Jerith Fence Installation: The Orlando Owner’s Guide
Jerith fence installation in Orlando typically runs $3,500 – $9,000 installed, depending on the series, linear footage, gate count, and whether we’re pulling old posts or setting new ones in existing concrete. Most Jerith aluminum sections we stock or order arrive within 5 – 10 business days, and we schedule installation as soon as materials hit our yard. What usually brings an Orlando homeowner to this page isn’t a brand-new fence: it’s a section that got bent by a falling palm frond, a gate that drags after a summer of afternoon thunderstorms, or posts that loosened in sandy soil and now lean into the neighbor’s yard.
Jerith is one of the better aluminum fence brands sold in Florida, and we work with it regularly, but let’s be clear up front: we’re an independent Orlando contractor, not a Jerith dealer or affiliate. We install and repair Jerith fencing, but our name is Mason Remodeling Co Orlando, and our loyalty is to the homeowner standing in the yard, not to any manufacturer’s catalog.
Key Takeaways
- Installed Jerith fence pricing in Orlando: $3,500 – $9,000 for a typical residential project
- Most Jerith sections and gates are aluminum, which holds up well in Florida humidity but can loosen at post bases in sandy soil
- We provide a written price before any work starts, and every Jerith installation carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise
- The technician who arrives will have been introduced to you by name and photo before the visit, and will show a photo ID badge at the door
Which Jerith Models This Applies To
Jerith’s residential lineup breaks into a few repeatable series: the Regal, Estate, and Manor lines cover most Orlando backyards, with the Regal series being the most common in subdivisions from Winter Park to Dr. Phillips. The difference between them is mostly picket spacing and top-rail styling, along with post wall thickness. What matters more than series name is the panel width and post size. Jerith residential sections are typically 6-foot-wide panels in 4, 5, or 6-foot heights, with 2-inch-square posts. Some older installs, especially pre-2010 sections, used 2.5-inch posts or narrower 5-foot panels, and a new panel will not mate cleanly to those without an adapter bracket, which we fabricate or order.
The compatibility gotcha we see again and again in Orlando: Jerith changed its picket profile slightly around 2015, and the newer punched-style pickets don’t match the older extruded ones if you’re trying to splice a repair section into an existing run. If you want a seamless look, you either replace the full affected panel run or we custom-bend a replacement picket to match. As for OEM versus aftermarket: for Jerith specifically, OEM panels are worth the cost on matching repairs because the powder coat color, picket profile, and rail dimensions line up without shimming. Aftermarket aluminum is fine for a full fence replacement, where consistency across the whole run is the only requirement.

Signs Your Jerith Fence Installation Is Failing
- Gate sagging or scraping the ground on the latch side. In Orlando’s sandy soil, gate posts shift a half-inch over a wet summer, and the gate follows. The underlying cause is usually an undersized post footing, not the hinge hardware.
- Pickets rattling loose where they meet the bottom rail. Jerith pickets are press-fit, not welded, and years of wind and lawn equipment vibration can walk them loose. A loose picket is a quick fix, but if a dozen are rattling on one panel, the rail’s dimple holes have stretched and the panel should be replaced.
- White chalky residue on the powder coat, especially on the west-facing side. That’s UV oxidation breaking down the finish after 10 – 15 years of Florida sun. The metal underneath is usually still solid, but once the chalk starts, repainting becomes a losing game.
- Posts leaning away from the fence line, particularly after heavy rain. This is nearly always a footing problem in Orlando’s sandy loam. Re-setting the post in a deeper concrete collar fixes it, but if three or more posts are moving, the footing approach for the whole line was likely never right.
- Discolored or soft soil at the base of a post, with the post wiggling when you push on it. That’s rot or washout under a shallow footing, and in severe cases, the post has been slowly sinking. A wiggling aluminum post stresses every picket above it, and leaving it too long turns a $300 post reset into a full panel replacement.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a full Jerith fence installation in Orlando, you’ll spend $3,500 – $9,000, with most single-family backyard projects landing around $5,000 – $7,000. The cost drivers are linear footage, gate count, whether we’re removing an existing fence, and post-setting conditions. Sandy soil is generally easy digging, which keeps Orlando labor competitive, but if your property has oak roots or old concrete footings from a previous fence, that adds time and tooling.
Here’s how a typical mid-range Orlando Jerith install breaks down:
- Aluminum panel sections (6′ wide): $90 – $160 per panel, depending on height and series
- Posts, caps, and hardware: $25 – $45 per post
- Concrete for post footings: $8 – $15 per post, plus labor to set
- Gate kit with hinges and latch: $250 – $500 per gate
- Removal and disposal of existing fence: $10 – $20 per linear foot
- Labor (setting posts, hanging panels, plumbing the line): $25 – $45 per linear foot
Every Jerith installation we do comes with a written line-item price before any work starts, so you see exactly what you’re paying for. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost. And if a section fails because of our workmanship or materials, we come back at no charge. That’s the Threshold Standard, named process and all, not a verbal promise.
DIY or Call Us?
Aluminum fence work is not a high-tension or electrical job, so the honest answer is that a handy homeowner can handle small cosmetic fixes: tapping a loose picket back into its dimple with a rubber mallet, tightening a hinge screw, or cleaning oxidation with a mild detergent. Where DIY goes wrong is in the post work. Digging a proper 30-inch-plus footing in Orlando soil, setting the post plumb in all directions, and getting the concrete collar to the right crown around the post so water sheds away from the base is skilled labor. Do it shallow, and your new fence leans within two years. Do it without a string line, and your fence waves like a flag.
If you’re replacing more than one panel, re-setting a leaning post, or hanging a gate, call us at (850) 920-7745 and tell me what the problem is. We’ll figure out the rest from there. The estimate is free, and you’ll get it in writing.
FAQs
A properly installed Jerith aluminum fence lasts 20 – 30 years in Orlando’s climate, but the powder coat on the west-facing side will typically show visible UV oxidation by year 15. The metal itself rarely fails; what fails first in Florida is almost always the post footing in sandy soil or the gate hardware from daily use. Call (850) 920-7745 if you’re seeing leaning posts or finish breakdown, and we’ll give you an honest read on whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.
A bent panel can sometimes be straightened in place if the bend is minor and the pickets haven’t creased, but a creased picket or a stretched rail dimple means replacing that panel. Single pickets that have come loose are a straight repair. We’ll tell you which one you’re facing when we look at the fence. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate.
A typical Orlando backyard Jerith installation, roughly 150 – 200 linear feet with one or two gates, takes two to three working days on site, plus 5 – 10 business days for materials if we’re ordering OEM panels. We’ll give you a schedule in your written estimate, and we’ll stick to it. Call (850) 920-7745 to get a specific timeline for your yard.
Yes. We carry common pickets, post caps, hinge kits, and latch assemblies on our trucks for same-visit repairs, and we can source OEM Jerith panels and posts in a matter of days directly from suppliers who work with independent Orlando contractors like us. If it’s a common part, there’s a good chance we have it with us when we arrive. Call (850) 920-7745 and ask for Isaac; he’ll tell you what’s on the truck before we schedule the visit.
If you have a Jerith fence that’s leaning, sagging, or just showing its age in the Orlando sun, don’t wait until a gate falls off its hinges and the dog gets ideas. Mason Remodeling Co Orlando will give you a written price, a clear schedule, and a named technician with a photo before they set foot on your property. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate, and we’ll take it from there.
