Boral / Westlake Royal Roofing

Concrete & clay tile — inspector's-eye notes on install spec, warranty requirements, and what typically gets skipped on NM installs.

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.

  4. Does the Boral / Westlake Royal Roofing warranty on this bid cover material only, labor + material, or full system with workmanship?
