How Boral Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Boral Stone-Coated Steel (Villa, Saxony, Shake profiles): The acrylic stone coating that gives these panels their look can chalk and thin faster in San Antonio’s UV exposure than the manufacturer projects, especially on south-facing slopes in neighborhoods like Alamo Heights where tree cover is sparse. We strip to substrate, assess whether the underlying steel is still sound, and reinstall with matching Boral-compatible panels or transition to a comparable stone-coated system if the line has been discontinued.
- Boral Concrete Tile (Prairie, Southwest, and Malibu profiles): These tiles absorb moisture during our spring storm cycles, then the August heat drives rapid expansion. The result is corner chipping and hairline fractures that start at the fastening points. We don’t spot-replace individual tiles on a roof past 20 years, the bedding mortar is too far gone. We lift the field, replace the underlayment, and reset with new tiles on fresh battens.
- Boral Clay Tile (Barrel and S-Tile): The saltillo-style clay common in Terrell Hills and Monte Vista installations develops efflorescence that looks like failure but is often cosmetic. The real problem is the copper flashing deterioration at valleys and wall abutments, accelerated by San Antonio’s alkaline rainwater. We replace flashing with heavier-gauge copper or move to lead-coated copper where code allows, never relying on sealant as a permanent fix.
- Boral Flat Roofing (BoralTile integrated systems and low-slope membranes): The integrated waterproofing layer in older Boral flat assemblies tends to delaminate at the seams after 12 to 15 years of thermal cycling. Our crews map the delamination with infrared before touching a tool, then either weld-repair isolated failures or recommend full membrane replacement if the pattern is widespread.
- Boral fastening systems (across all lines): Boral’s specified fasteners for steel and tile can back out in our clay-heavy soils where seasonal expansion and contraction transfer stress to the roof deck. We find this most in homes built during the 1990s construction boom in Stone Oak and Helotes. We pull and replace with longer, ring-shank fasteners into solid decking, never reusing the original holes.
Our Boral Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and scheduling: A live person answers, 24/7. We book your inspection within 24 hours, often same-day for active leaks.
- 2
Photo-documented inspection: Our technician walks your roof in uniform, shoots every elevation, and shows you the images on a tablet before leaving the ladder. Cecil Hargrove still reviews every Boral assessment personally, 42 years into this.
- 3
Parts decision: If Boral OEM is available for your profile, we quote it. If the line is discontinued, we source quality aftermarket or discuss transitioning to GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed systems we also install, with no pressure either direction.
- 4
Written estimate with upfront price: The number we give is the number on the invoice. No allowances that balloon, no “discovered” charges after tear-off.
- 5
Installation and mid-job verification: Crew lead checks decking integrity, flashing placement, and fastener patterns against manufacturer specs, not habit.
- 6
Cleanup and guarantee activation: Magnetic sweep of the property, final walk with the homeowner, and activation of our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why San Antonio Homeowners Call Ridgeline Roofing Co. of San Antonio for Boral Work
We’ve been on Boral roofs in this city since the brand first gained traction here in the early 1990s. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. Cecil Hargrove grew up in Prospect Hill watching summer hail teach hard lessons about what a roof is worth, and he runs this company with the same methodical approach he learned at St. Philip’s College and refined across two decades of Bexar County roofs.
We’re also authorized installers for GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so if your Boral system is discontinued or you’re ready for a change, we can quote alternatives from the same inspection visit. A roof either holds or it doesn’t. We build ones that hold.
FAQs
No, as long as the replacement follows Boral’s published installation guidelines and uses specified materials. Because we are an independent Boral service provider and not a factory-authorized dealer, we source materials through established distributors and install to manufacturer specs, which preserves any remaining warranty coverage on materials. If your roof is past its warranty period, our 90-Day Done Right Promise still covers our workmanship completely. Call (833) 756-5022 to discuss your specific warranty status.
Sometimes, through our distributor network, but inventory for discontinued profiles like early Saxony steel or certain Malibu color runs is shrinking. When we can’t match Boral OEM, we quote quality aftermarket equivalents or present GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed alternatives that match your home’s aesthetic. We never substitute without your written approval.
If you’re seeing isolated cracked tiles or a single leak point and the roof is under 15 years old, repair often makes sense. If the underlayment is failing, fasteners are backing out across multiple slopes, or the roof is past 20 years, replacement is usually the square deal. We show you the photos and explain both paths honestly. Call (833) 756-5022 for a free inspection.
Most repairs are scheduled within 24 hours. Full replacements typically start within one to two weeks of estimate approval, depending on material availability and weather. We don’t take deposits until materials are on-site, and we don’t leave you waiting through voicemail trees when you need answers.
Yes. We maintain a permanent 5% senior and veteran discount, applied to the total invoice after any other eligible offers. It’s not a limited-time promotion, it’s a standing policy for homeowners who’ve already given plenty to this community.
