    Skilled & Certified Flat Roofing Experts

    Our experienced team of flat roofing experts is trained and certified in installing, maintaining, and replacing single-ply roofing systems.

    We understand the nuances of working on commercial and industrial flat roofs and use only premium-grade materials, including PVC membranes from Goliath Roofing Systems and Duro-Last, to ensure leak prevention, strength, and energy efficiency.

    50+ Years of Roofing Experience

    Since 1976, Watertite Roofing has delivered trusted commercial roofing services throughout Ontario. Our deep understanding of flat roofing systems allows us to design solutions tailored to your building’s unique requirements, including re-roof projects, new roof installations, and complex roof repairs.

    Reliable Roofing Services

    Our reputation is built on delivering reliable roofing services for commercial and industrial properties. We work closely with property managers and building owners to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.

    Whether you’re dealing with water infiltration, aging materials, or ongoing leaks, our team will recommend the most cost-effective and permanent repair solution whether repairs are all that is required, or a roof replacement is needed using top-performing systems like Duro-Last and Goliath.

    Commercial and Industrial Flat Roof Replacement Services

    After your initial roof inspection, we’ll determine if your roof needs a full replacement or if targeted repairs are sufficient. We may recommend flat roof replacement if:

    • Moisture has compromised the insulation or decking
    • The roof is patchworked beyond repair 
    • Repairs are no longer cost-effective
    • You plan to keep the building long-term

    We’ll recommend the best flat roofing system—often a PVC single-ply solution from either Goliath or Duro-Last—to provide a secure, long-term solution.

    We Use the Best Roofing Materials for Commercial Flat Roofs

    Selecting the right roofing materials is essential for your building’s durability, energy performance, and value. That’s why we use premium single-ply roofing systems, including:

    • Duro-Last PVC: Custom-fabricated, highly reflective, and ENERGY STAR® certified
    • Goliath Roofing System: Canadian-made, reinforced PVC membrane proven to perform in extreme weather

    These materials are engineered to resist punctures, UV damage, and chemical exposure—ideal for Ontario’s commercial and industrial environments.

    Why PVC Roofing Systems?

    PVC roofing is among the most popular commercial roofing solutions due to its strength, energy efficiency, and longevity.

    Both Goliath Roofing Systems and Duro-Last offer factory-fabricated PVC membranes that reduce installation time, minimize seams, and improve leak prevention. These membranes are flexible, durable, and built to last up to 30 years with proper maintenance.

    They also offer excellent performance in retrofit scenarios, allowing us to install a new roof over your existing system when conditions allow—saving time and reducing waste.

    Installation Options for Different Roofing Needs

    Depending on your roof’s condition, we’ll recommend:

    • PVC overlay (retrofit): Ideal if your current roof is dry and structurally sound
    • Full tear-off and replacement: Required when insulation is saturated or the substrate is compromised

    Both Duro-Last and Goliath offer membranes that can be installed quickly and securely, helping you save on labor and material costs while protecting your investment.

    Custom-Fabrication for Commercial and Industrial Roofing

    The Duro-Last system is factory-fabricated to your building’s exact dimensions, reducing field seams and installation errors. Similarly, Goliath Roofing Systems are precision-engineered for consistent performance, strength, and weather resistance.

    Both systems offer watertight seams, improved roof installation accuracy, and minimized on-site labor—ideal for large commercial buildings and complex industrial properties.

    Durable Flat Roof

    When installed by a professional flat roofing contractor, a PVC roof system from Duro-Last or Goliath can last 20 to 30 years. These single-ply roofing systems are reinforced, fire-resistant, and flexible enough to handle Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles and high winds.

    They also resist chemicals, grease, and other rooftop hazards common in industrial environments.

    Energy-Efficient Flat Roof

    Both Duro-Last and Goliath Roofing Systems offer high reflectivity, helping reduce energy bills by keeping buildings cooler in the summer. This translates to significant energy savings and lower HVAC costs over time.

    These membranes meet ENERGY STAR® and Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) standards, making them ideal for building owners looking to reduce cooling costs and support sustainability goals.

    Long-Term Sustainability

    PVC roofs from Goliath and Duro-Last are built for longevity and minimal ongoing maintenance. Fewer replacements mean fewer materials going to landfills over time.

    Duro-Last’s “Recycle Your Roof” program ensures old membranes are repurposed, not discarded—further reducing the environmental footprint of your commercial roofing project.

    Premium Materials That Can Be Recycled

    Recyclable roofing materials help reduce construction waste. At end-of-life, Duro-Last membranes can be collected and recycled into new products. This program, combined with the long life of Goliath’s membranes, offers a sustainable solution for industrial and commercial roofing needs.

    Is It a Cost-Effective Roofing Option for Industrial and Commercial Properties?

    Yes. PVC single-ply roofing systems from Goliath and Duro-Last are both highly cost-effective.

    When used in a retrofit installation, they reduce tear-off, disposal, and insulation costs—plus they require less maintenance and fewer repairs over their lifespan. That means lower repair costs, less downtime, and better long-term ROI for your industrial or commercial building.

    Need a Trusted Industrial & Commercial Roofing Contractor?

    Commercial and industrial roofs are not like residential property roofs. They’re often flat and designed to protect the inventory, equipment, the people working in the facility, and their daily operations. Unfortunately, owners and managers of such properties rarely know the specific roofing system they have until the roof begins to deteriorate or leak.

    The good news is that Watertite Roofing is a trusted commercial roofing company that offers on-site roof assessment. During this initial roof inspection, we’ll determine the extent of damage and recommend the best roofing services. For instance, minor leaks or cracks can be fixed through targeted flat roof repairs. If the roof damage is extensive, you may need to re-roof your property.

    Note that we offer free on-site roof assessments and provide accurate quotations. The quote will indicate the actual roof installation or repair costs and project timeline. Whether your roof requires permanent repairs or replacement, our experienced team will provide superior quality flat roofing services.

    Schedule a free consultation today and discuss your low-slope or flat roof needs with a trusted partner that has been offering top-quality flat roofing solutions since 1976.

    FAQs

    The choice for a flat roofing solution for commercial and industrial facilities depends on the structure of the building, the owner’s future plans, and their budget. At Watertite Roofing, we often recommend Duro-Last and Goliath flat roofing membranes. One of our team members can help compare different commercial roofing solutions and choose the right one for your commercial or industrial facility.
    Not every leak or crack necessitates flat roof replacement. Consult a flat roof service provider to assess the nature and extent of the roof damage. At Watertite Roofing, we recommend flat roof repairs for minor damage and a new flat roof if your current roof is severely damaged.
    The exact cost of flat roofing services such as installation, emergency roof repairs, routine roof maintenance, and replacement varies widely depending on the nature and scope of your project. Some of the cost factors include labor, roofing materials, roof size, whether an old roof tear-off is necessary, and more. Let our roofing contractors assess your industrial or commercial roofing project and provide a detailed quote.
    Yes. Leak prevention and other forms of preventive maintenance are important for industrial and commercial flat roofs. Routine inspections and timely flat roof repairs can extend the life of a commercial flat roof by 5 to 10 years, limit roof maintenance costs, and prevent unnecessary facility shutdowns.
    The duration will depend on the size of the building and the exact type of roofing material. Smaller roofs may take a few weeks, while large and complex commercial flat roofs may take an extended period. Let our commercial roofing team assess your project and provide a clear timeline.
    Depending on the type of commercial flat roof you choose and installation approach, these roofs last 20 to 30 years. For instance, EPDM lasts 12 to 20 years while PVC may last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance.

      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.
