Boral Roofing Company in San Antonio: What to Know First

Boral roofing repair and replacement in San Antonio typically runs between $450 and $1,900 for targeted fixes, while full Boral tile or stone-coated steel replacement projects start around $14,000 and can reach $40,000-plus on larger homes. We’re an independent Boral service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and most Boral repairs are completed in one visit with a written price before any work begins. If you own a home with Boral concrete tile, Boral steel, or Boral stone-coated roofing and need a roofing company that understands how these systems behave in South Texas heat and hail, call (254) 276-4369 and a real person answers. This page is for San Antonio homeowners who want straight answers about their Boral roof: what fails, what it costs, and who’s actually showing up at the door.

Every Boral job we take starts the same way: we send you the technician’s name and photo before they arrive, they badge in with photo ID at the door, and you get a written price before a single tile or panel comes off. That matters when you’re letting someone onto your roof and into your home.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Boral concrete tile (BoralTile and Boral Roof Tile lines): hairline cracks at the nail holes. In San Antonio’s heat, concrete tile expands and contracts enough that nails driven too tight during the original install become stress points. The tile cracks at the fastener, then water finds its way to the underlayment. We see this most often on homes built between 1995 and 2010 in Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. Our fix: remove the cracked tile, replace it with a color-matched Boral tile or a quality aftermarket match, and reset the fastener with the proper clearance so the tile can breathe. We don’t caulk over cracks as a “fix” – that’s a temporary bandage most roofers use, and it fails within a season.
• Boral steel (Boral Steel line, now under the Westlake Royal Roofing umbrella): stone-coating chips at the overlap seams after hail. San Antonio gets real hail, and stone-coated steel handles it better than asphalt in most cases. But the stone granules can chip away at panel overlaps where hail hits at an angle, exposing the steel underneath to rust over time. Homeowners often miss this because the damage isn’t visible from the ground. We walk the roof panel by panel during inspections, especially after a hail event, and document every seam. If the steel is intact and it’s just granule loss, we can touch up the coating. If the panel is dented or the steel is compromised, we replace that panel and blend the surrounding area.
• Boral concrete tile: valley flashing failures where tile meets metal. The tile itself is rarely the problem. The flashing underneath it is. In older San Antonio homes, valley metal and sidewall flashing were often installed with thinner gauge metal than Boral’s current installation specs call for, and 20 years of wet-dry cycles in Central Texas clay soil means shifting that stresses those flashings. We see this constantly on Boral roofs in the King William and Monte Vista historic districts. Our repair is a full flashing replacement, not a reseal. We pull the tile, replace the metal, relay the tile, and the leak stops because we fixed the actual problem.
• Boral stone-coated steel: fastener back-out on south-facing slopes. South-facing roof planes in San Antonio take brutal thermal cycling, and on stone-coated steel systems, the fasteners that hold panels to the decking can slowly back out over a decade. You’ll see small “lifts” in the panels or hear a subtle rattle on windy days. We catch this during inspections because we look for it specifically on Boral steel roofs. The fix is straightforward: remove the backed-out fastener, inspect the decking underneath for moisture intrusion, and reset with a properly sized replacement. Left alone, a backed-out fastener becomes a leak point.
• Boral underlayment degradation under concrete tile (especially pre-2010 installs). This is the big one. Boral tile can last 50-plus years, but the underlayment underneath does not. Homes in San Antonio with original Boral tile from the 1990s and early 2000s often have underlayment that’s dried out, cracked, or pulling away at the edges, especially around penetrations like plumbing vents and skylights. The tile looks fine, but water is getting through. Our approach: we can do a targeted underlayment repair for small problem areas, or a full lift-and-relay where we remove the tile, replace the underlayment system, and put the original Boral tile back. That’s the right long-term fix, and we’ll give you honest numbers on both options.

What Boral Roofing Company Costs in San Antonio

Here’s what we typically see for Boral work in the San Antonio market:

• Single cracked Boral concrete tile replacement: $175 to $350, depending on tile profile and color availability.
• Flashing repair or replacement (valley, sidewall, or chimney): $450 to $1,200, depending on linear footage and accessibility.
• Targeted underlayment repair under Boral tile: $350 to $900 for a focused problem area like a vent pipe or skylight corner.
• Full underlayment replacement with lift-and-relay of existing Boral tile: $8,000 to $18,000, depending on roof size and complexity.
• Full Boral tile or stone-coated steel roof replacement on an average San Antonio home: $14,000 to $40,000-plus, depending on square footage, tear-off, and decking condition.

What moves the price: roof pitch and accessibility, whether the decking needs replacement, tile profile availability (some older Boral profiles are discontinued and need to be sourced or matched), and whether we’re doing a targeted repair versus a full lift-and-relay. We give you a written line-item price before work starts, and that number doesn’t change once we’re on the roof unless there’s a structural issue we genuinely couldn’t see beforehand, which we’ll show you photos of. Call (254) 276-4369 for a free estimate. No pressure, no surprises.

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

Most roofing companies in San Antonio can nail down a shingle, but Boral tile and steel are different animals. You need someone who knows how concrete tile behaves in 100-degree heat, how stone-coated steel responds to Texas hail, and why underlayment matters more than the tile sitting on top of it. Grant Whitlock and our crew bring that specific knowledge to every Boral job we take. We also work across the major shingle brands, including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so if your repair or replacement makes more sense in a different material, we’ll tell you straight instead of forcing a tile solution. Every technician arrives background-checked, identity-verified, and in a marked uniform with a photo ID badge. Every repair includes a written guarantee. Every project starts with a written price. That’s the Mercer Roofing Co San Antonio standard, and it applies whether we’re replacing one Boral tile or rebuilding an entire tile roof.

A roof shouldn’t be something you worry about – that’s our job.
