Jerith Construction in Burbank, CA | Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles
We provide independent Jerith aluminum fence and gate service across Burbank, from Magnolia Park to the Rancho Equestrian District. The thing that makes our Jerith work here different is simple: we know how Burbank’s expanding clay soil, high-UV summers, and historic district rules affect these fences, and we plan for it before the first post goes in. Trevor Nash and our crews have installed and repaired Jerith fencing throughout the San Fernando Valley for years. Call (213) 277-6578 for a free estimate on any Jerith fence, gate, or repair in Burbank.
Why Burbank Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum fencing is a specific product with specific failure points. We have worked with the Estate Series, Premier Series, and Professional Series long enough to know which components hold up and which ones Burbank’s conditions will eventually test. Trevor Nash studied construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent two decades on residential jobs across the Basin before starting Penhallow Remodeling. That background means when we quote a Jerith fence in Burbank, we are already thinking about the clay soil under the posts, the sun exposure on the south-facing runs, and whether the gate hinges will still align five summers from now. Our Jerith sales & service work covers everything from new installations to section repairs, and we stock OEM panels and hardware locally so Burbank turnaround stays quick.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Burbank
Jerith fences are well-built, but Burbank has a way of finding the weak spots. Here is what we see most often:
- Powder-coat chalking and fading on south-facing runs. Burbank’s summer sun is relentless, especially in hillside neighborhoods where there is no tree canopy to break the UV. Jerith’s powder coat is durable, but prolonged exposure will eventually dull and chalk it. We see this most often on fences that face south with no shade, and we can tell you honestly whether a section needs touch-up coating or full replacement.
- Loose or wobbling posts from irrigation overspray. Many Burbank yards run sprinklers close to fence lines. When Jerith’s factory-installed post caps fail to seal against repeated overspray, water works its way inside the post, and that leads to internal corrosion at the base. We replace the post and the cap, and we reset the concrete so the next post drains properly.
- Gate sagging and latch misalignment on Jerith Estate Series double gates. Burbank sits on expanding clay soil. When that soil gets wet and dries out season after season, it shifts. Hinge posts move, gates sag, and latches stop lining up. We realign and reinforce the hinge posts rather than just adjusting the gate, because the adjustment alone will not last.
- Scratched and gouged panels from Santa Ana wind-blown debris. During Santa Ana events, gravel and branch fragments can scrape across a fence and expose raw aluminum. If it sits, the exposed metal starts to oxidize. We touch up those spots with color-matched coating to keep the fence intact and looking right.
- Fence lines that do not match the lot grade. Burbank lots are not flat, especially in the hills. A fence that looks straight at the top on paper might leave a gap at the bottom on a sloped yard. We measure and rack the panels to follow the grade, so you do not end up with a gap big enough for a dog to squeeze under.
Jerith Service in Burbank: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Burbank’s Rancho Equestrian District is genuinely unusual, and it changes how we spec a Jerith fence there. This neighborhood is not like the rest of Burbank, and it is certainly not like Glendale or North Hollywood. Under the district’s specific zoning rules, fence heights and styles have to preserve the area’s rural character. That often means a Jerith Estate Series panel in a custom height, paired with a wider gate opening so a horse trailer or a rider can actually pass through. We have installed these specs, and we know the difference between what the city will approve and what will get flagged. If you own property in the Rancho district, tell us up front, because the permit path and the panel spec are different from a standard residential fence anywhere else in Burbank.
One recent job comes to mind: a 1930s Storybook home off North Lima Street in Magnolia Park. The old chain-link fence was rusted through in spots, and a mature tree had cracked the concrete footing around several posts. We pulled the old fence, excavated the root-damaged concrete, and set new posts with extra concrete collars to handle the root pressure. Then we hung Jerith Estate Series 60-inch black aluminum panels and a matching single gate with self-closing hinges. The powder-coated black finish tied into the home’s iron accents, and it held through the summer heat without softening or streaking. That is the kind of job where the local conditions and the Jerith product have to work together.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Burbank
We work on the full Jerith lineup: the Estate Series, Premier Series, Professional Series, and the broader Ornamental Aluminum Fence line. If you have an existing Jerith fence and need a matching section, we source OEM panels, gates, and hardware directly from distributors so the color and profile match exactly. For components that sit in the ground, we take a different approach. We use high-grade aftermarket concrete and post anchors rather than whatever came with the original install, because Burbank’s expansive clay soil demands a stronger anchor. We repair panels and gates whenever they can be salvaged without visible compromise, and we recommend replacement for sections that are heavily chalked or corroded. Our service area covers all of Burbank service area neighborhoods, and we keep common Jerith parts stocked locally so most repairs do not wait on a distributor shipment.

AfterJerith Service Pricing in Burbank
Here are the line-item ranges you can expect for Jerith work in Burbank, so the first conversation starts with real numbers:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Fence Installation (Jerith) | $4,000 – $10,000 |
| Gate Addition or Replacement | $500 – $2,500 |
| Fence Repair / Section Replacement | $300 – $1,800 |
What drives the cost in Burbank specifically? Lot grade is a big one. A sloped hillside lot needs racked panels and possibly custom post lengths, which adds labor. Soil conditions matter too: if the existing concrete is cracked from clay movement or tree roots, we have to excavate and reset the posts properly. And if you are in the Rancho Equestrian District, custom heights and wider gates add to the panel cost. Our free estimate includes a written price before any work starts, so the number we give you is the number you pay. Call (213) 277-6578 to schedule one.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Burbank
No. Aluminum does not warp or crack from heat the way wood or vinyl can. What you will see over time on a south-facing Burbank fence is powder-coat fading and chalking from UV exposure. That is a finish issue, not a structural one, and it is repairable with color-matched touch-up or recoating. Call (213) 277-6578 if you want us to assess your fence’s finish.
In most Burbank residential zones, replacing an existing fence at the same height and location typically does not trigger a permit, but height limits and front-yard visibility rules apply, and the Rancho Equestrian District has its own requirements. We will tell you what applies to your specific property before we quote the job, so there are no surprises at the building department.
Yes. Jerith panels can be racked, meaning the panel steps down with the grade, or in some cases cut and re-notched for a clean fit. We measure the grade on site and spec the panel so the fence follows the slope without leaving gaps at the bottom. This is standard practice for any Burbank hillside install we do.
We dig the post holes deeper than the minimum and use a reinforced concrete collar around each post, not just a bag of fast-setting mix. Burbank’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, and a shallow post will loosen over time. The concrete collar spreads the load and keeps the post stable through wet winters and dry summers. For more context on how we approach soil conditions across the region, see Jerith service in Los Angeles.
It depends on the extent of the chalking and whether any internal corrosion has started. If the chalking is cosmetic and the posts are sound, recoating is cheaper and the fence has years left. If the finish has degraded to the point where bare metal is oxidizing and posts are corroding at the base, replacement makes more sense. We will show you the condition up close and give you a written price for either path. Call (213) 277-6578 for an honest assessment.
