How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral concrete and clay tiles are genuinely tough. But “tough” is not the same as “immune,” and after enough years under San Diego’s sun and Santa Ana winds, certain failures show up predictably. Here is what we actually find on Boral roofs in San Diego county:

• Boral TileSeal / Boral Concrete Tile surface erosion. On older Boral concrete tile installations, we regularly see the top color layer begin to powder or flake, especially on south-facing slopes in neighborhoods like Tierrasanta and Scripps Ranch. The tile itself often remains structurally sound underneath. The fix is not to replace whole sections of tile. The correct approach is selective tile replacement with color-matched field tiles, which protects the roof’s drainage without a premature full replacement. We walk each tile before recommending replacement.
• Broken tiles from foot traffic, not weather. Boral tile is rated to handle serious weather, but not solar installers, satellite technicians, or the occasional ambitious holiday-light enthusiast. We see far more cracked Boral tiles in San Diego from boots than from hail. The cracked tile itself is a quick fix. The real issue is that water then saturates the underlayment beneath, and if that has deteriorated, the repair grows. We always inspect the underlayment at any broken tile, not just the visible surface.
• Boral flat tile interlock shifting after Santa Ana wind cycles. Certain Boral tile profiles, including their flat interlocking lines, can shift slightly over years of repeated high-wind cycles, particularly on exposed ridgelines in areas like Point Loma and Ocean Beach. A shifted tile may still look fine from the ground, but water can enter at the joint. Our repair protocol is to lift, reset, and resecure the affected tiles rather than smear sealant over the gap, which is what we find on too many previous patches.
• Weep hole blockage on Boral mission-style tile. Boral barrel and mission tile profiles rely on small weep holes at the eave to let condensation and minor water entry escape. In San Diego’s coastal zones, salt air, dust, and the occasional nesting insect clog those holes. Homeowners then see water staining at the eaves and assume the tile failed. It did not. A clogged weep hole is a drainage failure, and clearing and restoring those pathways is one of the most common low-cost Boral repairs we perform.
• Valley flashing corrosion at Boral tile intersections. Valleys channel a lot of water, and on older Boral roofs the metal flashing in those valleys is often the first component to fail, especially within a few miles of the coast where salt accelerates corrosion. The Boral tile itself can have decades of life left. We replace valley metal with heavier-gauge material and reset the tile carefully, so a $1,200 flashing repair extends the roof for years instead of forcing a $30,000 replacement now.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

Here is exactly what happens when you call us about a Boral roof in San Diego:

1. 1
   You call (619) 810-5520 and a person answers. Not a voicemail tree. You describe what you are seeing, and we schedule a visit. Before our technician arrives, you receive their name and photo, so you know who is at your door.
2. 2
   The technician badges in with photo ID and walks the roof. Every one of our techs arrives in a clean, marked uniform, is background-checked, and is held to the Threshold Standard. They inspect the visible Boral tile, the underlayment, flashing, and drainage points. Grant Whitlock himself walks most San Diego job sites before any quote is finalized.
3. 3
   We present a written price before any work starts. No verbal ballpark. No “we’ll see once we open it up.” You get a line-item price. Every repair includes a written 365-day guarantee.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM Boral tile or quality aftermarket match. If we can source the exact Boral tile profile and color, we use it. If the line is discontinued, we source a compatible aftermarket tile and show you the match before installation. We never use a visibly mismatched tile and hope you’ll accept it.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement is completed and tested. We resecure, reflash, and water-test the repaired area. For replacements, we install new underlayment, battens, and Boral tile per manufacturer installation specs.
6. 6
   You receive the written guarantee and a photo record of the work. If the repair fails within 365 days, the second visit is free. That is not a policy we hope you’ll never use. It is the entire point of having a guarantee.

Why San Diego Homeowners Call Mercer Roofing Co San Diego for Boral Work

There are plenty of roofing companies in San Diego that will take Boral work. Most will send someone you have never met, with no name, no photo, and a price that changes once the roof is opened. We built Mercer Roofing Co San Diego around the opposite approach. Every job includes a written price before work starts, a written 365-day guarantee on repairs, and a technician whose name and photo arrive on your phone before they arrive at your door. Those technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and held to the Threshold Verified standard on every visit. And because no roof brand lives alone on a house, we also work routinely with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed asphalt shingles when a Boral roof shares the property with other structures. We are part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000. A roof shouldn’t be something you worry about – that’s what we’re here for.
