Raisin-capital history and homes from the 1980s
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 estimates, the median home in Selma was built in 1983. About 60 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied and about 70 percent of all homes are detached houses, with roughly one in ten homes in buildings of 50 or more units. A door installed in the early 1980s has often seen a second or third set of springs, and its opener is likely past its first replacement.
Wikipedia says Selma began as a Southern Pacific stop in the 1870s, incorporated in 1893 and adopted the slogan Raisin Capital of the World in 1963. State Route 99 became a freeway in the 1960s and runs through the oldest residential neighborhood, while Floral Avenue is the main east-west street to the freeway exit. We could not verify any homeowners association or gated community.
Tell us the cross street and whether the door is an older single, a two-car door or part of a rental, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing springs and add a battery backup when an opener is replaced.

What customers say
Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
They were able to come within a few hours of my call. Another company could only give me a 4 hour window of arrival time the next day, but these guys was able to give me a 2 hour window the same day. One the guys called before arriving. He was friendly and competent in explaining the problem and our options. I was so grateful he had replacement springs and was able to fix our garage door in less than an hour.David · Google review
Not paying attention I closed the garage door on a pipe laying in the track. Needless to say it did some damage even though the automatic reverse opened the door back up. Emailed what happened on Sunday evening. Appointment with quote provided in just a few minutes and appointment confirmed. Once again they arrived on time. Completed repairs quickly and for less then the quote. Cleaned up like they were never there. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my garage door repairs.Carroll · Google review
Technician showed up on time, assessed our issue & presented replacement options. He proceeded to install new equipment during the same visit and everything was finished in less than two hours. We were impressed with the performance of our tech. It’s easy for us to recommend this company.Kathleen · Google review
The replacement of my broken spring was done quickly and professionaly. I was also provided an explanation on why the tension was set as it was. I was called in advance to be informed of the arrival time. Great job as it has been in the pastFrancine · Google review
My garage door spring broke the other evening and I was unable to open my door. I contacted them first thing the next day. They were able to give me an appointment for later in that day. The service technician called prior to arrival as promised & arrived shortly afterwards. He recommended some additional service to the door in addition to the springs which I accepted. The door was repaired in less than 2 hours & now works better than ever. Thank youBrandi · Google review
Great to work with, gave us good advise and very knowledgeable with garage door springs . We could not find anyone to do our repair ASAP as it was a small project, but that did not matter to them. They traveled 2 hours to get the work done. Tech who did our repair was very personable, fast and did an excellent job.Theresa · Google review

What Selma weather does to a garage door
We found no Selma weather station, so these figures are regional: Fresno Yosemite International Airport, about 16 miles northwest, with 1991-2020 normals on Wikipedia. The July average high is 97.7 degrees, the January average high is 55.4, and the record high is 115, set in July 1905. Annual rain is about 11 inches, and August averages none. Dry summer heat dries out rubber seals and weather stripping.
ABC30 reported a record 64 days at or above 100 degrees in Fresno by Labor Day 2021, which is the kind of summer the valley floor sees. Tule fog forms on calm, clear nights after rain, usually from late December to February, with advisories for visibility of 200 feet or less, according to GV Wire. On October 11, 2021, the National Weather Service forecast gusts to 45 mph across the valley. We found no Selma-specific wind or outage record.
Check the weather seal and the corners of the door before summer. In foggy weeks, wipe the sensor lenses clean, and twice a year, oil the rollers and hinges.
- Check the bottom seal before summer
- Wipe sensor lenses in fog
- Oil rollers and hinges twice a year

Battery backup, permits and design rules in Selma
Battery backup. California requires a battery backup on residential garage door openers sold or installed in the state (Health and Safety Code section 19892). A new door cannot be connected to an older opener that lacks one. See opener installation.
Design rules. Planned communities and historic overlays can limit door style and color. Ask before you choose a new door: new garage doors.
City permits. Selma is its own city, so its rules come from the City of Selma, not Fresno. The Building Permit Counter is at 1710 Tucker Street and its number is (559) 891-2208, open Monday to Friday, 8 am to noon and 1 to 5 pm. The Building page says a permit is required whenever a building or an electrical, plumbing or mechanical system is erected, altered, repaired or demolished, and it links a work-exempt-from-permits handout that we did not read. Garage doors and openers are not named, so we could not confirm a garage-door-specific rule. Call the counter before the work. Permits are applied for through the city's online portal.
Other rules. We could not verify any hillside, historic district or fire hazard zone rule for Selma, which is flat Central Valley land. If you rent, ask your landlord before work begins.

Selma garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Selma?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Selma (ZIP 93662) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (213) 340-4232, tell us your street or neighborhood and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. See garage door repair near me.
What is the average price to repair a garage door in Selma?
Typical prices: a 12-point safety inspection is $89, a torsion spring pair for a standard two-car door is $250 to $450 (heavy-duty springs $350 to $900), a cable pair is $175 to $350, and a belt-drive opener installed with battery backup is $550 to $900. The final price is confirmed after we see the door.
What is the most common garage door repair in Selma?
Broken torsion springs are among the most common garage door repairs, because springs wear out after a set number of open-and-close cycles. Cables, rollers, safety sensors and off-track doors follow. See garage door spring repair.
How much is a service call for a garage door?
Our 12-point safety inspection is $89. It covers the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors and opener, and we explain what we find before any repair starts.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
A repair is usually cheaper when the door itself is sound and only a spring, cable, roller or sensor failed. Replacement makes sense when panels are bent or rotted, the door is very old or the opening needs a different size. We tell you which one fits before we start.
Which ZIP code do you serve in Selma?
Selma homes use ZIP code 93662. We also serve nearby Kingsburg, Fowler, Sanger and Fresno, so call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Does a garage door replacement in Selma need a permit?
We could not confirm a garage-door-specific permit rule for Selma. The city says a permit is required when a structure or a system is altered or repaired, and it has a handout on exempt work that we did not read. Call the Selma Building Permit Counter at (559) 891-2208 to ask about your job.
How does hot weather affect my garage door in Selma?
Dry heat above 100 degrees ages rubber seals and thins lubricant, and a door that has been in use since the 1980s may have springs near the end of their rating. Oil the rollers and hinges before summer, and call us if the door is slow, noisy or uneven.
Can a handyman fix a garage door?
A handyman can often handle a simple job such as a sensor or a roller. Springs and cables are under high tension and need a trained technician, so call us for those.
Does California require a battery backup on a garage door opener?
Yes. California Health and Safety Code section 19892 says residential openers sold or installed in the state need a battery backup, and a replacement garage door cannot be connected to an older residential opener that lacks one.
Do you also repair gates in Selma?
Yes. See gate repair and electric gate repair.
