Boral Flashing Replacement: The Fort Lauderdale Owner’s Guide
Boral flashing replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $275 – $540 installed for a standard wall or chimney flashing repair, and our trucks stock Boral-compatible flashing profiles for same-week scheduling, not a two-week wait. Most homeowners discover the failure the way Fort Lauderdale weather tends to reveal it: a water stain on the ceiling after a hard afternoon downpour, or crumbling flashing metal spotted near a chimney during gutter cleaning. Boral roofs are built to last, but the flashing is the seam where water tests the system first, and coastal humidity plus salt air accelerates that test.
We’re an independent roofing contractor in Fort Lauderdale. We install and replace flashing on Boral roofs, but we’re not affiliated with Boral directly. That independence matters because we match the failing part to the roof, not to a sales quota.
Key takeaways:
- Most Boral flashing replacements in Fort Lauderdale cost $275 – $540 installed.
- We stock common Boral-compatible flashing profiles and can order OEM-matched pieces when the roof calls for it.
- Flashing failures are usually water-intrusion issues, and in South Florida they don’t stay small.
- Every replacement carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
Which Boral Models This Applies To
Boral roof systems use flashing profiles that vary by tile profile and roof-to-wall detail, not just by “Boral” as a brand. The most common Boral installations we service in Fort Lauderdale are concrete and clay tile roofs, where flashing runs along headwalls, sidewalls, chimneys, valleys, and vent penetrations. If your roof has Boral concrete tile, the flashing is typically a stepped or continuous metal profile that follows the tile’s rise. If you have a Boral metal roof system, the flashing is often a matching-profile metal piece with a factory finish meant to blend into the panel color.
The fastest way to identify what you need is to look at the flashing itself. Most Boral flashing pieces are stamped or etched with a profile code on the underside or along the hem. A photo of that stamp, plus a measurement of the flashing width and the angle at the roof-to-wall joint, lets us confirm the right match before we schedule the truck. For owners who don’t have a stamp or the piece is too corroded, we use tile profile measurements and wall detail photos. One of the compatibility gotchas we see often is that Boral tile flashing from a 2005-era roof is not interchangeable with the current production profile, even though the tile looks identical from the ground. We order from the spec, not from a guess.
When it comes to OEM Boral flashing versus quality aftermarket equivalents: OEM is the right call on roofs under a material warranty, because substituting a non-OEM part can give the manufacturer a reason to deny a future claim. On older roofs outside warranty, a same-gauge, same-profile aftermarket flashing frequently saves $80 – $150 per piece and performs identically in Fort Lauderdale’s conditions. We’ll tell you which applies to your roof and put the reasoning on the written estimate.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Boral Flashing Replacement Is Failing
- Water staining on interior ceilings or upper wall corners. Flashing is the most common point of entry when sealant at the flashing-to-tile junction dries out and cracks under Florida sun, letting rain ride the flashing behind the wall.
- Granular corrosion or white powdery buildup on exposed flashing. Salt air and humidity in Fort Lauderdale accelerate aluminum and galvanized corrosion; once the metal develops pinholes, water has a direct path in even if the sealant looks fine.
- Lifted or curled flashing edges. Boral tile expands and contracts with heat cycles, and flashing nailed too tight or installed without allowance at the hem can pull away from the wall in five to seven years.
- Cracked or missing sealant at roof penetrations. The flashing itself may be fine, but the sealant joint at a vent or chimney is a wear item in South Florida and fails before the metal does on most Boral roofs we inspect.
- Damp drywall around a chimney chase or furnace flue after rain. Chimney flashing on Boral roofs is a common failure point because it has the most complex angles, and Fort Lauderdale’s storm-driven rain exposes any small gap quickly.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
In Fort Lauderdale, a single wall flashing replacement on a Boral roof lands between $275 and $385 for most homes, depending on the linear feet of flashing and whether we’re cutting back the stucco to set the reglet properly. Chimney flashing replacement runs higher, generally $420 to $540, because it usually means four separate flashing pieces plus mortar work at the crown. If water has already gotten behind the wall, you can add $120 to $200 for opening, drying, and closing the affected area, which we’ll price transparently on the same written estimate.
Every flashing replacement includes removing the old flashing and sealant, prepping the masonry or framing surface, installing the new Boral-compatible flashing, sealing with a UV-stable polyurethane, and a before-and-after photo set delivered by text under The Relay Standard. You get the written price before work starts, and you get our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if that flashing fails within a year, the second visit is free. Hard to argue with that on a roof that fights this climate every day.

Flashing replacement on a Boral tile roof is not a safe weekend project. The work means lifting or cutting tile, working on a roof slope, and removing the barrier that keeps water out of your wall. A fall from even a single-story Fort Lauderdale roof can be life-changing, and a flashing detail sealed wrong leaks worse than the one you removed. We don’t recommend homeowners attempt Boral flashing work themselves. What you can safely do is photograph the damaged flashing and check your ceiling for damp spots after rain, which gives us useful information before we arrive.
If what you see is lifting flashing, cracked sealant, or water staining, call us at (754) 354-8628. We’ll schedule a visit, show you exactly what’s failing, and hand you a written price before anything gets touched. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a promise.
FAQs
Boral flashing in Fort Lauderdale typically lasts 8 to 15 years depending on how much direct salt exposure the roof gets, with sealant joints needing attention every 4 to 6 years even when the metal is still sound. Call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your flashing needs replacement or just resealing.
Small sealant cracks or short gaps can often be repaired, but once the metal is corroded through or the flashing has pulled away from the wall, patching it usually fails within a year and costs you more than a proper replacement would have. We’ll show you photos of the damage and quote the repair or replacement price before any work begins.
Most single-wall flashing replacements take 2 to 4 hours on site, and chimney flashing takes a half day, since we let the sealant cure before the area is exposed to weather. With The Relay Standard, you’ll see our live arrival time before we get there and get photo documentation when the job is done.
Do you stock Boral flashing or do you have to order it?
We stock the most common Boral-compatible flashing profiles on the truck, and we order OEM-matched Boral flashing for warranty-sensitive work, which typically arrives in 3 to 5 business days. Tell us the roof’s age and we’ll tell you which route makes sense before we schedule the job.
