Boral Shingle Repair Nationwide

Boral Shingle Repair: The Orlando Owner’s Guide

We stock and install Boral-compatible shingle repair materials across Orlando, with most repairs priced between $385 and $1,150 installed. Same-day or next-day service is typical for standard shingle work, depending on weather and how many shingles need replacing. Boral shingles are concrete-based, not asphalt, so when one cracks or loosens, the repair approach is different from what most Orlando roofing crews are used to. You’ll usually notice the damage three ways: a cracked shingle edge you can see from the ground, granules of concrete grit collecting in your gutters, or a small leak that shows up on the ceiling after one of our summer downpours. Grant Whitlock has been fixing these in Orlando long enough to know that a Boral roof left with even one broken shingle invites water underneath the neighboring tiles. We match the exact profile and color, install the replacement, and put the price in writing before any work begins.

Which Boral Models This Applies To

Boral’s concrete and clay tile lines share repair characteristics, but the specific series matters. The main lines we work with are Boral’s Concrete Flat Tile, Concrete Low Profile Tile, Concrete High Profile Tile, and the Boral Steel line that’s less common in Orlando but shows up occasionally on newer builds. Each has a different locking profile and weather lap. The compatibility gotcha to watch: Boral’s flat and low-profile tiles may look similar from the ground, but the interlocking edges measure differently. A low-profile tile runs roughly 13-1/4 inches wide, while flat tiles typically come in at 11-1/2 inches. Using the wrong width leaves a visible seam and a weak point for wind-driven rain. To identify what you have, check the underside of a loose tile for the Boral stamp, or look at your original roofing paperwork. If that’s not available, we’ll match the tile with physical measurement on site.

On the OEM-versus-aftermarket question: Boral tiles are no longer manufactured for the U.S. residential market the way they once were, which means exact OEM replacements are getting scarce. We work with reclaimed and new-old-stock Boral tiles when they’re available. When they’re not, we source concrete tiles from manufacturers who produce profile-matched equivalents. The critical part is matching the color blend and profile depth, which we verify in person before quoting. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando is an independent service provider, not affiliated with Boral. That independence means we repair what’s actually on your roof, not what a brand rep wants to sell you.

Signs Your Boral Shingle Repair Is Failing

• Visible cracked or chipped tile edges. Boral concrete tiles are dense, but a falling branch from an Orlando oak or a hailstorm can crack an edge. One cracked tile lets water hit the underlayment directly, and Florida sun degrades exposed underlayment faster than people expect.
• Concrete grit in the gutters. If you’re finding coarse grey or terracotta grit in your downspouts, that’s tile surface erosion. Some erosion is normal over 15-plus years; a sudden increase means the tile’s protective layer is breaking down and the tile is absorbing water.
• Loose or displaced tiles after a storm. Wind can lift Boral tiles if the fasteners have worked loose. In neighborhoods like Lake Nona where afternoon storms come with strong gusts, a single lifted tile can create a cascade, letting water travel under the entire row.
• Dark, damp streaks on the tile surface. If a section of your Boral roof stays darker after rain, water is saturating rather than shedding off. That means the tile’s seal layer is compromised or the tiles are no longer seating flush against each other.
• Water stains on the ceiling or walls. By the time water shows up inside, the tile issue has been active for a while. Water from a broken Boral tile often travels along the underlayment before it finds a seam to drip through, so the interior stain may not be directly below the damaged tile.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For Orlando homeowners, Boral shingle repair typically runs $385 to $1,150 installed. A small repair of one to three tiles in an easy-access area lands near the low end. If we’re replacing a larger section, working around roof penetrations like vents or skylights, or repairing underlayment beneath the tiles, the price moves toward the high end. If decking is damaged, that changes the quote.

Every price includes the replacement tiles, matching color and profile, fasteners, any underlayment patch needed, and full installation. You’ll see the line-item price in writing before we start. No add-ons when the invoice comes, no change orders unless you approve them in writing. The work carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair isn’t right within a year, Mercer Roofing makes it right, and a second visit is free if the repair fails.

Here’s how that breaks down:

• 1-3 tiles, easy access: $385 – $525
• 4-10 tiles or medium roof pitch: $525 – $800
• Underlayment patch plus tile replacement: $700 – $1,150
• Matching and sourcing hard-to-find Boral tiles: included in the line-item, not billed separately

DIY or Call Us?

What you can safely do yourself: look for obvious cracked or shifted tiles from the ground with binoculars, check your gutters for grit, and mark any interior water stains. That’s useful information when you call.

What we don’t recommend doing yourself: walking a Boral roof. Concrete tiles crack under foot traffic. The tile that wasn’t broken when you climbed up will be broken by the time you climb down. Working at roof height is dangerous in dry conditions, and Orlando’s afternoon rain makes tile surfaces slick. Hiring a roofer for this isn’t a luxury. It’s how you avoid a hospital visit and a bigger repair bill.

The replacement itself requires matching profile, color, and install method to your specific Boral line. Get that wrong and the repaired area fails within months. Call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll send someone to look at the roof, take measurements, and hand you a written price for the exact repair. No pressure, no pricing surprises.
