Why Lightwell Windows San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We know how a door install is supposed to go in Selma, because we have worked on enough brick-veneer cul-de-sacs and Retama Springs lots to understand what those homes actually need. Homeowners here tell us the same things after a bad experience with another crew: the threshold was left unsealed, the new door did not match the HOA palette, or the price changed halfway through. Every job we do starts with a written price before any work begins, and it ends with a photo of the clean-up before the crew pulls away. That is the Cedarwell Care Promise we have operated under since 2010.
Our technicians follow the C.A.R.E. values on every Selma visit: Clean up like it is our own home, Ask before we move or touch anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, and Explain the price before the work. That means shoe covers on your tile and drop cloths down before a single tool comes out. If a question comes up during the install, a live person answers our phone around the clock. Keith Yamada leads the team, and he would rather walk a Selma homeowner through a submittal packet than rush a door into a rough opening that is not ready.
Styles & brands we work with
Exterior Door Installation in Selma
Exterior Door Installation in Selma is not just about swapping a slab. It is about matching the home’s facade, passing the committee, and making sure the west-facing exposure does not eat the new weatherstripping in two summers. When a Selma homeowner calls us about a drafty or sticking entry door, we look at the frame as closely as the panel. Older 1990s builds near the Kenwood Park area often have brick veneer with tight tolerances at the jamb, which means the rough opening sometimes needs adjustment before the new pre-hung unit sits square.
Most exterior door replacements in Selma run between $1,900 and $3,400, depending on glass package, sidelites, and whether we are pulling an aluminum frame and installing a fiberglass or steel unit. We stock Therma-Tru and ViewLux options that hold up to the afternoon heat along the I-35 corridor without warping or fading the finish.
Entry Doors and Replacement Doors
When the original door is builder-grade aluminum, it tends to show its age first on lots with no afternoon shade. We replace it with a properly sized pre-hung fiberglass or steel door and fix the threshold while we are there. A new adjustable sill keeps oak pollen and dust out of the track, which is a constant fight in Selma.
Storm and Exterior Door Protection
For homes that take direct sun or storm-driven rain, we specify impact-rated options where the HOA allows. Selma sits in a hail and severe thunderstorm corridor, and an unrated slab can crack when large debris hits it. We would rather over-build a west-facing opening than return to fix a shattered sidelite.
French Door Installation in Selma
French Door Installation in Selma often means opening up a rear wall to a patio or replacing an old sliding door with something that actually seals. Homes in the newer master-planned sections around Retama Springs frequently have standard sliders that leak dust and pollen at the floor track. A French door replacement runs $3,200 to $6,800 in Selma depending on width, glass, and whether we are widening the rough opening. The price covers the new pre-hung unit, hardware, trim, disposal of the old door, and a written line-item quote before anything starts.
Double Doors and Wide Openings
When a Selma homeowner wants double doors where a single door used to be, we check the lintel and load path before touching drywall. Some 2000s production builds have headers sized close to the minimum, so we plan for a larger beam before the opening gets cut. That planning is what keeps the job from stalling mid-install, which matters when your dining room is open to the backyard for a week.
Fiberglass French Doors
For west-facing openings, we lean toward fiberglass French doors with a factory-applied finish rather than paint-grade wood. Selma’s unshaded lots will fade and crack wood faster than a fiberglass unit, and the HOA committees here notice finish quality more than most. We bring physical stain samples to the estimate so you can match the existing trim or the approved palette before submittal.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We install Therma-Tru, ViewLux, and PGT doors in Selma, and we keep the common jamb sizes and threshold parts on hand for faster turnarounds when a door needs to be pulled and reset. Therma-Tru fiberglass gives us the most finish options for HOA-critical matches, ViewLux handles contemporary glass-heavy entries, and PGT covers impact-rated openings. Having access to those brands means the recommendation fits your home and your committee’s palette, not whatever is left on a warehouse shelf. When we replace a door in Selma, we are not selling you a brand first. We are solving the failure in front of us and then choosing the product that handles Selma’s heat and HOA review best.

AfterCommon Door Installation Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Warped aluminum frames on west-facing walls. The unshaded afternoon sun along the I-35 corridor heats the metal until it bows, and then the seal at the threshold breaks. We pull the old frame and install a properly shimmed pre-hung unit with a sill that actually drains.
- Failed weatherstripping that lets oak pollen and dust through. Selma’s cedar and oak pollen loads are heavy, and once the strip cracks, it all blows under the door. We replace the weatherstripping and often the entire threshold since patching a torn strip on an old sill just repeats the problem.
- Off-palette fiberglass doors flagged by HOA committees. Selma’s architectural-review boards routinely catch unpainted or wrong-stain jambs and force a re-stain or full re-hang. We file the finish sample with the submittal so the approval matches what we install.
- Non-impact slabs cracked by storm debris. Afternoon thunderstorms in Selma can throw large-missile debris hard enough to shatter sidelites or crack a standard door slab. In Retama Springs and other exposed lots, we recommend impact-rated glazing for openings that face the prevailing storm track.

FAQs About Door Installation in Selma
Selma HOA architectural review typically adds two to four weeks to a door installation calendar, depending on the committee’s meeting schedule and whether the submittal packet is complete on the first pass. The packet needs the proposed door’s material, finish color or stain, hardware style, and sometimes wind-load documentation, and missing any of those items sends the application back to the start. We file the submittal for you and schedule the install date two weeks after approval so the rough opening is never left exposed while the committee decides. Call (325) 420-4173 and we will check your specific community’s timeline before you pick a door.
Impact-rated doors in Selma are not required by code the way they are on the hurricane coast, but many local homeowners choose them for west-facing and storm-exposed openings. Selma sits in a severe thunderstorm and hail corridor, and large-missile debris from a fast-moving storm can crack a standard door slab or shatter a sidelite. Retama Springs and other newer sections with open lots catch more wind than the shaded 1990s streets, so the choice often comes down to your specific exposure. We show you both rated and non-rated options with exact prices and let the committee tell us what is allowed. Call (325) 420-4173 for a free assessment of your opening.
A Retama Springs HOA will typically allow a fiberglass door to replace the original aluminum if the finish matches the approved palette and the submittal packet includes the required samples and product specs. Fiberglass is actually the easier sell here, because aluminum frames on west-facing lots have a documented failure pattern and committees here understand that. We bring physical stain or paint samples to your estimate so the finish matches the existing trim before the packet goes in. Call (325) 420-4173 and we will pull the current Retama Springs architectural guidelines for your section before you spend money on a door.
Your west-facing door weatherstrip fails every two years in Selma because the unshaded afternoon sun heats the metal threshold and the door face until the seal material dries, cracks, and loses its shape. Many 1990s and 2000s Selma homes were built with aluminum thresholds that bow under that repeated heat load, and once the threshold bows, the weatherstrip cannot do its job even if you replace it. The real fix is replacing the entire threshold with an adjustable sill and using a higher-durability seal rated for sustained heat. We check the threshold before quoting any weatherstrip work, because simply re-gluing a strip to a bowed sill is money you will spend again in two years. Call (325) 420-4173 for a free look at your opening.
You can file the Selma HOA submittal yourself, but our crew can handle the entire packet so the product specs, finish samples, and wind-load documentation all arrive together. Most Selma committees reject incomplete packets on the first pass, and a missing spec sheet on a Therma-Tru door can cost you another two weeks of waiting. We file for you, confirm the approval date, and then lock the install date so the work never sits half-finished waiting on a committee. There is no extra charge for the submittal work, and the line item appears on your written quote. Call (325) 420-4173 to start the process.
