Boral Roof Inspection in West Palm Beach: What to Know First
An independent Boral roof inspection in West Palm Beach typically takes 60 to 90 minutes on site and costs between $195 and $395 depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. We provide a written report with photos, a prioritized repair list, and a dollar figure for every item we flag, before any work starts. You get the inspection findings and the price on paper the same day, so there’s no waiting game and no surprise number at the door.
This page is for West Palm Beach homeowners who own a Boral roof, whether it’s concrete tile, clay tile, or a Boral stone-coated steel system, and want to know what’s actually happening up there. A Boral roof isn’t the same animal as an asphalt shingle roof, and the inspection shouldn’t be either. Travis Oakley and our crew have walked hundreds of Boral roofs in West Palm Beach, from the barrel-tile homes off Flagler Drive to the flat-tile builds in Northwood Hills. Call (728) 203-3066 and we’ll schedule the inspection and give you a straight answer.
Key Takeaways
- Independent Boral roof inspection in West Palm Beach runs $195 to $395, with a written report and photos included.
- Boral concrete and clay tile fail differently from shingles: the tile often looks fine while the underlayment beneath it is failing.
- We’re an independent Boral service provider. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Boral, which means we repair based on what’s best for your roof, not a manufacturer script.
- Every inspection ends with a written price for repairs before any work begins, backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Boral concrete tile (Boral Savannah, Boral Barcelona profiles) – underlayment failure beneath intact tile. The tile itself can last 50 years, but the underlayment underneath it typically dies after 20 to 25 years in West Palm Beach heat and humidity. The tile looks fine from the ground, but water is getting through and rotting the decking. Our fix: we lift tiles in targeted sections, replace the underlayment and damaged decking, reset the tile, and document everything with photos so you see what we saw.
- Boral clay tile – broken corners and hairline cracks from foot traffic. Clay tile is tough, but it doesn’t forgive a careless foot. We regularly find cracked tiles on West Palm Beach roofs where a cable installer or a previous roofer walked the valleys wrong. A cracked tile isn’t just cosmetic; it channels water straight onto the underlayment. We replace the damaged tile with matching profile and color, and we walk the roof using proper tile-roof techniques so we don’t create the problem we’re there to find.
- Boral stone-coated steel (Boral Smile Series, Boral Equinox) – flashing failures at penetrations. This is the one no one tells you about. The panels hold up, but the flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights on Boral stone-coated steel roofs in West Palm Beach fails far sooner than the panels do. Salt air and afternoon thunderstorms work the sealant loose. We inspect every penetration with a moisture meter and re-flash or re-seal as needed, using materials matched to the system.
- Boral flat/low-profile tile – valley channel blockage from oak leaves and pine debris. West Palm Beach has no shortage of live oaks and slash pines, and their debris collects in the valley channels of low-profile Boral tile. Blocked valleys force water sideways under the tile, which is how you get ceiling stains even though the tile looks fine. Our inspections clear valley channels as part of the service and flag any channel design that’s prone to repeat clogging.
- Tile-to-wall transitions on Boral roofs – missing or deteriorated step flashing. Boral tile is heavy and stiff, which means the wall flashing takes more movement stress than it would on a shingle roof. We find step flashing that’s separated from the wall or was never installed to begin with on a surprising number of West Palm Beach Boral roofs, especially on older Spanish-style homes. We remove the tile, install or replace the step flashing, and reset the tile to manufacturer spec.
Our Boral Roof Inspection Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers at (728) 203-3066, day or night. You get a two-hour arrival window, and our technician shows up inside it, in uniform and background-checked.
- 2
Ground-level assessment. We walk the perimeter and document visible tile damage, broken edges, and uneven lines. We’re already looking for what to check on the roof.
- 3
On-roof inspection. We walk every section safely, using tile-roof techniques and fall protection. We check valleys, flashings, penetrations, ridge lines, and field tile. We look for cracked, loose, or spent tile and probe suspect underlayment.
- 4
Moisture and substrate review. We use our moisture meter on suspect areas and visually inspect the underlayment and decking wherever access allows. On old Boral roofs, this is where we find the dollars hiding.
- 5
Written findings and a written price. Every issue goes into the report with a photo and a plain-English explanation. Then we price every item on paper, before any work starts. No verbal numbers, no door-day renegotiation.
- 6
Repair or monitor. You decide what to do, on your timeline. If you repair with us, the work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: in writing, for one full year, with a free return visit if it fails.

- Tile replacement (concrete or clay, per tile): $25 to $60 per tile installed, including matching tile and proper setting.
- Underlayment repair (sectional, not full re-roof): $800 to $2,200 depending on square footage and decking condition.

- Valley channel clearing and minor tune-up during inspection: $0. We do it as part of the inspection.
What moves the price: roof pitch, tile profile (flat tile is faster to reset than barrel), decking condition, and how much of the underlayment is compromised.

Call (728) 203-3066 and we’ll make sure yours gets there.
FAQs
A Boral roof inspection in West Palm Beach costs between $195 and $395, and that includes a written report with photos and a prioritized repair list with dollar figures. The exact price depends on roof size, pitch, and how many stories we’re walking. Call (728) 203-3066 for a firm inspection price for your roof.
We work in a warranty-safe manner on every Boral roof: we match tile profiles and colors, use appropriate flashing materials, and never make a repair that would give a manufacturer a reason to deny a claim. As an independent Boral service provider, we’re not bound by a manufacturer’s repair script, but we’re disciplined enough to do the work the way the system expects. Call (728) 203-3066 and we’ll walk you through what your specific roof needs.
Yes, if the issues are limited in scope and you want the work done immediately, we can complete many Boral tile replacements, flashing repairs, and valley clears during the inspection visit. Larger underlayment work gets scheduled, but you’ll have the written price before we leave. The inspection is the first step; the repair is never a surprise.
A properly installed Boral concrete or clay tile roof can last 50 years or more on the tile itself, but the underlayment underneath usually needs replacement after 20 to 25 years in West Palm Beach’s heat, humidity, and salt air. Boral stone-coated steel panels also carry long lifespans, but the flashings at penetrations need attention far sooner. An inspection tells you which clock is running on your roof.
Yes. Most of the Boral inspections we do in West Palm Beach are on roofs installed by other companies, often years before the current homeowner bought the house. We don’t care who put it on; we care whether it’s still doing its job. Call (728) 203-3066 to schedule your inspection.
