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!

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.

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!

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?

5 Stars for commercial flat roofing in Haldimand and Niagara

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.

Our church (Port Colborne BIC Church Port Colborne Ontario) contracted Watertite Roofing to install new roofing on our flatroof here at the church. We are so very pleased with the job... well done...professional...tidy...exceptional workmanship...thorough...and wonderful to work with from beginning to completion. Five stars for a job well done.

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

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
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.

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.

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!
