Our team carries OEM Jerith pickets, rails, post caps, and hinge hardware and handles everything from section repair to complete reinstallation. As a General Contractor – North Tustin, we don’t just patch fence lines. We address the grading, drainage, and fire-access questions that come with building on North Tustin’s hillside lots. One contractor, every phase.
Why North Tustin Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Most fence companies in Jerith repair in Orange County are set up for flat tract lots and standard residential fencing. North Tustin isn’t that. The lots above Cowan Heights and along the canyonside streets have slope, wind exposure, and fire-review requirements that change how a Jerith run has to be built. We’ve spent years working these specific properties, and we know how Jerith’s Patriot and Designer series aluminum hold up when the Santa Anas hit.
Nolan Breckett, our owner, grew up in the Baker Ranch area of Lake Forest and came up through the construction technology program at Saddleback College before spending decades on residential and light commercial work across South Orange County. He’ll tell you the same thing he tells every North Tustin homeowner: know what you’re getting into before the first nail goes in. We carry OEM Jerith parts so repairs match existing profiles and finishes, and we keep our estimate process transparent, with defined scopes and no surprise invoices.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in North Tustin
- Wind-driven post and panel fatigue. Santa Ana wind events on exposed canyonside streets above Newport Avenue torque aluminum pickets and loosen post footings, especially where panels were set in shallow concrete on graded slopes. We re-plumb posts, re-set footings, and replace bent pickets with OEM Jerith profiles.
- Hillside drainage and slope wash undermining post footings. Dry-season erosion and storm runoff on graded lots backfilled against the Santa Ana foothills rot or heave the concrete collars Jerith posts depend on. We dig out, re-grade where needed, and re-set posts with proper drainage away from the slope.
- Sun-and-heat finish breakdown. Inland canyon UV and heat chalk and fade Jerith powder-coated aluminum and degrade vinyl color through, most visible on south- and west-facing runs. We can match existing Jerith colors closely and replace only the sections that need it, not the whole run.
- Root and limb damage plus gate sag. Mature eucalyptus and pepper tree roots heave fence lines while falling limbs bend pickets and rack Jerith gate hinges out of alignment. We repair hinge hardware, straighten or replace pickets, and advise on limb clearance so the fix lasts.
- Shallow footings on graded lots. Too many Jerith installations in North Tustin were set with post holes that are too shallow for slope conditions. We re-set footings to proper depth with drainage, because a fence is only as good as what’s holding it down.
Jerith Service in North Tustin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
North Tustin’s canyon-edge lots sit in a wildfire-exposure WUI zone under OCFA fire review, so fencing and gate placement here has to preserve defensible space and emergency access. That’s a constraint tract-lot fence installs never face. When we’re installing a Jerith aluminum picket run along a hillside property line, we have to consider how the fence interacts with the fire department’s access path, where gates need to open, and whether the material and placement create a defensible-space problem. It’s not just about setting posts and hanging panels. It’s about building a fence that won’t get flagged on review and won’t have to come out later.
On a canyonside lot above Newport Avenue in Cowan Heights, a Villa Park Jerith service call showed how a Santa Ana wind event had racked a Jerith aluminum picket run and sheared two gate hinges where the posts were set shallow into graded slope. We pulled the bent pickets, re-set the footings in deeper concrete with proper drainage away from the slope, swapped in OEM Jerith hinges and caps, and left the homeowner with a true-plumb gate and defensible clearance from the eucalyptus overhang. The fence wasn’t the only problem. The way it had been set into the slope was.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in North Tustin
We service Jerith Patriot series aluminum picket, Jerith Designer series aluminum ornamental, Jerith vinyl privacy in Victorian and Concord styles, and Jerith aluminum estate and ranch rail. For repairs, we use genuine Jerith OEM pickets, rails, post caps, and hinge hardware to match profiles and finishes exactly, and we turn to quality aftermarket aluminum and stainless fasteners where OEM isn’t practical. We keep common Jerith profiles and hardware on hand for faster North Tustin turnaround, so you’re not waiting on a special order for a standard picket repair.
We repair bent pickets and re-set footings when the frame is sound, and we recommend full replacement only when posts are rotted through or the run has lost structural integrity. If you want to learn more about our broader Jerith work, see our Jerith sales & service page.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in North Tustin
Only if the posts are set deep enough and the footings drain properly. On exposed canyonside streets above Newport Avenue, shallow post settings are the main reason Jerith runs rack and fail. We re-set footings deeper with drainage away from the slope, which makes the difference. Call (866) 623-7205 for an on-site look.
Yes. We use genuine Jerith OEM pickets, rails, post caps, and hinge hardware that match your existing profiles and finishes closely. Faded powder coat or vinyl will show some variation, but the profile and structural match are exact.
It can. North Tustin canyon-edge lots are under OCFA fire review, and fence and gate placement has to preserve defensible space and emergency access. We factor that into every Jerith installation or major repair on these properties, so you don’t get flagged after the work is done. Call (866) 623-7205 and we’ll explain what applies to your parcel.
Often it’s drainage. Storm runoff and dry-season erosion on graded lots backfilled against the foothills rot or heave the concrete collars Jerith posts depend on. We diagnose whether the post, the footing, or the slope is the root cause before we quote a repair.
If the posts are sound and the frame still has integrity, we repair bent pickets and re-set footings. If the posts are rotted through or the run has lost structural strength, replacement is the honest call. We’ll show you the damage and explain the recommendation before anything gets torn out. Call (866) 623-7205 for a free estimate.
