How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral offered concrete, clay, and composite roofing lines that behave differently in Florida’s heat and storms than asphalt shingles do. Here’s what we see on West Palm Beach roofs:

• Boral Concrete Tile (Standard Weight): The color-through glaze erodes after 20-plus years of salt air and UV exposure, exposing the raw concrete underneath. That isn’t just cosmetic; exposed concrete absorbs water, gets heavier, and starts spalling. In neighborhoods like El Cid and Flamingo Park, we regularly see tiles that look fine from the street but crumble when you pick them up. Fix: full replacement with a modern concrete tile or a wind-rated architectural shingle, depending on what the deck and trusses can carry.
• Boral Steel Barrel Tile (Boral Steel Series): The stone-coated finish holds up, but the fasteners don’t. We’ve pulled steel tiles off roofs near the Intracoastal where the original nails corroded clean through, leaving tiles held on by friction and sealant. If you hear a metallic rattle on windy days, that’s failing fasteners, not loose birds. Fix: replacement with a fastening schedule uprated for the WPBF wind zone.
• Boral Clay Tile (Two-Piece Mission and S-Tile): Clay tiles are brittle, and once a few crack, the underlayment underneath takes direct rain. By the time a homeowner sees a ceiling stain in a home north of Okeechobee Boulevard, the underlayment has usually been leaking for months. Fix: the key isn’t just replacing broken tiles; it’s stripping to deck and replacing the underlayment with a synthetic, high-temperature rated barrier before tile goes back down.
• Underlayment Failure on Boral Flat Tile: Boral’s flat-profile concrete tile is popular on mid-century ranos in Southland Park, but the original hot-mopped underlayment from those pre-2000 installs dries out and cracks. You’ll see it as small, dark water trails on the fascia board after a dry spell followed by rain. Fix: full re-roof, because patchwork on failed hot-mop underlayment buys you one more season, not five.
• Boral Composite (Terreal Series): The composite tiles fade unevenly in direct afternoon sun, especially on west-facing slopes out in Wellington and Royal Palm Beach. The fade itself doesn’t leak, but it signals the polymers are breaking down, and that means impact resistance is dropping too. Fix: replacement before the next tropical system, not after it.

Our Boral Roof Replacement Process

Every Boral replacement we do follows the same sequence, and you know the price at each step before we spend a dollar of your money.

1. 1
   The walk: Erik Lindgren or a lead tech walks your roof with you, taps tiles, checks fascia, and photographs everything. We’re looking at deck condition, underlayment, and how the original install handled valley and protrusion flashing.
2. 2
   Parts decision: We show you the options – OEM Boral tile where it’s still available and makes sense, matched heavy-gauge aftermarket tile from the same kiln families, or a full transition to a wind-rated shingle line from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed if your deck can’t handle tile weight. We explain the cost difference in writing.
3. 3
   Written price: You get a line-item quote, in dollars, before anything gets ordered. That number includes tear-off, dump fees, any deck replacement we can see, and the new system. “The price I hand you before we start is the price on your final invoice – that’s just how we work.”
4. 4
   Tear-off and protection: Crews arrive in uniform, shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway where they need to pass, and tarps on your landscaping. If the dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you.
5. 5
   Install and inspect: We install the new system, pull the permit, and have it inspected. Every flashing point gets photographed before the next layer goes over it.
6. 6
   Clean-up photo: Before the crew leaves, we walk the yard with a magnet sweep, photograph the completed clean-up, and send you that photo. It’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, and we don’t skip it.

What Boral Roof Replacement Costs in West Palm Beach

Your price depends on two things: what Boral line you have now, and what condition the deck is in underneath it. Here’s the honest range:

• Boral concrete tile re-roof on a sound deck: $14,000 – $22,000 for a 2,000 – 2,400 square foot home. You’re paying for tear-off, new synthetic underlayment, new tile, and fasteners rated for West Palm Beach wind loads.
• Boral clay tile re-roof with some deck replacement: $20,000 – $28,000. This is where rot shows up from years of underlayment leaks; each sheet of deck we replace adds $75 – $110 in material and labor.
• Full conversion from Boral tile to architectural asphalt shingle: $11,000 – $17,000. Many West Palm Beach homeowners choose this when the roof framing wasn’t designed for tile weight, and we’ll explain whether your home is a candidate.
• What moves the price: two-story homes, steep roof pitches, copper or lead flashing upgrades, and how much deck rot the tear-off uncovers. We always give you a written price before we start; if we find hidden deck damage, we stop, show you photos, and get your approval on the change in writing before we proceed.
