We provide independent Jerith fence, railing, and gate service across Fort Lauderdale, from Rio Vista to Victoria Park.

If you’ve got a Jerith fence that’s chalking, wobbling, or sagging, call us at (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum fencing is a premium product, but it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. In Fort Lauderdale, the same fence that looks great in a showroom fights a different battle: salt-laden air off the Atlantic, intense subtropical sun, and soil that shifts after every rainy season. We know the product lines and the failure points because we’ve repaired and replaced enough Jerith installations across this city to recognize the patterns. Our crews understand Jerith Residential Aluminum Fencing, Estate Aluminum Fencing, Pool Fencing, and Aluminum Railings. We also understand what happens to each of them three blocks from the Intracoastal versus ten miles inland.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, has spent the better part of two decades doing remodeling and construction work across South Florida, with a good stretch of that time running projects as our General Contractor in Fort Lauderdale in neighborhoods like Victoria Park. He’s seen firsthand what salt air does to aluminum hardware and what shifting sandy soil does to gate alignment. That experience shapes how we approach every Jerith repair. We’re not the manufacturer. We’re the crew that fixes what the coastal environment does to the manufacturer’s product. That independence means we give you straight answers on repair versus replacement, not a sales pitch for a new fence every time.
We’re also part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, which means every technician who arrives at your Fort Lauderdale property is background-checked, identity-verified, in uniform, and carrying a photo ID badge. You’ll know the technician’s name and see their photo before they ever knock on your door. A written price comes before any work starts. If the work isn’t right within 365 days of completion, we make it right at no cost under our Done Right Promise.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
We see the same issues repeat across Fort Lauderdale, and they’re rarely the fence’s fault. It’s the environment. Here are the five most common Jerith problems we fix:
- Powder coat chalking and pitting from salt air. Along the Intracoastal and east of US-1, the salt-laden air attacks the powder coat finish faster than anywhere inland. The surface turns chalky to the touch, then starts to pit. Once pitting begins, the aluminum underneath is exposed, and the problem compounds.
- Loose or corroded aluminum post caps and pickets. Storm-driven rain forces water into post caps and joints. In Fort Lauderdale’s wet season, that water sits, and the aluminum hardware inside corrodes. We find posts where the cap lifts off with two fingers because the internal fasteners have turned to powder.
- Sagging or misaligned gates from shifting sandy soil. Fort Lauderdale yards, especially in older neighborhoods, sit on sandy soil that shifts with every heavy rain. Gate posts that were perfectly plumb five years ago now lean, which pulls the gate out of alignment and makes the latch fail.
- Faded bronze finishes on west-facing installations. The subtropical sun is relentless. A bronze Jerith finish on a west-facing fence line in Fort Lauderdale will fade unevenly within a few years, leaving blotchy panels that no amount of cleaning will fix.
- Wobbling posts in spalled concrete footers. Many pre-2000 homes in Fort Lauderdale have concrete slabs and footers that have spalled, meaning the surface has flaked away from decades of salt exposure. The post is still there, but the concrete holding it isn’t. We see this constantly east of US-1.
Jerith Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t find in a Jerith product catalog. In Fort Lauderdale’s neighborhoods east of US-1, many Jerith aluminum fences were installed on homes built before stricter post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load rules took effect. That means the original installation often used shorter post embeds and lighter anchoring than current code requires. Add decades of salt-laden air spalling the concrete footers, and you get a fence that looks fine from the street but has posts sitting in degraded concrete. Our repair calls in areas like Rio Vista regularly involve re-anchoring posts into aging slabs that have flaked and cracked from salt exposure. The fix isn’t a new fence; it’s new anchoring, epoxy-coated post inserts, and stainless steel hardware rated for coastal corrosion. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails again next hurricane season.
Last spring our crew replaced a Jerith Estate aluminum fence in Rio Vista after the homeowner found multiple posts wobbling in the concrete footer. The salt air had corroded the original steel post inserts, and the powder coat was chalky to the touch. We set new posts with epoxy-coated anchors and swapped in stainless steel hardware, and the fence now stands rigid through summer storms. That’s the kind of fix you only get from a crew that’s seen it happen enough times to know what’s actually going on below the surface.
We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost, before we touch a thing.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We service the full Jerith residential lineup: Residential Aluminum Fencing, Estate Aluminum Fencing, Pool Fencing, and Aluminum Railings. For structural components like gate frames and post inserts, we prefer Jerith original parts. They’re engineered to fit the system, and cutting corners on structural pieces is how you create a safety issue. For fasteners, hinges, and hardware, we use high-grade aftermarket components rated for coastal corrosion when they’ll outlast the original. That’s not a cost-cutting move; it’s the right spec for Fort Lauderdale’s salt air.
We keep common Jerith-compatible hardware and post inserts on hand for fast turnaround across Fort Lauderdale. If a fence has severe salt corrosion on multiple panels, we’ll tell you straight: replacing the entire run is usually smarter than chasing individual panel failures. A fence that’s pitted across half its length will keep failing, and you’ll spend more on piecemeal repairs than on a clean replacement.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Jerith aluminum fencing meets the manufacturer’s wind-load ratings, but whether your specific installation meets current Fort Lauderdale and Broward County code depends on how it was anchored. Many older installations east of US-1 use post embeds that predate stricter post-Hurricane Andrew rules. That’s why we evaluate anchoring during every estimate. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free inspection of your existing fence’s anchoring.
In Fort Lauderdale’s salt-air zones, we typically see powder coat chalking within five to seven years on unprotected installations, with visible pitting following within eight to ten. Homes directly on the Intracoastal or within a few blocks of the ocean see faster degradation. Regular rinsing and inspection of post caps and fasteners can extend life, but the salt eventually wins. If your fence is at that stage, call us for an honest assessment of repair versus replacement.
Yes. Sagging gates are usually a post problem, not a gate problem. Fort Lauderdale’s sandy soil shifts during the wet season, and the gate posts lean. We re-set the posts with compacted base and proper anchoring, then realign the gate and replace any corroded hardware. It’s a repair we do regularly across the city. Call (754) 354-3720 for a quote.
If the chalking is surface-level and there’s no pitting, refinishing is possible. But once pitting starts, especially on multiple panels, refinishing is a stopgap. You’ll be back in the same situation in two to three years. We give you a straight answer based on what we see, not what sells a bigger job. If replacement makes sense, we’ll quote the full run with coastal-rated hardware.
We install Jerith fence on both. Concrete patio installations use core-drilled posts with epoxy anchoring, which works well on Fort Lauderdale’s older concrete slabs as long as the concrete hasn’t spalled too severely. If the slab is too degraded, we’ll recommend a repair or a different anchoring approach before we install anything. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
