Call (855) 837-1678

This page is for Miami homeowners with a Boral roof, tile, or shingle system who need honest answers after wind, hail, or flying debris has done its work. If you’re staring at water stains spreading across your ceiling or a section of roofing that doesn’t look right since last night’s storm, call us at (855) 837-1678. A live person will answer, even at 2 a.m. during a tropical downpour.

How Boral Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Boral Saxony 900 Slate tiles crack at the nail flange after repeated thermal cycling. Miami’s afternoon downpours followed by blazing sun cause these concrete tiles to expand and contract far more than their design anticipated. The flange weakens, the nail backs out, and the next wind gust sends the tile sliding. We replace with OEM Saxony 900 flanges or sister the attachment with a Boral-approved stainless clip when the original flange is too far gone. We’ve learned to check the whole field, not just the missing tile - if one has failed, neighbors usually aren’t far behind.
• Boral Barcelona and Villa concrete tiles lose their underlayment seal at the headlap after 18-22 years in Miami’s UV exposure. The tiles themselves often look fine from the street, but water gets behind them and rots the deck. During storm damage calls, we lift a sample tile at the ridge and check the felt condition. If it’s powdery, we’re looking at a partial recover or full replacement, not just spot repairs. We document this with photos so you can show your adjuster why the fix is deeper than it appears.
• Boral Smog-Eating Tile surfaces degrade unevenly, creating hydrophilic patches that hold water. The titanium dioxide coating breaks down faster on south-facing pitches in Miami, and that retained water accelerates sub-tile deterioration. After a storm, these patches mask underlying damage. We clean test areas with a low-pressure wash and inspect the substrate - we’ve found saturated decking that looked perfectly sound from above.
• Boral Eagle Bel Air lightweight tiles lift at the nose in sustained winds over 55 mph. The reduced weight that makes them attractive for older Miami homes with marginal structural capacity becomes a liability in a tropical storm. We reinstall with Boral’s specified fastening pattern, never the generic screw spacing some crews default to. In emergency tarp situations, we anchor tarps through the tile bed, not the tile itself, to avoid compounding the damage.
• Boral roof-to-wall flashings on barrel tile installations separate at the reglet. Miami’s driving rain finds this gap every time, and it’s the leak homeowners notice first. The repair requires removing tile courses, re-securing the reglet, and reinstalling with proper pan-and-cover sequencing. We keep pre-formed Boral-compatible lead and painted steel flashings on our trucks - the aftermarket stuff from the supply house rarely matches the barrel radius close enough to seal.

Our Boral Emergency & Storm Damage Process

1. 1
   Live answer, real dispatch. When you call (855) 837-1678, a person picks up - no voicemail, no “press 1 for emergencies.” We ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and whether water is actively entering. If it’s active, we prioritize.
2. 2
   On-site inspection with photo documentation. Our technician arrives in uniform, introduces themselves, and climbs the roof. Every Boral system gets photographed: tile condition, flashing points, underlayment where visible, and any storm damage pattern. You get a copy before we leave.
3. 3
   OEM versus quality aftermarket decision. For Boral repairs, we prefer OEM components - the fit and warranty alignment matter. When Boral lead times stretch (common for discontinued Saxony colors), we source from Miami-area salvage or use custom-matched aftermarket with your written approval. We never substitute without telling you.
4. 4
   Repair execution with manufacturer-specified methods. Fastening patterns, headlap minimums, underlayment overlaps - we follow Boral’s installation manuals, not shortcuts. For storm damage, this documentation also supports your insurance claim.
5. 5
   Water test and final walk. We run a controlled water test on repaired areas when accessible, then walk the full roof for anything we might have missed. The technician explains what was done, what to watch for, and how the 90-Day Done Right Promise works.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee activation. No nails in the driveway, no tar paper scraps in the landscaping. Your invoice matches your estimate, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing - if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.
