Boral Roof Replacement in San Antonio: What to Know First
Boral roof replacement in San Antonio typically runs $9,800 to $18,500 for a full tear-off and re-roof on a 1,800 to 2,200 square foot home, with most jobs finished in 3 to 5 working days once materials land. We’re an independent Boral service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized installer, which means we make parts and material decisions based on what actually performs on San Antonio roofs, not what a brand rep wants us to push. If you own a Boral roof that’s near the end of its life, call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
This page is for San Antonio homeowners who already have Boral roofing products and need straight answers about replacement: what fails, what it costs, and what a proper Boral re-roof looks like from the first call to the final inspection. Every price we quote is the price on the invoice. No exceptions.
How Boral Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Boral Concrete Barrel Tile – spalling and surface erosion. San Antonio’s freeze-thaw cycles are rough on concrete tile. Water seeps into microscopic pores, freezes overnight in January, and the surface starts flaking off in thin sheets. We see it most on north-facing slopes in Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. The fix is a full replacement with new underlayment beneath, because once spalling starts, the tile is done and the underlayment underneath is usually compromised too.
- Boral CedarLite Synthetic Shake – UV brittleness at the nail line. CedarLite looks like wood shake but it’s a polymer composite, and after 12 to 15 years of direct Texas sun, the area around the fastener holes gets brittle. Wind gusts from spring thunderstorms lift the shake, the nail holes crack, and you lose shingles in clusters. We replace these with a full tear-off because patching one section just moves the failure point down the roof.
- Boral SteelStone Coated Steel Shingle – granule loss at overlap seams. SteelStone is a coated steel shingle with a stone granule surface. On San Antonio roofs with low slope, water backs up at the overlap seams during heavy downpours and slowly scrubs the granules off. Once the coating is gone, the steel underneath starts rusting at the seam. We see this on ranch-style homes in Stone Oak and the northeast side. Replacement means a full re-roof, and we don’t patch SteelStone because the seams are a systemic issue, not a spot repair.
- Boral Saxony Slate – broken corners from hail and falling branches. Saxony is a fiber-reinforced cement slate. It’s tough, but San Antonio hail storms crack the corners where the slate overhangs the course below. Live oaks are the other culprit: a branch drops and takes out a row. Individual slate replacement is possible if the underlayment is still sound, but after 15 to 20 years the underlayment is the real problem, not the slates themselves. We’ll tell you which it is before you spend a dime.
- Boral Villa Tile – underlayment failure before tile failure. Villa Tile is a flat-profile concrete tile, and here’s the thing most San Antonio homeowners don’t know: the tile itself usually outlives the underlayment by a decade. We strip the tile and find the original felt disintegrating, which means water has been hitting the decking for years while the tile looked fine from the street. A proper Boral tile replacement addresses both layers. You don’t want your tile to outlive what’s underneath it.
Styles & brands we work with





Our Boral Roof Replacement Process
- 1
The roof assessment. We walk the roof, check the decking condition beneath the existing Boral material, and document everything with photos. You get a written report of what we find, not a verbal summary.
- 2
The price before the work. We give you a written, line-item price for the full replacement. If we find hidden damage after tear-off, we show you photos and give you a written change order before touching anything else. The original number doesn’t balloon because we found a “surprise.”
- 3
Parts and materials decision. We source Boral replacement materials where the roof warrants it, and we’ll tell you honestly when a quality aftermarket product matches or beats the OEM spec for San Antonio’s climate. We install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed as well, so you’re never locked into one brand decision.
- 4
The tear-off and decking check. We strip the old Boral material, inspect the decking board by board, and replace any damaged or rotted sections before the new underlayment goes down.
- 5
Installation and the test. New underlayment, new Boral tile or shingle per the product’s installation requirements, and a full water test on the critical valleys and penetrations before we call the job done.
- 6
Documentation and the guarantee. Before-and-after photos, a digital invoice sent by text, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if any repair fails within 365 days, we correct it at no charge. No negotiation, no runaround.
What Boral Roof Replacement Costs in San Antonio
Here’s what we actually see on San Antonio Boral jobs, based on the scope we quote every week:
- Full Boral concrete tile tear-off and re-roof (1,800 – 2,200 sq ft): $8,500 – $18,500, depending on tile profile and underlayment spec. Villa Tile runs on the lower end; barrel tile pushes higher.
- Boral CedarLite synthetic shake replacement (1,800 – 2,200 sq ft): $9,000 – $15,500. Synthetic shake is labor-intensive because of the individual shingle layout.
- Boral SteelStone coated steel shingle replacement (1,800 – 2,200 sq ft): $10,500 – $17,000. Steel prices move more than tile, so material cost swings show up in the quote.
- Decking replacement per sheet (if rot is found after tear-off): $80 – $110 per 4×8 sheet, and we’ll show you the rot in photos before we replace a single board.
What moves the price: roof pitch (steep roofs cost more to work safely), decking condition (25% of San Antonio Boral tear-offs need some decking replacement), and the tile profile you’re replacing. Call (361) 209-8857 for an exact quote. Estimates are free and the number we give you is the number you’ll pay.

FAQs
No. We’re an independent Boral service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized installer. That means we make material decisions based on what holds up on San Antonio roofs, not what a manufacturer’s program tells us to install. You get the right product for your roof, not the product that earns us a dealer incentive.
Yes, we source genuine Boral tile and shingle products when the roof calls for them. We’ll also tell you when a quality aftermarket material with better San Antonio-specific performance is a smarter choice for your budget. You make the call with real information. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll walk you through the options for your specific roof.
It can, but only if there’s hidden damage we couldn’t see before tear-off, like rotted decking or failed underlayment. We document everything with photos and give you a written change order before we proceed. The original price doesn’t balloon because we found something. If there’s no hidden damage, the written price holds. Every promise we make goes in writing – because a handshake doesn’t keep water out.
Most full Boral tile re-roofs take 3 to 5 working days once materials arrive. CedarLite and SteelStone jobs run on the tighter end of that range. Weather is the wildcard in San Antonio, especially April and May, but we schedule with a live arrival time you can track, so you’re never waiting on a four-hour window.
If the tile or shingle is failing but the underlayment is still sound, a targeted repair makes sense and we’ll tell you that. If the underlayment is gone or the decking is rotting, repair becomes a band-aid. We show you photos of the actual condition and give you a written price for both paths. The decision is yours, with the facts on the table. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll assess your roof and give you real numbers.
