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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

The company is a family business, however they have plenty of other people to take care of your needs. Their estimate is done by Google earth and their representatives are very professional and helpful. The system they represent has an excellent 20 year warranty and provides a beautiful looking end result. Using this product is definitely a money saver when doing a flat tar and gravel roof replacement. I highly recommend them.

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.

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.

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.

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!
