We’re an independent Boral service provider, which means we repair Boral’s tile and composite lines with OEM parts where they matter and honest advice where they don’t. This page is for Thousand Oaks homeowners with a Boral roof showing cracked tiles, shifted sections, or water staining on a ceiling.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Boral roofing products are built differently from standard asphalt shingles, and they fail differently too. Here’s what we actually see on Thousand Oaks homes, line by line.
- Boral CedarLite composite shakes: nail-slot tearing at the corners. CedarLite shakes are a composite product, and in Thousand Oaks heat they expand and contract more than real cedar ever did. The factory nail slots at the top corners are the weak point. We see shakes that crack upward from the slot, especially on west-facing slopes that bake in afternoon sun. The fix is lifting the damaged shake, replacing it, and checking the two below it for hairline stress cracks before they turn into leaks.
- Boral CountryFlat and Roma tile: ridge cap mortar failing in the Santa Ana cycle. Boral’s flat-profile and Mediterranean tiles on Thousand Oaks homes often sit under mortar-set ridge caps. Year after year of hot, dry Santa Ana winds followed by sudden winter rain expands the mortar, then contracts it, until it crumbles out of the gap. Water gets under the cap and travels along the underlayment. We remove the old mortar, reset the caps, and where the roof design allows it we switch to a flexible ridge system that moves with the tile instead of fighting it.
- Boral Solana barrel tile: broken pan sections from foot traffic. Solana is a two-piece barrel design, and the pans are shallower than they look. A single misstep by a previous contractor, a satellite installer, or a tree trimmer cracks them. The crack usually runs lengthwise, and because it’s invisible from the ground, it can quietly feed water for months before a homeowner notices a stain. We map the broken pans, source matching replacements, and our techs walk the roof using pads and the tile’s own structural ribs, not the vulnerable pan centers.
- Boral concrete tile in the Lang Ranch hills: thermal cycling cracks. In Lang Ranch and the hill neighborhoods around Thousand Oaks, we see concrete Boral tile crack clean through the barrel, not at an impact point. The daily heat-cool cycle off the exposed slopes does that, especially on dark tile colors that absorb more late-day sun. The tile’s top half can crack through while the bottom stays intact. That’s a tile replacement job, and it’s also a chance for us to inspect the underlayment beneath the crack zone, which is often the actual source of the leak.
- Boral shingle product lines: granule loss and sealant separation at the bond line. Boral’s asphalt shingle products in Thousand Oaks hold up well, but the sealant strip between courses breaks down faster here than in coastal climates. Granules loosen, the shingle tabs lift slightly, and wind-driven rain gets a starting point. We spot this during routine leak investigations and reseal or shingle-replace before the decking takes on water.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Boral Roof Repair Process
- 1
You call (805) 309-3314. A live person answers. We ask what you’re seeing: stains, missing tile, granules in the gutter. We schedule a visit and send you the name and photo of the technician who will knock on your door.
- 2
We arrive badged and identified. Our tech shows a photo ID at the door, wearing a clean, marked uniform. You know who’s on your property before they step onto it.
- 3
We diagnose on the roof, photo in hand. We take pictures of the damaged Boral tile or shake, then show you exactly what we found and explain it in plain language before quoting a dollar amount. No mystery work. No “we’ll tell you after.”
- 4
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For Boral tile where color and profile matching matter, we source OEM or profile-matched replacements. For hidden components like underlayment or flashing, we use materials that meet or exceed the original spec, and we explain the trade-off honestly before we buy anything.
- 5
We do the repair and test it. Repair work is done to manufacturer repair detail, then we water-test the area. If it leaks after we leave, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers a free second visit.
- 6
You get a written guarantee. Every Boral repair includes our written warranty. We say 365 days because that’s the actual number, not a vague promise.

- CedarLite or composite shake replacement (isolated section, 3 to 5 shakes): $350 to $600.
- Valley flashing repair or replacement on a Boral roof: $450 to $900, depending on valley length and whether underlayment needs to be opened up.

- Vent boot or pipe collar replacement on a Boral tile roof: $300 to $550.
- Roof deck patch beneath cracked Boral tile: $400 to $850, including tile removal and reset.
What moves the price is access (steep or cut-up roofs cost more in labor), the color match on discontinued Boral lines, and whether decking or underlayment was damaged. We write every estimate down before work starts, and that number doesn’t change on install day. Call (805) 309-3314 for a free estimate and a written price you can hold us to.
Why Thousand Oaks Homeowners Call Mercer Roofing Co Thousand Oaks for Boral Work
We’re local to Thousand Oaks, and we’ve worked Boral roofs from Newbury Park to the Conejo Valley hills, including Lang Ranch, where Grant Whitlock has seen tile roofs take a beating from the thermal cycling off the hillsides. Our techs know which Boral profiles are a pain to color-match and which ones a homeowner can spot from the ground. When a Boral tile breaks, we bring the same standard of proof and written pricing we’d bring to a full roof replacement.
Because we also work with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, we’ll tell you straight if a Boral repair makes sense or if the deck’s condition points toward a broader replacement. That’s not upselling. That’s the conversation you’d want from a roofer who’s seen enough Thousand Oaks decks to know. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Boral repair we do, in writing, every time. And we never send a stranger to your door: every tech is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives with a photo ID badge, with their name and photo sent to you before they knock.
FAQs
As an independent Boral service provider, we follow manufacturer standard repair practices so warranty coverage isn’t affected unnecessarily. Boral warranties generally cover the product itself, not the labor or any consequential damage, so the typical warranty question is about the tile, not the repair. When we replace a Boral tile or shake, we use the matching piece and the correct fastening method. If you’re concerned about your specific warranty, we can walk you through the fine print before we do the work.
Most of the time, yes. Boral’s profile lines have color families that remain in production or are available through salvage and specialty suppliers. For older Thousand Oaks homes with faded or discontinued colors, we can often blend new pieces with staged neighbors so the repair isn’t obvious from the ground. If a perfect match isn’t possible, we’ll tell you before ordering parts and give you options instead of surprises.
When profile match, color, and warranty are at stake, we use OEM Boral tile and components. For internal items like underlayment, flashing, and fasteners, we use high-grade aftermarket materials that meet or exceed what the original Boral installation called for. It’s a practical line: OEM where the finished look and form matter, quality third-party where function is all that matters. Either way, the parts and their source are listed on your written estimate before we buy.
For smaller repairs like a single broken tile or a vent boot replacement, we can often get the repair done the same visit once we’re on the roof and have the parts on the truck. For larger jobs needing special-order tile, the wait on parts is usually two to five business days. We’ll tell you the timeline at the estimate, so there are no promises made that the supply chain can’t keep.
A properly executed Boral tile or shake replacement should last as long as the surrounding roof system, provided the underlayment beneath it wasn’t compromised. Our repair work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair fails within a year, we make it right, including a free second visit. Call (805) 309-3314 and we’ll give you a free estimate and a written repair guarantee before we start.
Grant Whitlock will tell you it straight: “A roof should protect you quietly – if you’re thinking about it, something’s wrong.” If you’re thinking about your Boral roof, call us and we’ll show you exactly what we found, in writing, before we touch a single tile.
