Jerith Construction in Montclair, CA | Square Deal Contractors
We provide independent Jerith fence and gate service across Montclair, from panel replacement to full installations. The thing that makes our Jerith work different here: nearly every project in Montclair involves working behind existing block walls on tight infill lots, which changes how posts get set and how access gets handled. Our crews know Jerith extrusion profiles, bracket systems, and powder-coat finishes, and we know how to install them right in a city built out decades ago.
We’re Square Deal Contractors, and we’ve been doing this work in the Pomona Valley long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. If you need Jerith aluminum or vinyl fencing, railing, or a gate matched to an existing run, call us at (866) 623-7205 for a free estimate.
Why Montclair Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Most fence companies in Montclair can hang a panel. Very few can match a Jerith Orleans Series extrusion profile to a fence that’s been on the property for fifteen years. We can. We stock OEM Jerith panels, posts, brackets, and latches when they’re available, and when a style is discontinued, we source aftermarket equivalents that match the original aluminum gauge and powder-coat color closely enough that you won’t spot the difference from the sidewalk.
Nolan Breckett, our owner, grew up in South Orange County and spent years working residential and light commercial jobs before Square Deal got its name. His approach hasn’t changed: look at the site, understand the soil and the exposure, then give you a straight answer about what needs replacing and what can be repaired. As he puts it, “Know what you’re getting into before the first nail goes in.” That’s how we scope every Jerith fence project in Montclair.
We’re a full general contractor, so when a fence replacement turns up a drainage issue or a retaining wall problem, we handle it under the same contract. No passing you off to another crew. One contractor, every phase.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Montclair
Jerith builds a good product, but Montclair’s climate and older lots push fencing harder than most places. Here’s what we see regularly:
- Powder-coat chalking on west-facing aluminum panels. The inland heat and dry Santa Ana winds wear down Jerith finishes faster here, especially on runs that take full afternoon sun along the 91763 corridor. We’ll tell you honestly whether touch-up or section replacement makes more sense.
- Vinyl post deflection in expansive clay soil. Montclair’s 1950s – 70s housing stock sits on soils that swell and shrink. Posts set shallow will lean after a few wet winters. We re-set them with deeper footings and proper drainage so the fence stays plumb.
- Corrosion at gate welds and fasteners near old irrigation lines. Damp soil from aging utility laterals speeds galvanic reaction on aluminum gate hardware. If your gate hinges are loose and the post base has that white chalky corrosion, the fix usually starts underground.
- Gate latch misalignment on sloped or settling infill lots. Rear-yard ADUs in Montclair mean gates get opened and closed daily, often multiple times. A gate dragging on the ground or failing to latch properly is usually a footing or hinge issue, not a latch issue.
- Fence runs behind block walls with no access. This is the Montclair signature problem. The old fence sits on the property line, the neighbor’s block wall is two feet away, and the panel won’t come out without cutting it. We’ve handled enough of these to do it without tearing up the neighbor’s landscaping.
Jerith Service in Montclair: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Montclair is nearly 100% built out, almost every Jerith fence project involves replacing an existing fence along a property line behind block walls, where access is limited and setbacks are tight. That makes post removal and precise re-setting more time-consuming than the fence install itself. On a recent job off Holt Avenue, we replaced a failing Jerith Orleans aluminum fence along a narrow side yard. The original posts had heaved from expansive clay soil. We pulled the old panels, re-set new posts with deeper concrete footings, and installed fresh Jerith panels with a self-closing gate. The fence cleared the setback inspection and stayed solid through the next Santa Ana event.
This is not how fencing plays out in new subdivisions with open access. In Montclair, you’re working with mature street trees, older utility laterals, and side yards barely wider than a wheelbarrow. You need a crew that plans the access route before the first post comes out. That’s what we do.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Montclair
We service the Jerith lines most common in Montclair homes: the Orleans Series aluminum ornamental fence, the Grand Harbor Series vinyl privacy fence, the Patriot Series aluminum fence, and the Traditional Series vinyl railing. Each uses different bracket systems and extrusion profiles, and we match them properly instead of forcing a generic part.
We stock common Jerith panels, posts, brackets, and latches locally for faster turnaround, and our Jerith sales & service work covers both repair and full replacement. When a part is obsolete, we source aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed the original specs. You’ll know exactly which one you’re getting and why.

AfterJerith Service Pricing in Montclair
Every Jerith fence job in Montclair is different because every lot is different. A simple side-yard replacement with easy access costs less than a property-line removal behind a block wall. Here’s where realistic pricing lands:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 – $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 – $10,000 |
What drives the cost in Montclair: access to the fence line, soil conditions, post removal difficulty, linear footage, gate hardware, and whether you need a matching profile for an existing run. We write line-item quotes and we don’t pad them with change orders mid-job. Call (866) 623-7205 and we’ll come out, walk the property, and give you a number you can plan around.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Montclair
Yes, in most cases we can match the Orleans Series profile, picket spacing, and powder-coat color closely enough that the new section blends with the old. We verify the extrusion and bracket style on-site before ordering panels. If the original finish has faded, we’ll show you the difference and let you decide. For an exact quote, call (866) 623-7205.
Leaning posts are almost always a footing problem, not a panel problem. If the posts are structurally sound and the rails are intact, we can often re-set the posts with deeper concrete footings and proper drainage without replacing the whole fence. If the posts are cracked or the rails have pulled loose, replacement is the smarter call. We’ll tell you which one you’re looking at.
Yes, that’s most of our Montclair work. We plan the access route in advance, remove old posts without disturbing the neighbor’s wall or landscaping, and re-set new posts to meet setback requirements. Narrow side yards aren’t an excuse for sloppy work; they just take more care.
Prolonged heat and dry Santa Ana winds accelerate powder-coat chalking on west-facing aluminum panels and can make old vinyl more brittle. The sun is hardest on runs that face the afternoon, so we may recommend a different finish or a UV-stable part in those spots. It’s a local condition, and we factor it into every estimate.
Yes. Rear-yard ADUs in Montclair often need a gate that stays closed, latches reliably, and meets access width. We install self-closing Jerith-compatible gates with proper hinges and latches, and we set the posts deep enough to handle daily use without sagging. Call (866) 623-7205 for a free estimate and we’ll check your gate path and setbacks.
