SAFEGUARDING CONSUMERS: WEBS OF DECEPTION & THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU’S MODERN RELEVANCE

Posted May 6th, 2024 in General News

In an era marked by the rapid advancement of technology and the proliferation of online platforms, consumers face an unprecedented array of choices when it comes to purchasing goods and services. While the digital age has brought unparalleled convenience and accessibility, it has also ushered in new challenges, including the proliferation of fraudulent content, scams, and deceptive practices. In this landscape, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) stands as a beacon of trust and reliability, providing consumers with valuable resources and protections against unscrupulous businesses.

Founded over a century ago, the BBB has evolved into a trusted resource for consumers seeking trustworthy businesses and reliable information. With its mission to advance marketplace trust, the BBB serves as a mediator between businesses and consumers, offering dispute resolution services, consumer education, and accreditation programs.

In today's digitally-driven world, where AI-generated content and sophisticated scams abound, the BBB's role in safeguarding consumers has never been more critical. By maintaining a database of business profiles, customer reviews, and accreditation statuses, the BBB empowers consumers to make informed decisions and avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.

One of the hallmarks of the BBB is its accreditation program, which signifies a commitment to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction. Companies like our own, Watertite Roofing, with their A+ accreditation, demonstrate a dedication to integrity and excellence in their operations. For consumers, this accreditation serves as a seal of approval, instilling confidence and peace of mind when selecting a service provider.

Beyond its accreditation program, the BBB offers valuable resources to educate consumers about common scams, deceptive advertising practices, and ways to protect themselves from fraud. Through its website, publications, and community outreach initiatives, the BBB equips consumers with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the modern marketplace safely.

In an age where trust is paramount, the Better Business Bureau serves as a trusted ally for consumers, businesses, and the community at large. Its commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity sets the standard for ethical business conduct and inspires confidence in the marketplace.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 have full confidence in recommending this company to anyone. I have used Watertite on three occasions (three different buildings). They were professional, clean and their pricing was better than the competitors. Completely satisfied with the service and finished product.
    Stephane Marchand
  • 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
  • Watertite Roofing is very professional. The quality of their work is outstanding. I would not hesitate to use the them again.
    Greg Olsen
  • 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 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

  • 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!
