ECO Window Systems Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent ECO Window Systems sales & service across Selma, backed by a full year written guarantee. The difference here is simple: our crews have pulled ECO units from 1950s ranch homes west of the railroad tracks long enough to know exactly where they fail under Selma’s triple-digit summers and irrigation-hard water. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free estimate. We put the price in writing before any work starts.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for ECO Window Systems Service
Selma homeowners don’t need another contractor who treats every window job as generic replacement work. They need someone who knows the ECO 400 single-hung from the ECO 500 casement, understands which operator gears strip first, and can look at a fogged pane on an ECO 200 picture window and tell you whether it’s a failed low-E seal or a frame leak. That’s what we do.
Curtis Lane, a General Contractor in Selma, brought his construction technology training from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College into two decades of Central California work. His crews have opened walls in Selma bungalows and ranches, fixed the framing mistakes of previous remodels, and set new ECO units square so the sashes actually glide. The estimate says what we build, and we build what the estimate says.

Common ECO Window Systems Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
Here’s what we actually see in Selma homes, week after week:
- Warped sashes on ECO 400 single-hungs. The south and west exposures take the worst of Selma’s sun, and a sash that baked through enough 105°F afternoons can be a quarter-inch out of square. That means air leaks at the corners, latches that don’t catch, and a frame that fights you every time you open it. We rebuild or replace the sash, and if the frame has moved, we tell you straight.
- Fogging between panes on ECO 200 fixed and picture units. Older Selma homes with unshaded west-facing walls are prime candidates for seal failure. The low-E coating degrades, moisture works in, and the glass clouds permanently. You can’t clean that; you replace the insulated unit or the whole frame depending on what’s sound.
- Stripped or bent operator gears on ECO 500 casements. Selma’s irrigation water is hard, and the scale it leaves on tracks and crank mechanisms acts like sandpaper over time. A casement that gets progressively harder to crank every summer is usually a gear being ground down. We source correct replacement gears and clean the track assemblies to match.
- Water intrusion at sill corners of ECO 300 sliders. Selma’s winter storms are mild but wet, and many original installs used caulked nailing fins instead of taped flanges. Once the caulk fails, water runs under the sill and into the wall cavity. It rots framing slowly and you don’t notice until the drywall shows it. We find the leak, pull the unit, and flash it right.
- Failed window balances causing sticky or dropped sashes. The 1950s and 1960s ranch homes around Selma have settled more than newer builds, and the rough openings are rarely square. Balances wear unevenly when a frame binds. We source the correct ECO balance assemblies and set the sash to travel evenly.
ECO Window Systems Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Homes west of the railroad tracks in Selma, built mostly before 1960, have shallow wall cavities and no sill flashing behind their original ECO Window Systems. That’s a problem a generic Fresno crew doesn’t catch when they retrofit from the interior. We’ve opened enough of those walls to know what’s behind them: rough openings that were never flashed, original wood sills that have wicked water for fifty years, and nailing fins that were caulked instead of taped. So when we replace an ECO unit in that part of Selma, we do a full frame-out with new waterproofing, taped flanges, and z-flashing at the header. Skipping that scopes the job wrong from the start and guarantees the next leak lands on your drywall.
Last August our crew pulled an ECO 400 single-hung from a 1962 ranch on Young Street west of the tracks. The south sash had warped almost a quarter-inch out of square from years of direct afternoon sun, so we replaced the frame with a new ECO 500 casement and custom-flashed the opening to stop wind-blown rain that had rotted the drywall beneath the old sill. The job took half a day longer because we pulled the interior trim and reframed the rough opening. It’s the right way and it holds.
ECO Window Systems Models & Products We Service in Selma
We work on all four primary ECO Window Systems lines:
- ECO 400 Series Single-Hung – the most common unit in Selma’s older ranch and bungalow stock, and the one we see with warped sashes and worn balances most often.
- ECO 300 Series Sliding – popular in mid-century Selma homes, with the sill-corner water intrusion issues we described above.
- ECO 500 Series Casement – the best choice for Selma’s sun if you want positive crank seal and full ventilation; we service the operator gears, hinges, and seals.
- ECO 200 Series Fixed/Picture – the big, west-facing glass in Selma living rooms; the seal failures we repair and replace most.
We stock the most common genuine ECO balances, locks, and weatherstripping for fast Selma turnaround. When we need glazing units or heavier components, our suppliers run through Fresno regularly, so we’re not waiting on extended shipping.

AfterECO Window Systems Service Pricing in Selma
Here’s what Selma homeowners can expect for ECO Window Systems construction work:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Emergency & Storm Damage | $400 – $1,800 |
What drives the final number? Framing condition is the biggest variable. If the rough opening is square and the framing is sound, a direct replacement goes fast. If we find rotted sills or water-damaged framing under the old unit (common west of the tracks in Selma), there’s carpentry involved and the scope grows.

FAQs – ECO Window Systems Construction in Selma
In Selma’s older homes, especially those with west-facing glass that takes the full afternoon sun, the heat cycling causes the low-E seal between the panes to break down faster than shaded glass. Once that seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and fogs them permanently. The fix is replacing the insulated glass unit or, if the frame is worn, the whole window. We can tell you which is the right call once we look at the unit. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free inspection.
Sometimes. If only the sash itself is warped and the frame is still square, we can replace the sash and the balances. But if the frame has moved with it, or the unit is over 15 years old, a full replacement often costs less than a second repair two years down the road. We’ll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch. Estimates are free.
Standard replacement is fine for most Selma homes. Impact-rated windows matter if you’re in a fire-risk zone that requires them, or if you simply want the extra noise reduction and shatter resistance. We’ll tell you what you need for your specific street and structure, and we won’t upsell impact glass where standard glass does the job. Call (559) 785-2712 to talk through your options.
Central Valley irrigation water is hard, and the mineral scale it leaves on window tracks and crank mechanisms works like an abrasive. Every time you crank the window, that scale grinds against the gears and hinges. The fix is replacing the worn operator gears and cleaning the track assemblies properly, then lubricating with the right compound. It’s a straightforward service call. We can get you on the schedule quickly.
On a modest 1950s Selma bungalow, a full replacement typically runs in the $8,000 – $15,000 range depending on how many windows, what styles you’re installing, and whether we need to reframe any rough openings or repair water damage behind the old units. The surest way to get a real number is a free estimate. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll put the price in writing before any work starts.
