  • 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.

  • As the VP on the board of directors for our co-op apartment building in Hamilton for only the last 8 years, I was not involved in the initial decision to purchase a replacement solution for our, now, 60 year old building and therefore cannot comment on time lines involved. However, a few years ago, we felt the need to make sure it was working as it should and had a Watertite manager come to do an appropriate inspection, which resulted in his assurance that all was as it should be, which also gave me the opportunity to get a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Duro-Last product installed by Watertite. Though it is ill advised to walk around the roof in spiked track shoes, there is a fair amount of traffic as a result of regular, seasonal maintenance of our 4 roof drains by service personnel and yet the roof still continues to show no sign of aging. There is an apartment across the street of similar size and vintage that seems to almost annually require people to come and re-apply tar paper and heated tar. By contrast our roof has needed absolutely no maintenance in the 10 years since its installation and we still have another five years on our warranty. I understand this material has a number of installations in excess of 30 years. My understanding of the initial advantages of our purchase decision relate to: - the comparative speed and efficiency of installation due to its pre-engineering and construction in the consistency of a factory environment, -the fact the membrane could be installed over top of existing infrastructure without expensive replacement of valuable materials that continued to serve the building, -that it is safely installed without the use of open flame tools and finally, -as opposed to (sun) heat-absorbing tar paper based installations, the Duro-Last is made of a reflective material which contributes directly to the diminished need for air conditioning compensation. I have zero problems recommending the Watertite's Duro-Last roof replacement or for new building installation.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • We have used Watertite Roofing on several occasions and have been extremely happy with their service. They have come to our rescue many, many times always swiftly and professionally. It's incredibly hard finding a great roofing company. I'm pleased to say that we've found them and look forward to doing business with them for many years to come.

  • 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

  • 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
