• Every Boral job gets a written price before work starts and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Boral makes some of the toughest roofing tile in the business. The tile usually isn’t the problem. What we find in Fresno, over and over, is that what’s under the tile gave out first. Here’s what actually happens on Boral roofs in this climate and what we do about it:

• Worn-out underlayment on Boral concrete tile (Boral Tile, Sahara, Barcelona, and Villa series). The tile can last 50 years, but the underlayment underneath often breaks down at year 20 to 25. Fresno’s summer heat hardens it, then winter rain finds it. By the time water shows up on a ceiling, the underlayment is already shot in multiple places. We lift the tile in the affected section, replace the underlayment with a high-grade synthetic rated for tile roofs, and re-set the original tile. The tile goes back on exactly as it came off.
• Cracked Boral flat tile from foot traffic. Boral tile is strong, but it’s not a walkway. Repositioning a satellite dish, hanging Christmas lights, or a past roofer who didn’t use step boards cracks tile in a pattern we see all over Fresno neighborhoods like Woodward Park and Sunnyside. A single cracked tile lets water sit on the underlayment and soak through over time. We replace cracked or broken tile with matching Boral tile in the same profile and color blend, and we use foam-backed tile repair pads where the profile allows, so the repair seals tight and the tile still breathes.
• Failed flashing at Boral roof-to-wall and chimney transitions. This is the most common leak point on any tile roof, and Boral roofs are no exception. In older Fresno homes, the step flashing behind the tile was often installed without proper kick-out at the bottom. The water runs down the wall, gets behind the flashing, and rots the fascia and sheathing. We pull the tile at the transition, replace the step and counter-flashing, and install kick-out flashing at the termination so water exits the roof instead of the wall.
• Bird and rodent access at Boral barrel tile eaves. Boral Mission and Barrel tile profiles leave open channels at the eave and ridge if the original install didn’t include bird stop or mortar closure. Pigeons love it. They nest in the channels, block drainage, and their droppings accelerate tile and flashing corrosion. We install closure material at eaves and ridges, then check the entire run for lifted or shifted tile. It’s a small detail that keeps the roof dry and the birds out.
• Valley washout on Boral stone-coated steel (Boral steel roofing, specific profile line). Boral’s stone-coated steel products hold up well in Fresno, but valleys collect everything: dust, leaves, pigeon debris, tree litter from all those valley oaks. When the valley clogs, water backs up under the metal panels and rots the decking from the top down. We clear the valley, repair the decking if needed, and re-secure the valley flashing with proper fastener spacing and sealant. On steel, the job is only as good as the valley detail.

Our Boral Roofing Company Process

Here’s how a Boral repair or replacement goes in Fresno when you call Brennan Roofing Co Fresno:

1. 1
   You call (559) 785-2160. A live person answers. You tell us what’s happening: water spots, cracked tile, stained fascia, granules in the gutter. We schedule the visit and tell you when we’ll be there.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof, not just the spot. Our tech walks the roof with step boards, checks the attic if access is available, and takes photos. We look at the Boral tile condition, the underlayment, the flashing, and the penetration points. You get the findings in plain terms, not a sales pitch.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. We put the scope and the number on paper first. If we find hidden damage once the tile is up, we stop, take a photo, and show you exactly what changed before we spend another dollar. The price doesn’t move at the door.
4. 4
   We make the repair with the right parts. If your roof needs Boral tile, we source matching Boral tile from the same profile and color family. If the underlayment or flashing is the problem, we use quality materials rated for tile roofs: high-grade synthetic underlayment, proper step and kick-out flashing, and closure at eaves and ridges. On part decisions, we tell you the trade-off in plain English so you choose with facts, not pressure.
5. 5
   We test the repair and clean up the site. We water-test the repaired area when it’s safe and practical, inspect the surrounding tile for damage, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it. No nails in the driveway, no lunch trash in the flowerbed.
6. 6
   You get the guarantee in writing. Every Boral repair and replacement carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a repair fails within one full year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No fine print, no recalculation.
