Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose Jerith Construction
We provide independent San Antonio Jerith service for aluminum fence repair, post reset, gate realignment, and full installation across the city, from Alamo Heights to Stone Oak and the west side’s slab-on-grade neighborhoods. Our crews have worked on Jerith RA, EA, PC, and OG Series products for over a decade, which means we know where these fences fail in our specific soil and climate before we ever set a post. We’re not a Jerith-authorized dealer or installer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a local construction company that has rebuilt enough Jerith fences on San Antonio’s expansive clay to know exactly what holds square and what doesn’t. Call (254) 269-5071 for a free estimate on any Jerith repair or new installation.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio for Your Jerith Construction?
Jerith aluminum fencing is good product. The failure we see in San Antonio isn’t the fence, it’s what the ground and the weather do to the fence. Isaac Pruett, who leads our crews, learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent two decades on projects across the Southwest before focusing on San Antonio work. That experience matters when a Jerith Estate panel has racked out of square and the real question isn’t the weld, it’s whether the post below it moved in expansive clay after a flash drought.
We approach every Jerith job the same way: figure out why the fence failed before we touch a panel. On San Antonio’s reactive clay, that usually means checking post depth, concrete core condition, and drainage at the base of each post. A leaning Jerith post is almost never just a leaning post. It’s a footing that was too shallow for this soil, or a sprinkler head saturating the clay on one side, or a limestone shelf that forced an uneven set. Isaac’s crews have seen every variation, and we write the fix to address the cause, not just straighten the symptom.
Every Jerith repair or install comes with our standard terms: a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee with a clearly stated coverage period, and the Threshold Standard on crew verification. You’ll know the name and see a photo of every crew member before they arrive, and they’ll show a photo ID badge at your door. Know who’s coming, know what it costs, know it’s covered – that’s the whole job before the job starts.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Fix in San Antonio
- Post lean on RA and EA Series after heavy rain followed by dry heat. This is the most common Jerith failure in San Antonio. Expansive clay swells when it’s wet, pushing posts out of plumb, then shrinks in drought and leaves them frozen at an angle. We pull the post, bore deeper, and set it with a high-strength concrete core and rebar so it stays put through the next wet-dry cycle.
- Gate sag and hinge bind on OG Series gates. Jerith ornamental gates are heavy, and when they’re mounted on shallow-set posts or a pier cap cracks along its underside, the gate pulls the hinge side down until the latch won’t close. We replace hinge pins with stainless steel, reinforce the post core, and get the reveal back to under 3/16 inch at the latch.
- Picketed section racking on taller EA panels. Wind load on a six-foot Jerith Estate panel in an open San Antonio yard can pop the corner welds over time, especially when the post spacing is at the top of the manufacturer’s range. We re-square the panel, reweld the corners, and add corner gussets when the existing welds show repeat stress.
- Powder coat delamination at ground line on PC Series pool fencing. Sprinkler overspray and San Antonio’s calcium-heavy tap water eat at the powder coat on Jerith pool-code fence where the pickets meet the ground. The fix is stripping the affected area, treating the aluminum, and refinishing with a color-matched coat. We also re-route sprinkler heads so the problem doesn’t come back.
- Loose rails and rattling pickets on all Jerith series. Thermal expansion and contraction across a San Antonio summer, where daytime highs swing forty degrees, gradually works rail screws loose. We re-secure rails with thread-locking fasteners and replace any stripped picket clips. It’s a small fix that prevents a big section failure later.
Jerith Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We default to Jerith factory-matched posts, rails, and pickets when the finish has to stay seamless, particularly on visible street-facing fence lines where a mismatched panel would stand out. For the structural side of a repair, we keep in-stock heavy-duty post cores and stainless hinge kits that often outlast the original hardware. On an older Jerith Estate gate where the powder coat has faded, matching the original finish exactly can be the hardest part. We have a local powder coater who can blend to the existing fade on most Jerith colors, which gives a better visual match than a brand-new factory panel bolted next to a weathered one.
Our repair-vs-replace rule is straightforward. We replace rather than patch when a Jerith panel has more than two compromised welds, or a post has moved more than 1.5 inches out of plumb. Below that, repair is usually the honest call. We’ll never push a full replacement when two posts and a hinge kit will give you another decade. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you which side of the line your fence sits on.
Our Jerith Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We walk the entire fence line, not just the section you flagged. On Jerith fences in San Antonio, one leaning post usually means the two neighbors are moving too. We check plumb on every post, reveal on every gate, and drainage at every base.
- 2
Repair or install. For post resets, we pull the post, bore to code depth (typically 30 inches in expansive clay), pour a high-strength concrete core with rebar, and set the post with the factory-matched finish facing out. For new installs, we set posts in concrete with proper drainage slope at the base of each post.
- 3
Test. Every gate gets opened and closed a dozen times under its own weight. We check latch engagement, hinge pin wear, and panel squareness. If a gate binds at any point in its swing, we don’t call the job done.
- 4
Warranty. Your written guarantee states the coverage period and what’s covered in plain language. If a repair fails within the covered period, we return free of charge. No dispute process, no conditions.
Jerith Products We Service & Install in San Antonio
We service and install the full Jerith aluminum fence and gate lines that are common in San Antonio residential work. That includes the Jerith Residential Aluminum Fence (RA Series) for standard yard enclosures, the Estate Aluminum Fence (EA Series) for taller privacy and wind-exposed runs, the Pool Code Aluminum Fence (PC Series) for perimeter pool fencing that meets San Antonio code, and the Ornamental Aluminum Gate (OG Series) for driveway and pedestrian gates. We stock common rail clips, hinge pins, and post caps locally for faster turnaround, and we can order Jerith factory posts and panels when the specific color or profile matters.
Note: we also handle new vinyl fence installation and concrete driveway work as part of our broader General Contractor service, since many Jerith fence projects tie into driveway gates, post pads, and adjacent hardscaping.

Jerith Fence Pricing in San Antonio
These are the ranges we quote for typical Jerith work in San Antonio. Your exact price depends on how many posts we’re resetting, the condition of the panels, and the access to your fence line. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change unless the scope does.
| Jerith Service | San Antonio Price Range |
|---|---|
| Jerith aluminum fence post reset (per post) | $120 – $240 |
| Jerith aluminum fence section reinstall (per 6-ft panel) | $80 – $150 |
| Jerith gate hinge and latch replacement | $150 – $300 |
| Aluminum fence installation (new, per linear foot) | $28 – $45 |
For a full new Jerith installation on a typical San Antonio lot, expect the fence line to land in the aluminum fence installation range of roughly $3,500 – $9,000 depending on linear footage, gate count, and soil conditions where we’re boring. Clay that requires deeper boring and concrete cores will push toward the upper end. Call (254) 269-5071 for an exact quote, it’s free.
FAQs – Jerith Construction Service in San Antonio
Because San Antonio sits on expansive clay that swells dramatically when saturated and shrinks when it dries. A Jerith post set in a standard concrete footing will get pushed out of plumb when the clay around it heaves after heavy rain, especially if the post hole was bored in the wet season and backfilled without a proper concrete core. We fix this by pulling the post, boring to 30 inches, and setting a high-strength concrete core with rebar through the center. That puts the post below the zone where clay movement has the most leverage. Call (254) 269-5071 if your posts are leaning, the sooner you reset them, the less panel damage you’ll have.
Yes, in most cases. Jerith’s factory powder coat fades over years of San Antonio sun, so a brand-new factory section bolted next to a weathered one will stand out. We work with a local powder coater who blends to match the existing fade, not the original factory color. On a visible street-facing gate, that’s the difference between a repair you can’t see and one you can’t stop seeing.
First we check whether the panel itself is racked or the posts have moved. If the post is out of plumb, re-squaring the panel without fixing the post means the same warp comes back in a season. When the panel is the problem, we re-square it on the ground, reweld any popped corner joints, and add a gusset where the original weld shows repeat stress. Then we re-hang it with fresh fasteners.
With proper installation and basic maintenance, a Jerith PC Series pool fence should last 25 to 35 years in San Antonio. What shortens that is chlorine and calcium buildup at the picket bases, sprinkler overspray hitting the lower rail, and the expansive clay shifting the posts. We’ve seen PC Series fences installed 30 years ago still sound, and we’ve seen ten-year-old fences with ground-line corrosion from consistent sprinkler saturation. The difference is drainage and maintenance, not the fence itself.
That depends on two things: how many welds are compromised and how many posts have moved past 1.5 inches out of plumb. Our rule is repair when there are two or fewer compromised welds and the posts can be reset square. Replace when the panel structure has more than that, or when reset posts would need new concrete cores on more than half the fence line. We’ll walk your fence with you and show you exactly which side of the line each section sits on, then give you a written price for either path. Call (254) 269-5071 to schedule that walk.
Post resets run $120 – $240 per post, section rehangs $80 – $150 per panel, and gate hinge and latch replacement $150 – $300. A new Jerith aluminum fence installation runs $28 – $45 per linear foot, which puts most full San Antonio fence projects between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on the yard. Your exact number comes in a written quote after we see the fence. Call (254) 269-5071 for a free estimate.
