AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Selma
Window replacement in Selma typically runs $4,500 to $15,000, and the smart money starts with a foundation check before a single window comes out. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s what the soils here demand. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked on enough tract homes along Highway 99 and Floral Avenue to know that Selma’s expansive adobe clay moves slabs seasonally, and a window that suddenly won’t latch is often a foundation talking, not a hinge failing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look before you spend a dollar.
We’re the owner-operated crew that pulls up with Tom Barrett’s name on the truck, not a franchise dispatcher who’s never seen a raisin packing shed. If you’re in the 93662 ZIP and your windows are binding, fogging, or leaking cool air into a 105°F afternoon, we can help.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Selma’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been at this since 1998, and the reason Selma homeowners keep calling us back is simple: we show up when we say we will, and every price change lands on paper before work starts. No phone-quote bait, no end-of-job surprise. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and you won’t find that date on a Barrett & Sons contract.
Tom Barrett answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. You can look up the license number, and you’ll see the same name on the permit application that’s on the side of the truck. In Selma, where word travels fast through Fowler and Kingsburg and back again, that kind of accountability matters more than any billboard.
Our Windows & Doors crews know this ZIP code. We know which 1960s and 1970s tracts were built with slab-on-grade foundations that move with the seasons. We know how the tule fog lingers from November through February and what it does to flashing that was installed wrong thirty years ago. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we prep, and how long your windows actually last.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Selma
Window Installation
New window installation in Selma starts with the rough opening, not the glass. On older agricultural-worker tract homes, we regularly find undersized or water-damaged framing that needs correction before a new Andersen or Marvin unit goes in. We shim, re-square, flash, and seal for this valley’s UV and fog cycles, then we write each step on the permit paperwork so the Fresno County inspector can see exactly what was done.
Door Installation
A front door in Selma takes a beating. Summer sun bakes the west-facing entries along McCall Avenue, and winter fog keeps moisture pressed against thresholds. We install exterior doors with proper sill pans, drip caps, and closed-cell foam insulation, because a door that’s just “swapped in” will warp and leak within two seasons. Every door gets a written change order if the rough opening needs repair, so you approve the number before we cut anything.
Window Replacement
For Selma homeowners replacing old single-pane aluminum windows, we quote $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of units, glass package, and what we find when the old windows come out. Low-E glass and proper weatherstripping are not optional here. In 100°F-plus summers, the difference between a sealed window and a leaky one shows up directly on your cooling bill. We test each replacement for air infiltration before we call the job done, and we check the slab condition around each opening as part of the pre-install walkthrough.
Impact Windows & Doors
Selma isn’t a hurricane market, but impact-rated windows and doors still earn their keep here. The same laminated glass and reinforced frames that meet Florida’s wind codes do a fine job of cutting noise from Highway 99 and nearby rail lines, and they hold up better against the seasonal thermal cycling that cracks standard seals. If you want all-weather durability in a Selma home, impact-rated units are worth a serious conversation. Budget $8,000 to $25,000 for a full impact window package, depending on openings and glass upgrades.

Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We install and service Andersen and Marvin windows, and we carry the hardware and replacement parts that Selma homes actually need. That means less waiting when a FedEx shipment would otherwise sit in Fresno for a week. You’ll see Techo-Bloc and Oldcastle products on our hardscape and patio door jobs because those brands hold up in this climate. Nothing goes in that we wouldn’t put on Tom Barrett’s own house.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Doors that stick in winter and loosen in summer. Selma’s expansive adobe clay swells with winter rain and shrinks hard in summer, and that movement racks door frames out of square. We check slab movement before hanging a new door, because shimming a frame over a moving slab buys you a year, not a fix.
- Failed caulking and weatherstripping. Intense UV and 100°F-plus heat bake window seals fast in this valley. When your cooling bill climbs and you can feel a draft near the sash, it’s usually degraded weatherstripping, and it’s a straightforward repair if caught before the frame starts to rot.
- Mold and rot from tule fog. Dense fog from November through February holds moisture against poorly flashed window and door openings. We find rot in the sill and jack studs on a lot of post-WWII Selma homes, and it always matters more than the homeowner expected.
- Out-of-square rough openings from heaving slabs. We pulled a sliding patio door off a 1970s tract home off Floral Avenue and found the frame twisted nearly half an inch out of square because the slab had heaved during winter rains. We re-squared the rough opening, installed a low-E slider with a reinforced moisture barrier, and wrote the foundation crack into a separate change order so the homeowner could decide on repairs before we closed up the wall. That’s how we work every job.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Selma
Not always, but if we see visible slab cracks, binding doors, or gaps opening seasonally at window corners, we’ll recommend one before quoting the job. Fresno County inspectors flag this specifically in the 93662 ZIP. A soils report costs a few hundred dollars and tells us whether the opening will stay square after we finish the work. It’s cheaper than reinstalling a window two years later. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you honestly whether you need one.
Common triggers in Selma’s post-WWII and 1960s-1980s stock include upgraded flashing details, tempered glass where current code requires it, enlarged egress openings in bedrooms, and occasionally seismic strapping or header reinforcement. We build these into the written estimate before we start, and if the inspector flags something mid-job, you get a change order to approve in writing before we proceed. No surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free site assessment.
The adobe clay under Selma expands when the winter rains soak in, which lifts and shifts slabs, and then contracts hard in the dry summer, letting them settle back. That seasonal movement racks door frames out of square. We deal with it by checking slab condition, shimming and re-squaring rough openings, and using flexible flashing that rides out the movement. If the slab is moving badly, we’ll tell you before we sell you a door. Call (877) 610-1318 for an in-person look.
No, and you shouldn’t. This is Fresno County, and the inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like him. A patio door swap that changes the opening width or header load needs a permit and an inspection. We pull permits on every eligible job and stand with you through the inspection. If a contractor tells you permits are optional on this one, hang up. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll handle the paperwork correctly.
Most Selma window replacement jobs land between $4,500 and $15,000 all in. That covers removal of the old units, any rough-opening correction, new Andersen or Marvin windows, flashing, insulation, trim, debris hauling, permit fees, and labor. A full custom window package or impact-rated upgrade pushes toward the top of that range. Estimates are free, and the price we write is the price we honor, unless you approve a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
