    Why we recommend PVC Flat Roofing Membranes

    Goliath and Duro-Last PVC roofing membranes are polyester-reinforced, thermoplastic roofing systems for single-ply roofing applications. They are made of carefully compounded high-quality PVC resin, stabilizers, resilient plasticizers, and other proprietary materials. These membranes are available in 50-mil, 60-mil, and 80-mil thickness. They are also available in different colours, such as tan, white, green, red, brown, and grey.

    Here’s why Goliath PVC roofing membrane stands out:

    Durability

    The engineered formulation of Goliath and Duro-Last PVC roofing membranes ensures good resistance to environmental-related damage, especially from microorganisms and exposure to Ozone, UV radiation, strong winds, freeze-thaw cycles, and other extreme weather conditions.

    Improves Your Property’s Energy Efficiency

    Goliath and Duro-Last PVC roofing membranes have a reflective surface that reduce heat transfer through your roof into the facility’s interior. This helps lower indoor cooling costs, especially during the hot summer months. Note that these flat roofing membranes meet Ontario’s requirements for emissivity and solar reflectance.

    Engineered to Withstand Weather Damage

    Goliath and Duro-Last PVC membranes have a thick, weather-resistant, and heavy-duty top-ply that exceeds Ontario’s requirements for ‘over the scrim thickness.’ They feature an acrylic-based top coating that is resistant to abrasion, allowing you to wash your flat roof without worrying about leaving unsightly scratches on the surface.

    Versatile PVC Roofing Membrane

    At Watertite Roofing, we use Goliath and Duro-Last PVC roofing membranes for new installations, roof recovery, or replacement projects. The membranes can be attached mechanically or adhered to a carefully prepared substrate using approved membrane plates, fasteners, or adhesives.

    For other roofing materials needed on the roof, we work with a variety of trusted suppliers to ensure quality and durability. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.

    Flat Roofing Done Right for Commercial Buildings in Waterloo

    At Watertite Roofing, we truly care about the Waterloo community, which is why we have been providing exceptional flat roofing solutions to commercial property managers and owners. Our experienced team is always ready to perform regular inspections and fix the identified issues successfully.

    Indeed, our roofing services are intended to keep your flat roof strong enough to withstand the extreme weather conditions common in the Waterloo region and across Southern Ontario. You can count on Watertite Roofing for the following commercial and industrial roofing services.

    Flat Roof Installations

    Often, commercial or industrial property owners planning to install flat roofs worry about improper drainage. After all, a flat roof may not drain rainwater as easily as a pitched roof. At Watertite Roofing, we understand that poor flat roof drainage can lead to ice accumulation, ponding water, and eventual damage. That’s why we offer high-quality installations wit consideration to drainage.

    Flat Roof Repairs

    When your flat roof begins to develop issues like pooling water, cracks, or leaks, don’t wait for seemingly minor signs of damage to turn into extensive problems. At Watertite Roofing, we provide a full range of flat roof repairs in Waterloo. Our skilled roofers can inspect your roof, identify the cause of the damage, and deliver precision repairs that can extend the lifespan of your roof.

    With 50 years of experience in flat roof repairs, we have become a trusted partner across Waterloo for cost-effective commercial roofing services. Whether you need new installations or to patch up a minor leak, don’t hesitate to contact us. We adhere to high standards of roof repairs to prevent future issues associated with improper repairs.

    Flat Roof Replacement

    At Watertite Roofing, we replace flat roofs within a short period, and installations are scheduled around your commercial operations to limit disruptions. We’re fully trusted by commercial and industrial property owners and facility managers across Ontario for reliable roof replacements.

    Sure, timely repairs and flat roof coatings can extend the lifespan of your building’s roof. Even with proper maintenance, you’ll need a new roof once the current one reaches the end of its useful life. Waiting for too long may cost you a lot of money in terms of repairs or damage to the items within the building. Here are the signs you need to replace your roof:

    Persistent leaks even after patch jobs: The water and excess moisture may seep into the insulation, roof deck, and drywall. This can lead to extensive rot and structural damage. Timely replacement may allow our team to retrofit the new roofing membrane if the deck is still in good condition.

    Visible and extensive damage to the membrane: Significant cracks, soft spots, blisters, and torn sections are all signs that your existing roofing membrane can’t protect your building like it once did. Replacing it can prevent damage to the deck and the rest of your building.

    Your roof has reached the end of its service life: Most flat roofs for commercial and industrial buildings last 15 to 30 years, depending on the roof type, installation quality, and maintenance. If your commercial or industrial facility’s roof is pushing past that limit, it’s time to replace it.

    Skylight Repair and Replacement

    We specialize in repairing and replacing skylights on flat roofs, ensuring they are properly sealed and functioning to prevent leaks and energy loss. Whether your skylight is damaged, outdated, or inefficient, our team can restore or upgrade it to maintain your roof’s integrity and your building’s comfort.

    Preventive Maintenance Solutions

    Prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your roof with our preventive maintenance services. At Watertite Roofing, we understand that your roof protects your building from harsh weather elements. Our routine roof maintenance services allow you to stay a step ahead of potential leaks, decay, and other forms of roof damage.

    During each scheduled roof inspection, our team carefully assesses each aspect of your roof to identify the earliest signs of damage. Therefore, regular maintenance allows for early detection of potential roof leaks. Timely and effective repairs can prevent further damage that could eventually compromise your property’s structural integrity.

    What’s the Cost of Commercial Flat Roofing Services in Waterloo?

    The cost of commercial flat roof services, such as installations, repairs, and replacements, on average ranges from $6 to $20 per square foot. This cost depends on the roof type, chosen materials, labour, and the scope of your project. Therefore, you should request a detailed quotation to get accurate information on your project’s cost and timeline. Here are the cost aspects you should pay attention to.

    Cost of Commercial Flat Roof Repairs

    Commercial roofs are prone to certain roof issues than the low-slope or pitched roofs. Some of these issues include blistering membranes, leaks, water ponding, flashing damage, splitting, cracking, and membrane damage. Depending on the nature and extent of damage, your roof may require minor, moderate, or major repairs.

    Minor repairs involve patching up minor leaks or other signs of minor damage. Moderate repairs, on the other hand, may involve fixing damage to the flashing or membrane. Major flat roof repairs are complex and are required in case of extensive water or moisture damage, replacing a significant part of your flat roof, or fixing significant blistering. Here are the estimated costs of commercial roof repairs. These costs are estimates and may vary:

    Nature of Repairs Estimated Cost
    Minor repairs $300 to $1,000
    Moderate repairs $1,000 to $2,500 or higher
    Major repairs $2,500 to $5,000 or more.

    Size of Your Roof

    Installing, repairing, or replacing a flat roof on a 2,000 square foot facility costs less than a similar service for a 20,000 square foot industrial flat roof. A large roof requires more materials and labour hours. While the cost per square foot may not vary widely, the size of your roof can increase the total cost of your roofing project significantly.

    Cost of Materials

    The specific type of materials you choose for your flat roof will also influence the total cost of your project. Some materials, such as Asphalt & Gravel, are costlier than others. For instance, the cost of Asphalt & Gravel roofing is $10 to $25 per square foot, while that of EPDM (rubber roofing) ranges from $5 to $16 per square foot. Modified bitumen costs $7 to $20 per square foot while high performing PVC roofing systems costs $6 to $20. Prices are estimates and may vary based on project specifics, location, and contractor.

    Labour Costs

    The cost of labour varies widely depending on the roofing contractor, location, and more. In cities like Toronto, the cost of living is higher, which also means the cost of labour is high. Request a free, no obligation quotation and we’ll provide a comprehensive total project cost, so you know exactly what to expect without any hidden fees.

      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.

      Amanda Harry

      In February this year, we had a serious flooding problem at our house coming from an outside flat roof deck and probable freezing / ice damage. As part of researching our options, we learned that identifying and fixing flat roof issues can be very complicated, expensive and problematic for insurance coverage. While WaterTite Roofing was not involved in the original installation of our flat deck, Zachary came to our house the day after we contacted him and provided us with a detailed assessment of the problem, a solution and the cost. While we ended up using a different roofing company, mostly due to insurance complications, we could not have been more pleased or impressed by the professionalism of Zachary and we make no hesitation in suggesting you consult WaterTite / Zachary if you have an issue with a flat roof.

      Don Davidson

      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!

      Glenn Edwards

      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.

      Chris Elgar

      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

      Ibrahim Jame Mosque

      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

      Zappa Zappa

      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.

      Dave Allan

      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.

      D. B.

      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.

      J. W.

      this team was excellent! they repaired our roof (a former elementary school) and did the work on time and within budget. The crew were friendly, professional and cleaned up all during the project work. We have asked them to quote us a second building and look forward to having this repaired. They are the experts in flat roofs. Great work Watertight!

      Joanna Mataya

      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.

      David Tucker

      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!

      Steve Yendt

      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!

      Protecting a Local McDonald’s: A Flat Roofing Success Story

      When it comes to flat roofing, many people think it’s just about the surface. However, a well-installed flat roof requires a more comprehensive approach – one that considers the entire roof envelope. This includes all the interconnected components that work together to protect the building from the elements, such as weather, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Recently, we had the opportunity to apply this expertise to a well-known local business – a McDonald’s restaurant.
