Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate on any Jerith fence job in West Palm Beach.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Most fence companies offering Bathroom Remodeling - West Palm Beach can dig a hole and set a post. Far fewer can tell you why a Jerith Regal aluminum panel is pitting along the bottom rail three years after installation, or why your double gate binds every August. We can. Graham Stein, our owner, learned construction at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent decades on job sites before settling our crew into the West Palm Beach market. He still walks every Jerith fence line himself before we quote it. That matters when you are dealing with fence posts set into coral rock fill, or gate hardware that has been breathing salt air since the Clinton administration. We write a firm price before any work starts, and we put it in writing, then do exactly that.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Powder coat pitting on aluminum panels near the Intracoastal. The salt air along Flagler Drive and the waterfront eats through Jerith’s standard powder coat faster than the manufacturer’s warranty suggests. You see white rust blooming along cut edges and screw holes. We sand, treat, and apply a marine-grade touch-up that holds better in this climate than the original finish.
- Loose post anchors after hurricane gusts. Jerith posts set in shallow concrete footings loosen fast in West Palm Beach’s sandy soil. One good tropical storm and the whole run leans. We dig deeper, widen the footing, and use stainless anchors that do not corrode in salt air.
- Seized gate hinges and latches from constant humidity. Jerith’s stock aluminum hardware corrodes from the inside out in our humidity. Gates get stiff, then stuck. We replace with aftermarket stainless steel hinges and bearings that outlast the originals in coastal conditions.
- Sagging double gates on steel Jerith fences. In neighborhoods built on decomposed coral rock fill, posts settle unevenly over years. Rollers fail, gates drag, and the latch stops lining up. We reset the posts and replace the hardware so the gate swings clean again.
- Jerith pool fence panels falling below BOCA height after settling. We see this on older homes in Flamingo Park where the ground has settled around original foundations. A fence that passed code twenty years ago may not pass today. We shim, reset, or replace panels to restore the required barrier height.
Jerith Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something you will not read on a generic Jerith page. In West Palm Beach’s Flamingo Park and El Cid historic districts, many pre-1960s homes sit on original coral rock foundation walls that extend out toward the property line. When we run a new Jerith fence line adjacent to those walls, standard post hole digging risks cracking the brittle coral rock. So we dig wider, not deeper, and pour non-spalling concrete footings twice as wide as standard. That spreads the load instead of concentrating it, and it keeps your 1930s coral rock intact while giving the Jerith posts a solid seat. On Flagler Drive near Northwood Hills, our tech recently re-secured a Jerith Regal aluminum pool fence where the original post anchors had corroded to dust after twenty years of salt air. We pulled the leaning posts, drilled deeper into compacted sandy fill, and set new stainless steel anchors before reinstalling the same panels. The gate now swings with one hand and meets BOCA pool barrier height after minor shimming. That is the difference between a fence company that works in West Palm Beach and one that understands what is under the ground here.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We install and repair the full Jerith Residential Aluminum Fence line, including the Regal, Estate, and Builder Series. We also work on Jerith Commercial Aluminum Fence, Jerith Ornamental Steel Fence in Victorian and Marquis styles, and Jerith Pool Fence built to BOCA-compliant aluminum specs. When structural integrity matters, we source genuine Jerith panels, posts, and powder coat touch-up kits. When hardware fails in salt air, we typically install aftermarket stainless steel hinges, bearings, and latches that outperform Jerith’s standard components. For posts with severe pitting or gate frames with frozen hardware, we will tell you straight: replacement beats patching, because Jerith’s powder coat cannot be matched reliably in the field. For related work, we also handle Jerith sales & service, vinyl fence installation, aluminum fence installation, and full driveway replacement.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in West Palm Beach
Can Jerith aluminum fence be installed along a West Palm Beach seawall or pool cage without concrete footings?
No. West Palm Beach building code and common sense both require concrete footings for any Jerith fence line, especially near a seawall or pool cage where wind load and soil movement are highest. We set posts below the frost line and use wider footings in sandy or coral rock fill. Call (728) 203-3270 and we will tell you exactly what your specific site needs.
Does Jerith’s powder coat hold up in the salt air near the Intracoastal in West Palm Beach?
Partially. The standard Jerith powder coat performs adequately inland but degrades quickly within a few blocks of the Intracoastal, where salt air and humidity accelerate oxidation. We recommend a marine-grade clear coat or upgraded hardware on any Jerith fence installed east of Dixie Highway. Call (728) 203-3270 for a quote that accounts for your exact distance from the water.
My Jerith pool gate sags and scrapes the pavers. Can you repair it or do I need a new gate?
Most sagging Jerith pool gates can be repaired without replacing the gate itself. We reset the posts, install stainless steel hinges and bearings, and realign the latch. If the gate frame is corroded beyond repair, we will show you the damage and quote a replacement before doing anything. Call (728) 203-3270 and we will assess it in person.
Do Jerith fence posts need deeper footings in West Palm Beach’s sandy soil compared to other parts of Florida?
Yes. West Palm Beach’s sandy, fast-draining soil requires deeper and wider footings than the clay soils found in central and north Florida. We dig post holes 30-36 inches deep and up to twice as wide in coral rock fill zones, then backfill with concrete that resists spalling. Call (728) 203-3270 for a site-specific recommendation.
Can you match a discontinued Jerith fence style for a repair on an older West Palm Beach home in Flamingo Park?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the style is still manufactured or we can source matching panels through our suppliers, we will match it. If the style is truly discontinued, we will show you the closest current Jerith option and give you a written price before any work starts. Call (728) 203-3270 and we will check availability for your specific fence.
