Window Replacement, Siding & Sunrooms in Railroad Street Area, Selma NC
Over 40 years of local experience.
The Railroad Street area runs along the CSX rail corridor that was the original reason for Selma's existence as a town. Residential properties in this area sit close to the tracks on streets that were platted in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Homes here are modest, older frame houses and bungalows that developed as worker housing for the railroad and early commercial economy. The area carries some of the oldest residential construction in Selma, and the buildings reflect it.
We serve Railroad Street area homeowners with custom window replacement, siding installation, and sunroom construction. Harland Windows & Siding has worked throughout Johnston County for over 40 years.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement
Frame homes and bungalows from the early 20th century in this area were built with single-pane wood windows sized to that era's standards. Those sizes don't correspond to anything produced today. Many of these homes have original windows still in place, or early replacement units from the 1970s and 1980s that have been through 40 or more years of temperature cycling. Is there a noticeable temperature difference near your windows compared to the center of the room?
We install custom Heat Mirror high-efficiency windows manufactured to your exact opening dimensions. Non-standard historic sizes are built to order the same as any other job.
A homeowner in Railroad Street Area, Jane J., said the living room always felt a few degrees colder than the rest of the house. After we installed Heat Mirror windows, the living room finally matched the temperature of the rest of the house.
Homes in Railroad Street Area vary in age, and so does the condition of the windows in them. Homes in North Selma tend to be a different age, so the windows there may be at a different point in their lifespan. Either way, an in-home look tells us exactly where things stand.
Not sure if your windows need replacing? Watch for these signs:
- Rooms on one side of the house always feel hotter or colder than the rest.
- Glass looks foggy or has visible moisture between the panes.
- Sashes stick, drag, or will not stay open on their own.
- Cold air settles near the windows in winter.
- Paint or caulk around the frames is cracked or peeling.
- Your heating and cooling bills keep climbing each year.
"Worked directly with the owner, courteous and attentive. Top-quality work, with post-install follow-up."

Siding Installation & Replacement
Original wood siding on homes in the Railroad Street area has had over a century of exposure in some cases. Paint fails, joints open, and water finds its way into the sheathing over time. Some homes have had aluminum or vinyl installed over the original wood, which can create a moisture trap that accelerates rot in the underlying structure. We probe the walls during every estimate to find what's behind the surface.
We strip old siding, inspect the sheathing and framing for damage, repair what we find, and install new material from a clean base.
Not sure if your siding needs replacing? Watch for these signs:
- Panels are cracked, warped, or pulling away from the wall.
- You find soft spots when you press on the siding near the base.
- Paint keeps peeling in the same spots no matter how many times you repaint.
- Color has faded noticeably on the sun-facing side of the house.
- There is a musty smell near exterior walls after it rains.
- You see gaps or holes where pests could get in.
Sunroom Construction & Conversions
Older frame homes in the Railroad Street area often have small covered porches at the front or back. Adding EzeBreeze panels to an existing covered porch structure converts it into a usable three-season space without requiring a full addition. For homes where the back yard has more room to work with, a new sunroom addition can be built from the ground up.
We build EzeBreeze sunrooms using PGT Industries' sliding vinyl panel system for three-season use. For year-round comfort, we build fully enclosed sunrooms with insulated walls and Heat Mirror glass.
"The salesman followed through the entire installation, and any install issues were fixed promptly. Very pleased."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it common to find rot behind siding on homes this old near the railroad?
Yes. Homes from the early 20th century have had decades of moisture exposure, and rot in the lower courses of sheathing and framing is common. We look for it specifically during every estimate in this area. If we find it, we repair it before the new siding goes on.
Do you offer free estimates in the Railroad Street area?
Yes. We come to your home, take measurements, and give you a written estimate at no cost. Call (919) 851-0060 or request online to schedule a visit.
What kind of warranty comes with new windows, siding, or a sunroom?
Our windows carry a manufacturer's warranty that covers the glass, seals, and hardware against defects. Installation labor is also covered, so if something is not right because of how a unit was put in, we come back and fix it. We go over the exact terms for your project during your free estimate.
Do you offer financing for window, siding, or sunroom projects?
Yes. We offer financing options for homeowners who want to spread out the cost of a project. Monthly payment plans can make a whole-house window replacement or a new sunroom easier to fit into your budget. Ask about current financing options and rates when you schedule your free estimate.
