Serving Tulare, CA and surrounding areas. (559) 837-6805
Tulare Deck and Fence is a licensed deck builder serving Selma, CA with composite deck installation, wood fencing, and custom outdoor living projects. We have worked in Selma for years and respond to new requests within one business day.
Composite decking holds up far better than wood under Selma's triple-digit summer heat, and it does not require annual sealing or staining. Our composite deck installation service gives Selma homeowners a low-maintenance outdoor space built to last for decades.
Most homes in Selma sit on open lots where backyard privacy is limited - a wood privacy fence changes that quickly. We use materials rated for the dry, sun-heavy Central Valley climate so your fence holds its shape and finish year after year.
Selma summers make uncovered outdoor spaces unusable for months at a time. Adding a patio cover or attached covered deck creates a shaded area you can actually use through the hot season without retreating indoors.
Pool ownership is common in Selma because the summers demand it. A properly built pool deck with slip-resistant surfaces and good drainage keeps your family safe and your pool surround looking clean through years of heavy use.
A freestanding pergola gives Selma backyards structure and shade without requiring a full roofed addition. Combined with climbing plants or a shade sail, a pergola can cut ground-level temperatures noticeably during peak summer heat.
Older decks on Selma homes have often taken years of sun damage, and the clay soil movement here causes posts and footings to shift. If your deck feels soft, sways, or has boards that are cracking through, a repair or replacement assessment is worth scheduling before the problem gets worse.
Selma sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, and the climate here is demanding. Summer temperatures regularly top 100 degrees Fahrenheit and stretch well into September. That kind of heat breaks down untreated wood fast - boards check and split, finishes peel, and structural connections loosen. At the same time, the tule fog that settles over the Valley each winter keeps exterior surfaces damp for weeks at a stretch, creating the conditions for rot and mold on anything that is not properly sealed or made from moisture-resistant materials.
The soil under most Selma lots is clay-heavy, and it moves. It swells in wet winters and shrinks back during the dry months, and that constant cycle puts stress on footings, posts, and concrete. Decks and fences built without accounting for this movement can shift, rack, and fail within a few years. Building to local conditions - deeper footings, appropriate hardware, and materials matched to the climate - is the difference between a project that holds up for decades and one that needs repairs every other season.
Our crew works throughout Selma regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck and fence work here. Selma homes tend to be ranch-style single-story houses - many built in the 1960s and 1970s - sitting on lots with stucco exteriors, concrete block side fences, and open backyards that feel the full force of the Central Valley sun. We see this housing stock on nearly every job.
Most of our Selma work comes in from neighborhoods near downtown High Street as well as the newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of the city. Highway 99 runs straight through town, so we can get to any Selma address quickly. We pull permits directly through the City of Selma Community Development Department and know what inspectors here look for at each stage of a deck or fence project.
We also work regularly in Fresno to the north and Kingsburg just a few miles south on Highway 99 - so if you have family or friends in either city who need work done, we can take care of them too.
Reach out by phone or through our online form and we will respond within one business day. We schedule site visits around your availability - no waiting weeks for a callback.
We visit your Selma property, measure the space, and review your goals. You receive a written, itemized estimate - no vague ballpark figures and no pressure to sign that day.
We pull the required building permit from the City of Selma and order materials based on the approved plan. We keep you updated on the timeline before work begins.
Our crew handles the full installation from footings to finish. When the work is done, we walk the project with you and address anything that needs attention before we leave.
We serve Selma and the surrounding Central Valley. Written estimates are free, no commitment required.
(559) 837-6805Selma is a city of about 24,000 people in Fresno County, roughly 15 miles south of downtown Fresno along Highway 99. It calls itself the Raisin Capital of the World - the surrounding farmland produces a major share of the nation's raisin crop, and the grape harvest is a visible part of life here every fall. The city has a compact downtown centered on High Street, older residential neighborhoods nearby with homes dating to the 1920s and 1930s, and newer subdivisions on the north and east sides built mostly in the 1990s and 2000s. The majority of housing is single-family, owner-occupied, and working-class. You can learn more at the City of Selma website.
Because Selma sits between Fresno and Visalia on the 99, residents have easy access to both cities, but most prefer to hire local contractors who know the area. The housing stock here - mainly stucco ranch homes on flat lots with concrete patios and block fences - creates consistent demand for outdoor work. Neighbors to the south include Kingsburg and further down the valley, Dinuba.
