A roof repair in Selma typically runs $350 – $900 for a standard leak or flashing fix and $250 – $600 for shingle replacement on most single-story homes.

We coordinate dispatch from our Fresno office, so a Selma call gets answered by a live person 24/7 and a background-checked, uniformed technician shows up inside the promised window. Call (559) 785-2160 when you need a roof looked at, not when you need a sales pitch.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Fresno Is Selma’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We know what Selma roofs actually look like when you peel back the shingles. The city’s pre-1950 bungalows and ranch-style homes were framed and decked in a way nobody builds anymore, and most roofing companies from outside the area will hand you a quote without ever accounting for what’s underneath. That’s how homeowners end up with a number that changes the moment the crew opens the roof.
Our Roof Repair team works in Selma regularly and has walked roofs along Rose Avenue, through the neighborhoods east of Highway 99, and around the older blocks near downtown where the worst decking rot hides. We don’t guess. We inspect, confirm what’s failing, and put the price on paper. That number does not move at the door, and it’s guaranteed for a full year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Every technician who arrives at a Selma home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s on your roof, and the crew lead has the authority to make the call if a repair scope needs to widen. Phones ring to a live person around the clock. Travis Oakley runs the work under the Garrison Standard, and the standard is the same on every Selma job, whether it’s a small vent boot or a full valley rebuild.
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Roof Repair in Selma
Commercial Roof Repair in Selma is a different animal from residential work, mostly because the roof systems are different. Flat and low-slope commercial roofs with modified bitumen or TPO membrane leak differently than shingle roofs, and the repair has to account for ponding water, failed seam welds, and mechanical penetrations from HVAC equipment. Selma’s packing sheds, warehouses, and strip retail buildings along Highway 99 and the rail corridor take a beating from summer heat, and membrane seams are usually the first thing to fail.
A commercial roof repair in Selma generally runs $800 – $2,400 depending on penetration count, membrane condition, and square footage affected. That’s an honest range. If the membrane is advanced in age and has multiple failing seams, the cost pushes toward the top and sometimes warrants a larger discussion, but that’s a conversation we’ll have face to face after an inspection, not a phone guess.
Low-slope and flat roof membrane repairs
Selma commercial buildings with older TPO or modified bitumen roofs often show seam separation at the exact points where rooftop units sit or where parapet walls meet the field. Heat-driven expansion pulls the seam welds apart over time, and the failure is rarely visible from the ground. We find the leak source by tracing it from the interior stain, not by guessing at visible roof damage.
Rooftop equipment and penetration sealing
Every penetration through a flat roof is a future leak if the boot, pitch pan, or sealant has aged out. On Selma commercial buildings, we see exhaust fans, gas lines, and conduit penetrations that haven’t been touched since installation. We reset the flashing and re-seal with materials matched to the existing membrane so the repair doesn’t become a recurring charge.
Roof Leak Repair in Selma
Roof Leak Repair in Selma is the most common call we get from homeowners, and in this city it’s almost never a simple missing shingle. Selma’s pre-1950 homes sit on original decking, often 1×6 spaced sheathing rather than solid plywood. When a leak starts, water travels along that spacing and the visible stain on the ceiling is rarely directly below the entry point. Pinpointing the real source takes a physical roof inspection, not a guess from a satellite photo.
A standard roof leak repair in Selma costs $375 – $950. That covers finding the source, replacing failed flashing or shingles, sealing the penetration, and verifying the repair with a water test where practical. If the decking beneath is rotted, that’s a second line item on a written change order, never a surprise added at the end without approval.
Flashing failures at chimneys and vents
On Selma’s older homes with wood framing, the thermal expansion from 100°F-plus summer days literally pulls nails loose over time. We open up the flashing and see nails backed out a quarter inch, sealant dried and cracked, and daylight where metal should overlap. The fix is resetting the flashing and replacing the failed sealant with a proper elastomeric or polyurethane matched to the material below.
Valley and ridge leak tracing
Leaks around valleys and ridge vents on Selma roofs often trace back to original 3-tab shingles that have lost their granules and channeled water under the overlapping courses. Our crew will strip back enough shingle to see the underlayment condition, then rebuild the valley with new ice and water shield and metal flashing so the repair holds through the next heavy winter rain.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
Brennan Roofing installs and repairs roofing from GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, so when you need shingle replacement on a Selma home we can match the existing look without forcing you into a material you didn’t choose. We stock the common shingle colors and accessory parts locally, which means a straightforward repair doesn’t stall out waiting on a parts order. If your bungalow still has original wood shake or clay tile, we’ll bring matched salvage material where it makes sense and tell you plainly when full replacement is the smarter long-term move. The brand matters less than the installation underneath it, and our crews do the detail work that keeps these roofs tight.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Decking rot hidden under old composition shingle. Decades of Selma heat drive condensation cycles at the ridge vent, and the moisture gets trapped between shingle and sheathing. By the time anyone notices, the 1×6 planks beneath are soft enough to pull through with a finger.
- Flashing that’s pulled loose from original wood framing. Thermal expansion and contraction on a 90-year-old roof frame will back a nail out just far enough to let water ride the gap. Chimney flashing and plumbing boot flashing fail first.
- Original 3-tab shingles losing granules from UV exposure. Selma’s summer sun is relentless. The granules wash into valleys during winter rain, clog the channels, and cause overflow stains along soffit and fascia that homeowners mistake for a shingle problem when it’s actually a valley problem.
- Failed vent boots on steeply pitched ranch roofs. The rubber boot around plumbing stacks dries out and splits in the heat, then cracks open entirely in the first cold snap. It’s one of the cheapest repairs we do and one of the most common causes of water spots on ceilings in Selma kitchens and bathrooms.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Selma
Yes, Selma requires a building permit for roof repairs that go beyond replacing a few shingles, and when you open an old roof, the city’s re-roof inspection will check the sheathing against current code. If your home has the original 1×6 spaced sheathing, you’ll typically need solid decking added before new underlayment can pass inspection. We handle the permit paperwork and include the decking work in our written quote so you know the real number before we start. Call (559) 785-2160 for an exact estimate on your Selma home.
We can often match original wood shake or clay tile with salvaged material sourced from our regional suppliers, but it depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding shakes or tiles. For a small repair patch, matching is practical. When the entire roof is failing, we’ll be straight with you: sometimes replacement with a modern architectural shingle is the better investment, and we’ll show you both options in writing. Call (559) 785-2160 and we’ll come take a look at what you have.
Those original 3-tab shingles from the 1970s were never built for Selma’s kind of heat. UV exposure bakes the asphalt binder until it loses its elasticity, then the shingle curls at the edges and the granules start sloughing off into the gutters and valleys. Once you see dark streaks from the street, the shingles are compromised and the roof should be evaluated before the next winter rain. If you’re near downtown Selma and seeing this, call (559) 785-2160 for a free roof assessment.
It fixes the source, not the symptom. We trace the water path through the roof system, open up the failed flashing or shingle section, and rebuild the area with new underlayment, flashing, and material that matches what’s adjacent. If the decking below has rotted, we sister in new plywood or replace the damaged sections so the repair doesn’t just peel off with the next heavy rain. Every repair is guaranteed in writing for one full year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and if it fails we come back free of charge. Call (559) 785-2160 to get a real fix, not a patch.
A 1,200 square foot home with a steep pitch, like many of the bungalows in Selma’s older neighborhoods, typically has a roof area of 16 to 20 squares once you account for slope factor and overhangs. That’s a real number we can confirm in about fifteen minutes on site, and it matters because every square changes the material and labor cost on a repair or re-roof quote. Call (559) 785-2160 for a free measurement and a written line-item estimate.
