Call (833) 756-5022

This page is for San Antonio homeowners with Boral concrete or clay tile roofs who’ve taken wind, hail, or tree damage and need someone who knows the product, not a generalist with a tarp and a prayer. Cecil Hargrove grew up in Prospect Hill watching summer storms peel back inferior work, and he built this company to be the crew that shows up when we say we will. If your Boral roof is leaking, has missing tiles, or took a hit you can’t fully see from the ground, call us - a live person answers 24/7.

How Boral Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Boral Saxony Slate 900 (concrete tile): The interlocking edge profile on this line can fracture at the nail flange when hail exceeds 1.5 inches or when wind-driven debris strikes at the shallow 9-degree pitch common in Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. We see this every spring. Our fix: remove the damaged course, inspect the underlayment for puncture (often hidden), and install matching Saxony tiles with Boral-approved stainless hooks rather than standard nails, which gives better hold on repaired sections.
• Boral Villa 900 (clay tile): These barrel tiles shed water by overlap, but the raised profile catches wind like a sail. In San Antonio’s sudden spring frontal systems, we’ve seen entire courses lift at the tail, especially on homes north of Loop 1604 where exposure is higher. We don’t just set the tile back - we check the batten integrity, replace any rotted wood, and use foam adhesive at the tail in addition to the standard wire tie, which Boral’s own installation manual permits for high-wind zones.
• Boral flat shingle concrete tiles (all lines): The porous surface absorbs moisture during our humid shoulder seasons, then freezes hard during the occasional January cold snap below 25 degrees. That expansion cycle spalls the face, and once the protective skin is breached, the tile soaks up water and transfers it to the underlayment. We replace spalled tiles entirely - surface patching fails within two years in South Texas sun - and we inspect the #30 felt or synthetic underlayment beneath for saturation damage that could migrate.
• Boral ridge and hip caps (universal fit across most lines): These are the shortest tiles on the roof and the most abused in wind. The mortar bed cracks in our heat cycles, and once the bond breaks, a 50-mph gust can clear a ridge in seconds. We remove old mortar, reset with polymer-modified cement that flexes with temperature swings, and add mechanical fasteners at 6-inch centers - a step many crews skip because it’s tedious, but it’s what keeps the ridge on in the next storm.
• Boral underlayment failures (systemic, not tile-specific): Here’s a checkable detail most homeowners won’t find on Boral’s site: in San Antonio’s climate, the standard #30 felt underlayment degrades from the attic side due to radiant heat transfer through concrete tiles. By year 12-15, it can be structurally intact from above but powdering from below. When we do storm response on any Boral tile system over ten years old, we lift tiles at the eave and inspect the underlayment with a borescope. If it’s cooking from below, we tell you before we quote repair - because patching tiles on failing underlayment is throwing good money after bad.

Our Boral Emergency & Storm Damage Process

1. 1
   Live answer, real dispatch: When you call (833) 756-5022, a person picks up - not a menu, not a promise to call back. We gather your address, the damage you can see, and whether water is actively entering. If it’s active, we prioritize.
2. 2
   Photo inspection on arrival: Our technician, background-checked and in uniform, photographs every elevation from the roof, not the driveway. For Boral systems, we document tile profile, color batch if visible, and underlayment condition at test lifts. You get these photos.
3. 3
   Parts decision - OEM or qualified match: If your line is current, we source Boral originals through our distributor in Selma. For discontinued profiles like early Saxony 600, we match with compatible concrete tile from our multi-brand inventory (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning clay lines) and disclose the substitution in writing. We never guess at color match - we pull a sample and let you approve it in San Antonio daylight, not fluorescent warehouse light.
4. 4
   Repair with proper bedding: We replace damaged tiles, re-bed ridge and hip with polymer-modified mortar, and seal penetration flashings with urethane compatible with Boral’s concrete chemistry. No asphalt mastic on clay - it cooks off in August.
5. 5
   Water test and documentation: We run a controlled spray on the repaired section, check the attic for intrusion, and photograph the finished work. Your invoice includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, with Cecil Hargrove’s direct contact if anything shifts.
6. 6
   Cleanup and insurance packet: We magnet-sweep for nails, haul debris, and if you’re filing a claim, we provide the photo documentation and itemized scope your adjuster needs. We’ve worked with every major carrier in Bexar County - we know what format speeds approval.

Why San Antonio Homeowners Call Ridgeline Roofing Co. of San Antonio for Boral Work

We’ve been on Boral roofs in San Antonio since the product first showed up in volume in the early 1990s. Cecil Hargrove learned early that concrete tile in South Texas is its own animal - the thermal cycling, the UV load, the sudden hail out of a clear March sky. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing; it’s a printed card the technician hands you, with a phone that rings to a live person at 2 a.m. if your tarp shifts.

Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Boral’s specific fastening and bedding requirements. We also carry GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed lines, so if your Boral profile is discontinued or if a full replacement makes more sense than chasing parts, we can shift seamlessly to a compatible system without bringing in a second contractor. A roof either holds or it doesn’t. We build ones that hold.
