We know Selma roofs because we climb them year-round. The 1920s bungalows north of Rose Avenue, the ranch homes off McCall, the newer tracts east of Highway 99 – each one ages differently under this valley sun. Our Roof Inspection team walks every slope, documents what they find with photos, and gives you a written report the same day. No jargon, no scare tactics, just a straight answer about what your roof needs and what it doesn’t.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Fresno Is Selma’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
Homeowners in Selma call us because the price goes on paper before we set a ladder against the house. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it applies the same way to a $150 inspection on a tract home as it does to a $20,000 re-roof on a 1930s bungalow. Travis Oakley runs our crews to one rule: write it down, shake on it, then do exactly what the paper says.
We’ve inspected roofs throughout Selma’s historic core and the newer subdivisions along Floral Avenue and Highland. What our techs find on a 1970s tract home is different from what they find on a 1925 craftsman, and we price accordingly. The written quote you approve is the price you pay – no add-ons at the door, no “while we’re up there” surprises. Every technician is background-checked and wears a uniform with his name on it. You’ll know who’s on your roof.
Selma’s heat does things to roofing that a salesperson in a truck never sees from the street. We do, because we’re on the roof. That’s the difference.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Inspection Services in Selma
Roof Inspection Services in Selma start with a full walk of every slope, valley, and penetration, followed by a written report with photos and a plain-English summary of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what the repair will cost. For a standard Selma home, expect to pay $150 to $325. Steep pitches, tile roofs, and older homes with multiple additions run higher because the work takes longer and requires more documentation.
What an Inspection Actually Covers
We check the shingles or tile for cracking, curling, and granule loss. We pull back flashing at pipe boots, vents, and chimney crickets to look for failed sealant and rust-through. We test decking for soft spots, especially at valleys where water sits after a storm. We document nail pops, missing fasteners, and skipped starter strip. If there’s a leak, we trace it to the source – not just the stain on the ceiling.

When Selma Homeowners Call Us
Most calls come after a heavy winter storm, a real estate transaction, or when dark streaks start showing on the roof from the street. We also inspect roofs on homes built in the 1970s where the original 3-tab shingles are still in place. Those roofs are at the end of their service life, and a visual check from the ground won’t tell you what’s happening underneath. Our inspection goes deeper.

Hail Damage Roof in Selma
Hail damage roof inspections in Selma run $150 to $325 for the documentation you need to file an insurance claim, including photos, measurements, and a written scope of work. Selma doesn’t get hail every year, but when it comes through, it hits hard. Those rare winter cells can bruise shingles, crack clay tile, and dent metal flashing without leaving a mark you can see from the ground.
What Hail Actually Does to a Selma Roof
Hail hits a shingle and fractures the fiberglass mat underneath the granule layer. The granules wear off over the next few months, and what’s left is a shingle with no weather protection. On clay tile, hail causes hairline fractures at the tile’s weakest point, the overlap. On metal flashings and vents, it leaves dents that eventually rust through. Your roof looks fine for a year or two, then leaks start showing up in odd places.
Working With Your Insurance
If hail has damaged your Selma roof, our inspection gives you the documentation the adjuster needs: dated photos, precise measurements, and a scope of repair written in trade terms. We’ll meet the adjuster on site if you want us there. The price we put on paper is what the repairs cost, and we handle the whole job from repair to final inspection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
Selma homeowners ask for different things: GAF for the warranty, CertainTeed for the color range, Tamko for the price point on a rental. We install and service all three, and we keep the common components in local stock so a repair on a Selma roof isn’t waiting on a truck from out of state. If your roof was built with a brand that’s no longer in production, we’ll match it with a compatible line and tell you exactly why we chose it. Boral tile we handle case-by-case – matching 1930s clay is a different order of work than swapping architectural shingles.

AfterCommon Roof Inspection Problems We See in Selma Homes
- 1970s 3-tab shingles with dark streaks. Those streaks aren’t just cosmetic. They mean granule loss is advanced, and the fiberglass mat underneath is breaking down. On a Selma home that’s been through 50 summers of 100-plus-degree heat, that roof is done – even if there’s no leak yet.
- Failed flashing at pipe boots and chimney crickets. The rubber boot around a plumbing vent cracks in the heat. The metal at a chimney cricket pulls loose. Water gets in slowly, rots the decking under the shingles, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling, you’re replacing wood, not just flashing.
- No underlayment over skip sheathing. Older Selma homes were built when builders nailed shingles directly onto spaced boards. There’s no secondary water barrier. Once a shingle fails, water hits your attic. We flag this on every inspection of pre-1950s construction.
- Curling shingles at the eaves. Selma’s temperature swings – 100 in summer, near freezing on winter mornings – cause shingles to expand and contract. The eaves get the worst of it. Curling there means the seal strip has let go, and the next windstorm lifts them right off.
Pricing for Roof Inspection in Selma, CA
A written roof inspection in Selma costs $150 to $325 for most homes up to 2,500 square feet.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in Selma
Dark streaks on a Selma roof almost always mean advanced granule loss on 3-tab shingles – the UV has broken down the asphalt and the fiberglass mat is exposed. It’s not algae in most cases. It’s a roof at the end of its life. Call (559) 785-2160 and we’ll confirm what you’re looking at.
Steep pitches, multiple roof levels, clay tile or wood shingle materials, and tight access between houses all add time and risk. We have to move slower, use fall protection more often, and document more. Expect $275 to $450 for an older Selma bungalow versus $150 to $250 for a single-story tract home.
An inspection itself doesn’t trigger anything. If the inspection finds damage that needs repair, and the repair is significant enough to fall under Selma’s building code, we pull the permit for you as part of the job. You’ll know before any work starts whether a permit is needed and what it costs.
We source salvaged or matched tile from regional yards that carry period clay profiles, then blend them in from less visible slopes. It takes longer and costs more than a straight replacement, but on a home built in the 1930s, that’s the only way to keep the look. Our inspection includes a tile-by-tile count of what’s cracked, what’s missing, and what can be left alone.
A drone photo shows you the surface. It won’t tell you if the decking is soft at a valley, if the flashing at a pipe boot has failed underneath, or if the underlayment is missing over skip sheathing. We get on the roof, lift the shingles, probe the decking, and pull the flashing. That’s the inspection that catches the $4,000 problem before it becomes a $12,000 one. Call (559) 785-2160 to schedule yours.
