Boral Roof Repair in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
We repair Boral roofs in West Palm Beach as an independent Boral service provider, and most repairs take us half a day to a full day on site once parts are in hand. Boral tile and Boral Steel repairs in this area typically run between $385 and $1,850 depending on whether we’re replacing a few tiles, rebuilding flashing, or patching an underlayment breach. You’ll see your exact written price before any work begins, and the number we hand you is the number on your final invoice. Call (728) 220-0842 for a free estimate.
This page is for West Palm Beach homeowners who own a Boral roof and need it repaired without a manufacturer runaround. We’re not Boral, we’re not a Boral warranty processor, and we won’t pretend to be either. What we are is a crew that has fixed enough Boral tile and Boral Steel roofs along the Florida coast to know exactly where they fail and what it takes to fix them properly. Erik Lindgren, our owner, has been on roofs up and down this coast for nearly three decades, and he’ll walk you through your repair before a single nail goes in.
How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Boral Concrete Tile, standard profile: broken corner tiles from foot traffic and tree strikes. This is the most common Boral repair call we get in West Palm Beach. Concrete tile is dense and long-wearing, but the corners chip when a branch drops, a pressure-washer wand hits wrong, or someone walks in the wrong spot. Once a corner is gone, water gets under the tile and the underlayment does all the real work. We replace the tile and inspect the underlayment beneath it. A chip that looks cosmetic from the ground often isn’t.
- Boral Steel, Stone-Coated: flashing loss at the batten seams near valleys. Boral Steel panels are durable, but the profile creates small gaps where panels meet valleys and sidewalls, and fasteners slowly back out through the West Palm Beach heat-and-humidity cycle. The symptom is a brown stain on the ceiling near a valley or a drip against the siding after a heavy afternoon storm. Our fix is re-flashing the valley with the panel profile matched, replacing degraded fasteners, and sealing the channel so the water’s only path is down the flashing, not under it.
- Boral Concrete Tile, Flat Profile: hairline cracks at the headlap. You won’t spot these from the ground. We find them when we walk the roof: a hairline along the top third of the tile where water’s been wicking between the overlapped edges. It’s more common on lower-slope sections. A cracked headlap lets water ride under the tile above it, and a leak shows up nowhere near the crack. We pull the affected tiles, replace the cracked ones, and re-bed the surrounding course so the overlap stays tight.
- Boral Steel, Classic Shake/Cottage Shake: screw-grommet wear around the perimeter fasteners. The neoprene grommets under steel panel screws eventually flatten and crack from UV and salt air. When a grommet fails, the screw becomes a tiny water entry point. We find these during storm-prep checks and leak calls. We replace the failed fasteners with new screws and fresh grommets, and we re-secure the panel without overdriving so the weather-seal stays intact.
- Boral tile roof as a whole: underlayment aging out before the tile does. This is the big one. Boral tile will typically last decades longer than the underlayment beneath it, especially in West Palm Beach’s UV and seasonal rain. Tile keeps doing its job, but the secondary water barrier underneath has thinned or split, and then a leak appears. We repair sections of underlayment where the damage is isolated, and we’ll tell you straight-up when the underlayment has simply reached the end of its useful life and a resurface is the smarter money. If the tile is still good, the tile stays.

Our Boral Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call. A live person answers at (728) 220-0842, day or night. We take the details: what you’re seeing, where the leak is if there’s one, and what kind of Boral roof you have.
- 2
Inspect. We schedule a time that works for you, then walk the roof. Erik will look at the tiles or steel panels, pull out the obvious problems, and check what’s around them. He’ll explain what he finds in plain terms, not contractor shorthand.
- 3
Written price. Before anyone touches your roof, we hand you a written price for the specific repair. Not a range, not a fuzzy estimate. A number. If parts realities change mid-repair, we stop and re-write the price, but our goal is that the number we write first is the one you pay.
- 4
Source the parts. We use OEM Boral components when they’re available and the warranty path calls for them. When OEM isn’t practical, we use quality aftermarket parts that match the profile and finish of your existing Boral material. We’ll tell you which we’re using and why.
- 5
Repair. Shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, and a tidy work area on the roof. We make the repair, re-seat what’s around it, and test the area so water goes where water’s supposed to go.
- 6
Cleanup photo, then you’re done. Before the crew leaves, we photograph the cleanup and the completed repair. You know we were careful because you can see it with your own eyes. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right.
What Boral Roof Repair Costs in West Palm Beach
Most Boral roof repairs in West Palm Beach fall into these ranges, and you’ll get your exact written price before any work starts:
- Replacing 1-5 broken Boral concrete tiles: $385-$675, depending on profile match and whether we need to re-bed surrounding tiles.
- Repairing a Boral Steel flashing detail or valley: $520-$1,100, depending on valley length and how much panel re-securing is required.
- Leak repair with underlayment patch on a Boral tile roof: $750-$1,850, depending on whether tile must be lifted and reset and how much underlayment is being replaced.
What moves the number is access, pitch, and whether the underlayment beneath the Boral material is the actual source of the leak. A simple tile swap on a single-story home is quick. A leak running down a two-story hip valley is a different afternoon. The good news: you’ll know in writing before we start. Call (728) 220-0842 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll get you a straight answer.

Boral makes a solid roof. What matters in West Palm Beach is who fixes it when it needs fixing. We know Boral’s profiles, we know where the failures show up in this climate, and we use the same care at your home that we’d use at our own: shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, all debris cleared and photographed before we leave. If the dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you. Where there’s a choice, we use pet-safe products.
We also back every repair with the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise. That means clean up like it’s our own home, ask before we move or touch anything, respect your family’s time and quiet hours, and explain the price before the work. We don’t ask you to trust a handshake; we put it in writing.
And while Boral is a big part of what we service, we also repair GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed roofs. If your home has a Boral tile field with CertainTeed flashing at the chimney, we’re ready for that too. No “we only do one brand” fine print.
Frequently Asked Questions About Boral Roof Repair
Repairing individual tiles, panels, or flashing with OEM Boral components or profile-matched aftermarket parts does not, by itself, void your material warranty. What voids warranties is improper workmanship: walking on the wrong part of the tile, overdriving screws on steel panels, or replacing components with mismatched profiles that compromise the weather lap. We pay attention to where we walk and how we instrument each repair, because a warranty is only as useful as the care behind the work. If you’re concerned about warranty status on a specific repair, call (728) 220-0842 and Erik will be straight with you about what’s safe and what isn’t.
Often, yes. Boral has changed color lines over the years, and older West Palm Beach homes have profiles and pigments that aren’t active in the current lineup. We work with regional distributors who stock closeout tile and panel lots, and we do color-matching against your existing roof, accounting for the years of South Florida UV exposure that shift surface tone. A brand-new tile placed next to twenty-year-old tile will always look slightly different; we’ll tell you that upfront so there are no surprises.
Most isolated repairs take one visit: a half-day to a full day on site. The wild card is parts. If a specific Boral profile or color isn’t available locally, it ships in a few days and we’ll schedule the repair the moment it arrives. A leak repair that requires underlayment work on a large or steep section may run a second visit. We’ll give you the timeline before we start, and we stick to it.
Not necessarily. Tile leaks often come from localized underlayment failure, broken tiles, or flashing details, and those are repairable. What you need is an honest assessment of the underlayment’s overall age and condition. If the tile itself is sound but the underlayment underneath is spent across the whole roof, a full resurface makes more sense than chasing leak after leak. Erik will show you exactly what he’s seeing and why he’d repair or replace. Call (728) 220-0842 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Boral Steel repairs usually involve fasteners, grommets, and flashing details at valleys, pipes, and sidewalls, and steel panels can sometimes be re-secured without full panel replacement. Boral tile repairs usually involve cracked or broken tile, and sometimes the underlayment beneath them. Both take the right tools and the right touch: steel needs precision torque so grommets seal properly, and tile needs careful foot placement so you don’t crack more tile than you fix. We work both systems regularly, and we’ll tell you what your roof actually calls for.
