Watertite Roofing Saves the Day with Lexcoat Flash on Low-Slope Metal Roof

Posted Mar 26th, 2024 in Projects

When it comes to commercial and industrial roofing, every leak can spell disaster. That's where Watertite Roofing steps in, providing expert solutions to keep businesses dry and operations running smoothly. Recently, we had the opportunity to showcase our expertise on a low-slope metal roof in dire need of attention. Despite the impending need for replacement, our team utilized Lexcor's revolutionary "Lexcoat Flash" liquid applied roof sealant to provide cost-effective and efficient repairs, ensuring our client's peace of mind while they budget for a new roof.

The Challenge:

The client approached us with a common but urgent problem - their low-slope metal roof was leaking, causing disruptions to their daily operations. Upon inspection, our team identified several areas of concern, including deteriorating seams and penetrations, typical issues seen in aging metal roofs. The client expressed their desire for a solution that would address the leaks without breaking the bank, as they were already planning for a roof replacement in the near future.

The Solution:

With its advanced formula designed for easy application and superior waterproofing properties, Lexcoat Flash was the perfect fit for our client's needs. Our experienced roofing professionals got to work, meticulously preparing the surface and applying Lexcoat Flash to seal every vulnerable spot on the roof.

The Results:

Watertite’s application of Lexcoat Flash effectively mitigated the situation, providing our client breathing space and time to budget for a new roof system. In the interim, our client could shift their focus off their roof, and back on their business.

The Importance of Budget-Friendly Solutions:

At Watertite Roofing, we understand the financial constraints businesses often face when it comes to roofing repairs and replacements. That's why we take pride in offering cost-effective solutions like Lexcoat Flash that deliver exceptional results without compromising quality. By addressing our client's immediate needs while being mindful of their budget, we not only solved their roofing problems but also earned their trust and loyalty for future projects.

What our customers are saying

  • There’s a reason the Watertite team consistently receives glowing reviews & is a highly rated Better Business Bureau member - such standing can only be earned - by consistently delivering a high-quality service & customer experience. To start, Zak prepared a detailed quote that included photos & clearly outlined what needed to be done & why. Thereafter, Zak dispatched a highly skilled, professional team to make the much-needed repairs. Thank you Zak & team - you are a credit to your profession! In an industry fraught with unscrupulous characters, it’s a comfort knowing the Watertite team’s business model subscribes to such old-fashioned values as honesty, integrity, quality, & doing what they committed to do. Better Business Bureau membership is a key differentiator in an industry that lacks governance, oversight & consumer protection enforcement.

  • Great experience - everything about their roof system was well explained, price was very competitive and the work was done on schedule with a great crew - what more could you ask for?

  • Always a pleasure working with Waterside Roofing from Dunnville, Ontario. Watertite is very professional at their workmanship and I will continue to have them complete multiple jobs in the future.

  • The Optimist Club of Dunnville has worked with Watertite over the years. Recently, we contracted them to install a Duro-Last overlay roof system on the flat roof over our kitchen and back storage area. We were very pleased with the job. They noted a minor concern on a roof on which they were not working and repaired it at no extra charge. The team from - the quote, to the installation, to the office payment was friendly and professional. Installation of this durable, well-warrantied roofing allows us to focus our time and energy on our mission with the youth rather than worrying about leaking roof. Kudos to the Watertite team!

  • 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.

  • We purchased a building requiring a new flatroof. Didn't take to long to figure out who I was going to work with. Thru multiple business owners in the area and talking with some friends in real estate, the same name kept coming up. I gave Zach, owner, a call and booked a time to take a peak. He arrived ontime, prepared and presentable. He knew his product well and came up onto the roof to explain the process. After measurement and finalizing the details we decided to proceed with a roof replacement. A quotation was sent back within 2 days with pictures of the existing roof, new roof design and the payment schedule from start to completion. His crew that did the roof were very respectable of my property. There was no garbage left behind and the end product turned out great. Clearly, I'd be happy to do business with Watertite again. I could have done the contract on a handshake. Zacks words were few but what got promised happened and his communication was clear. I would have zero reservations in passing their name forward. Thanks for helping me out. Great company.

  • 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!

  • Well, we started by looking for an award-winning roofing material that could withstand the harsh Canadian weather. Then we discover Dura-Last – the most advanced vinyl roofing material ever developed. In so doing we also discovered an award winning flat roofing installer, even recommended by Dura-Last themselves. Turns out Watertite Roofing is the best flat roofing installer in Canada, serving right here in Southern Ontario. Went to their office, and I couldn't believe the number of awards that they have received. Hall walls full of awards. Nobody gets that many awards unless you're real good. So we not only get an Award winning product to protect our commercial investment, but we get the award-winning installers to boot. Don't gamble with your commercial properties - Watertite Roofing; the flat roofing specialists.

  • 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
