This page is for Boral homeowners in Riverside who need honest answers about repair costs, part availability, and what “fixed” actually means. It’s written by Greg Holloway, our owner, who came up through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has been working on Southern California roofs for close to three decades. If your Boral roof is giving you trouble, we’ll tell you what it costs and what we’ll do, in plain English.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Cracked or broken Boral concrete tile from Riverside heat cycling. Boral’s concrete tile lines, including the Mission and Flat profiles found on many Riverside homes, expand and contract through our hot days and cool nights. Over time, hairline cracks develop at the tile corners, and those cracks channel water straight to the underlayment below. The fix isn’t caulking the crack. It’s replacing the tile with a profile-matched unit from Boral or a matching aftermarket equivalent, and checking the underlayment underneath for damage caused by the slow leak.
• Failed Boral flashing at sidewalls and chimneys. Most Boral roof leaks in Riverside aren’t the tile failing at all. They’re the metal flashing at the roof-to-wall transition. Riverside’s clay and concrete tile roofs go decades between replacements, but the flashing behind them doesn’t always last that long. We pull tiles carefully, replace the stepped flashing, re-season the area, and reset the tiles exactly as they were laid. On Boral work, the key is keeping the tile overlap consistent so water channels the way the original design intended.
• Broken Boral hip and ridge tile caps. The ridge and hip caps on Boral roofs take the brunt of wind and direct sun. In Riverside neighborhoods like Canyon Crest and Wood Streets, we see cracked ridge caps after heavy Santa Ana wind events. A broken ridge cap lets rain drip straight down into the attic, often showing up as a water stain on the ceiling near an exterior wall. We replace caps with matching Boral units and fresh mortar, or for certain Boral lines, a modern dry-fix adhesive system that doesn’t crack the way old mortar does.
• Saturated or rotted felt underlayment beneath Boral concrete tile. Boral tile roofs are heavy. Riverside’s occasional hard rainstorms, followed by weeks of dry heat, can mask a slow underlayment failure until the decking starts to show water damage at the tile gaps. If your Boral roof is over twenty years old and you’re seeing stains, our first move is to lift a few tiles and inspect the felt or synthetic underlayment. Replacing underlayment on a Boral roof means removing tiles, re-papering the section, and reinstalling the same tiles if they’re in good shape, then sealing the area back up.
• Boral composite and shake profile granule loss or curling. Boral’s composite roof lines, including the CedarLite and Villa styles, occasionally show granule loss or cupping at the edges in Riverside’s summer heat. When that happens, water pools at the low spots and works under the shingle. We inspect the affected courses, replace the failed units, and check the slope beneath them for ponding issues. These jobs are almost always a same-day repair if we catch the damage early.

Our Boral Roof Repair Process

Here’s what a Boral repair with us looks like from the first call to the final walkaround:

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. That’s us, 24 hours a day. We listen, ask a few questions about what you’re seeing, and schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   One of our techs inspects the roof. Greg Holloway or one of our background-checked, uniformed techs arrives in the window we gave you. We check the tiles, the flashing, the underlayment, and the decking from both the roof and the attic where possible.
3. 3
   You get the written price before anything moves. We tell you exactly what we found and exactly what it costs to fix it. No bait and switch, no “we found more damage once we got up there, surprise.” If the scope changes mid-repair, we stop and get your approval before continuing.
4. 4
   We match the parts. For Boral profiles we stock or can source OEM or high-quality aftermarket tiles and caps that match in profile, color, and thickness. If a tile is discontinued, we discuss the closest match and get your sign-off before installing it.
5. 5
   The repair, the test, and the guarantee. We make the repair, test it with water where the fix allows it, and hand you a written guarantee before the crew leaves. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return and correct it at no charge, under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
6. 6
   We leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way. Old tiles, broken caps, and loose nails go with us. You shouldn’t have to sweep your own driveway after we leave.

What Boral Roof Repair Costs in Riverside

Most Boral roof repairs in Riverside fall between $350 and $1,450. A single cracked concrete tile replacement is at the low end, usually $350 to $600, assuming we can match the tile and no underlayment damage. Flashing repairs at a chimney or sidewall run $500 to $1,000 depending on how many tiles have to be pulled and reset. A ridge cap patch with matching Boral caps and new mortar is typically $450 to $800. If we find underlayment failure under the Boral tile, the section re-paper and tile reset starts around $1,200 and goes up with the size of the affected area and how much decking needs replacing.

What moves the price is access, the condition of the underlayment, and whether your Boral profile is still in production. High-pitch roofs in neighborhoods like Hawarden Hills take longer and cost more. Single-story homes in the Wood Streets are faster and cheaper. Call (562) 315-0297 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, always.

Why Riverside Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Riverside for Boral Work

Riverside has no shortage of roofers who will “take a look.” What’s harder to find is a company that puts the Boral-specific price in writing, shows up on the day it said it would, and stands behind the repair with a document instead of a promise. That’s what we do. Greg Holloway has been on roofs across Southern California for close to thirty years and working in Riverside for a good stretch of that, from tile repairs near the Mission Inn to full re-roofs out in Hawarden Hills. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, so you always know who’s on your roof. And if the Boral part you need isn’t available in a realistic timeframe, we work with material options from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed among others, so we can offer you a quality-based alternative rather than leaving you waiting on a discontinued tile. We tell you the price before we touch your roof. That’s just how it should work.
