How We Saved a Property Owner Over $55,000 With One Simple Decision

A few days ago we got a call from a property owner who has an older apartment building. The place has a flat roof, and water was starting to find its way inside. He had already talked to several roofing companies and every single one told him the same thing. Full roof replacement. Around sixty thousand dollars. No alternatives, no nuance, no real explanation.

He had just finished a kitchen renovation and the timing could not have been worse. So he reached out to us and booked an inspection. We went up on the roof, looked everything over, and yes, the roofing was getting toward the end of its life, but it still had years left in it. The leaking was coming from the drains and the penetrations, not the roofing system itself.

So instead of pushing him into a sixty thousand dollar decision, we laid out a few options. He could replace the roof. He could do a coating. Or he could choose simple repairs. Those repairs came in under five thousand dollars. That means we saved him over fifty five thousand dollars by fixing the real issue instead of treating the entire roof like a write off.

The best part is that with the Ecodur coating we are bringing in, we can make those repairs fully waterproof, environmentally friendly, and durable. Once it is applied, the roof is sealed and the owner gets years of extra life before he ever has to think about a major roofing project.

If you have a flat roof on a shop, barn, house, apartment, or any other building, it is worth having us look at it before you agree to a full reroof. Most companies in Canada are not using Ecodur, but we are, and it opens the door to repairs that other contractors are not offering.

Even if the roof is in rough shape, we can scan it, assess it properly, and there is a good chance we can still use this coating to get you a fully waterproof roof for far less than a full replacement.
