Boral Roof Repair in Dallas: What to Know First
Boral roof repair in Dallas typically runs $425 to $1,200 for most shingle replacements, leak repairs, and flashing work, with most jobs completed in a single visit. As an independent Boral service provider, we repair Boral concrete and clay tile roofs without the inflated pricing that comes from going through a manufacturer referral program. If you own a Boral roof and you’ve spotted a cracked tile, a stain on the ceiling, or granules in the gutter, this page tells you exactly what’s going on and what it costs to fix it. Call (432) 302-5605 and you’ll reach a live person who can schedule your free estimate.
How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Boral CedarLite and CedarClassic shake profiles: freeze-thaw cracking at the butt edge. Dallas doesn’t get hard freezes often, but when it does, moisture trapped in the shake’s lower edge expands and splits the tile right where it overhangs the course below. You’ll see a horizontal crack an inch or two up from the bottom edge. We replace the split shake, check the two courses above it for hairline fractures, and re-nail the replacement so it sits flush with its neighbors.
- Boral VillaTile flat profile: broken corners from foot traffic and hail. VillaTile is a low-profile concrete tile that’s more likely to break at the corners than the heavier barrel profiles. We see this most in Dallas neighborhoods with mature trees, where limbs scrape across the roof plane, and after spring hailstorms when the tile’s aggregate surface takes a beating. The fix is a clean swap of the damaged tile with a color-matched replacement, plus a close look at the underlayment underneath for impact damage.
- Boral Barcelona and Capistrano barrel profiles: cracked pans under ridge caps. The deep channel of a barrel tile collects debris, and when that debris holds moisture against the pan, the freeze-thaw cycle or simple thermal expansion can crack the tile right under the ridge cap. Homeowners in Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow call us for this all the time after noticing a drip near the peak. The repair means lifting the cap, replacing the cracked pan, and resetting the cap with fresh mortar or a mechanical fastener.
- Boral Timberline composition shingles (discontinued but still on Dallas roofs): granule loss and seal failure at the nail line. Boral’s asphalt shingle line was discontinued years ago, but plenty of Dallas homes still wear them. The failure pattern we see is the same as any aging composition shingle: the adhesive strip dries out, the shingle lifts, and wind gets underneath. If the field is intact, we repair with an architectural shingle that matches in profile and color, and we tell you plainly if the repair is a short-term fix or if the roof has entered its last few years.
- Boral flat tile systems on low-slope Dallas additions: inadequate slope causing ponding. Tile isn’t a top pick for low-slope roofs, but plenty of Dallas additions from the 1990s and 2000s put Boral tile on slopes that barely meet code. When water ponds behind the tile, it works into the underlayment and then the decking. Our repair involves pulling the tile in the ponding zone, correcting the underlayment, and re-laying the tile with better drainage, or converting that section to a membrane system that actually holds water out.

Our Boral Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call, a human answers. We take your address, the symptom you’re seeing, and we look at your roof’s age and tile profile before we ever send a truck.
- 2
We send you the tech’s name and photo before the visit. When our technician arrives, he’ll be in a clean uniform with a photo ID badge at your door. You’ll know who’s coming before the knock.
- 3
The technician walks the roof and reports what he actually found. We don’t guess. If you have a Boral CedarLite shake cracking at the butt edge, he’ll photograph it, explain why it failed, and tell you if there’s a bigger problem behind the visible damage.
- 4
We give you a written price before any work starts. Whether it’s a single tile swap, a vent boot replacement, or a flashing repair across three valleys, the number you see is the number you pay. If the repair needs OEM Boral parts, we source them. If a quality aftermarket tile matches better, we use that and tell you why.
- 5
We do the repair, then test it. Every repair gets a water test where it matters. If a leak is involved, we don’t leave until we’ve confirmed the water path is closed.
- 6
You get a written guarantee. Every Boral repair is covered for 365 days. If it fails within that year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
What Boral Roof Repair Costs in Dallas
Here’s what Boral owners in Dallas can expect to pay based on the jobs we see most often:
- Single tile or shake replacement (with color match): $295 – $475
- Vent boot replacement on a Boral tile roof: $350 – $550
- Flashing repair around a chimney or skylight: $450 – $850
- Valley repair with new metal and underlayment: $650 – $1,100
- Leak repair requiring decking patch plus tile reset: $800 – $1,400
What moves the price is access, pitch, and whether we’re color-matching a discontinued Boral line or stocking a current profile. Steep roofs cost more. Two-story homes cost more. If the underlayment under a cracked tile is shot, the job grows from a tile swap to a small system repair. We’ll tell you that before we start, in writing.

AfterWhy Dallas Homeowners Call Mercer Roofing Co Dallas for Boral Work
Most roofers in Dallas will happily tell you they can fix a Boral roof. Few of them know the difference between a CedarLite shake and a VillaTile flat, or why a cracked pan under a Barcelona ridge cap fails differently than a broken corner on a Capistrano barrel. We work on these roofs every week, across Oak Cliff, East Dallas, Richardson, and up into Far North Dallas. We also carry working knowledge of GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, so when a repair crosses brands or a full replacement makes more sense, you’re dealing with one crew that knows the whole roof, not just the patch. Every technician we send to your door is background-checked, identity-verified, and badged under the Threshold Verified standard. You get a written price before work starts, a written 365-day guarantee on the repair, and a live person on the phone around the clock. Grant Whitlock started this operation with a simple habit: tell the homeowner the truth about what the roof needs and what it doesn’t. That habit is why our customers call us back.
FAQs
Yes, and we’re careful about how we make the repair so the warranty stays intact wherever it still applies. Boral’s concrete and clay tile warranties cover the tile itself, not the labor or the underlayment, and most Dallas homes with Boral roofs are beyond the tile warranty window anyway. What matters more is whether the repair method respects the original installation details. We use the proper fasteners, the right underlayment patch, and we don’t substitute cheap sealant for real tile replacement. If you have an active warranty claim, we’ll document the repair so you can file it cleanly. Call (432) 302-5605 and we’ll walk you through what your specific roof qualifies for.
A live person answers our phone 24/7, and we schedule Boral leak repairs as quickly as the calendar allows, usually within a few days for non-emergency work. If water is actively coming into the house, we prioritize you, and we’ll tell you the truth about what can wait and what can’t. A cracked tile with good underlayment underneath can usually wait a few days. A cracked tile with failed underlayment is a different story. Call us and describe what you’re seeing, and we’ll help you triage it over the phone.
We use whichever makes the better repair for your roof, and we tell you which one we’re using and why before the job starts. For a current Boral line like CedarLite or VillaTile, color-matched OEM tiles are usually available through Dallas distributors, and the cost difference is small enough that OEM makes sense. For discontinued lines like Boral Timberline, a quality aftermarket match from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed is often the only realistic option. You’ll know the plan before we nail anything down.
Almost always yes, in the short term, and we’ll be straight with you about whether a repair makes sense or whether you’re throwing money at a roof that’s near the end. A $500 tile and flashing repair on a Boral roof with 15 years of life left is a smart call. A $1,200 repair on a roof where the underlayment is failing in four places is a stopgap, and you should know that before you spend the money. We’ll show you photos, explain the condition, and let you decide with real information.
No. The written price you approve before we start is the price you pay unless we uncover something significant and get your written approval to change scope. What we find under a tile is sometimes worse than what’s visible on top, and when that happens, we stop, explain what we’re seeing, and give you an updated price before we touch anything else. You will never get a surprise invoice from us.
