PGT Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Selma, and the one thing that sets our work apart is this: we know how PGT products behave in Selma’s specific conditions, from triple-digit heat to the pre-1980 housing stock west of the railroad tracks. We’re not factory-authorized, and we’re clear about that. We’re a local Central Valley crew that repairs and installs PGT WinGuard, SpectraGuard, and Eze-Breeze products with genuine parts and straight pricing. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free estimate.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
PGT windows show up all over Selma, especially on the older ranch and bungalow homes between the 1920s and 1980s. Homeowners call us because we’ve spent years working on these exact products in these exact houses. Curtis Lane, owner at Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno, grew up swinging a framing hammer and came up through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before putting in more than two decades across Central California. His crew knows that a PGT WinGuard sash on a 1960s Selma ranch behaves differently than the same sash on a new construction in Fresno. We stock the parts that matter locally: sash balances, rollers, locks, weatherstripping, and insulated glass units for the most common PGT lines. We’re an independent PGT service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, but we use genuine PGT parts whenever they’re available because knock-off components compromise fit and impact ratings.
Beyond PGT expertise, Selma homeowners get a General Contractor in Selma that puts everything in writing. Every job gets a written price before work starts, no exceptions. Every completed project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails inside that window, we come back and correct it at no charge. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail queue. That’s The Garrison Standard, the framework Bradford Remodeling operates under, and it applies to every PGT repair or installation we do in Selma.

Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Cracked or fogged insulated glass in PGT WinGuard windows. Selma’s summers routinely push past 100°F, and that sustained heat breaks down the seals on older insulated glass units. You’ll see condensation between the panes or a milky haze that won’t wipe off. That’s seal failure, and it means the unit has lost its insulating value. We replace the glass pack with a new PGT insulated glass unit rather than trying to reseal something that’s already compromised.
- Roller and track wear in PGT Eze-Breeze porch enclosures. Fine Central Valley dust and agricultural grit work their way into the tracks of Eze-Breeze panels. Selma’s farm surroundings mean more particulate in the air than you’d see in Fresno proper, and that grit chews up rollers over time. Panels start to bind, jump the track, or refuse to slide. We replace the rollers and clean the tracks, and if the track itself is scored, we’ll tell you that straight.
- Warped or misaligned vinyl frames on older PGT WinGuard windows. Frequent 100°F+ heat cycles cause vinyl to expand and contract. On older WinGuard units, especially those installed a decade or more ago, frames can warp slightly, leading to sticking sashes or gaps where weatherstripping doesn’t seat. Sometimes the fix is a balance adjustment. Sometimes the frame has shifted enough that replacement is the honest answer.
- Failing weatherstripping and worn locking mechanisms on PGT SpectraGuard doors. Selma’s older ranch homes often have original door openings, and the SpectraGuard doors installed on them have seen years of heat, dust, and use. Worn weatherstripping means drafts and higher cooling bills in July. Worn locks mean a door that doesn’t secure properly. We replace both with genuine PGT hardware.
- Sticking sashes from settled foundations. Many Selma homes have original foundations, and settlement is common. When a foundation shifts, window openings go out of square, and PGT sashes bind. We shim, adjust, and where necessary reframe the opening so the window operates the way PGT designed it to.
PGT Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact about Selma that shapes PGT work here more than almost anything else: unlike neighboring Fresno or Kingsburg, many Selma homes west of the railroad tracks were built before 1940 and still have original double-hung windows. Those openings are often too narrow for today’s stock PGT WinGuard sizes. Standard widths simply don’t fit. That means retrofits require custom measurements, and sometimes reframing, before a PGT unit can be set correctly. We navigate this quirk on a weekly basis. A contractor who’s only ever worked in newer Fresno subdivisions will order a stock size and discover on install day that it doesn’t fit. We measure the rough opening, check the framing, and order accordingly. On Floral Street, we replaced two PGT WinGuard vinyl sliders on a 1960s ranch after the homeowners complained of fogging and stiff operation. The old units had cracked glass seals from decades of Selma heat, and the original frames had shifted enough that we had to square the openings before setting the new impact-rated windows. We reused the existing interior trim and finished the job in one day, leaving the sashes gliding smoothly and the rooms noticeably cooler.
That combination of pre-war framing, post-war expansion, and intense summer heat is something you won’t find equally true in Fresno or Madera. It’s a Selma-specific reality, and it changes how we spec, order, and install every PGT product we touch here.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Selma
Our crew works on PGT WinGuard Vinyl, PGT WinGuard Aluminum, PGT SpectraGuard, and PGT Eze-Breeze product lines. For each, we use genuine PGT parts whenever available: sash balances, rollers, locks, and weatherstripping. Knock-off components compromise fit and impact ratings, so we don’t use them. When a frame is cracked or a glass pack is beyond resealing, we tell you that replacement is the lasting fix rather than suggesting a band-aid repair. We stock the most common parts for Selma service calls, which shortens turnaround. For full frame replacements or custom-width PGT WinGuard units for older Selma homes, we order direct and typically have the product within a week. We’re an independent PGT service provider, and our knowledge of these product lines comes from years of hands-on work, not from a manufacturer training manual.

AfterPGT Service Pricing in Selma
Here’s what PGT service costs in Selma, with real numbers in writing before any work starts.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| PGT WinGuard window replacement (per unit, typical sizes) | $1,400 – $4,200 |
| PGT Eze-Breeze roller and track replacement (per panel) | $180 – $450 |
| PGT insulated glass unit replacement | $350 – $900 |
| Whole-home window replacement (PGT WinGuard, 8 – 12 windows) | $8,000 – $25,000 |
What drives the cost? The size of the opening, whether the existing frame can be reused, and whether the home needs custom sizing because of older Selma framing. A 1920s bungalow west of the tracks will usually cost more per window than a 1980s ranch because the openings need more preparation. Your free estimate includes exact measurements, a written line-item price, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (559) 785-2712 to schedule yours.

FAQs – PGT Construction in Selma
No, it’s not normal for a properly installed and adjusted PGT WinGuard window to rattle, even with train vibration. Rattling usually means the sash isn’t seating tightly against the weatherstripping, or the balances have lost tension. We can adjust or replace the balances, re-seat the weatherstripping, and tighten the hardware so the sash sits firm. If the window has been rattling for years, the vibration may have also loosened the frame’s connection to the rough opening, which we’ll check and correct. Call (559) 785-2712 for an inspection.
In most cases, you can replace only the insulated glass unit, which costs $350 – $900 in Selma depending on size and glass type. The sash and frame stay in place. If the sash itself is damaged, warped, or the frame has shifted, then a full sash or entire window replacement is the right call. We’ll tell you which applies to your window, and you’ll have that answer in writing before any work starts. Call (559) 785-2712 for an exact quote.
They hold up well if the rollers and tracks are maintained. Selma’s agricultural dust is finer and more abrasive than typical urban dirt, so Eze-Breeze rollers wear faster here than in coastal climates. We recommend cleaning the tracks seasonally and replacing rollers at the first sign of stiffness. That’s a $180 – $450 per panel service, and it extends the life of the enclosure significantly. Call (559) 785-2712 to schedule track maintenance.
PGT WinGuard and SpectraGuard products carry solid insulating performance ratings, but windows alone won’t fully offset a 1950s Selma home with empty wall cavities. What PGT units do is stop the biggest heat gain pathway: the glass. In a home without wall insulation, upgrading windows to modern PGT insulated glass units makes a noticeable difference in indoor comfort and cooling load, especially on south-facing and west-facing exposures that get hammered by Selma’s afternoon sun. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll assess which windows deliver the biggest comfort gain for your house.
Sometimes. Older Selma bungalows often have stucco that meets the window frame directly, without a trim casing. When we pull an old window and set a new PGT WinGuard unit, the stucco edge can crack or chip, especially if the original opening is out of square and we’re reframing. We plan for that in the written estimate, so the stucco repair is included, not a surprise change order. You’ll know the full scope and price before we start. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free estimate.
