Jerith Construction in Hollywood, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
We’re an independent contractor providing Jerith fence, gate, and railing service across Hollywood, from the Broadwalk condos to the 1950s concrete-block neighborhoods west of Dixie Highway, as our General Contractor in Hollywood. The one thing that makes our Jerith work different here is that we’ve rebuilt enough salt-corroded sections along the Intracoastal to know exactly what fails first, what’s worth saving, and what needs full replacement. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written estimate before any work starts. If you own a Jerith aluminum fence that’s pitting along the bottom rail or a driveway gate that no longer latches square, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and put that number in writing.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Most Jerith fences in Hollywood fail the same way. The factory powder coat holds up fine inland, but within five to eight years of salt exposure near A1A or the Intracoastal, the aluminum starts pitting and blistering at the rail seams. We know those failure patterns because we work on them weekly, and we stock the Jerith OEM pickets, rails, post caps, hinges, and latches to match existing profiles and finishes. That matters when you only need three pickets replaced on a 2004 bronze fence and you don’t want three pickets that look like they came from a different manufacturer.
Trevor Nash runs our Fort Lauderdale operation. He learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades running crews across South Florida. His team has rebuilt enough Jerith sections in Hollywood’s beachfront zones to tell you in the first five minutes whether a powder coat failure is cosmetic or structural. We’re also part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004. That means a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, and a written guarantee on every project. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail maze. For Jerith work specifically, we also lean on our broader Jerith sales & service experience across Broward County.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Salt-air pitting and powder coat blistering. Hollywood’s ocean breeze carries salt spray well west of the Broadwalk, and Jerith aluminum pickets and bottom rails near the beach or Intracoastal often start blistering within five to eight years. We sand, prime, and spot-touch what’s salvageable, and replace full sections when the coating has failed past the point of a clean color match.
- Gate sag and striker misalignment on Jerith ADT driveway gates. Hollywood’s humidity keeps gate bushings in a constant state of expansion and contraction, and the occasional tropical-storm gust doesn’t help. A sagging Jerith driveway gate usually means worn hinge bushings or a hinge post that’s drifted out of plumb. We reset the post if needed and rebuild the hinge assembly, rather than hanging a new gate on a bad post.
- Concrete spalling around post footings. In Hollywood’s older concrete-pad homes, many original Jerith installers skipped the waterproofing collar around the post base. Water pools at the footing in our summer downpours, the concrete spalls, and the post starts to lean. We set new footings with polymer concrete and proper drainage so the repair holds through the next hurricane season.
- UV-faded bronze and black finishes on south-facing sections. A Jerith fence facing full Florida sun for ten or twelve years loses its gloss and turns chalky. It rarely compromises structural integrity, but it looks tired. We can refinish or replace, and we’ll tell you which option makes sense based on the age of the fence and the condition of the aluminum underneath.
- Rusted hardware on self-closing pool gates. Hollywood pool code requires self-closing, self-latching gates on any pool barrier. The original latch on a Jerith PF Series pool fence often rusts out in our humidity long before the aluminum shows any wear. We replace it with a heavy-duty stainless unit, and we make sure the self-closing spring still passes a code inspection.
Jerith Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood’s historic Hollywood Lakes neighborhood, designated in 1999, has a specific rule that changes how we handle Jerith work there. Any new fence over three feet in the front setback requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Board. That board often mandates specific color palettes and picket spacing to match the 1920s-era original designs on those homes. So if you own a Jerith fence along a Hollywood Lakes street and you need more than a few pickets replaced, we have to match not just Jerith’s finish, but the board’s expectations. We’ve navigated that process before, and we’ll pull the paperwork and the permits so the work doesn’t stall at inspection. This isn’t a hurdle in most of Broward County, and it’s part of why we treat Hollywood differently than our broader Hollywood service area calls.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work on the Jerith Residential Aluminum Fence line, including the RA Series like the RA-54, the Estate Aluminum Fence EA Series, the PF Series pool fence in the 60-inch code-compliant height, and the ADT Series aluminum driveway gates. For visible components, pickets, rails, post caps, hinges, latches, we use Jerith OEM parts so the color and profile match exactly. For hidden structural components like concrete anchors, we may use corrosion-resistant aftermarket parts rated for Miami-Dade exposure when they outperform the original spec. Our trucks carry the most commonly needed Jerith sections for Hollywood jobs, which means we usually don’t lose a day waiting on a rail to ship from a warehouse in another state.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Hollywood
We can match it closely, but a 2008 bronze finish that’s spent sixteen years in Hollywood sun and salt won’t match a brand-new OEM picket perfectly. We typically order the OEM bronze sections and then blend the surrounding area, or we’ll tell you up front if the fade is too far gone and a full section replacement is the better call. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll assess it in person before you spend a dollar.
Usually not. Most sagging Jerith pool gates are a hinge bushing problem or a post that’s drifted out of plumb, not a failed gate frame. We rebuild the hinge assembly, reset the post if needed, and replace the latch with a heavy-duty stainless self-closing unit that meets Hollywood pool code, which is standard for any Bathroom Remodeling - Hollywood project we take on. A full gate replacement is only necessary when the aluminum extrusion itself is cracked or the frame is twisted. Call us and we’ll tell you which one you’re dealing with.
No, not by default. In Hollywood Lakes, any new fence over three feet in the front setback requires a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the board often restricts height and picket spacing to match the original 1920s designs. We can help you file for the certificate, but we won’t install first and hope for forgiveness later. That ends poorly for everyone.
Jerith aluminum holds up structurally, but the factory powder coat will show salt-air pitting and blistering eventually, even on well-maintained fences. Vinyl doesn’t corrode, which is why some Intracoastal homeowners switch, but it also doesn’t match the look of a bronze aluminum fence. We’ll show you both options and real examples from your street before you decide. Call (754) 551-2922 for that conversation.
It can, depending on the terms of your original Jerith warranty, and we’ll never pretend otherwise. If your fence is still under warranty, we’ll advise you to file the claim first. What we offer is independence, which means we recommend replacement only when the aluminum actually needs it, not because a manufacturer program pays us to sell new sections. We’re honest about that trade-off from the first visit.
