Boral Roofing Company in Houston: What to Know First
Boral roofing company work in Houston means repair and replacement of concrete and clay tile systems, along with Boral’s Stealth and Saxony composite lines. Most Boral roof repairs in the Houston area run between $450 and $1,800 depending on what failed. We independently service Boral roofs – not as a manufacturer affiliate, but as a roofing company that knows these systems cold. If you own a Boral roof anywhere from Katy to Clear Lake, this page tells you what actually goes wrong, what it costs to fix, and how we handle the job from first call to final walk-through. Call (940) 461-8481 to schedule a free estimate.
This page is for homeowners who already have a Boral roof and need straight answers, not a sales pitch. We’ll walk through failure modes, parts decisions, and real Houston pricing.
How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Stealth shake series: cracked tabs from hail impact. Boral’s Stealth composite shake is a polymer-based product, but Houston hail storms hit hard enough to crack tabs along the nail line. The crack runs from the fastener and the tab eventually lifts in high wind. We replace the individual damaged shakes when stock is available, matching the ridge and field color as close as the batch allows.
- Saxony slate series: surface granule loss and UV brittleness. The Saxony line has a slate profile made from a compressed composite. After ten or more Houston summers, the surface layer starts shedding granules into the gutter and the material gets brittle at the edges. We see this most in Meyerland and Bellaire homes built between 2008 and 2015. Patch repairs work short-term. A section replacement is the honest fix when granule loss covers more than a third of a slope.
- Concrete tile systems: cracked hips and ridge caps from thermal cycling. Boral concrete tile performs well in heat, but the hip and ridge caps take the brunt of expansion and contraction. Houston’s humidity swings – wet mornings, dry afternoons – stress the mortar bed joints. When the mortar cracks, water gets under the cap and rots the fastening batten. We pull the caps, re-bed them, and re-point the joints. It’s slow work, but it’s the only fix that lasts.
- Clay tile systems: broken field tiles from foot traffic. Boral clay tile is strong, but it does not tolerate being walked on by someone who doesn’t know where to step. We regularly follow other companies on roofs in the Energy Corridor where a service tech stepped mid-span on a tile and cracked three in a row. Our crews walk the pan, not the crown, and we replace broken tiles with matched units, keeping a small salvage stock from tear-offs.
- Underlayment failure beneath tile: the problem consumers never see until the ceiling stains. Boral tile roofs in Houston can last 40 or 50 years, but the underlayment beneath them typically lasts 20 to 25. When the underlayment fails, water gets under the tile and finds the decking. This is the most expensive Boral repair we do, because fixing it requires lifting tile, replacing underlayment, and re-setting the tile. The fix is a partial lift-and-relay, not a patch.
Styles & brands we work with






Our Boral Roofing Company Process
- 1
The call. You reach a live person at (940) 461-8481. No voicemail tree. We schedule a site visit inside a two-hour window and our technician arrives in uniform.
- 2
The roof read. We walk the entire roof, not just the area that’s leaking. Travis Oakley teaches every tech to read a roof the same way: find the cause, not just the symptom. We photograph what we see, mark the damage, and document what’s in good shape.
- 3
The written price. Before any work starts, you get a line-item written price. The number on that page is the number you pay. No change orders, no door-step add-ons. That’s the Garrison Standard.
- 4
The parts decision. We use OEM Boral components when they’re available and when the age of the roof makes matching feasible. If an aftermarket or salvaged unit matches better than a new-run batch, we tell you why and let you decide. We never hide a parts substitution.
- 5
The repair. We do the work with hand tools where possible to avoid impact damage to surrounding tile. Flashing gets replaced, not caulked over. Fasteners are checked for corrosion – a real issue near Galveston Bay and the Ship Channel.
- 6
The test and the guarantee. We water-test the repair, walk the area with you, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it fails within a year, we come back free.

Why Houston Homeowners Call Brennan Roofing Co Houston for Boral Work
Boral is a specific system, and most roofers treat it like any other tile job. We don’t. We know where Stealth shakes crack, how Saxony ages in Houston humidity, and why Boral concrete tile caps fail at the mortar before the tile itself gives out.
Beyond Boral, we install and service GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, so we’re not tied to one manufacturer’s answer for every problem. The Garrison Standard applies to every Boral job we do: background-checked, uniformed technicians on your roof, a written price before work begins, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair doesn’t hold, we come back. For free. Within a full year.
Travis Oakley put it best: “A roof either keeps water out or it doesn’t – everything else is details.”
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. We keep a selective salvage stock from local tear-offs and we match by color batch and weathering. If your tile line has been discontinued or the batch color shift is significant, we’ll tell you before installing, not after. Call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll assess the match on site for free.
Boral’s warranty covers product defects, not installation workmanship. As an independent Boral service provider, we are not a manufacturer-authorized agent, and repairs we do carry our own written 365-Day Done Right Promise, not a Boral warranty extension. We recommend checking your original Boral paperwork to understand what’s still in force.
Sometimes, yes. Small replacements like a cracked tile or a lifted ridge cap can usually be done on the first visit. Larger jobs, like underlayment replacement, require scheduling. We’ll give you a written timeline with the written price, so you know both before anything starts.
If the tile itself is intact and the underlayment has not failed, repair is the right call. If the underlayment has reached the end of its service life, replacement or a full lift-and-relay is overdue, even if the tile looks fine from the street. We won’t push replacement on a roof that has years left, and we won’t patch a roof that needs to come off.
Every Boral repair we do is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair fails within one full year, we return and make it right at no charge. In writing. No fine print, no pro-rated material credit. That’s the whole point of the Garrison Standard.
