This page is for Orlando homeowners who already own a Boral roof or are considering one, and need straight answers on cost, repair, and what it takes to keep these roofs watertight for another decade.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral makes some of the densest, most weather-capable tile on the market. But we’ve walked enough Orlando roofs to know exactly where they give out. Here are the five failure patterns we see most in Central Florida:

• Cracked Boral Milano tiles from foot traffic or branch impact. Boral’s Milano line is a favorite in Orlando subdivisions like Hunter’s Creek and MetroWest. The tiles themselves hold up to sun and rain, but the low-profile design means a misplaced ladder foot or a fallen oak limb leaves a crack that travels. We replace the tile individually when possible and check the underlayment beneath for hairline breaches before sealing anything back up.
• Boral Lyon shake tiles slipping on steep pitches after storm winds. The Lyon line mimics wood shake and looks sharp on the taller roofs in Windermere and Dr. Phillips, but on pitches above 6:12, wind-driven rain pushes up under the tile lip. We re-bed slipped tiles, add the correct storm clip at the eave, and inspect the battens for nail fatigue so the same tile doesn’t slide again in the next named storm.
• Failed underlayment beneath intact Boral Slate line tiles. Here’s the one that surprises most owners: the tile looks perfect, but the ceiling is blistering. Boral’s Slate series can last 50 years. The 30-year underlayment underneath it cannot. In Orlando’s humidity, decomposition starts at the eave and chases the rafter line. We find the rot, isolate the failed section, remove and pallet-catalog the salvageable tiles, replace the underlayment, and reset the original tile. No homeowner wants to discover their “lifetime” roof needed a second roof hidden underneath it.
• Mortar fatigue at Boral ridge caps and hip tiles. This is the classic Orlando failure, and we see it in Thornton Park, Audubon Park, and anywhere a tile roof has crossed the ten-year mark. The mortar used at the ridges and hips weathers faster than the tile. Once the cap loosens, every storm opens a path for water. We remove the failing mortar, reset the ridge and hip caps, and repoint with a polymer-modified compound that handles Central Florida’s wet-dry cycle better than standard mix.
• Flashing failures at valleys and penetrations on Boral system roofs. A Boral roof is only as dry as its metal. We regularly find corroded valley flashing and dried-out pipe collars on homes near Lake Eola and Delaney Park, where decades of roof work layered new tile over old flashing. We replace the metal with gauge-matched flashing, re-tuck the tiles, and verify the runout angle. That last part matters: if the angle is wrong, water sits at the valley instead of clearing it.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

You call, we show up. Here’s how a Boral job moves with Tilehurst Roofing Orlando:

1. 1
   Call (850) 303-7235 and talk to a person. A live voice answers, day or night. You describe what you’re seeing: a leak below the skylight, tiles in the yard, a soft spot at the eave.
2. 2
   Greg walks the roof himself. Every Boral estimate starts with boots on the roof, not a drive-by. Greg grew up learning the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and brought that same careful walk to Orlando roofs, including the flat-roof bungalows near the Milk District. He maps the failed areas, notes the tile profile, and matches the pattern before quoting.
3. 3
   Written price before any work starts. You get a line-item price in your hands. No handshake numbers. No surprises at the door.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM Boral tile where it matters, quality aftermarket for hardware. For visible tile, we source matching Boral profile and color through local Orlando distributors. For underlayment, flashing, and fasteners, we specify proven materials that meet or exceed the original spec, and we explain the trade-off plainly before ordering.
5. 5
   The repair, the test, the cleanup. We complete the repair, water-test the section we touched, walk the surrounding area for hidden damage, and magnet-sweep your walkway and flower beds for old nails. The place stays cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way.
6. 6
   The written guarantee leaves with the crew before the crew leaves. You get it in hand the same day. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What Boral Roofing Company Costs in Orlando

Every Boral roof is different, but here are real ranges for the work we do most around Orlando. The price is set before we start and does not move unless you change the scope.

• Individual Boral tile replacement (Milano, Lyon, Slate line): $185 – $380 per tile, including material match, underlayment check, and seal.
• Ridge cap and hip re-bedding with mortar repointing: $550 – $1,250 for a typical 30 – 45 linear feet.
• Underlayment section replacement under Boral tile (up to two squares): $2,200 – $4,800 depending on decking condition and tile salvage rate.
• Valley or pipe flashing replacement on a Boral system: $425 – $950 per penetration or valley line.
• Full Boral tile roof replacement on an average Orlando home: $28,000 – $52,000 depending on roof complexity, tile profile, decking replacement, and whether the existing tile can be reused.

What moves the price: roof pitch, story height, decking rot from years of slow underlayment failure, and tile salvage rate. If the salvage rate drops below 70%, full replacement often makes more financial sense than a section repair. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll put the real number in writing after the roof walk.

Why Orlando Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for Boral Work

Most of our customers have been burned before. A no-show contractor. A door-knock estimate that doubled by the second day. A patch job that leaked in the first heavy rain.

Our material options span seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. So when a Boral tile isn’t the right long-term call for your roof deck, we can say so honestly and price a full system from another proven line instead of forcing the sale. Every repair leaves with a written guarantee. If it fails, we return free. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing every single time.
