Jerith Construction in Irvine, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Jerith aluminum fence service across Irvine, from the older villages like University Park and Woodbridge to the newer builds in Portola Springs and Great Park. The one thing that makes our Jerith work here different is that we know the dual-permit pipeline: City of Irvine permits plus village-level Architectural Review Committee approval, and we handle both before a single post hole gets dug. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a crew that has worked these villages for over 29 years.
Why Irvine Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. We live and work in Southern California, and we’ve set enough Jerith fence panels in Irvine to know how the powder coat reacts to inland sun, how the post bases behave in expansive clay, and which HOA boards want bronze and which want black. We stock standard Jerith gate hinges, self-latching pool latches, and post caps locally so we can turn around most repairs in a single visit. For custom finials or older color codes, we order OEM powder-coated parts directly from Jerith’s Pennsylvania plant rather than forcing an aftermarket match that fades differently by year two.
You can look up our license number, our address, and Tom’s name before you sign anything. We publish them. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and every quote comes in writing with a change order if anything shifts. That’s how we’ve kept homeowners in Irvine and across Southern California coming back since the Clinton administration.
Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Irvine
- Gate sagging in University Park and Woodbridge. The original hinge adjusters seize from lack of lubrication, and years of kids swinging on the gate bend the steel pin inside the hinge. We replace the adjuster and pin, re-hang the gate to clear the latch, and match the existing Jerith powder coat on the touch-up.
- Post bases cracking concrete footings on clay slopes. Around Turtle Rock and Quail Hill, expansive clay shifts seasonally. The Jerith aluminum post rarely bends, but the concrete footing around it cracks. We dig out the old footing, set the post with deeper rebar and a gap so the soil can move without torquing the post, and re-pour.
- Faded factory powder coat on full-sun exposures. Black and bronze Jerith panels fade unevenly in Portola Springs and Great Park, especially on west-facing runs. We do color-matched touch-up for small areas or full panel respray when the fading has gone patchy across a street-facing HOA elevation.
- Corroded lower rail screws from sprinkler overspray. HOA setback rules in Irvine often put fence panels inside landscape strips. Jerith’s aluminum resists rust, but the plain steel screw heads on some runs don’t. We swap them for coated fasteners and adjust the sprinkler heads so the overspray stops eating the hardware.
- Weld-point stress at rail brackets. We see this most often on sloped lots where the fence steps down. The rail bracket welds take the torque when the soil moves. We re-weld, reinforce the bracket, and match the Jerith finish so the repair doesn’t stand out.
Jerith Service in Irvine: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what nobody tells you about Jerith fences in Irvine: a fence in Woodbridge or Northwood is not just a property boundary. It must be approved by the village Architectural Review Committee before we dig. The ARC often requires a specific Jerith color (usually black or bronze) and a minimum setback from the sidewalk that is not in the city’s standard fence code. A contractor who doesn’t know this will install a code-compliant fence that the HOA orders removed at the contractor’s expense, not yours, if you’re lucky. We submit the ARC application with the Jerith product spec sheet attached, the color code matched to the village design guidelines, and the setback measured to the inch. Then we pull the City of Irvine permit. Two approvals, one fence, no do-overs. That’s the job in Irvine.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Irvine
We install and repair the full Jerith aluminum line: the standard Residential Aluminum Fence in 4-6 foot panels with spear-top or flat-top pickets, the Estate Collection with heavier gauge pickets and finials at 6-8 feet, the Pool Code Fence with self-latching, climb-resistant designs that meet BOCA/ISPSC pool barrier codes, and the Industrial/Commercial line for taller runs when a village layout calls for it. For repairs we’re honest about the math: a deeply scratched or heavily faded panel on a high-visibility HOA street is usually cheaper to replace than to sandblast and re-coat. We’ll tell you which one makes sense before you spend a dollar. Our crews also handle Jerith sales & service beyond Irvine, with the same OEM parts discipline.
Jerith Service Pricing in Irvine
Jerith fence work in Irvine runs on a few variables: panel height, gate count, slope work, and HOA-required extras like concrete curbs under the fence line. Here’s what we typically quote for Irvine Kitchen Remodeling and fence projects:

FAQs - Jerith Construction in Irvine
Yes, but only if the installer submits the right paperwork first. University Park’s ARC requires replacement fences to match the original profile, color, and setback, which means the Jerith spec sheet and color code must be attached to the ARC application before the city permit is pulled. We handle both approvals in sequence. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your village requires.
The aluminum itself holds up well. The issue is the concrete footing in expansive clay, which can crack from seasonal soil movement. We set Jerith posts with deeper rebar and a separation gap so the soil shifts without torquing the post. The fence stays straight.
Almost always just the one panel. Jerith panels are modular, so we order the OEM panel in your exact color code and swap it in. The exception is when fading has made the whole run patchy; then respraying the section makes more visual sense than a single bright new panel. We’ll show you both quotes.
Yes. We install Jerith Pool Code Fence with self-latching, climb-resistant pickets that meet BOCA/ISPSC pool barrier codes. The gate gets a spring-loaded latch at the required height, and we verify the release mechanism with the inspector on site. Estimates for pool fence work and our Bathroom Remodeling in Irvine are free; call (877) 610-1318.
Wash it twice a year with mild soap and water, especially the lower rails near sprinkler lines. Hard water staining from overspray is the biggest issue we see. After a strong Santa Ana event, check the gate hinges for grit and give them a light silicone spray, or call us for Jerith service in Santa Ana. Inspect rail bracket welds once a year if you’re on a slope. If anything looks off, call us and we’ll come take a look. A small fix now is cheaper than a panel replacement later.

We set a 6-foot Jerith Estate panel fence in Quail Hill up a slope where the HOA required a 12-inch deep concrete curb under the fence line to stop soil creep. The post bases went in with extra rebar and a gap to the curb so the clay could move. ARC inspection passed, city final passed on the first visit. That’s the standard we bring to every Jerith fence in Irvine. Call (877) 610-1318 for your free estimate, and we’ll show up when we say we will. We’ll do it right the first time, or we’ll come back and make it right.
