ViewLux Construction in Selma, TX | Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio
We provide independent ViewLux window, sunroom, and exterior construction service across Selma, TX as your trusted Selma General Contractor. Our crews repair and replace ViewLux Premium Vinyl windows, Garden Windows, Bay & Bow units, and sunroom glazing on the production-built homes that dominate this stretch of the I-35 corridor. Here’s what separates us from a generic window company in Selma: we know how Blackland Prairie clay movement and spring hail actually stress ViewLux frames on homes built after 2000. Call (254) 269-5071 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for ViewLux Service
Most window contractors in Selma see a fogged pane and quote a whole-sash swap. We see the same fogged pane and check for slab movement first, because homes east of I-35 here sit on expansive clay that doesn’t just settle, it heaves. Isaac Pruett, who leads our crews, spent two decades swinging hammers across the Southwest before putting down roots in the San Antonio market, and he’ll tell you the same thing he tells every Selma homeowner: on ViewLux products, half of what looks like a window problem is actually a soil problem. That changes how we flash, how we shim, and how we size replacement sashes. We work on hundreds of Selma tract homes every year, and we stock the exact-fit ViewLux glass, hardware, and corner keys these houses need. ViewLux sales & service is what we do, and we do it without pretending to be the factory. We’re an independent provider, which means our loyalty is to your house, your warranty status, and your budget, not to a manufacturer’s parts channel.

Common ViewLux Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
ViewLux windows and sunrooms are solid mid-range products, but Selma’s specific conditions expose predictable weak points. These are the calls we run most often:
- Fogged insulated glass on 2000s-era double hungs. Selma’s temperature swings from 100-degree summer afternoons to spring hail fronts stress the butyl seals on older ViewLux IGs. Once argon leaks out, condensation forms inside the pane. We replace the glass unit, not the whole window, whenever the frame is sound.
- West-facing vinyl frame warping and seam separations. On large fixed ViewLux picture windows that catch full afternoon sun on brick-veneer tract facades, the vinyl expands unevenly. We re-square the frame if possible, or recommend exact-fit sash replacement with upgraded corner keys when the welds have opened.
- Sashes that jam or won’t stay open. Expansive clay under Selma homes moves slabs a little every wet-dry cycle. When the rough opening racks even half an inch, ViewLux operable windows bind at the corner joints. We shim the frame, rebuild the sill, and sometimes install steel brackets so the window operates like it should.
- Hail damage to sunroom glass and skylight glazing. Communities along the I-35 corridor catch the worst of spring storms. Shattered or starred ViewLux sunroom panels are common after a good hailstorm, and we replace them with matching glazing or upgrade to impact-rated where the homeowner wants it.
- Leaking Garden Windows after storms. ViewLux Garden Windows are great for herb and plant shelves, but the head flashing on older installs fails, and water tracks into the wall cavity. We pull the unit, reflash the opening, and reset it so the leak doesn’t return after the next Selma downpour.
ViewLux Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact about Selma you won’t hear from a national warranty hotline: the Blackland Prairie clay under the eastern side of this city shrinks and swells with rain so aggressively that homes east of I-35 near Cibolo Creek routinely see stud-to-sill shifts of over half an inch in a single season. That kind of movement cracks ViewLux window frames and breaks corner welds even on homes less than ten years old. In the Retama Springs neighborhood and other subdivisions along the floodplain, a window that sticks in March may swing freely by August, then bind again in October. We build that reality into every ViewLux repair we quote in Selma. If we’re replacing a sash on a house with a history of sheetrock cracks or sticking doors, we check the rough opening for rack before we order glass, and we install reinforced sill brackets where the clay has already done its work. That’s the difference between a window that works for one season and one that works for a decade.
Our crew replaced a bow of ViewLux Premium Vinyl windows on a 2006 brick home in Retama Springs after a spring hailstorm shattered two sashes. We found failed sealant at the head flashing and slab movement had racked the frame, so we installed new exact-fit ViewLux sashes with upgraded steel sill brackets from our stock and reflashed the opening to stop the leaks the homeowner had been fighting for two winters.
ViewLux Models & Products We Service in Selma
We work on the full ViewLux lineup: Premium Vinyl Series double-hungs, sliders, casements, and picture windows; Garden Windows; Bay & Bow windows; and complete ViewLux Sunrooms, including roof glazing and structural supports. For replacements, we prioritize exact-fit OEM ViewLux glass and hardware when available, because matching sightlines and preserving whatever warranty remains matters. But for out-of-production lines or hail-damaged frames, we specify premium aftermarket structural upgrades, and we’ll tell you straight when a full window or sunroom replacement beats paying for repeated seal repairs. We keep a rolling stock of the common ViewLux glass sizes and hardware that Selma homes use, which shortens turnaround on the repairs this area needs most.

FAQs – ViewLux Construction in Selma
That’s a failed insulated glass seal, not Selma’s ambient humidity. The butyl or silicone seal around the glass unit has broken, argon has leaked out, and the window is now condensing inside the airspace. We replace the sealed unit with exact-fit ViewLux glass and the fog stays gone. Call (254) 269-5071 to have the sash measured and priced, free of charge.
We do both. If the glazing is cracked or starred from hail, we replace the panel; if the roof is leaking at the flashing or the curb, we strip and reflash the transition, repair the structural support if needed, and reset the glass. About half the Selma sunroom leaks we see are actually at the roof-to-wall flashing, not the glass. Call us for an inspection and we’ll tell you which it is.
Usually yes. When Selma’s clay soil racks a rough opening, the corner joints bind. We re-square the frame, shim the jambs, and often install steel sill reinforcement so the sash travels smoothly. If the vinyl weld itself has split, we’ll replace the sash rather than the whole window. Either way, you’ll know the number before we start.
Yes. Impact-rated ViewLux windows and aftermarket impact glazing are available in the sizes and finishes common to Selma tract homes. We’ll check your HOA rules before we spec anything, because several master-planned communities here restrict exterior color and glass tint. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll pull the specific requirements for your section of Selma.
In most cases we can, because ViewLux maintained consistent vinyl stock colors through those production years. White and tan match easily. If we can’t pull an exact factory color for a discontinued line, we’ll say so before you spend anything, and we’ll give you a range of options. That honesty is why Selma homeowners call us back for the second and third project.
