Jerith Construction in Selma, TX | Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio
Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio provides independent Jerith fence and gate service across Selma, TX, as our General Contractor in Selma. We repair, reset, and replace Jerith aluminum and steel fencing for homeowners and commercial properties throughout the I-35 Northeast corridor. What makes our Jerith work different here is simple: we know Selma’s clay soil, HOA rules, and storm patterns well enough to fix the actual problem, not just the symptom. Call (254) 269-5071 for a free estimate.
Jerith fencing is built well, but Selma’s ground moves. Expansive clay heaves posts out of plumb. Spring hail dents and loosens pickets. HOA covenants in master-planned communities demand specific black aluminum styles. That combination means Jerith owners need a service crew that understands both the product line and the dirt it stands in. We’ve been working Jerith systems across Selma since long before the current building boom filled in every open lot along Retama Parkway.
One thing worth knowing up front: we are an independent Jerith service provider. Not manufacturer-owned, not an authorized dealer. That independence means we make repair-versus-replace calls based on what the fence actually needs, not what pushes a sales quota. If a gate frame is salvageable with OEM hinge brackets and a deeper footing, we say so. If the post footings are compromised, we tell you that too, and explain why patching would cost more over three years than replacing the section now. Call (254) 269-5071 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith fencing shows up all over Selma. Walk through any subdivision built after 2005 and you’ll see the same black aluminum pickets lining property lines, screening pools, and gating driveways. We’ve worked on enough of them to know this brand’s failure points like the back of our hand. Gate hinges bind when the slab shifts. Pickets rattle loose at the rivet points after a bad hailstorm. Powder coat chalks on west-facing lines with no shade.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, spent two decades on construction projects across the Southwest before settling his crew into San Antonio work. He’ll tell you Selma’s soil is a different animal than most of what he saw out west. The Blackland Prairie clay here expands and contracts like a sponge, and Jerith posts set in standard concrete footings take the brunt of it. That’s why we specify deeper footings with rebar when we reset posts in this area, even when the original install didn’t have them.
We carry OEM Jerith components for current production models and keep a network of suppliers for discontinued aluminum styles. When a homeowner in Cibolo Vista needs a hinge bracket replaced, we’re not ordering from across the country and hoping it matches. We know which aftermarket pickets match Jerith’s black finish well enough that your HOA walkthrough won’t flag them. We also do Jerith sales & service for customers who need new sections added to existing fence lines.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Gate hinge binding from slab movement. Selma’s expansive clay soil shifts post footings every wet-dry cycle. In newer subdivisions where fill dirt was compacted quickly, the settling is worse. A Jerith gate that scrapes the driveway or won’t latch is usually a post alignment issue, not a hinge issue. We reset the post, not just shim the hinge.
- Aluminum picket loosening at rivet points. Spring thunderstorms in Selma bring hail and straight-line winds. Riveted pickets take repeated impact and start to wiggle loose over two or three storm seasons. We re-rivet or replace pickets and check the rail-to-post connections while we’re at it, because those loosen too.
- Powder coat chalking and fading. Dark bronze finishes on west-facing fence lines get hammered by Texas sun. Open-lot tract developments with no mature trees mean zero shade for the fence line from noon to sunset. We can refinish lightly chalked sections and advise when full replacement makes more sense than a coating that won’t hold.
- Post lean in low-lying areas near Cibolo Creek. Soil saturation weakens concrete footings and posts start to list. This is common in older Selma neighborhoods near the floodplain. A leaning post stresses the entire panel run. We pull the post, address the footing, and re-set it plumb and level.
- Gate frame corrosion at weld points. Jerith steel gates hold up well, but standing water against the bottom rail for years will eventually corrode welds. Selma’s humid summers speed that process up. If a steel gate frame is severely corroded, we recommend section replacement rather than repeated patching.
Jerith Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Homes in Selma’s master-planned communities along the I-35 corridor, especially those near the Retama Park area, often carry HOA covenants that specify fence styles matching Jerith’s black aluminum picket design. That’s not a coincidence. Developers chose Jerith because it met the aesthetic standard, and HOAs enforce that standard because consistency keeps property values stable. What that means for you: if a hailstorm knocks out a section of fence, you can’t just swap in any aluminum panel from the big-box store. The picket spacing, the top rail profile, the finish tone, it all has to match. We keep brand-compatible replacement components on hand for exactly this reason. A repair that matches the covenant passes architectural review. One that doesn’t gets flagged, and then you’re paying twice. We also handle Selma service area calls for commercial properties along the I-35 build-out, where Jerith commercial aluminum fence lines gate parking lots and loading areas. Those jobs have their own pressure: a broken gate at a retail property doesn’t wait for a convenient time, and we treat it that way.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Selma
We service the full Jerith lineup that shows up in Selma: Jerith Residential Aluminum Fence, Jerith Commercial Aluminum Fence, Jerith Steel Fence, and Jerith Estate Gate Systems. That covers the black aluminum picket fencing in suburban yards, the taller commercial panels along I-35 corridor properties, the heavy steel fencing on acreage lots, and the automated driveway gates on custom homes.
For current production lines, we use genuine Jerith OEM components whenever possible. Hinges, latch hardware, post caps, pickets, we stock what Selma homeowners need most and order the rest with quick turnaround. For out-of-production aluminum styles, we source aftermarket pickets and brackets that match the original dimensions and finish. The goal is a repair your HOA can’t spot from the street, not one that looks like a patch job.

AfterJerith Service Pricing in Selma
Jerith fencing repair in Selma follows the pricing patterns of the broader San Antonio market. Gate post resets typically run $400 to $1,800 depending on how many posts, what the footing looks like, and whether concrete removal is involved. Section replacement for a damaged aluminum panel generally lands between $350 and $900 installed, depending on panel width and finish matching. Full gate replacement with new hardware and posts can range from $1,500 to $4,500 for residential driveway gates. Commercial steel gate repair runs higher, often $2,000 to $8,000, because the components are heavier and the labor is more involved.
What drives the cost most in Selma is the footing work. Clay soil means we dig deeper, use more concrete, and add rebar where the original install skimped. That’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that fails again in eighteen months. Your free estimate covers a site visit, a look at the soil condition around the posts, and a written line-item price before any work starts. Call (254) 269-5071 to get yours scheduled.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Selma
Does Jerith fencing require HOA approval for repair in Selma’s master-planned communities? Yes, most Selma HOAs that mandate Jerith-style black aluminum fencing require architectural review for any repair that changes the appearance of the fence line, though like-for-like component replacement is often treated as routine maintenance. We can tell you what your specific covenant requires after looking at your fence, because we’ve worked inside most of the master-planned communities along the I-35 corridor. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll help you figure out the paperwork before you spend a dollar on materials.
Can you straighten a leaning Jerith fence post without replacing the entire panel? Usually, yes. We pull the post, inspect the footing, and reset it with a deeper concrete pour reinforced with rebar, then re-hang the existing panels. If the post itself is bent or the panel rails are warped, that changes the calculation, but in most Selma yards a leaning post is a footing problem, not a panel problem. We’ll give you a straight answer either way.
Do you match Jerith aluminum fence sections that are no longer in production? We do. Jerith has changed picket profiles and rail designs over the years, and older Selma homes often have styles that aren’t manufactured anymore. We source aftermarket pickets and brackets that match the original dimensions and finish closely enough that the repair disappears into the fence line. For HOAs that inspect, this matters.
How does Selma’s hail affect Jerith aluminum fencing compared to steel? Aluminum dents and loosens at the rivet points faster than steel under repeated hail impact, because it’s a softer alloy. Selma’s spring storms can hammer a fence line with golf-ball-size hail two or three times in a season. Steel holds its shape better but will show finish damage faster once the galvanized coating is compromised. Both need inspection after a bad storm, but aluminum sections are what we replace most often in Selma.
What’s the typical cost to reset a Jerith gate that is sagging due to soil movement in Selma? A single gate post reset in Selma typically runs $400 to $800 if the post is sound and only the footing needs to be re-dug deeper with concrete and rebar. If the post is corroded at the base or the gate frame is damaged, expect $1,200 to $3,500 for full post and gate replacement. Clay soil drives the labor cost higher here than in areas with stable limestone, because the footing has to be built to resist the expansion cycle.
