit). The cost will depend on the following factors:

Preferred Roofing Materials

At Watertite Roofing, we recommend and install the best roofing materials for commercial or industrial flat roofs in Cambridge. Our most preferred flat roofing membrane is the Goliath PVC roofing system, manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario.

The table below shows the estimated costs of the common roofing systems for commercial and industrial properties. Costs are estimates only and may vary.

It’s crucial to mention that the quality of roofing materials can make a significant difference in the total cost of flat roofing services. For instance, your industrial facility or warehouse needs premium materials that can withstand exposure to chemicals, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions.

Therefore, the cheapest quotation may not always be the best for your project. Work with our experienced team to determine the specific quality of the flat roof that matches your roofing needs, then budget carefully.

Other Cost Considerations

Complex flat roof installations and replacements often cost more. A flat roof with many vents and pipes, skylights, or a multiple-level facility costs more than a simple one. This is because each add-on, like skylights, requires customized flashing to ensure a watertight seal. This specialized work requires time, skill, and careful attention to detail to ensure the long-term integrity of your roof.

Access problems can significantly increase the cost of your project. Hard-to-reach roofs require specific cranes and make material lifting difficult. If our skilled professionals must repair or replace insulation, more labour hours may be necessary. There’s also the extra cost of insulation materials.
