This page is for homeowners who want specifics: how Boral products fail in South Florida, what repairs actually cost here, and who’s coming to your door before they ring the bell. Grant Whitlock and our Fort Lauderdale crew have handled everything from Boral concrete tile replacements on older homes near Victoria Park to steel shingle inspections in Plantation and Davie.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Boral Concrete Roof Tile (flat profile): These tiles hold up well against sun, but Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon downpours expose the real weak point – the underlayment beneath them. The tiles themselves rarely crack from rain; what fails is the 30-pound felt or synthetic layer underneath, which starts letting water through to the decking. Homeowners see a ceiling stain and assume the tile is broken. We pull the tiles in the affected area, confirm the underlayment condition, and replace the failing section with a modern high-temp synthetic. The tiles get reinstalled unless they’re cracked or spalled.
• Boral Steel Roofing (shingle and shake profiles): These panels are tough, but we regularly see rust forming at field-cut edges and around fastener heads in Fort Lauderdale’s salt-heavy air. The factory finish is good; the cuts made during installation are where moisture gets in. Our fix is to treat the corroded edge, apply a zinc-rich primer, and touch up with a color-matched coating. If the corrosion has eaten through, we replace the individual panel – not the whole roof.
• Boral Barrel Tile (mission profile): In Broward County, the main failure we see isn’t the tile itself but the flashing at the valleys and hips. The barrel profile creates little channels where wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways during summer squalls. Water backs up at the flashing and finds the seam between tile and metal. We remove the tile course at the transition, replace the step flashing, and re-bed the tile in the same profile so the water path stays clean.
• Boral’s StormLock or upgraded underlayment systems (where installed): The most common issue after a few hurricane seasons is adhesion breakdown at the laps. The membrane starts to lift at the overlapping seams, and capillary action can pull moisture sideways onto the decking. We address this by cutting back the lifted lap, applying the manufacturer’s compatible seam primer, and re-sealing with a matching adhesive. When we can’t verify the original underlayment brand, we use a compatible high-temp asphalt- or synthetic-based sealant and document exactly what we did.
• Boral CraftTile or pressed-tile profiles unique to certain Florida homes: These thinner pressed tiles are more prone to spalling at the corners from thermal cycling – the repeated heat-and-cool of Fort Lauderdale days makes the top surface flake off. It looks worse than it is. We replace the spalled tiles individually, matching both the profile and the roof’s aged patina as closely as the factory stock allows. If we can’t find a match from local Boral stockists, we source from our network of tile reclamation yards in Broward and Palm Beach counties before resorting to a full roof replacement.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We talk through what you’re seeing – tile shifting, water stains, missing pieces after a storm. No call-back forms, no “press 2 for service.”
2. 2
   We schedule the visit and send your technician’s name and photo before arrival. That’s Grant Whitlock’s rule, and it applies to every single job. The person at your door will match the photo you received, and they’ll badge in with photo ID before stepping inside.
3. 3
   On-site diagnosis with written findings. We inspect the affected area, take photos, and show you what we’re seeing. For Boral roofs, that means checking tile condition, underlayment, flashing, and decking – not just the spot that leaked.
4. 4
   Parts decision, in writing. We tell you whether we’re using OEM Boral components (when available locally and matching your existing profile) or a quality aftermarket equivalent (when the original line is discontinued or backordered). The price on paper is the price. No surprises on the invoice.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement. We do the work, clean up the site, and walk you through what we did, including photos of the finished area.
6. 6
   Your written guarantee. Every repair includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a year, we make it right – including a free second visit if the repair fails.

Each location is independently owned and operated, and every one is held to that same standard. We work with Boral alongside GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, which means we’re not married to one manufacturer’s product line.

Most repairs on a Boral roof in Fort Lauderdale can be completed in one visit, with a written guarantee in hand before we leave.

As Grant puts it, “A good roof shouldn’t be something you think about – that means we did our job right.” That’s the bar we work to, whether we’re matching a 20-year-old Boral tile or resealing underlayment after a summer storm.
