Elite Hanford Sunrooms & Patios builds screen rooms, patio enclosures, and sunrooms for Selma homeowners. We have served communities along the Highway 99 corridor since 2020, and we reply to every new inquiry within one business day.
Selma sits in the middle of raisin grape country, and the dust from the surrounding vineyards and fields blows through the city all summer. A quality screen room installation keeps air moving freely across your patio while blocking the insects and agricultural dust that make outdoor evenings uncomfortable from May through October.
The ranch-style homes that make up most of Selma's housing stock typically have rear concrete patios that sit unused through the hottest months. Enclosing that slab with glass or screen panels creates a shaded, protected space without the cost of new foundation work - an efficient upgrade for a home built in the 1960s or 1970s.
Many Selma homes were built with modest square footage and no dedicated flex space. A sunroom addition attached to the back of the house adds a conditioned room that works as a home office, playroom, or gathering space without requiring the cost and disruption of a full interior addition.
Selma summers exceed 100 degrees for long stretches, and the tule fog that settles in December through February makes uninsulated spaces cold and damp. A four season sunroom with low-e glass and climate control gives Selma homeowners a room they will actually use regardless of the month.
A solid patio cover is the fastest way to make a Selma backyard usable on a hot afternoon. It blocks direct sun without the cost or permit requirements of a full enclosure, and it can be built over an existing concrete slab in a few days.
Vinyl frames hold up well in Selma's climate because they do not rust from winter moisture or warp from summer heat the way wood-framed structures can. For homeowners who want a low-maintenance enclosure that will not require repainting or refinishing every few years, vinyl is a sensible choice for Central Valley conditions.
The clay soils that run under most of Selma absorb water during the rainy season and then shrink as the ground dries through summer. That seasonal movement - wet expansion followed by dry contraction - is why concrete slabs in this part of Fresno County crack and shift over time. A contractor building a screen room or enclosure on an existing Selma patio needs to assess the slab condition first, because a structure built on a compromised base will develop frame problems no matter how good the materials are. This is not a concern that shows up in the brochure, but it is the difference between a project that holds up for fifteen years and one that needs repair in three.
Most homes in Selma were built between the 1950s and 1990s - a range that covers everything from original downtown-area bungalows to the tract ranch homes that filled in the surrounding blocks through the 1970s and 1980s. The newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town have homes built in the 1990s through 2010s, which are now reaching the age where builder-grade exterior materials need replacing. Stucco exteriors are the norm here, and they require proper sealing where new structures connect to the existing walls. Getting that detail right prevents moisture from working behind the stucco over time - a problem that is common when contractors are not familiar with Central Valley construction standards.
Our crew works throughout Selma regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Selma is a city of about 24,000 people in Fresno County, best known as the self-described Raisin Capital of the World, with vineyards and processing operations that shape the local economy and the air quality throughout the growing and harvest seasons. Highway 99 runs directly through the city, making Selma easily accessible from both Fresno to the north and Visalia to the south.
We pull permits from the City of Selma Building Division and are familiar with what residential sunroom and enclosure projects require for approval. The older neighborhoods near downtown High Street and the newer subdivisions on the north side of town have different site conditions - older blocks tend to have mature trees with root systems that can affect slab edges, while newer areas often have more recently poured concrete that is in better shape but may still show movement from the clay base. We account for both when planning a project.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Sanger to the northeast and Kingsburg to the south. Calling us for a Selma project connects you with a crew that is familiar with the area - not someone making their first trip to Fresno County.
We reply to all Selma inquiries within one business day. You do not need drawings or measurements - just tell us what you have and what you want to add, and we go from there.
We come to your Selma property, look at the existing space and slab, and provide a written estimate at no cost. We cover the cost question at this visit so there are no surprises later.
Once you approve the estimate, we file the permit with the City of Selma and order materials. We handle the permit process and update you on timing as it moves forward.
Most Selma projects are complete within two to four weeks of construction start. We do a final walkthrough with you before we leave to confirm everything is right.

(559) 794-9948Selma is a city of about 24,000 people in Fresno County, sitting along Highway 99 roughly 15 miles south of downtown Fresno. The city calls itself the Raisin Capital of the World - a title grounded in the surrounding farmland, which produces a significant share of the country's raisin grape crop. The community has a strong agricultural identity, and the annual Raisin Festival is one of the most visible local traditions. Selma's housing stock is primarily single-story ranch homes on lots of 6,000 to 8,000 square feet, with stucco exteriors that are standard across this part of the Central Valley. The older blocks near downtown High Street include homes from the 1920s and 1930s alongside the more common 1960s and 1970s ranch houses. For more background on the city, the Selma Wikipedia page covers its history and geography in detail.
The newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town - built from the 1990s through the early 2010s - have larger floor plans and more recent construction, but are now reaching the age where exterior materials and concrete flatwork need attention. Roughly 55 to 60 percent of Selma's occupied housing units are owner-occupied, which means there is a steady base of homeowners invested in their properties over the long term. Nearby communities we also serve include Fresno to the north and Kingsburg to the south along the 99 corridor.
