Jerith Construction in Austin, TX | Mason Remodeling Co Austin
We install and repair Jerith aluminum and steel fencing across Austin as an independent service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. While we also offer Bathroom Remodeling in Austin, our Jerith fence work stands on its own expertise. What makes our Jerith work different here is simple: we’ve seen how Austin’s limestone bedrock, expansive east-side clay, and the Save Our Springs Ordinance affect these fences in ways a generic installer never would. If you need Jerith fence work in Austin, call (903) 623-1966 for a free estimate with a written price before any work begins.
Our crews know the Jerith product lines inside and out because we’ve installed and repaired them through three freeze-thaw cycles and two major hail events on Central Texas soil and slopes. That experience means we can tell you where a Jerith powder coat will hold up and where it won’t in Austin before you spend a dollar.
Why Austin Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Isaac Pruett, our owner, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years doing residential and commercial work up and down the West Coast before bringing his crews to Austin. He’s known for showing up on time, giving straight estimates, and not leaving a job until the punch list is actually finished. His signature line says it best: “Tell me what’s wrong with it. We’ll figure out what it actually needs.”
We service every Jerith line sold in Austin: Residential Aluminum (Regal, Classic, and Estate series), Industrial Aluminum, Steel Fence (Ornamental and Estate Steel), and Pool Fence in both aluminum and steel. As an independent provider, we stock genuine Jerith rails, pickets, and gate hardware for structural repairs, plus quality aftermarket aluminum parts for non-structural fixes like caps and latch covers. That mix keeps your fence right without overcharging you for pieces that don’t carry load. See our full Jerith sales & service page for details on what we cover.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Austin
- Powder coat peeling at the bottom rail. Austin’s humidity holds moisture against the base of the fence, especially on east-side clay that stays damp under grass. Trapped water lifts the powder coat and starts bubbling. We strip the affected section, treat the aluminum, and replace damaged rails with genuine Jerith stock.
- Gate sag on Estate Steel series. Those gates are heavy. On Austin’s expansive clay, gate posts shift with every wet-dry cycle. The hinge tears out or the gate drags. We reset the post in a deeper concrete pier with crushed rock drainage and rehang using a steel-core hinge kit.
- Racking on West Austin slopes. Fences that step down limestone ledges put serious stress on the picket-to-rail friction fits. Pickets pop out of the top rail and the whole section racks. We reset posts in concrete piers that reach below the limestone fill and replace stretched friction-fit pickets with new Jerith parts.
- Corrosion at steel post bases. When posts get set directly into limestone-filled holes with poor drainage, water sits against the steel and rust bleeds through the coating. We pull the post, clean the base, and reset it with proper drainage so it doesn’t happen again.
- Pool fence code failures. Austin pool codes are specific about barrier height, gate self-latching, and spacing. We see Jerith pool fences that were installed without meeting the current standard. We bring them into compliance, which matters for safety and for insurance.
Jerith Service in Austin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Fence
Here’s something most fence companies in Austin won’t tell you: the Save Our Springs Ordinance requires any fence replacement on property in the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone to use non-corrosive materials. Jerith aluminum is one of the few fence brands that clears that bar without galvanic reaction in our limestone backfill. What that means for you: if you’re replacing a fence in southwest Austin, Tarrytown, or Barton Hills and you want it to last without the city flagging the materials, Jerith aluminum is the practical choice. We’ve handled enough of these replacements to know exactly what the ordinance requires and how to document the compliance for your records.
We had a job in Barton Hills where a Jerith Regal aluminum fence along a slope had three sections racked so badly from shifting limestone fill that the pickets popped out of the top rail. Our tech reset the posts in deeper concrete piers with crushed rock drainage, replaced the stretched friction-fit pickets with new Jerith parts, and rehung the gate with a steel-core hinge kit to stop the sag. That’s the difference between patching a problem and fixing it.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Austin
We work on every Jerith fence line sold in the Austin market. The Residential Aluminum series (Regal, Classic, Estate) covers most backyard and front-yard fences. Industrial Aluminum handles commercial and high-security applications. Steel Fence (Ornamental and Estate Steel) is the heavy-duty option we see on larger properties and some HOA-governed neighborhoods. Pool Fence comes in both aluminum and steel and needs to meet Austin’s pool barrier code, which we handle directly.
Our parts approach is straight: genuine Jerith rails, pickets, and gate hardware when the structural integrity matters, especially for pool code compliance. For non-structural pieces like caps, latch covers, and post caps, we install quality aftermarket aluminum that matches the original profile and costs less. If a fence has a cracked post or rusted bottom rail and replacement costs less than 60% of new, we’ll tell you straight instead of rebuilding it. That’s the honest call.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Austin
Yes, Jerith aluminum pool fencing meets Austin’s pool barrier code requirements when installed with the correct height, self-closing and self-latching gate hardware, and proper picket spacing. We handle the compliance details on every pool fence we install, including documentation for inspections. Call (903) 623-1966 if you need your pool fence checked against the current code.
Chalking is the powder coat’s UV-stabilized top layer breaking down under Austin’s intense sun, and it’s usually cosmetic, not structural. The bigger problem we see is peeling at the bottom rail from trapped humidity, and that needs to be addressed before the aluminum degrades. We can match Jerith’s factory colors for spot repairs or full section replacement.
Yes, the Jerith Regal, Classic, and Estate profiles have stayed consistent across model years, so we can match the rail profile and picket spacing on a fence installed a decade ago. We carry genuine Jerith rails and pickets for structural pieces and source aftermarket matches for caps and latch covers. Send us a photo and we’ll identify what you have.
On Austin’s east side, where blackland prairie clay shrinks and swells dramatically, Jerith aluminum is the better choice. Aluminum is lighter and flexes slightly with soil movement, while steel is more rigid and transfers that movement into the posts and gate hinges. If you want steel, we’ll set the posts in deeper concrete piers with crushed rock drainage to reduce the movement stress. Call (903) 623-1966 for a straight answer about your specific lot.
A dragging gate after a drought is almost always a post that settled as the soil dried out. We lift the gate, reset the post in a concrete pier that goes below the movement zone, and add crushed rock drainage so the base doesn’t hold water. Then we rehang with a steel-core hinge kit and adjust the latch. The fix usually runs $450 to $1,800 depending on how far the post moved. Call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll get you a straight price.
