This page is for homeowners who already have Boral roofing on their house and want straight answers about repair, not a sales pitch for a full replacement. We’ll walk through how Boral products actually fail in Austin’s climate, what those failures cost to fix, and how we handle the job from the first call to the final walk-around.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral makes several roofing lines that show up regularly in Austin homes, and each has its own pattern of trouble. Here’s what we actually see on jobsites:

• Boral Concrete Tile (the Mission and Flat profiles): The tiles themselves are tough, but the weak point is usually the underlayment beneath them. Austin’s summer heat bakes the underlayment until it becomes brittle, and then a hailstorm or a hard rain finds its way through. What looks like a cracked tile is often just the symptom. We remove the tile, replace the underlayment section, and reset the original tile when it’s still sound. Concrete tile rarely needs replacing unless it’s actually broken.
• Boral Clay Tile (the Barrel profile): These are beautiful roofs, especially in older Zilker and Tarrytown homes, but the valleys where two roof planes meet are the usual point of failure. Clay barrel tiles can’t be cut to fit a valley tightly the way composite shingles can, so the metal valley flashing underneath takes all the water. We’ve replaced more Boral clay valley flashing in Austin than we can count. The fix is new galvanized or copper valley flashing, and we always check the tile-lock system while we’re up there.
• Boral Stone-Coated Steel (the Mission and Barrel profiles): This is a popular choice in Austin’s newer subdivisions, and it’s genuinely durable. But the fastener system has a known quirk: if a panel was installed even slightly out of sequence, the roofing screws work loose over time and the panel can lift at the edge. We see this most often after a windstorm. The fix is straightforward: resecure the panel with new fasteners and check the surrounding laps for hidden looseness.
• Flashing and vent boots around Boral roofs: No Boral product fails at the flashing more than any other brand, but the weight of tile and the profile of stone-coated steel both put extra stress on penetrations like pipes, chimneys, and skylights. Austin’s freeze-thaw cycle in January makes sealant crack faster than you’d expect. We replace the boot or flashing and use a high-temperature sealant rated for central Texas sun.
• Boral ridge and hip caps: On both tile and stone-coated steel systems, the ridge caps are the first thing to shift. They’re held with a cap-lock or mortar system, and once one loosens, water gets under the cap and works its way down. We reset or replace the cap, and if we’re doing a repair on the same roof, we walk the entire ridge line while we’re up there, because if one cap is loose, its neighbor usually is too.

Our Boral Roof Repair Process

When you call us about a Boral roof problem, here’s what happens, in order:

1. 1
   You call (361) 202-8874. A live person answers, not a voicemail. You describe what you’re seeing, and we schedule a visit. Before our technician arrives, you get their name and photo sent to you, so you know exactly who’s at your door.
2. 2
   Diagnostic inspection. Our technician walks the roof, tests the suspect area, and documents what they find with photos. We don’t just patch a leak; we trace it to its source, which on Boral roofs is often under the tile or panel, not right where the water shows up inside.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If a tile, panel, or flashing piece needs replacing, we use OEM Boral parts when they’re available and the job warrants it. When a Boral part is backordered or discontinued, we use a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you exactly what we’re using and why before we install it. No surprises.
4. 4
   Written price before work starts. You get the number in writing, with a line-item breakdown of materials and labor. If you approve it, we proceed. If you don’t, we’re done and there’s no charge.
5. 5
   The repair. We complete the work, whether it’s a single shingle, a valley flashing replacement, or a full vent boot swap. We clean up as we go and leave the roof looking like we were never there, except for the fixed part.
6. 6
   Written guarantee and test. Every repair includes a written 365-day guarantee. If it fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. We’ll also run water on the repair before we leave to prove it’s sealed. No “should be fine” from us.

What Boral Roof Repair Costs in Austin

Here’s what you can expect to pay for common Boral repair jobs in the Austin area. These are real ranges based on the work we’ve done across the city, from Round Rock down to Buda:

• Single Boral tile or shingle replacement: $350 – $550
• Flashing repair (chimney, wall, or step flashing): $500 – $900
• Valley flashing replacement: $700 – $1,400 depending on valley length and material choice
• Vent boot replacement: $300 – $450
• Underlayment patch under Boral tile: $600 – $1,100 depending on how much tile we have to lift
• Ridge or hip cap reset: $400 – $800

What moves the price? Roof pitch is the biggest factor. Steep roofs take longer and require more safety setup. The second is accessibility. If your roof is three stories up or surrounded by landscaping we have to protect, labor goes up. Third is the part itself. Boral stone-coated steel panels cost more than clay tile caps, so repair costs scale with the material you already have.

The estimate is free. Call (361) 202-8874 and we’ll give you a written number before any work starts, so you know the exact cost before you commit.

Why Austin Homeowners Call Mercer Roofing Co Austin for Boral Work

Most roofing companies in Austin will fix whatever brand you have, but few of them can tell you the specific failure pattern of a Boral stone-coated steel panel versus a Boral clay barrel tile in under a minute. Our technicians can, because we’ve repaired enough of both to know what breaks and why. That means a faster diagnosis, a more accurate repair, and no money wasted replacing things that aren’t broken.

Then there’s the other thing. We’re the roofing company that solves the stranger-at-the-door problem. Every technician we send is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge. Before they show up, you get their name and photo. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and every independently owned Mercer location is held to it contractually. You’ll know who’s coming, and they’ll show you proof of it at the door.

And because we also work with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, we can back up a Boral repair with parts and practices that transfer cleanly across brands if your home has mixed roofing. Some Austin homes do, especially after additions or partial re-roofs. We know how to handle that without making it a problem.
