How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral makes a solid roof, but Houston’s heat, humidity, and storm cycles create failure patterns we see over and over. Here’s what we find on Boral jobs across Houston, from Meyerland to Kingwood to Sugar Land.

• Boral concrete tile (Boral Concrete Roof Tile, including the Cedar Lite and Villa profiles): The tiles themselves rarely fail, but the underlayment beneath them does. Houston’s humidity works its way under cracked or slipped tiles, and the old felt underlayment degrades years before the tile shows visible damage. By the time a homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the decking underneath is often compromised. We remove the tile in the affected section, replace the underlayment with a high-quality synthetic, and reset the tiles. If tiles are cracked, we match the profile and color from Boral’s current line or source matching reclaimed tile.
• Boral steel roofing (Boral Steel, including the Stone Coated Steel lines): We see stone-coat loss at the overlap seams on homes with heavy tree cover or in areas like the Heights where oak branches scrape during high winds. The steel core itself is fine, but once the stone coating erodes, the panel looks worn and the homeowner worries about rust. The fix is usually panel replacement in the affected run, not a full reroof. We match the profile and color, and we check the clips and fasteners while we’re up there because loose fasteners are the other common issue we find.
• Boral barrel tile (Mission and S-profile): The ridge cap mortar is the weak point. Houston’s freeze-thaw cycles, mild as they are, still crack the mortar over time, and then water follows the cracks down into the ridge line. We see this on older Meyerland homes constantly, especially after the heavy spring rains. The fix is removing the loose mortar, resetting the ridge cap with a flexible adhesive compound that moves with the tile instead of cracking, and checking the flashing underneath while the cap is off.
• Boral flat tile installations: Flat Boral tiles hold water longer than barrel profiles because they don’t have the raised curves to shed rain quickly. On low-slope Houston roofs, that means algae growth and, eventually, water wicking under the tile edges. We correct this by adjusting the tile exposure slightly, cleaning the surface, and confirming the slope and drainage path are working before anything is reset.
• Flashing failures at Boral roof penetrations: Skylights, vent pipes, and chimney flashings are where Boral roofs leak most often, and it usually has nothing to do with the tile. The original installer seals the flashing with a caulk that hardens in Houston’s UV, and within a few years it separates. We replace the flashing with new metal, use a UV-stable sealant, and reset the surrounding tile so the repair blends without a visible patch.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

1. 1
   You call (254) 566-3573. A live person answers. No voicemail, no callback queue. We ask what you’re seeing, where, and when it started.
2. 2
   We schedule a visit and show up in the window we gave. Greg Holloway walks the roof himself most days. He looks at the tiles, the underlayment, the flashing, and the decking from the attic side if accessible.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. The estimate lists the materials, the labor, and the scope. If we need to match old Boral tile, we note the profile, color, and source on the estimate. Nothing is vague.
4. 4
   We decide together on parts. For Boral tile, OEM is usually the right call because the profiles are specific. For steel, we’ll discuss OEM panels versus a quality aftermarket profile if the original line is discontinued. We never switch you to a different material without explaining why and pricing both options.
5. 5
   The repair happens on schedule. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They use Boral-compatible fasteners and sealants. The crew covers the work area, works clean, and hauls away all debris.
6. 6
   You get a written guarantee before the crew leaves. Not mailed later. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What moves the price: roof height and pitch, how much tile must be removed and reset, whether we can match the existing tile or need to source reclaimed material, and how much decking damage we find underneath.
