AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Selma
Brennan Roofing handles roof repair, replacement, and inspection across Selma, CA, with written pricing before any work starts. Most Selma homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s, and the original 1×6 skip sheathing under those roofs changes how a re-roof has to be scoped and quoted. We dispatch background-checked, uniformed technicians to Selma from our Fresno, Central Valley office, and you’ll speak to a live person when you call (361) 320-9467, day or night.
Why Brennan Roofing Is Selma’s Preferred Roofing Company
Selma homeowners aren’t looking for the lowest bid. They’re looking for a roofer who shows up, writes the price down, and stands behind the work for a full year. That’s the Garrison Standard here at Brennan Roofing, and it’s the same on every single job we run in Selma. Our crews know the older ranch homes east of Highway 99, the bungalows along the downtown grid, and the ag outbuildings on the city’s edges. They know what a fog-season condensation leak looks like versus a rain leak, and they quote accordingly.
We’ve earned our reputation in Selma by doing what we say we’ll do. The price goes on paper before any work begins, and it does not move at the door. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s on your roof. And if something isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it at no charge, in writing, for one full year.
Roof Coating in Selma
Roof coating in Selma is a practical way to extend the life of older low-pitch roofs and metal outbuildings without a full tear-off. A reflective coating on a flat or gently sloped roof cuts surface heat in those 100°F-plus summer afternoons, and a properly applied elastomeric coating seals hairline cracks before they become leaks. On Selma’s older homes, especially the ranch and bungalow stock with original rolled roofing or aging composition shingles, coating can buy years of service life. Typical roof coating jobs in Selma run $2,500 to $7,500 depending on roof size, surface prep, and whether existing cracks need reinforcement fabric first.
Coating Prep on Older Selma Decks
Skip sheathing and old rolled roofing don’t take coating the way a modern solid deck does. Our crews inspect for soft spots, clean the surface, and prime before any coating goes down. Where the deck is too far gone, we’ll say so plainly and give you the comparison: re-deck and coat versus replace. Either way, the number is in writing before we start.
Metal Outbuilding Coatings
Selma’s packing sheds and barns carry corrugated metal that expands and contracts hard under valley sun and winter fog. A shingle-style sealant fails there. We use metal-rated primers and elastomeric coatings that flex with that thermal movement, and the fasteners get replaced with ones spec’d for metal to stop rust bleed from underneath.
Free Roof Estimate in Selma
A free roof estimate in Selma from Brennan Roofing means a written, line-item price before any work starts. We measure the roof, count squares, check the decking condition, look at ventilation, and walk the property. Then we hand you the number on paper. It doesn’t change at the door. For most Selma homes, a full asphalt shingle re-roof runs $11,000 to $19,000, and a repair typically runs $450 to $1,800 depending on what we find. Tile and metal run higher; we’ll show you the line items so you can see exactly where the money goes.
What We Check Before Quoting
On a Selma quote, the first thing we look for is whether the roof sits on original 1×6 skip sheathing. That one fact changes the scope more than anything else in this town. We also check attic ventilation, because the fog-season condensation problem is what actually keeps Selma ceilings stained long after the rain stops.
Square Counts and Written Numbers
We measure every plane of the roof with a wheel, not a guess, and we show you the square count on the quote sheet. You’ll see material squares, labor, decking replacement, underlayment, and disposal as separate lines. That’s how a disciplined quote works. Call (361) 320-9467 to schedule your free estimate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We install materials from leading manufacturer lines including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Selma’s older homes, we frequently recommend GAF architectural shingles over a new nail-base on skip sheathing, and Atlas for homeowners who want a heavier, impact-rated option. We don’t push one brand. We explain the difference in plain terms and let you choose with confidence. The price of each option goes on paper before any work begins, so you’re deciding on facts, not a sales pitch.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Skip sheathing quoted wrong. A roofer who treats a pre-1970 Selma roof like a modern plywood deck will underbid the job, then hit you with a change order when they realize they need a nail-base to install architectural shingles to spec. We check the deck before we quote, so the number you get is the number you pay.
- Winter condensation leaks mistaken for rain leaks. Selma gets more ceiling stains from tule fog condensing in poorly vented attics than from actual rainfall. The fix is ventilation and decking correction, not just new shingles. We look for it on every older home we quote.
- Wrong fasteners on metal outbuildings. Corrugated metal on Selma’s barns and packing sheds expands and contracts through a 50-degree daily swing in summer. Shingle nails and standard sealant fail fast. We use metal-rated fasteners and flexible sealants that move with the panel.
- Seismic connections ignored on raised foundations. Adding heavier modern roofing onto an older raised-foundation home changes the load path. We check roof-to-wall connections and sheathing attachment on every re-roof in Selma, because the valley is in a moderate seismic zone and the extra weight has to be anchored correctly.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Selma, CA
Selma’s roofing market has a specific cost profile, and it’s driven mostly by decking condition. A straightforward asphalt shingle re-roof over sound decking runs $11,000 to $16,000 on a typical 1,400 to 1,800 square foot ranch home. If the roof sits on original skip sheathing and needs a nail-base or full re-deck, expect $16,000 to $21,000, because materials and labor go up meaningfully. Metal roofing on a Selma home runs $22,000 to $38,000. Tile runs $25,000 to $45,000. Repairs on a specific leak or damaged section run $450 to $1,800. These are real ranges from jobs we’ve quoted in Selma, not national averages. Call (361) 320-9467 to get your written estimate, and we’ll show you exactly which of these conditions apply to your roof.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Selma
Yes, often it does. Most pre-1970 Selma homes sit on original 1×6 skip sheathing, which has gaps between the boards. Modern architectural shingles require a solid nailing surface, so we typically need to add a nail-base or full decking before the shingles go on. That adds materials and labor, typically pushing a re-roof from the $11,000 to $16,000 range up to the $16,000 to $21,000 range. A roofer who doesn’t check the deck first will quote the cheaper number and then change it mid-job. We check before we quote. Call (361) 320-9467 for a written number specific to your roof.
The culprit is usually condensation, not rain. During the cool, damp winter months, tule fog keeps roof surfaces wet for days, and warm air rising into a poorly ventilated attic condenses on the underside of the roof deck. That moisture soaks the decking and stains ceilings. On Selma’s older homes, especially near the downtown corridor where wood shake was often covered with a single layer of shingles and no intake vents were added, this is the repeating leak pattern we see most. The fix is ventilation correction: ridge vent, soffit intake, and sometimes decking repair. New shingles alone won’t stop it. Call (361) 320-9467 if your ceiling stains return every winter.
Yes, we do. A large share of Selma’s roofing work is on agricultural outbuildings: corrugated metal barns and packing sheds on the city’s edges and the surrounding raisin-belt parcels. Those roofs require different fasteners and sealants than shingle roofs because metal expands and contracts through Selma’s daily temperature swings. We stock metal-rated fasteners and flexible sealants for exactly this work, and the same written pricing and one-year guarantee apply to an ag building as to a house. Call (361) 320-9467 for a quote on your outbuilding.
We measure every roof plane with a wheel and note the square count on your quote sheet. A square is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the unit materials and labor are priced in. Our technicians walk the roof, measure each plane, and write the count down in front of you. You’ll see the number on the line-item quote, so there’s no ambiguity about material quantity. That’s the Garrison Standard: the price goes on paper before any work begins, and the square count is part of it.
We install materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For most Selma homes, we recommend GAF architectural shingles over a corrected deck and ventilation system, because they hold up well to the valley’s intense summer heat. For homeowners who want a heavier, more impact-resistant option, Atlas is a solid choice. We’ll explain the differences and show you the price of each brand in writing before you decide. Call (361) 320-9467 to get your options on paper.
Building on Acreage Around Selma
A lot of roofing work in Selma sits outside city limits, on acreage parcels that carry county rules. That changes how a job gets scoped and quoted. County permitting has different trigger points than city permitting, and setback requirements for septic and well lines can limit where equipment and material can be staged. We account for that in the estimate. On an open lot, grading and drainage matter too; a roof that dumps water into a low spot near the foundation creates problems the shingles didn’t cause.
Outbuildings, shops, and detached ADUs often get treated as afterthoughts by roofers, but in Selma they’re usually the oldest structures on the property and the most likely to carry original skip sheathing or aging corrugated metal. We scope them separately and quote them honestly. Long material hauls and equipment access on rural parcels can also add cost; we factor that in before you see the number, not after the job starts.
On a pre-1960 ranch home near the downtown corridor, our crew found the original wood shake had been covered over with a single layer of composition shingles and no intake vents. Winter tule fog condensation was soaking the decking from underneath. We added a nail-base over the skip sheathing, laid ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, set new ridge vent and soffit intake to dry the attic, and finished with architectural shingles and a new drip edge. The homeowner’s recurring ceiling stains stopped after the first wet season. In the same stretch of town, we repaired corrugated metal on a packing shed using fasteners and sealants rated for the different expansion rate of metal, not shingle products.
That’s the thing about roofing in Selma: the local substrate is the project. Most roofs here sit on original 1×6 skip sheathing built for wood shake or roll roofing, so a re-roof often requires adding solid decking or a nail-base before modern architectural shingles can be installed to spec. That’s why a Selma quote can price differently than a tear-off on modern plywood sheathing in newer Fresno tracts. We scope the deck, the ventilation, the fasteners, and the connections before we give you the number. And we’ll put that number in writing, before any work starts, and stand behind it for one full year.
