Boral / Westlake Royal Roofing
Concrete & clay tile — inspector's-eye notes on install spec, warranty requirements, and what typically gets skipped on NM installs.
Training attended

Southwest regional
Owner-attested attendance. Boral / Westlake Royal Roofing does not typically issue individual certificates for product-knowledge sessions. Listed as training attended, never as certification.
What we check on a Boral / Westlake Royal Roofing install
- The underlayment IS the roof. Tile just protects it — spec double-layer synthetic or 40lb felt minimum.
- Batten spacing set to the specific tile profile — measured, not eyeballed.
- Hip/ridge closures + weatherblock at every terminus — where most tile leaks start.
- Broken tiles replaced with matching salvage stock, not just any tile that fits.
- Flashings custom-formed to the tile profile, not flat pan flashings jammed under.
