Lightwell Windows & Doors is the Selma window company that treats your house like a home, not a job site. Selma’s mix of 1990s and 2000s brick-veneer homes and newer master-planned communities like Retama Springs means we’re replacing builder-grade aluminum windows and original low-e glass more often than almost anything else. The heat along the I-35 corridor, the summer storms, and the cedar and oak pollen all put real stress on seals, frames, and weatherstripping here. We carry eight manufacturer brands, put every price in writing before work starts, and we answer the phone 24/7. Call (325) 420-4173 for a free estimate.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits right on the I-35 corridor, and the heat is the first thing our technicians think about when they look at a window or door. Intense south-central Texas sun beats on west-facing glass with almost no tree cover in many of the older sections, and we see the result constantly: premature seal failure and visible fading on that side of the house while the east side still looks fine. Homeowners in Retama Springs and the surrounding master-planned communities are now hitting replacement age on the standard builder-grade aluminum windows installed when those homes went up. Aluminum conducts heat, so those frames get hot enough to raise the temperature in the room even when the glass is holding. Many of the large custom homes built during the 2000s boom were framed with original low-e windows that made sense then but have since lost their argon gas or developed broken seals. Upgrading to high-performance triple-pane isn’t a luxury here; it’s the way to keep a west-facing bedroom actually comfortable in August. And because Selma HOAs keep a tight eye on street-facing elevations, we help homeowners match the approved window and door styles so the upgrade doesn’t create a compliance problem.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Selma Services
Selma homeowners call us most often for window replacement and door installation, and we route each job to the right crew, the right materials, and the right warranty coverage. Everything starts with a written price and a walkthrough that names exactly what will be protected during the work.
Window Replacement in Selma
Most Selma window replacements involve pulling out aluminum or original low-e windows and installing new frames and sashes sized for the same openings. We see west-facing seal failures all over the older sections, and replacing just the glass on a failed unit is often the wrong fix when the frame has been cooking in the sun for fifteen or twenty years. We cover floors and furniture with drop cloths and shoe covers on every visit, and our crews use quiet tools during nap hours when there are kids in the house. For the full picture on materials, pricing, and what a replacement day looks like, see our Window Replacement in Selma page.
Window Installation in Selma
New-construction and addition work in Selma is different from replacement: the openings are still being framed, so the flashing, leveling, and waterproofing have to be done right the first time, before the walls are closed. We work with the builder or the homeowner directly to get the rough openings measured accurately, then install units from brands like PGT and Mr-Glass with the same written-price promise we give on every job. Window Installation in Selma covers the full process, including what to check before drywall goes up.
Door Installation in Selma
Selma’s brick veneer homes make exterior door replacement a little more involved than people expect. Brick doesn’t flex, so a new door frame has to be shimmed and sealed precisely or the door will bind in summer and leak in a thunderstorm. We install Therma-Tru and ViewLux doors, and we take the same care with the threshold and the weatherstripping that we do with the door itself. Our Door Installation in Selma page walks through the options and the day-of plan.

What pushes the price up in Selma is usually the west-facing exposure and the resulting need for triple-pane or higher-solar-gain glass, plus any HOA-driven style requirements that limit the options. What doesn’t push the price up is the surprise at the end: every job gets a written line-item price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope.
