Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Jerith Construction
Jerith in Fort Lauderdale fence, gate, and railing repair and installation is provided independently by Penhallow Remodeling across Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding coastal communities. We’re not authorized by or affiliated with Jerith, but our crews have serviced their aluminum systems through South Florida’s salt air and hurricane seasons for over a decade. We know which Jerith grades hold up on oceanfront lots, which need upgraded fasteners, and exactly what to do when a gate starts sagging or the powder coat begins chalking. Call (754) 551-2922 and tell us what you’re dealing with. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Trevor Nash leads our Jerith in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale work. He learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades swinging a hammer and running crews across South Florida, from full gut-renovations near Las Olas Boulevard to modest fence and gate repairs for longtime homeowners who just want the work done right. He shows up on day one with a written scope and a realistic number. That’s the standard.
Why Trust Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale for Your Jerith Construction?
Jerith aluminum fence and gate systems look straightforward until you’re dealing with a double swing driveway gate that won’t latch or a post base that’s loosening in sandy soil. Our technicians work on these systems weekly. We know the difference between a Jerith Estate Series panel and a standard residential 2-rail panel. We know which hinges Jerith specified for which gate weight and what happens when a previous installer substitutes the wrong ones.
When we repair a Jerith fence or gate in Fort Lauderdale, we use genuine Jerith hinges, latches, and post caps whenever our local distributors have them in stock. But we also keep marine-grade stainless fasteners and hinges on hand for salt-air replacements because Jerith’s standard zinc hardware fails prematurely within two miles of the beach. That’s not a knock on Jerith. It’s the reality of coastal Florida. Our approach is simple: use the right part for the location, not just the part that came in the original box.
Every Jerith job we take gets a written price up front, a defined arrival window, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee. It’s how we’ve operated under the Kingswell standard since 2004.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale
- Gate sag and latch misalignment on Jerith double swing driveway gates. After years of daily use, the hinge bearings on heavy ornamental gates wear down and the gate drops just enough that the latch no longer lines up. We see this on Estate Series driveway gates all over Rio Vista and Las Olas Isles. The fix is usually new hinge bearings and a latch realignment, not a full gate replacement.
- Powder coat chalking and salt-air pitting within two miles of the beach. Jerith’s standard powder coat is solid, but oceanfront exposure accelerates it. We’ve seen fences in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Harbor Beach where the finish chalks to a dull gray within five years. Depending on the aluminum gauge, we either recommend replacement panels or a full strip and re-coat with a marine-grade finish.
- Post base loosening in sandy Fort Lauderdale soil. If the original footer was poured too shallow or too narrow, the post starts rocking after a few heavy storm seasons. We re-set the post in a properly sized concrete footer with stainless anchors. This is one of the most common fixes we handle.
- Hinge bearing wear on Jerith self-closing gate hinges. Pool-code installations require self-closing gates, and those hinges take a beating. When the bearing wears, the gate closes slowly or stops short of the latch. We replace the hinge with a Jerith-spec or marine-grade aftermarket hinge and adjust the tension so it closes fully every time.
- Broken zinc fasteners in salt-air zones. The original self-tapping zinc screws Jerith uses can snap inside the post after years of corrosion. We drill out the broken fasteners, replace them with stainless, and re-secure the panel or post cap. It’s tedious work, but it saves the panel.
Jerith Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock common Jerith parts locally: hinges, latches, post caps, and gate hardware for the Residential and Estate Series lines. For salt-air replacements, we keep marine-grade stainless fasteners and hinges that outlast Jerith’s standard zinc hardware. When a Jerith panel is severely corroded or bent from a vehicle impact, we give you an honest recommendation. If the aluminum gauge is thick enough to justify sandblasting and powder coating, we quote the re-coat. If it’s too thin or the corrosion has compromised the structural integrity, we quote replacement. You get both numbers in writing, and you decide.
Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk you through what makes sense for your fence or gate.
Our Jerith Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We come out, inspect the fence or gate, and identify the specific Jerith model and hardware involved. We check post bases, hinge bearings, latch alignment, and finish condition. You get a written diagnosis with a written price before any work starts.
- 2
Repair or install. We use genuine Jerith parts where they’re the right call and marine-grade stainless aftermarket parts where coastal conditions demand them. Every panel, hinge, and post cap is installed to Jerith’s original spacing and alignment specs.
- 3
Test. We cycle every gate, check every latch, and confirm the self-closing tension on pool-code installations. We run a straightedge down fence lines to verify alignment and make sure post bases sit solid in their footers.
- 4
Warranty. Every Jerith job comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the gate sags again or a post loosens inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge.

AfterJerith Products We Service & Install in Fort Lauderdale
We service and install the Jerith Residential Aluminum Fence line, including 2-rail and 3-rail styles, the Jerith Estate Series Aluminum Fence, Jerith Industrial and Commercial Aluminum Fence, and Jerith aluminum driveway gates in both single and double swing configurations.

Common local work includes aluminum fence installation, vinyl fence installation, and impact window installation for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who want the fence and windows to match the coastal durability standard.
Last spring our crew removed a corroded Jerith Estate Series 3-rail fence on a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea property. The original zinc self-tapping screws had snapped inside the posts. We drilled out the broken fasteners, replaced every post base with new marine-grade stainless anchors, and hung refinished panels using new Jerith hinges adjusted for the slight gate sag. The homeowner reported the gate swings cleanly even after a week of heavy summer storms.
We Also Service These Brands
Jerith is one brand we know well, but not the only one. Our Fort Lauderdale crews also handle KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and James Hardie siding.

FAQs – Jerith Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
Is Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale authorized by Jerith?
No. We are an independent Jerith service provider. We are not authorized by or affiliated with Jerith. What we bring is a decade-plus of hands-on experience with Jerith systems in Fort Lauderdale’s specific coastal conditions, plus a written guarantee on every repair we make.
Do you use genuine Jerith or OEM parts?
We install genuine Jerith hinges, latches, and post caps whenever they’re available through our local distributors and they’re the right part for the location. In salt-air zones where Jerith’s standard zinc hardware fails early, we recommend marine-grade stainless aftermarket fasteners and hinges. We show you exactly what we’re using and why before we install it.
How long does Jerith service take?
Most gate sag repairs and post base resets are done in a single visit, typically 2 to 4 hours. Full fence panel replacement or re-coating takes longer, usually 2 to 3 days depending on the linear footage and finish curing time. You’ll get a written arrival window and a written price before we start.
What Jerith models and series do you cover?
We service the Residential Aluminum Fence line in 2-rail and 3-rail styles, the Estate Series including driveway gates, and the Industrial and Commercial Aluminum Fence lines. If you have an older Jerith fence and you’re not sure which series it is, call us. We can identify it from photos or a quick site visit.
Will service void my Jerith warranty?
If your fence or gate is still under Jerith’s manufacturer warranty, we’d encourage you to check the terms before any third-party repair. As an independent provider, our work does not extend or alter Jerith’s warranty. What we provide is our own written 365-Day Done Right Promise on everything we install or repair. It’s a separate guarantee, and it’s in writing.
