Most roof repairs in Selma run between $275 and $1,400 depending on what failed. A simple vent boot replacement sits at the low end; a valley rebuild with new flashing and decking sits at the top. We answer the phone 24 hours a day at (945) 303-9821, and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins, not after we’re on the ladder.
We know Selma’s roofs. The ranch homes off Floral Avenue, the tracts near Selma High, the older streets around Lincoln Elementary. These houses were built to shelter farm families, and forty to seventy years later, they’re asking for real attention. Our Roof Repair crews live and work in this part of the Valley. When you call about a leak over the kitchen, we know what’s likely causing it before we pull the truck up.

Storm Damage Roof Repair in Selma
Storm damage roof repair in Selma usually means one of three things: wind-lifted shingles after a spring gust front, water intrusion from a winter storm that found a weak seam, or heat-related failure that finally opened up during monsoon season. Most wind-lift repairs run $325 to $850. If decking is compromised, expect $900 to $1,600.
The San Joaquin Valley doesn’t get hurricanes, but it does get sudden downbursts and thirty-mile-an-hour sustained winds that find every loose shingle on a roof. On older Selma homes with 3-tab shingles, wind uplift is relentless. Once one shingle lifts, the next storm gets under it like a pry bar and the damage compounds fast.
What We Check After a Storm
We walk the entire roof, not just the spot you saw from the ground. We check ridge caps, drip edge, and every pipe boot. Lifted shingles get re-secured with proper roofing nails and sealant. Missing ones get matched replacements.
When the Damage Is Under the Surface
Sometimes the shingles look fine but the underlayment is failing, or the decking has gone soft from water that got in months ago. Greg Holloway’s crews will pull back the affected area and show you exactly what we found before we touch anything else. No surprises, no change orders at the door.
Metal Roof Repair in Selma
Metal roof repair in Selma typically costs $400 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re resealing seams, replacing rusted panels, or rebuilding a flashing detail. Standing-seam roofs and metal patio covers are common on Selma’s mid-century homes and agricultural buildings, and they fail in predictable ways here.
The real enemy of Selma metal is corrosion. Sulfur dust from vineyard treatments settles on the panels, tule fog adds moisture, and the combination forms a mildly acidic film that eats at fasteners and flashing. Galvanized screws rust out in five to eight years. We replace them with stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized hardware rated for this exact exposure.
Seam Repair and Panel Replacement
Older metal roofs often leak at the seams where sealant has dried and cracked under the Valley sun. We remove the failed sealant, clean the seam, and apply a marine-grade butyl sealant that flexes with thermal movement. Panels rusted through get cut out and replaced.
Re-Coating and Fastener Retrofit
For metal roofs with widespread surface rust but intact structure, we can wire-brush, prime, and apply an elastomeric coating in Selma’s heat, which actually helps it cure faster. Every exposed fastener gets upgraded. The goal is a roof that survives the next twenty harvest seasons, not the next five.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We specify materials from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. On Selma roofs, we lean toward algae-resistant products from Atlas and GAF because the tule fog and vineyard dust here feed biological growth faster than almost anywhere in the Valley. Tamko’s heavier architectural shingles handle the thermal swings well. We stock common repair components locally and can usually start a smaller Selma job within a few days of your estimate. You get genuine product choice, not whatever brand happened to be on the truck.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Rusted drip edge and flashing from harvest dust. The fine grape and sulfur dust that settles on Selma rooftops every August and September doesn’t just sit there. It mixes with fog moisture into a mildly acidic slurry that eats through galvanized steel at the roof edges and around chimneys. We replace rusted drip edge with aluminum or hot-dip galvanized stock on almost every repair.
- Algae streaking and granule loss on north-facing slopes. Tule fog lingers for days on Selma’s north slopes, and the organic vineyard dust feeds the algae. Within five to seven years, many homeowners see dark streaks and loosening granules long before the roof’s rated lifespan is up.
- Thermal cracking in shingles from 105°F+ summer heat. Selma’s summer temperatures bake asphalt shingles until they become brittle. The heat causes curling, cracking, and wind uplift. A roof that looks ten years old may only be six.
- Failed pipe boots and vent flashings. The rubber gaskets around plumbing vents and exhaust pipes crack faster here because of the heat and the acidic dust. They’re an inexpensive fix at $175 to $300, but left alone, they become ceiling stains and drywall damage.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Selma
Selma sits inside the raisin grape belt, and the late-summer harvest leaves organic dust on rooftops that acts like fertilizer. When winter tule fog settles in and lingers for days, that moisture plus the dust creates ideal conditions for algae growth on north-facing slopes. Homes in Fresno proper get less of the agricultural particulate, so biological growth takes longer to appear. An annual gutter and roof cleaning just before harvest season is the single best preventive step for Selma homeowners.
Every August and September, vineyard treatments and field-dried raisin production put sulfur dust and grape particulate into the air, and it settles on your roof. On its own, it’s debris. Mixed with fog moisture over several months, it creates a mildly acidic film that attacks metal flashing, drip edge, and fasteners while also clogging gutters and trapping moisture against the roof deck. We recommend a pre-harvest inspection to clean and seal vulnerable areas before the dust settles again.
The best repair approach for a metal roof in Selma is to stop the corrosion cycle. We remove failed sealant, replace rusted screws with stainless steel fasteners, and use marine-grade sealant on seams and flashings. Where surface rust is widespread but the panels are still sound, we clean, prime, and apply an elastomeric coating. The key is upgrading the hardware so the sulfur dust and fog don’t eat through the same spots in another five years. Expect to pay $400 to $1,800 depending on the scope.
Unfortunately, yes. Selma regularly hits 105°F or more in summer, and that sustained heat accelerates UV degradation and thermal cracking in asphalt shingles. Add the harvest dust and fog moisture to the mix, and a shingle rated for thirty years may show cracking and curling inside seven. If the roof is only seven years old and already failing, it’s worth having us check whether the original installation used adequate ventilation and whether the shingles were appropriate for the Valley heat. Call (945) 303-9821 for an exact assessment; estimates are free.
A “square” in roofing is 100 square feet of roof surface. Most Selma repair jobs cover one to three squares, though full replacements run twenty to thirty squares for an average ranch home. It matters because pricing, material quantities, and labor estimates are all calculated per square, and because partial repairs must blend with the remaining roof. We’ll show you the square count in your written estimate so the math is clear. For an exact quote on your home, call (945) 303-9821.
We were called to a 1960s ranch near Floral Avenue where the homeowner had re-roofed just six years prior. The north-facing slope was already streaked with black algae, and the 3-tab shingles were curling at the edges. When we pulled the ridge vent, we found the original decking had soft spots from trapped vineyard dust and fog moisture, and the drip edge was rusted through. We replaced the damaged decking, installed a self-adhering ice and water shield in the valleys, upgraded to algae-resistant architectural shingles with stainless steel starter strip and hot-dip galvanized flashing, and added a ridge vent with external baffle to improve airflow. The homeowner now schedules an annual pre-harvest gutter cleaning to prevent the same issue. That’s the kind of local diagnosis you only get from roofers who understand what Selma’s harvest season actually does to a roof.
