Boral Roof Installation in San Antonio: What to Know First
Boral roof installation in San Antonio typically runs anywhere from $14,800 to $38,000 for a full replacement, depending on the profile you choose and the condition of your existing roof deck. We’re an independent Boral service provider, not a factory-authorized installer, and most of our Boral jobs wrap up in five to eight working days once materials arrive. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, and that number is the number on your final invoice.
This page is for San Antonio homeowners who either already have a Boral roof and need a section replaced, or who are weighing Boral against asphalt and want straight answers about what the product actually costs here. Call (361) 209-8857 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail loop.
How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Boral makes several tile profiles that show up all over San Antonio, from Terracotta Heights to Alamo Heights to Stone Oak. They last a long time but they fail in ways that are specific to the product line and to our climate. Here’s what we see most often.
- Boral Saxony Cedar shake: nail fatigue from thermal swing. Saxony is a polymer shake with a textured cedar look, and in San Antonio we get enough temperature swing that the fasteners work loose over a decade or so. The shake itself rarely fails, but the nails and clips do. We catch this early by walking the roof and tapping each course, then replace the hardware with newer Boral-compatible clips before the tile lifts in a wind event.
- Boral Villa Tile: underlayment breakdown long before the tile fails. Villa Tile is a concrete barrel profile that can easily last 50 years, but the underlayment beneath it in San Antonio heat and humidity often gives up at the 18 to 22 year mark. The tile looks fine from the ground. We find leaks by tracing water stains to rotted felt or failed peel-and-stick membrane, then rer oof the affected slope, reusing the tile where it’s sound and matching the profile where it isn’t.
- Boral Mobile Tile: wind lift at the eaves on north-facing exposures. The Mobile profile is a flat concrete tile with a clean modern look, and it’s popular in newer Hill Country builds, but its low profile makes it more susceptible to uplift along the rake edges. We add mechanical fastening at the perimeter and replace missing or cracked tiles with matching Boral Mobile units rather than patching with a generic tile that looks wrong from the street.
- Boral Select Tile: cracked units from foot traffic. Select is a concrete tile with a smooth, monochrome finish. It’s sturdy, but homeowners or cable installers walking the roof put point loads on the middle of unsupported tiles, and they crack in a pattern that looks like a spider web. We replace the cracked units and, if the homeowner wants, we’ll lay walk pads around vents and satellite dishes to prevent it from happening again.
- Boral Modena shake: color variance on patch jobs. Modena is a polymer shake with a broad color palette, and matching a five-year-old roof from stock can be tricky because the factory batches shift slightly. When we patch a Modena roof in San Antonio, we pull tiles from a shaded slope and install the fresh tiles there, then put the aged tile where it’s visible, so the color step doesn’t jump out at you from the curb.

Our Boral Roof Installation Process
Here’s how a Boral job runs at Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio, from the first call to the last nail.
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, takes your address, and sets a window. You get a trackable arrival time before the tech pulls into your driveway, the way the Relay Standard requires.
- 2
On-site diagnostic. We walk every slope, check the tile condition, inspect the underlayment, and photograph what we find. If a repair is possible, we tell you. If a full install is the right call, we tell you that too, and we explain why in plain English.
- 3
Written price. Before any work starts, you get a line-item quote. That’s the price. No change orders unless we find hidden deck damage and you approve it in writing first.
- 4
Material decision. We discuss OEM Boral tiles versus quality aftermarket profiles and what each means for your warranty and your curb appeal. On most San Antonio homes, matching the existing Boral profile is the right call, and we’ll tell you when it isn’t.
- 5
Installation. We remove the old roof, replace the underlayment, install the tile per Boral’s fastening schedule, and flash every penetration, which is the metal that seals joints around chimneys and vents.
- 6
Cleanup, documentation, guarantee. We sweep every tile, walk the roof ourselves, photograph the finished job from the ridge to the gutters, and send you a digital invoice by text. Your repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

AfterWhat Boral Roof Installation Costs in San Antonio
Here’s what we actually see in San Antonio for Boral work, not the national averages you’ll read on a manufacturer site.
- Full Boral concrete tile replacement (Villa Tile, Select, Mobile): $16 – $22 per square foot installed. A typical 2,000-square-foot roof runs $32,000 – $44,000, including tear-off, underlayment, and flashing.
- Full Boral polymer shake replacement (Saxony, Modena): $13 – $18 per square foot installed. Weight and labor are lower than concrete, so a standard San Antonio home lands around $26,000 – $36,000.
- Isolated Boral tile repairs: $450 – $1,100, depending on how many tiles and how steep the slope. This covers a handful of cracked or missing units and the labor to match them.
- Partial rer oof of a single slope: $4,500 – $9,500, including underlayment replacement and tile reset.
What moves the price: slope, height, the condition of the deck, and whether you have a two-story or a steep cut-up roof with lots of valleys and penetrations. Flashing around a chimney adds too. We’ll give you a firm number before any work starts. Call (361) 209-8857 for a free estimate.
Why San Antonio Homeowners Call Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio for Boral Work
The reason most of our Boral customers stick with us is simple to state and harder to find: a written price that doesn’t change, a live arrival time you can track, and before-and-after photos so you don’t have to climb a ladder to see what you paid for. Every promise we make goes in writing, because a handshake doesn’t keep water out.
Dylan Pace learned the trade in Los Angeles, starting in construction technology at LATTC and spending two decades on steep-slope shingle, low-slope modified bitumen, and standing-seam metal before his crew took on reroof work across San Antonio, including up in the Alamo Heights corridor. He’s the one who insists on the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a repair we made fails within a year, we come back at no charge. No negotiation, no runaround. We also work with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so if Boral isn’t the right material for your roof or your budget, we’ve got other manufacturer-backed options that don’t force you into a single brand’s price book.
FAQs
Installing Boral tile correctly does not void the material warranty. What voids a Boral warranty is improper fastening, using non-Boral components where the system calls for their parts, or walking the finished roof and cracking tiles. We follow Boral’s published fastening schedule, and we document the install with photos so you’ve got a record if a warranty question ever comes up. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll walk you through what your specific Boral profile requires.
Most Boral roof installations in San Antonio take five to eight working days from tear-off to final inspection, assuming the deck is sound. If we find rotted decking under the old roof, that can add a day or two, and you’ll approve the extra cost in writing before we proceed. The tile itself goes down faster than you’d think, but the underlayment work is what eats the clock, and we don’t rush that.
Usually yes, we can match Boral tile on a partial repair. Polymer profiles like Saxony and Modena are easiest to source in small quantities from current stock. Concrete profiles like Villa and Select are harder, especially if the roof is ten or more years old, because factory color batches shift slightly. When a perfect match isn’t possible, we pull tile from a less visible slope and blend the new stock into the shaded areas. We’ll show you the tile before we install it, every time.
You should repair your Boral roof if the tile is mostly intact and the leaks trace to a handful of cracked units or a specific flashing failure, which usually runs under $1,100. You should replace if the underlayment is failing across multiple slopes, tile is sliding or hail-shattered across more than 30 percent of the roof, or you’re patching every season. We’ll tell you which one you actually need, even when the cheaper answer is the honest one.
