This page is for Tampa homeowners who already have Boral tile on the roof, or are weighing Boral for a re-roof. We’ll walk through how Boral fails in Florida’s climate, what repairs actually cost, and why the process matters more than the brand name on the tile.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral tile itself is dense and well-made. Most failures we see in Tampa aren’t the tile. They’re what’s under it, or what happens when a previous contractor didn’t flash it right.

• Boral CedarLite and VillaTile cracked at the nail line. These are lighter-profile concrete tiles, and roofers who don’t adjust nail pressure crack them during install. The crack shows up months later as a hairline that lets water through to the underlayment. We pull the damaged tile, check the decking below, and replace with matching Boral tile set to the right pressure.
• Failed valley metal under Boral tile in South Tampa and Seminole Heights. Tampa’s afternoon thunderstorms push water through valleys hard. When the valley metal under Boral tile wasn’t replaced at the last re-roof (common shortcut in Tampa), you get ceiling stains even though the tile looks fine. We cut the tile back at the valley, pull the old metal, and install new galvanized or copper valley with proper Boral tile re-laid on top.
• Boral flat tile on old roof decking over historic Tampa neighborhoods. Older homes in areas like Hyde Park and Seminole Heights often have decking that was borderline when the Boral was originally installed. The weight of Boral concrete tile on that decking leads to sagging and tile slippage over time. We assess the deck before recommending repair versus re-roof. You can’t fix this one by resetting tile alone.
• Broken Boral tiles from Tampa’s hailstorms and tree debris. Live oaks are everywhere in Tampa, and a limb drop cracks Boral tile fast. Hail from spring storms leaves spider cracks that may not show until first rain. We do full roof inspections after storm season and document cracks for insurance claims when that’s the better path.
• Boral tile discoloration and efflorescence on north-facing slopes. Tampa’s humidity plus shade on north-facing roof planes grows mildew on Boral tile, and mineral deposits (efflorescence) whiten the surface over time. It’s cosmetic, but it shortens the roof’s curb life. We clean with low-pressure methods rated for tile. Power washing Boral is a mistake, it strips the surface and voids the manufacturer finish warranty.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

Every Boral job we do in Tampa follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, and you get the price on paper before anyone climbs a ladder.

1. 1
   You call (850) 750-9193. A live person answers, asks about your roof, and books a time window. You know when we’re coming.
2. 2
   We inspect the whole roof, not just the bad spot. Travis Oakley walks every roof twice before any sign-off. We look at tile, flashing, underlayment, valleys, and drip edge, and take photos you can see.
3. 3
   You get a written price. Before any work begins, the number is on paper and it doesn’t move at the door. We show you what we found and what we recommend, in plain language.
4. 4
   We make the parts decision with you. For Boral tile, we recommend OEM Boral when it’s available and the roof is under warranty, and quality aftermarket tile that matches color and profile when OEM is discontinued or lead time doesn’t work. You approve the line item.
5. 5
   We execute and test. Repairs are done with matching underlayment and flashing, not just swapped tile. We run a water test on repairs before we pack up.
6. 6
   You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Every Boral repair and installation we do is guaranteed for one full year. If it fails in that window, we return free and fix it.

What Boral Roofing Company Costs in Tampa

What moves the price in Tampa: roof height and pitch (two-story homes and steep slopes cost more in labor), whether decking under the Boral has water damage and needs replacement, how accessible the roof is (tile roofs over screened enclosures or dense landscaping take longer), and whether the existing Boral is a current production profile or discontinued. When Boral tile is discontinued, we often source from Tampa salvage yards and reclamation suppliers, which changes both price and matching time. Call (850) 750-9193 for a free estimate and a written line-item price.

Why Tampa Homeowners Call Brennan Roofing Co Tampa for Boral Work

We’re an independently owned local roofing company that chooses to operate under a defined standard, call it The Garrison Standard. That means a written price before any work starts, every time. Background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job, so you know exactly who’s on your roof. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right at no charge for one full year. If it’s not squared away, we’re not done.

We install Boral, and we also work with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed when a Tampa homeowner wants asphalt shingle, metal, or flat roofing options instead. That means we don’t have a single-brand bias. If Boral is the right answer for your roof, that’s what we quote. If it isn’t, we tell you that too.

Travis Oakley grew up in Los Angeles and picked up his first roofing tools at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before relocating to serve the Tampa market. He and his crew spent a full season on older tile work near Seminole Heights, and that’s where we learned what Boral does right and where the installers before us got it wrong. He specializes in storm damage assessment and re-roofing, and he still walks every job twice before signing off.
