We know Selma’s roofs because we work on them every week. The adobe clay under your slab moves with every rain and every heat wave, and that movement shows up in your trusses, your flashing, and your tile. Tom Barrett and his sons run our Roofing crews from the Fresno office, and when you call about a leak on Rose Avenue or a cracked barrel tile on McCall, the person on the phone knows exactly which neighborhood you’re describing.
Key takeaways:
- Free written estimates with line-item pricing before any work starts
- Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible reroof
- 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract
- No trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Selma’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve been owner-operated since 1998, and around Selma that matters. When a crew shows up with the Barrett name on the truck, the person on the ladder is Tom’s son or a background-checked crew member who’s been with the family for years, not a subcontractor dispatched from two counties away. Homeowners on Rose Avenue, Young Street, and around Brentlinger Park call us because the last contractor they used didn’t live anywhere near Selma and didn’t have to face them at the hardware store afterward.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s the point. A Selma homeowner handed a five-figure reroofing quote deserves to know exactly who stands behind it, and we put that in writing on every contract, including the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our crews serve Selma locally, scheduling and coordinating from our Central Valley office. That means when tule fog season hits and you find water staining your ceiling at 9 p.m., the phone rings and a real person picks up. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center.
Our Roofing Services in Selma
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Selma runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, tear-off layers, and the material you choose. Before we quote anything, we inspect what’s underneath the shingles or tile: the decking, the rafter condition, the roof-to-wall connections. In Selma, expansive clay soil lifts slab corners seasonally, which shifts roof framing and opens gaps at rake and eave flashing. A replacement that ignores that movement will fail early. Ours don’t.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Metal roof installation in Selma runs $15,000 to $40,000, and for many homes here it’s the smartest long-term play. The valley’s 100°F-plus summers degrade asphalt shingles and caulks faster than coastal California sees, but a standing seam panel handles the thermal cycling without cracking at the seams. On a 1960s-era ranch on Rose Avenue, our crew opened up a leak around a chiminea and found original skip sheathing pulled loose from undersized rafters, with cracked clay tiles exposing underlayment to years of fog moisture. We wrote a change order before touching anything, replaced the load-bearing rafters, added plywood sheathing per Fresno County permit, and installed a standing seam roof that passed inspection before the next winter fog rolled in.
Roof Leak Repair
Roof leak repair in Selma usually runs $400 to $1,800. Water coming through a ceiling is never just a shingle. Around here, tule fog soaks into barrel tile underlayment over multiple winters and promotes hidden rot along the eaves of older homes. Heat-driven expansion cracks sealant at roof penetrations, especially swamp cooler mounts on 1960s-1980s tract houses. We trace the leak to its actual source before we touch a thing, then price the fix in writing.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Selma runs $600 to $2,500. The barrel tile on many older Selma homes looks beautiful from the street but traps fog moisture beneath it for months at a time. We repair, reset, and re-bed tile the right way, and when the underlayment underneath is compromised, we tell you before we start, with a written change order before any expanded scope touches the job.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Tule fog rot. From November through February, dense fog settles over the 93662 ZIP and lingers. Moisture wicks into barrel tile underlayment and eaves, and by spring the rot is in. We inspect these areas specifically on every Selma reroof.
- Swamp cooler mount failures. Selma’s 1960s-1980s tract houses often have swamp coolers or old mounts on the roof. The valley’s extreme thermal cycle, summer highs to near-freezing winter nights, cracks the sealant around those penetrations year after year.
- Truss movement from clay soil. Selma’s expansive adobe clay heaves when winter rain soaks in and shrinks hard through the dry summer. Slab-on-grade homes feel it first, and the roof framing moves with it, opening flashing gaps at the eaves and rakes.
- Skip sheathing failure. Older Selma homes, especially 1950s and 1960s ranch styles, were often built with skip sheathing rather than solid plywood. Decades of heat and moisture loosen those boards, and tile or shingle fasteners lose their grip. We see it constantly.

FAQs - Roofing in Selma
Fresno County requires a permit for most reroofing work, and Selma falls under that jurisdiction. A like-for-like shingle replacement may qualify for a simpler permit path, but we don’t decide that unilaterally. We pull the permit on every job that requires one, and the inspector signs off before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like him involved.
Selma sits on expansive adobe clay, and that soil moves more dramatically through the wet-dry cycle than the soils under Clovis or northern Fresno. Slab-on-grade Selma homes shift seasonally, and tile roofs on those homes experience more truss movement and flashing separation. Add tule fog holding moisture against the tile underlayment for weeks each winter, and you get failures that look premature but are really environmental. A generic roofer misses it. We inspect for it on every tile roof we touch in the 93662 ZIP.
A standing seam metal roof is usually the best choice for a Selma home, because it handles thermal cycling and minor framing movement without cracking or losing fasteners. Asphalt shingles work fine if the decking and roof-to-wall connections are solid, but on a slab-on-grade home that moves seasonally, a standing seam system flexes without failing. We’ll walk you through the material options and the actual cost difference in writing before you decide.
Most Selma roof leaks are repairable without a full replacement, and you’ll know the cost before we open anything up. If we find hidden damage, you’ll get a written change order with the exact price before we touch it. No one works off a surprise. That’s the whole system: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. If the repair is small, the $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 offer applies. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.
Yes, and in Selma the effect is mostly positive for metal. Coastal California’s salt air and constant humidity can accelerate corrosion, but Selma’s dry heat and fog are different stresses. Metal panels here expand and contract with the valley’s temperature swings, and a properly installed standing seam roof handles that movement at the seams, not by cracking. The key is the underlayment and the fastener details, which is why the installation matters more than the product. We get it right here because we’ve done it here.
