ViewLux Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We’re an independent Selma construction crew that services ViewLux windows, doors, and skylights across the city. Most Selma homes with ViewLux components were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means we’re often dealing with aging seals, warped sashes, and weatherstripping that’s given up under decades of Central Valley sun. What makes our ViewLux work different here is simple: we fix the component and the surrounding roof flashing or adjacent substrate in the same visit, because in Selma those two problems usually show up together. Call (559) 785-2712 for a straight answer and a written price.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for ViewLux Service
We’ve been working on ViewLux-equipped homes across the Central Valley long enough to know the failure patterns by heart. A VW-2000 slider that binds in August? That’s thermal cycling and dust. A fogged VW-4000 picture window on the south wall? UV-baked seal failure, same as we see on older homes west of the tracks in Selma. We carry OEM ViewLux parts when they’re still available, and when a model’s been discontinued we source aftermarket equivalents that match the original spec, not whatever’s cheapest at the supply house. Curtis Lane, our owner at Selma General Contractor, grew up learning framing and finish work from his uncle before formal training at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s spent over two decades on Central Valley job sites, and he’s the one who set our rule about writing the price down before any work starts. You won’t get a reprice at the door from us.

Common ViewLux Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Fogged or cracked insulated glass on ViewLux windows. Selma’s summer sun sits over 100°F for days at a stretch, and on south-facing exposures that heat degrades the edge seals on dual-pane units. Once the seal fails, argon leaks out and condensation fogs the glass from inside. We replace the insulated glass unit rather than the whole frame when the sash is still square.
- Warped or binding vinyl sashes on VW-2000 sliders. This is the most common ViewLux call we get in Selma. Fine dust from surrounding farmland gets into the tracks, and the thermal cycling between 40°F winter nights and 105°F summer afternoons slowly warps the vinyl. A sash that won’t slide or lock is a security issue and an energy leak.
- Failed balances on older VW-1000 single-hung windows. These windows were installed in a lot of Selma’s 1960s and 1970s ranch homes. The coil balances wear out, and the sash drops hard when you try to open it. It’s a dangerous failure, especially for anyone reaching across a kitchen counter. We replace the balance assembly with the correct weight rating for the sash.
- Leaking VS-800 and VS-900 skylights in winter. Selma’s wet season is short but it’s heavy. After years of UV exposure, the exterior gasket on older ViewLux skylights goes brittle and cracks. The first real rain of the season finds its way through. The skylight itself might be fine; the flashing around it is usually the actual culprit.
- Deteriorated weatherstripping on VD-500 entry doors and VD-600 patios. Selma homes deal with dust all year, and that dust acts like sandpaper on foam and felt door seals. Once weatherstripping is compressed and dust-impregnated, outside air pushes in around the door and cooling bills climb through July and August. We replace the seal with a commercial-grade material rated for high-temperature environments.
ViewLux Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The historic neighborhoods west of the railroad tracks in Selma have a specific problem you won’t hear a Fresno or Madera Kitchen Remodeling - Selma contractor talk about the same way. Those homes often have original ViewLux windows set into walls below aging clay tile roofs. When a window seal fails or flashing lifts, water doesn’t just run down the glass. It follows the path of least resistance into the roof decking, and then into ceiling drywall below. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the actual entry point might be eight feet away at the window flange or a cracked tile valley. Our crews look at both in the same visit. We pull the affected window trim, inspect the substrate, re-flash the window, and repair the adjacent roof valley in one trip. Most out-of-town contractors fix the window and leave the roof, or fix the roof and never check the window. In Selma, that’s a callback waiting to happen.
ViewLux Models & Products We Service in Selma
We work on the full ViewLux residential line: VW-1000 Single Hung, VW-2000 Slider, VW-3000 Casement, and VW-4000 Picture windows. For doors, that’s the VD-500 Entry and VD-600 Patio Slider. We also repair and re-flash the VS-800 Fixed and VS-900 Venting skylights. When we replace glass or hardware, we use OEM ViewLux parts when they’re still in production. For discontinued models, we source aftermarket equivalents that match the original dimensions, glass package, and finish rather than forcing a homeowner into a full replacement. We also carry common weatherstripping profiles, balance assemblies, and insulated glass units in our Fresno shop, which means a Selma job doesn’t get delayed while we wait on a freight shipment.

FAQs – ViewLux Construction in Selma
In most cases we can replace just the insulated glass unit and keep your existing frame, as long as the sash and frame are still square and structurally sound. We only recommend full replacement when the frame itself is warped, rotted, or the balance system has failed beyond repair.
Selma and Fresno share the same climate, but Selma’s older housing stock means more original-installation ViewLux windows with 20- to 40-year-old seals, and more exposure to agricultural dust during harvest months. The combination of intense UV, high heat, and fine dust accelerates seal and weatherstripping failure here in a way newer Fresno developments don’t experience. Call (559) 785-2712 for an exact assessment.
If the glazing is intact and the frame isn’t cracked, the leak is almost always in the flashing or the exterior gasket, not the skylight itself. Repairing and re-flashing is typically $400 to $1,800, while full replacement runs significantly higher. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense after we inspect it. Estimates are free.
Yes. We match frame color, glass package, grid pattern, and profile as closely as the current ViewLux line allows. If your original series is discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current equivalent and note any differences before you approve anything.
It’s common, but it’s not something you should live with. Heat expansion and dust in the track can cause the door slab to shift just enough that the strike plate and latch no longer line up. We adjust the hinges, clean and lubricate the track, and replace worn weatherstripping so the door locks with one hand. It’s a quick fix and it usually costs less than people expect. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll take a look.
