Owens Corning Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent Owens Corning service across Selma, and here’s the short answer: roof replacement with Owens Corning materials here typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, roof repair $400 to $1,800, and the work hinges on one Selma-specific condition we’ll get into below. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno is not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by Owens Corning. As a general contractor in Selma, we work on these systems every month, which means we know how they fail under Selma’s summer sun and what the older homes west of the railroad tracks need before new shingles go down. Call (559) 785-2712 for a written estimate.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Our crews have logged years on Owens Corning roofs in Selma, from 1920s bungalows to 1970s ranch houses. We know the product lines, the failure points, and what the manufacturer’s specs actually require. Curtis Lane, owner of Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno, grew up swinging a framing hammer and has spent over two decades on Central California job sites. He runs the crew the same way he runs a flag football offense: everyone knows their assignment before the snap. That means we show up with the right materials, we write the price before we start, and we don’t leave a site until it’s squared away. For Owens Corning work specifically, we use genuine shingles and accessories on full replacements, and we’re straight with you when a repair will do the job versus when you’re throwing money at a roof that’s done.

Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Premature granule loss on Duration shingles. Selma’s summer sun beats on west-facing roof slopes with an intensity that strips granules off older Owens Corning Duration shingles faster than the manufacturer’s average lifespan would suggest. We see this constantly on homes built in the 1960s and 70s, and once granule loss passes roughly 30%, patching stops making sense. Full replacement is the honest answer.
- Cracking and curling along eaves on Oakridge shingles. Repeated 100°F heat cycles expand and contract shingles every day for months. On Owens Corning Oakridge roofs in Selma, that stress shows up first at the eaves, where shingles lose flexibility and start to crack. On a 1960s bungalow off Floral Avenue, our tech found Oakridge shingles cracking along the eaves from years of Selma heat. We removed the brittle shingles, installed new drip edge and ice-and-water shield, then laid Owens Corning Duration shingles with extra ventilation. The attic temperature now runs 15 degrees cooler.
- Underlayment deterioration under tile or composition roofs. Homes west of the railroad tracks in Selma are older, and many still have original underlayment. Trapped moisture after winter rains, combined with summer heat, breaks down that underlayment and lets water reach the decking. We check for this on every Owens Corning repair, because new shingles over rotted underlayment is a waste of your money.
- Attic heat buildup warping decking. Selma’s 1950s ranch homes often lack proper attic ventilation. That trapped heat warps the plywood decking beneath Owens Corning shingles and shortens the roof’s life. We address ventilation before we lay new shingles, because a new roof on a hot attic is a callback waiting to happen.
- Decking not rated for today’s thicker shingles. This one catches Selma homeowners off guard. Older decking was not designed for the added weight of modern Owens Corning Duration shingles. We’ll tell you before we start whether your decking needs reinforcement, and we’ll put that number in writing.
Owens Corning Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a checkable Selma fact that shapes Owens Corning work here more than anywhere nearby: the pre-1980 ranch homes that dominate this city often have original plywood decking that was not rated for the added weight of today’s thicker Owens Corning Duration shingles. Selma service area homes west of the railroad tracks are the worst hit, because that housing stock is older and less likely to have been retrofitted. What that means for an Owens Corning roof replacement is simple: our crews have to check decking thickness and span rating before installation, and in many cases we reinforce it. A Fresno contractor who does not do much Selma work might miss that step. We don’t, because we see it every month. Skip the reinforcement, and the new shingles sag within a few years, the warranty gets voided, and you’re paying twice.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Selma
We install and repair the full residential Owens Corning shingle lineup: Duration Series, Oakridge, Supreme, and ProEdge Hip & Ridge. For full replacements, our Selma kitchen remodeling and roofing crews use genuine Owens Corning shingles and accessories. For repairs, we may substitute quality aftermarket flashing or underlayment when the budget calls for it, and we’ll tell you that upfront. We keep common Owens Corning colors and ridge cap stocked for fast turnaround on Selma repair jobs, which matters when a cracked shingle turns into a leak during a wet February. We also recommend full replacement when granule loss exceeds 30% or multiple tabs are cracked, rather than chasing patches on a roof that is already past its service life.

FAQs – Owens Corning Construction in Selma
Yes, when installed with proper ventilation and decking support, but Selma heat accelerates granule loss on any asphalt shingle, and Owens Corning is no exception. We recommend Duration Series for Selma roofs because its construction handles thermal expansion better than economy lines. Call (559) 785-2712 for an exact assessment of your roof.
Yes. We stock common Owens Corning colors used across Selma and can source the exact color code for your existing shingles. Color matching on a partial re-roof is standard, not an upsell. Weather fading may mean a slight difference, and we’ll tell you if that’s likely before we start.
In Selma, it’s usually the sun. West-facing slopes on homes west of the railroad tracks take direct afternoon heat, and granule loss there is normal for a 12-year-old roof. Manufacturer warranties cover certain defects, but heat-related wear is generally not one of them. We’ll inspect and tell you honestly whether you have a warranty claim or a wear issue. Call (559) 785-2712 for an inspection.
Yes, Selma requires a building permit for roof replacement, and older homes often need upgraded underlayment to meet current code. We pull permits and pass inspections as part of the job. The underlayment upgrade is a real cost, and it goes in the written estimate before work starts.
For most Selma rental properties, yes. Duration shingles hold up better under sustained Central Valley heat and reduce callbacks on west-facing slopes. The upfront premium, typically $1,500 to $3,000 on a standard Selma roof, buys a roof that lasts longer before the next replacement. Call (559) 785-2712 for a line-item comparison on your property.
