Jerith Construction in Boca Raton, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Jerith fence and gate service across Boca Raton, from west-side gated communities like Boca Pointe and Woodfield to the aging condominium towers along A1A, including Pompano Beach Jerith service. The one thing that makes our Jerith work different here is simple: we file Architectural Review Board submittals before the first post hole gets dug, because Boca’s Mediterranean Revival codes add weeks to any exterior project and the contractors who treat that as a surprise are the ones who leave you holding an unfinished fence. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. We’re a local crew that knows Jerith’s aluminum and steel lines inside out, and we know what Boca Raton’s salt air, sun, and strict design rules do to them. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 because his oldest boy showed the same interest in tools Tom had at sixteen. That felt like reason enough then, and twenty-nine years later, the same logic runs the place: the owner’s sons run the crews, the owner answers the phone, and every job gets a written scope before a single nail moves. For Jerith work specifically, that means we’ve seen how Jerith sales & service plays out across Boca Raton’s specific conditions: powder coat chalking under west-facing sun, salt corrosion at post bases near the Intracoastal, gate sag on clay-rich soils. We carry genuine Jerith OEM posts, pickets, hinges, and latch assemblies because aftermarket aluminum never matches Jerith’s powder-coat chemistry or structural profiles. And every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Powder-coat chalking and fading on Jerith aluminum panels. After five to seven years under Boca Raton’s intense UV exposure, the original finish on Jerith Regency and Estate aluminum panels starts to chalk, especially on west-facing runs in communities like Boca Pointe. You’ll see a white film that rubs off on your hand. We strip, prep, and refinish with a color-matched coating that holds up better than the factory original, or we replace panels when the chalking has burned through to bare metal.
- Salt-induced pitting and white corrosion blooms at Jerith steel post bases. Along A1A and east of Federal Highway, sea spray plus irrigation overspray accelerates corrosion on Jerith Premier and Sentinel steel posts. The telltale sign is a crusty white bloom at the base where the post meets concrete. We cut out corroded sections, weld in new steel, and recoat with a marine-grade primer and finish rated for coastal exposure.
- Gate sag and hinge wear on Jerith double-drive gates. In Woodfield and Camino Real, the clay-rich soils shift seasonally, which throws gate posts out of plumb and puts uneven load on hinges. You’ll notice the gate dragging or failing to latch. We reset posts in extra-deep concrete collars and replace worn hinges with Jerith OEM hinge assemblies, not knockoff hardware.
- Wind-load stress fractures at Jerith panel-to-post connections. Exposed lots near the Intracoastal take sustained wind pressure that exceeds what 1990s-era Jerith installs were spec’d for. Hairline cracks at the screw points where panels meet posts are the early warning. We upgrade to heavier brackets and through-bolted connections that meet Palm Beach County’s post-Andrew 150+ mph design-pressure requirements.
- Rusted internal steel reinforcements on Jerith fences over 15 years old. Salt-driven moisture gets inside the hollow aluminum or steel channels and eats the internal reinforcement from the inside out. You won’t see it until a panel buckles. Once that’s happening in multiple sections, we usually recommend full replacement over piecemeal patching, because the corrosion is widespread and invisible.
Jerith Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boca Raton’s Architectural Review Board prohibits fences over six feet tall in front yards and requires Mediterranean-compatible finishes, which means a Jerith install here isn’t just a fence job. It’s a permit job with a design review attached. In practice, that adds three to five weeks to approval for any Jerith fence install, and the ARB will reject finishes that clash with the city’s mandated Addison Mizner aesthetic: smooth stucco walls, barrel-tile roofs, arched openings, and muted earth-tone or dark-bronze metalwork. Our team pre-files ARB submittals on every Boca project, so the material spec sheet and finish sample go in with the permit application, not after a rejection letter. That one habit is the difference between a Jerith fence that passes final inspection on the first submission and one that sits half-installed while you argue with the board. We learned this the hard way on a home in Broken Sound, where the ARB required a custom dark-bronze finish to match the home’s smooth stucco. We had pre-filed the spec, so the job passed on the first submission. The contractor who quoted before us had not.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We install, repair, and replace the full Jerith residential line: Regency Aluminum Fence, Estate Aluminum Fence, Premier Steel Fence, and Sentinel Steel Fence. For repairs, we use genuine Jerith OEM components only. Posts, pickets, hinges, latch assemblies: all order-matched to the exact profile and powder-coat chemistry of the original fencing. We keep a rolling stock of common Jerith posts, pickets, and gate hardware in our local inventory, which means most Boca Raton repair jobs don’t wait on a factory shipment. For Jerith fences older than fifteen years with multiple corroded sections, we’ll give you an honest recommendation: if the internal steel reinforcement is going in more than two or three places, piecemeal repair is throwing good money after bad, and full replacement costs less over five years than chasing rust every season.
Jerith Service Pricing in Boca Raton
What you’ll pay depends on three things: the Jerith model, the linear footage, and whether the ARB requires a custom finish. Here’s what we typically see across Boca Raton:
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Fence Installation (Jerith) | $4,000 - $10,000 |
| Roof Repair (tile roof with ARB barrel-tile matching) | $600 - $2,500 |
| Impact Window Installation (150+ mph rated) | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Every free estimate includes a written line-item quote with the exact Jerith components specified, so you know what you’re paying for before you sign. If the ARB comes back with a finish or height change, you’ll get a written change order with the revised number before we buy materials. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Jerith Construction in Boca Raton
No. Any front-yard fence in Boca Raton requires Architectural Review Board approval before installation, just as Boca Raton Bathroom Remodeling does for exterior changes. The ARB enforces height limits (six feet maximum in front yards) and Mediterranean-compatible finishes, and skipping that step means fines and a stop-work order. We pre-file ARB submittals on every Boca project so the approval doesn’t stall your install. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the exact submittal your property needs.
Jerith’s aluminum and steel fence lines can be engineered to meet Palm Beach County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load requirements, but only if the installation uses through-bolted connections and upgraded brackets, not the lighter fasteners common in 1990s-era installs. On exposed lots near the Intracoastal, we spec heavier post spacing and reinforced panel-to-post connections as standard. For an exact assessment of your existing Jerith fence, call (877) 610-1318.
A properly installed Jerith aluminum fence lasts 15 to 20 years in Boca Raton before serious corrosion or finish failure sets in. East of Federal Highway, where salt spray and irrigation overspray combine, expect the lower end of that range unless the fence gets regular rinsing and recoating. We can inspect your fence and tell you honestly whether it has five years left or none. Call (877) 610-1318.
We can color-match Jerith’s factory powder coat for a small panel repair, but the match will not be perfect. Jerith’s powder-coat chemistry is proprietary, and after years of UV exposure, the original finish has faded to a shade no new coating will match exactly. For a few damaged panels, the visual mismatch is usually acceptable. For a long, visible run, you’ll get better results replacing the full section. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you samples before you decide.
Yes. Gated communities in Boca Raton do not exempt you from city permitting or ARB review. In fact, many HOA boards in Boca Pointe, Woodfield, and Camino Real add their own architectural review on top of the city’s ARB process. We handle both: HOA submittal first, then city permit with ARB materials pre-filed. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that includes the full approval timeline.
