Jerith Construction in Pomona, CA | Alder Contractors
We install, repair, and re-level Jerith aluminum and vinyl fencing across Pomona as an independent General Contractor – Pomona, not a manufacturer dealer. The work that sets us apart here is simple: we know how Jerith rails, posts, and gate hardware fail on Pomona’s pre-1940 raised-foundation lots, where clay soil movement racks fence lines that would stand plumb in a neighboring tract city. Call (833) 467-7020 and we’ll come look at your line before you spend a dollar on parts you may not need.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
We work on Jerith fences and gates in Pomona every month, and we offer Jerith repair in Montclair as well. That frequency matters. A contractor who touches a Jerith Traditional picket run twice a year learns the failure points by repetition, and we’ve learned them across the 91766 bungalow core, the mid-century tract pockets, and the newer 91768 subdivisions. We source OEM Jerith pickets, post caps, and hinge hardware when the profile is still in production, and we keep dimensionally matched aftermarket aluminum on hand for discontinued runs where waiting on a replacement part would stall the job. Nelson Ibarra, our owner, learned framing and finish work in the Inland Empire and still walks every Pomona fence job himself before we quote. That’s how we catch the post-footing problem before it becomes a gate that drags.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Heaved posts on clay lots. Pomona’s expansive clay swells with winter moisture and shrinks through the dry summers. A shallow post footing in the 91766 core will lift and settle with the soil, pulling a Jerith aluminum picket section out of plumb and springing rail-to-post fasteners. We re-set posts on deeper concrete footings so the line stops moving.
- Powder-coat chalking and cut-end corrosion. South- and west-facing Jerith pickets take years of 100°F-plus summer sun. The factory powder coat eventually chalks, chips at welds, and exposes the aluminum at cut ends. We sand, treat, and match a touch-up coat that slows the failure, or we swap damaged pickets when the section is too far gone.
- Dragging driveway gates after Santa Ana seasons. Wind season works gates hard, especially when the original hinge post wasn’t set deep enough. We replace worn OEM hinges, re-set the gate post, and re-plumb the line so the self-closing latch catches cleanly instead of dragging a groove in the concrete.
- Racked panels near settling bungalow fence lines. A Jerith run tied into an aging pier-and-beam home’s fence line will follow the structure’s movement. We isolate the fence from the settling section so the aluminum stops racking even as the house keeps working.
- Mismatched repairs from previous handymen. We see a lot of aftermarket pickets wedged into Jerith runs with self-tapping screws and bent rails. The profile looks close until you stand back. We pull the wrong parts and re-match the line so it reads as one fence, not a patch job.
Jerith Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pomona’s pre-1940 bungalows around the 91766 core sit on raised pier-and-beam foundations over expansive clay, which means the ground under those fence lines is already moving before the first post goes in. We’ve set Jerith posts on north Pomona tract lots where a standard 24-inch footing holds square for decades. The same footing on a downtown-core lot near a raised foundation will heave within a few seasons because the house and the fence are settling at different rates, and the clay compounds every inch. That’s why we quote deeper post footings and isolated gate posts for Jerith runs tied into older Pomona properties. It’s not an upsell. It’s the difference between a fence that stays plumb and a racked line the next contractor quotes for full replacement. A generic Jerith page won’t tell you that. A Pomona-specific one has to.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We install and repair the full Jerith lineup you’re most likely to have in Pomona, plus we handle Los Serranos Jerith service: the Traditional and Classic aluminum picket fences, the Regency ornamental aluminum line, and the Cambridge-style vinyl privacy panels. We also rebuild and re-hang Jerith aluminum driveway and walk gates with self-closing hinges. If your run is still in production, we match OEM pickets, rails, post caps, and hinge hardware. If the profile’s discontinued, we use dimensionally matched quality aftermarket aluminum and tell you exactly where it differs before we install it. If more than about a third of the fence is damaged, we’ll quote a full re-run rather than patching a racked line that will keep failing. Pomona homeowners from the 91766 core to the 91768 subdivisions get the same straight answer.

Post footing depth is the biggest cost driver on a Pomona Jerith run. Clay lots in the older core need deeper concrete footings than compacted tract soil, and gate posts always take the most abuse from wind and settling structures. Our free estimate covers the post schedule, material match, and labor line by line, so you can see where the money goes before you sign. Call (833) 467-7020 for an exact number on your fence line.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Pomona
It’s usually a re-post. Santa Ana winds put steady lateral force on the gate leaf, and if the original hinge post wasn’t set deep enough or set into expansive clay, the post leans and the gate drags. We check the post plumb first, then the hinge wear, then the latch alignment. If the post moved, we dig it out, set a deeper footing, and re-hang the gate with fresh OEM hinges. Call (833) 467-7020 and we’ll tell you which it is on the first visit.
Yes, and measurably so. The 91766 core sits on clay that moves with seasonal moisture, and that movement follows the raised pier-and-beam foundations of the older bungalows. A Jerith run on a north Pomona tract lot with compacted soil and more uniform drainage will hold square far longer than the same run on a downtown-core lot where the ground rises and falls with the rain cycle. We set deeper footings in the older neighborhoods because we’ve seen what shallow ones do.
If the chalking is surface-level and the aluminum underneath is sound, we sand, treat, and re-coat the affected sections with a matched touch-up. If the corrosion has eaten into the welds or cut ends, we replace the damaged pickets. A full replacement only makes sense when more than about a third of the run is compromised. Most Pomona fences we see hit that point after a decade of west-side sun, not a couple of seasons.
Often yes. When the profile is still in production, we order the OEM picket, rail, post cap, or hinge. When it’s discontinued, we source dimensionally matched aftermarket aluminum and show you the difference in profile and finish before it goes on the fence. You’ll know exactly what’s going up, not a close-enough part buried in a quote.
We isolate the fence from the settling section. That means setting independent posts with deeper footings at the transition point and using rail hardware that allows slight movement without pulling the pickets out of plumb. If the house is still actively settling, we’ll schedule a re-check in 12 to 18 months and adjust before the rack returns. Call (833) 467-7020 for a free look at your property line.
