CWS Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent CWS window and door service across Selma, from seal repairs on 1960s Select Series windows to full impact-rated replacements. What makes our CWS work different here is that we know Selma’s older housing stock west of the railroad tracks, where original CWS windows have been baking under Central Valley sun for fifty or sixty years. You get a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes sense, and a written price before any work starts. Call (559) 785-2712.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most window companies in the Fresno area treat CWS windows the same way they treat every other brand: recommend replacing the whole unit. We don’t. Curtis Lane has been running crews across Central California for over two decades, and his team has spent enough time inside Selma’s bungalows and 1950s ranches to know which CWS failures are worth repairing and which aren’t. A failed insulated glass unit doesn’t justify a $1,500 window replacement if the frame is still square and sound. A warped sash after forty summers of afternoon sun usually does.
We’re an independent CWS service provider, which means we’re not tied to any manufacturer’s sales targets or warranty quotas. If a balance replacement and new weatherstripping gets your CWS slider working right for another decade, that’s what we’ll recommend. If the wood frame has rotted past a reliable fix, we’ll tell you that too, and give you a written line-item quote for the replacement before we touch a single tool. That’s how The Garrison Standard works, and it’s the same principle behind our Kitchen Remodeling in Selma: the estimate says what we build, and we build what the estimate says.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Failed insulated glass units in older CWS windows. Selma’s hot, dry summers accelerate seal degradation in double-pane units, especially in homes built during the 1960s and 1970s. You’ll see hazy glass, condensation between panes, or a film you can’t clean off. We replace the IGU and keep your original frame.
- Warped or sticking CWS sashes from decades of sun exposure. Afternoon sun on west-facing walls of Selma ranch homes heats vinyl and wood sashes unevenly, causing warping that makes windows hard to open and close. We assess whether the sash can be rebalanced or needs replacement.
- Deteriorated weatherstripping on CWS sliders and patio doors. Selma’s hot, dry air dries out rubber and foam seals, which then crack and let drafts, dust, and insects in. We replace weatherstripping with high-quality OEM-matched or better aftermarket material.
- Worn balances on CWS windows. Balances are the hidden springs that make a window sash stay up when you open it. They fail gradually, especially in older CWS units throughout Selma. We keep replacement balances stocked for fast turnaround.
- Rotted wood frames around CWS windows in older Selma homes. Sprinkler overspray is common in Selma’s older neighborhoods with established lawns, and repeated wetting rots wood frames around CWS windows. We assess the rot, repair what’s salvageable, and recommend replacement only when the structural integrity is gone.
CWS Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Selma’s older neighborhoods west of the railroad tracks have an unusually high proportion of original CWS windows installed in the 1960s and 1970s. That’s not a generic observation; it’s visible block by block along streets like Floral Avenue and Thompson Avenue, where ranch homes from that era still carry their original window packages. The combination of intense Central Valley sun, occasional winter rain, and wide temperature swings causes seal failures in those original CWS units at a rate we simply don’t see in newer subdivisions east of Highway 99. Most generic window companies miss this entirely and recommend full replacement on every foggy pane they see. On a 1970s ranch off Floral Avenue, our tech found three CWS Select Series windows with failed seals and one sash that had warped from decades of afternoon sun exposure. We replaced the insulated glass units in the two salvageable windows and installed a new CWS Pro Series window where the frame was too far gone, all while matching the home’s original trim profile. The homeowner said the rooms finally stopped feeling like an oven in July.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Selma
We work on the CWS product families most common across Selma’s housing stock: CWS Select Series vinyl windows, CWS Pro Series patio doors, CWS 200 Series sliding glass doors, and CWS impact-rated window lines. For repairs, we use only high-quality OEM-matched or better aftermarket parts, including replacement balances, weatherstripping, and insulated glass units. We keep the most common CWS part sizes in local stock for faster Selma turnaround. If a unit has failed beyond repair, we give you the honest call: repair when the frame is structurally sound, replace when sashes are warped or frames are rotted beyond a reliable fix.

FAQs – CWS Construction in Selma
Yes. A broken seal means the insulated glass unit has failed, not the window frame. In most cases we can remove the existing IGU, order a replacement in the correct size and glass spec, and install it in the original frame. This typically runs significantly less than a full window replacement and preserves the home’s original trim profile.
Selma’s older housing stock has a high concentration of original CWS windows from the 1960s and 1970s, especially in neighborhoods west of the railroad tracks. Those units are now fifty to sixty years old, and the combination of summer temperatures above 100°F and winter rain has degraded the original seals. The fogging itself is moisture trapped between panes. It’s an age and exposure issue, not a random defect.
We’re an independent CWS service provider. That means we’re not bound by any manufacturer’s warranty authorization process or replacement-push sales targets. We use OEM-matched or better aftermarket parts, and we give you an honest repair-vs-replace assessment based on what’s actually in your home. For a no-pressure evaluation, call (559) 785-2712.
We do. Rotted wood frames around CWS patio doors are common in Selma’s older ranch homes, particularly where sprinkler overspray has been hitting the frame for years. We’ll assess the extent of the rot. If the structural frame is sound, we repair and seal it. If it’s rotted through, we’ll quote a replacement and match the trim to your home’s existing profile. Estimates are always free.
Yes. We install CWS impact-rated window lines that meet current code requirements for storm protection. Impact-rated windows also provide better thermal performance and noise reduction than older non-impact units. We’ll pull the permits, pass the inspections, and give you a written line-item price before any work begins. Call (559) 785-2712 to schedule a free estimate.
