Boral Roof Replacement Nationwide

Boral Roof Replacement in Orlando: What to Know First

Boral roof replacement in Orlando typically runs $14,500 – $28,000 for a full tear-off and new concrete or clay tile system, with most jobs completed in 5 – 9 working days once materials arrive. We’re an independent Boral service provider, so we can quote your job honestly against any tile brand, not just the one a manufacturer rep wants us to push. If your Boral roof is showing its age or storm damage has cracked tiles across multiple slopes, call (850) 303-7235 and Greg Holloway will walk the roof himself before quoting a number.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral tile is genuinely tough stuff, but Orlando’s combination of afternoon thunderstorms, August heat, and oak canopy debris creates failure patterns we see over and over. Here’s what actually happens up there:

• Boral Concrete Roof Tile (Standard Weight): surface spalling at the tile’s leading edge. Years of hail and wind-driven rain erode the paste layer off the concrete, exposing the coarser aggregate underneath. The tile still looks intact from the ground, but water soaks into the exposed face and works its way under the overlap. On teardowns we consistently find the underlayment rotted directly beneath spalled tiles while the tile itself would pass a visual inspection. We replace the whole slope, not just broken pieces, because the hidden damage is almost always wider than the visible spall.
• Boral Barcelona and Saxony profiles: broken side laps from foot traffic. These lower-profile tiles have a thinner edge than Medallion or Shake profiles, and one wrong step near the overlap puts a hairline crack right through the side lock. Orlando’s humidity then wicks moisture into that crack every morning, and after a few winters the corrosion on the tile nail or clip underneath is what actually fails. When we replace these sections, we add walk pads and reroute the access path, which is something you only learn by fixing the same roof twice.
• Boral Mission and Villanova S-tiles: bird and rodent entry at the hip and ridge. Spanish-design shapes leave a small void where the tile barrel meets the ridge cap. Starlings and roof rats find that gap in about a week, and once there’s a nest under the ridge cap, the airflow neck breaks down and the roof overheats. We pull the cap, clear the nests, set a stainless steel bird guard, and reset every tile. On replacements we treat this as standard, not an add-on.
• Boral Shake profile: horizontal seam drift on low-slope sections. The shake profile looks great but on slopes under 4:12, the tiles don’t fully seat against each other, and after a few years of thermal expansion they drift sideways, opening a diagonal path for wind-blown rain. The telltale is a water stain on the fascia directly below a seam that looks fine from the street. We correct the layout and add a rainscreen underlayment on low-slope sections, which Boral’s installation guide doesn’t require but Orlando’s afternoon deluges absolutely demand.
• Boral flat tile transitions at parapet and chimney flashing: failed foam and sealant. The thinnest point in any Boral roof is where flat tile meets a vertical wall. The original install often relied on a foam wedge and a bead of sealant. In Orlando, that sealant lasts about six years before UV and moisture open it up. We cut the flashing in properly with copper or powder-coated steel, and we set the new tile into a mortar bed rather than relying on sealant alone. You’ll get twenty years from that detail instead of six.

Our Boral Roof Replacement Process

Every Boral job follows the same sequence, and we don’t shortcut any step:

1. 1
   Walk the roof and talk numbers the same day. Greg Holloway walks every roof himself before he writes a number. He looks at the condition of the tile, the underlayment material, the flashing details, and the decking. Then he tells you what he’d do and why, in plain English, and hands you a written price before leaving the driveway.
2. 2
   Choose Boral or a direct replacement. We’ll price Boral tile if you want to keep the original profile and color, but we’ll also show you what a GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning asphalt or architectural shingle replacement would cost on the same footprint. We stock nothing, so we quote exactly what you choose, never what happens to be in the truck.
3. 3
   Tear-off and decking inspection. We pull the old tile and underlayment, then inspect every sheet of roof decking. In Orlando, the decking near the eaves usually has rot from past clogged gutters. We replace anything that moves when we walk it, and we show you the cut sections before they go back.
4. 4
   Underlayment, flashings, and tile set. We install a high-quality synthetic underlayment, replace all flashings, and set the tile with stainless hardware. For Boral tile, we install the bird guard, the walk pads, and the low-slope rainscreen as standard because we know Orlando’s weather patterns from years of roofing here.
5. 5
   Test every transition. We run water down every chimney, skylight, and parapet junction, and we check the attic for leaks at every penetration. The crew doesn’t pack up until the job passes a wet check.
6. 6
   You get the written guarantee before we leave. Every replacement comes with a written guarantee covering workmanship for a full year under the Kingswell 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t done right, we make it right at no charge.

The whole process, from the call to the final walkthrough, usually takes 5 – 9 working days for a standard Orlando roof, depending on size and whether we’re swapping materials.

What Boral Roof Replacement Costs in Orlando

Here are the numbers we see on real Orlando jobs, as a rough guide:

• Full Boral concrete tile tear-off and replacement, 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft roof: $18,000 – $32,000
• Boral tile replacement on a smaller ranch or bungalow, 1,200 – 1,600 sq ft: $12,000 – $19,000
• Partial Boral tile slope replacement (one or two slopes): $5,500 – $11,000
• Boral-to-asphalt shingle conversion (tear-off, decking, GAF or CertainTeed shingle): $9,500 – $16,500

Price moves mostly on three things: roof size and pitch, the amount of decking that has to be replaced, and the condition of the original flashing details. If the tile is brown, terracotta, or a custom Boral color, the tile cost climbs because it’s a special order. If the underlayment is still solid, that saves money, but on most Orlando roofs over 15 years old, it needs to come off.

Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll give you an exact number in writing, before any work starts. We tell you the price before we touch the roof – and we mean it.

Why Orlando Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for Boral Work

We’re part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and every Tilehurst location operates under the same Kingswell Guarantee: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s on your roof. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge – no phone tag, no re-quoting. We can also move you between all seven major manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – depending on what fits your home and your budget, because we don’t have a single house brand to sell.

Greg Holloway and our crew have worked across Orlando for years, including jobs near the Milk District, where older bungalows and flat roofs keep you honest. We know Boral tile, and we know what Orlando weather does to it.
