Jerith Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent Jerith fence and railing service across Selma, and the short version is this: we work on the aluminum systems installed on the city’s older ranch and bungalow homes, where the Central Valley sun, sandy soil, and vintage layouts create problems you won’t find in a newer subdivision. Powder coat failure, post lean, gate sag, rattling rails – these show up here in patterns we’ve learned to read over years of Selma jobs. If you need honest Jerith repair or replacement with a written price before work starts, call (559) 785-2712.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum fencing is built well, but Selma’s conditions test it. The 100°F-plus summers bake dark bronze and black powder coat until it chalks and fades. The sandy, fast-draining soils west of the railroad tracks don’t hold shallow posts. And homes built between the 1920s and 1980s often have fence lines that were never surveyed properly against lot boundaries. Our crews know these failure modes because we’ve corrected them on actual Selma streets, not just read about them in a manual. Curtis Lane, who leads Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno, spent years doing rough-in and foundation work before moving into fencing and our General Contractor in Selma services, so he treats a leaning Jerith post as a footing problem first, not a rail problem. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that tilts again by spring.
We are an independent Jerith service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop. That means we recommend what actually works for your fence line, whether that’s genuine Jerith hardware or a heavier-duty stainless steel hinge that outlasts the factory part in Selma’s dusty air. You get a straight answer, a written price, and no pressure.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Powder coat fading and chalking on Estate and Deluxe finishes. Selma summers hit over 100°F for weeks at a time, and UV exposure is relentless. Dark bronze and black Jerith finishes oxidize faster here than in coastal climates. We strip, prep, and refinish sections so they match the rest of the run without replacing good aluminum.
- Loose or wobbly posts in sandy soil. West of the railroad tracks, the soil drains fast and doesn’t grip shallow concrete footings. Winter rain saturates the ground, posts shift, and whole sections lean. We excavate, re-set posts to proper depth with polymer sand, and reattach rails using Jerith’s bracket system.
- Gate sag and latch misalignment on ranch-era homes. Many Selma homes from the 1950s through 1970s have original wood gate posts that develop dry rot. The Jerith gate is fine; the post it hangs from isn’t. We replace rotted posts, re-hang gates with heavier hinges, and adjust latches so the gate closes square.
- Section-to-post screw stripping from over-torqued original installs. Self-tapping screws driven too hard during installation eventually strip, and then rails rattle when wind comes down off the Sierra foothills. We replace worn screws with high-grade stainless steel and re-secure rails so they stay quiet.
- Fence lines installed without checking Selma’s older zero-lot-line plat maps. Homes in pre-1970 bungalow neighborhoods often sit close to lot lines. A fence placed a few inches over creates problems with neighbors, setbacks, and future construction. We survey against the correct plat before setting any new line.
Jerith Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Homes in Selma’s pre-1970 bungalow neighborhoods frequently have original 24-inch crawl space piers and stucco layered over lath from decades of Kitchen Remodeling in Selma and other updates. What that means for Jerith owners: any fence line installed along a garage or side setback has to be checked against the city’s older zero-lot-line plat maps. A fence that looks straight from the street can be sitting six inches onto the neighboring parcel, and you won’t know until a survey or a dispute happens. This situation is unlikely across the Kings River in Reedley, where lot lines were drawn differently. In Selma, we pull the plat before we dig. It’s a checkable local fact that saves homeowners from expensive corrections later.
Our tech recently removed a 150-foot run of Jerith Estate aluminum fence along a home off Rose Avenue that had developed a severe lean after winter storms. The original 2-inch square posts had been set in quick-dry concrete only 18 inches deep, and the sandy soil had washed out around the footing. We excavated each post, set new 24-inch-deep footings with polymer sand, reinstalled the original sections using Jerith’s rail bracket system, and re-leveled the gate with a heavier-duty hinge kit. The estimate said what we build, and we build what the estimate says.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Selma
We handle the full Jerith residential line: Estate aluminum fence, Deluxe aluminum fence, PicketPro aluminum fence, and Deluxe handrail. Most Selma homes we see run Estate or Deluxe sections, and both use the same internal rail brackets and post caps. When we need parts, we stock genuine Jerith universal post caps, finials, and internal rail brackets because aftermarket versions often have off-spec dimensions that leave rails loose. For wear items like gate hinges and self-tapping screws, we use high-grade stainless steel from industrial suppliers. That’s our approach: OEM where fit matters, upgraded metal where longevity matters.
If you’re looking for Jerith sales & service without the runaround, our written quotes cover both repair and replacement options. We’ll tell you if a section is worth saving or cheaper to swap.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Selma
The posts were likely set too shallow in Selma’s sandy, fast-draining soil. Winter rains saturate the ground, the soil loses grip around the footing, and the whole section shifts. We fix it by excavating each post, setting deeper footings with polymer sand, and reattaching rails with Jerith’s bracket system. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll inspect the footing depth before quoting.
Yes. We strip the affected sections, re-prep the aluminum, and apply a matched bronze finish. The repaired sections won’t be invisible, but they’ll read as the same color, and we’ll blend the sheen. Over time, UV evens everything out. For an exact match assessment, call (559) 785-2712.
We re-hang the gate. Typically the hinge-side post has settled or the original hinges have worn. We re-level the post if needed, install heavier-duty hinges, and adjust the latch so the gate swings clear of the concrete. If the post is rotted, we replace it first. Call (559) 785-2712 for a gate assessment.
Yes, and we pull the plat map first. Older Selma bungalows often sit close to lot lines, and a fence set even a few inches over causes problems. We survey against the correct plat before setting any post, so the line stays on your property. Call (559) 785-2712 to schedule a survey and estimate.
Replace the original self-tapping screws with high-grade stainless steel and re-secure the rail brackets. Wind off the Sierra foothills shakes loose screws that were over-torqued at install, and stainless holds better in Selma’s dusty air. It’s a straightforward fix. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll knock it out.
