Jerith Construction in Mountain View, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent Jerith fence installation and repair across Mountain View, from Waverly Park to Cuesta Park, and Home Remodeling – Mountain View for properties throughout the area. The thing that makes our Jerith work here different is simple: we understand how Eichler-era lots with slab-on-grade patios and tight property lines change the way a fence run has to be set, racked, and repaired. Most fence contractors treat a Jerith panel like any other aluminum panel. We don’t. Call (866) 505-5254 to get a straight answer on your fence.
Why Mountain View Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum and vinyl fencing is a specific product with specific failure patterns. We’ve installed and repaired Jerith sales & service runs across the Peninsula and South Bay long enough to know what holds up in Bay Area conditions and what doesn’t. Noel Cabrera, our owner, grew up around Daly City’s fog-weathered postwar homes and has spent his career focused on materials that fail gracefully, not suddenly. In Mountain View specifically, that means knowing how Jerith’s Barracuda aluminum line behaves after ten summers of rain-shadow sun, and how vinyl privacy sections bow when original post footings were set too shallow in expansive clay. We’re an independent contractor. We buy Jerith components through distribution and stand behind our own installation work. No manufacturer authorization, no warranty endorsement implied. Just honest, informed service for Mountain View service area homeowners.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Mountain View
- Chalking and oxidation at cut picket ends: West-facing property lines here take the full brunt of Mountain View’s summer sun, then get hit with atmospheric-river wetting cycles in winter. If touch-up paint wasn’t applied at the factory cut points, those exposed aluminum ends chalk white and eventually pit. We re-dress the ends, apply proper touch-up, and in bad cases replace individual pickets.
- Bowed vinyl privacy sections and dropped posts: The original footings on a lot of Mountain View Jerith vinyl runs were set shallow, sometimes only 10 to 14 inches deep. Clay soil expands and contracts, and a shallow post in clay will move. The panels bow, the line sags, and the whole run looks tired. The fix is not new vinyl. It’s re-setting posts on deeper footings.
- Gate sag and hinge tear-out: Mountain View’s Eichler and rancher lots often have grade changes the original installer never racked the panels for. Over time, a gate that fights the slope will sag at the hinges or tear the hinge screws right out of the post. We re-hang with stainless hardware and re-rack the panels to the actual grade, not the original line.
- Fastener bleed at bottom rails near irrigation: Where sprinkler overspray and damp soil sit against the fence line, bottom rail fasteners corrode and bleed rust stains down the panel face. We replace the fasteners with stainless and address the drainage or spray pattern so it doesn’t come back in a year.
- Leaning runs beside slab-on-grade patios: This is the classic Mountain View failure mode. A Jerith post set a foot deep in clay next to a neighbor’s patio slab will lean. Hand-digging and selective concrete cutting around buried utilities is how we fix it without cracking the slab.
Jerith Service in Mountain View: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something every Mountain View Jerith owner should know, and it’s not something a generic fence page will tell you—though if you need Jerith repair in Los Altos, we cover that too. The postwar Eichler and rancher lots in Waverly Park and Cuesta Park were platted with shallow, tightly shared property lines and slab-on-grade patios. So a Jerith fence run here often sits inches from a neighbor’s slab and existing concrete. That means post holes are hand-dug or concrete-cut around buried utilities rather than trenched. It also means the standard Jerith post footing depth of 18 to 24 inches isn’t always achievable without cutting concrete, which is exactly where a lot of fence companies either quote a fortune or cheat the depth. We hand-dig, we cut selectively, and we set posts deep enough that the clay doesn’t push them over in three years. Tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs, then we’ll figure out the right fix.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Mountain View
We work on the full Jerith residential aluminum and vinyl line. That includes Jerith Barracuda aluminum residential fence, Roman-style vinyl privacy fencing, aluminum pool-code and picket fence with rackable panels, and vinyl picket and post-and-rail runs. For parts, we use genuine Jerith panels, posts, caps, and hinges when the run has to stay visually consistent, and quality aftermarket stainless fasteners and touch-up paint on cut ends. We repair sections, racks, gates, and single panels when the posts and footings are sound. We recommend full-run replacement only when footings or UV-degraded vinyl have genuinely failed. Most Mountain View repairs are section-level fixes, not teardowns.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Mountain View
Because the factory cut points weren’t touched up, and Mountain View’s rain-shadow summer sun plus winter atmospheric-river moisture accelerates oxidation on exposed aluminum. It’s cosmetic at first, but if left for years it can pit the metal. We re-dress and touch up the ends, and replace pickets that have gone too far. Call (866) 505-5254 for a repair quote.
Yes. We hand-dig around the post, clear the utilities, and cut only the minimum concrete needed to get a full-depth footing beside the slab. The goal is a plumb post that stays plumb, not a cracked neighbor’s patio. This is one of the most common repairs we do in Waverly Park and Cuesta Park.
It depends on the posts and the vinyl. If the posts are still sound and the vinyl hasn’t UV-brittled, re-setting posts and re-hanging panels is usually the right move and costs significantly less than a new run. If the vinyl itself is chalked, brittle, or cracked across multiple panels, replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you which one you need after a site walk, not a phone call. Call (866) 505-5254 for an honest assessment.
We do. Atmospheric-river storms push saturated soil against fence posts and wind loads against panel faces. When a section goes down or a gate tears out, we can usually repair the section rather than replace the run. The sooner we look at it, the fewer panels you’ll need to replace. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll get out to assess it.
Most section-level repairs run a fraction of full replacement. The range depends on what failed: a gate re-hang with new stainless hinges is at the low end, while re-setting multiple posts beside slabs with selective concrete cutting is higher. A full Jerith aluminum install runs $4,000 to $10,000, and vinyl $3,500 to $9,000. The exact quote is free. Call (866) 505-5254 to schedule it.
