Jerith Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co San Jose
We provide independent Jerith fence and railing service across Sunnyvale, from Birdland to the neighborhoods off El Camino Real. The thing that separates our Jerith work here is simple: we plan for the clay soil, the asbestos-siding abatements, and the teardown dust that most crews never mention until the invoice shows up. Straight number, written scope, done when we said done. Call (669) 272-2637 for a free estimate.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum fencing and railing shows up on a lot of Sunnyvale properties, and for good reason. The factory powder coat holds up in our dry summers, and the panelized system makes repairs faster than welding steel or rebuilding wood. But here’s the part most contractors miss: Sunnyvale’s specific conditions eat Jerith products in predictable ways. South-facing panels chalk after a decade of UV. Gate posts shift in clay soil. Second-story balcony railing loosens as the new addition settles.
Curtis Lane, our owner, has been running crews in this market long enough to know which Jerith lines fit which neighborhoods. A Classic Series fence looks right on a 1960s ranch in Birdland. An Estate Series double gate belongs on a wider lot off Fremont Avenue. We’re an independent Jerith service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we fix what needs fixing rather than pushing a full replacement. You get a written price before any work starts, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return and correct it at no charge.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Powder-coat chalking on south-facing panels. Sunnyvale’s summer sun is unrelenting, and Jerith panels that abut reflective stucco on newer two-story homes chalk fast. We clean, prep, and re-coat using a finish matched to the original factory code, so the repair blends instead of looking like a patch.
- Gate hinge sag on wide double-drive gates. In clay-heavy areas like Birdland, post footings move slightly between wet winters and dry summers. The gate still looks level from the street, but the hinges carry uneven load until one day the latch won’t close. We re-set posts in deeper concrete with gravel drainage and install heavier-duty Jerith hardware.
- Rail bracket loosening on second-story decks and balconies. Sunnyvale’s teardown-and-rebuild cycle means a lot of new two-story additions with Jerith aluminum railing attached to fresh framing. As the structure settles, brackets back off. We torque them, replace worn fasteners, and verify the posts meet current height codes.
- Scratches and dents from construction traffic. When a mid-century tract home gets replaced next door, debris and equipment take a toll on an existing Jerith fence. We repair or replace individual pickets and posts rather than quoting a whole new fence line, which is what a lot of other contractors will do.
- Fence damage discovered during remodeling projects. When we’re already on site for an addition or ADU build and notice a Jerith fence with shifted footings or failing hardware, we flag it in the written scope and fix it as part of the job. No surprise invoices; the price is in the contract before tools come out.
Jerith Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic Jerith page. Sunnyvale’s Birdland neighborhood has a high concentration of original 1960s ranch homes with asbestos-cement siding. Before any Jerith fence installation can happen along a property line where that siding remains, the siding abatement has to be completed. It’s a common and costly first step that homeowners new to the area don’t anticipate, and it changes the timeline and the access plan for the fence work itself. Our crews have worked around abatement zones on several Birdland properties, including a two-story addition on Mandarin Drive where a sagging Jerith Estate Series double gate had pulled its posts out of the clay-heavy soil after years of moisture cycling. We re-set those posts in deeper concrete footings with gravel drainage, replaced the original gate hinges with heavier-duty Jerith hardware, and did powder-coat touch-ups on the south-facing panels that had chalked badly. The homeowners kept their existing fence line and tied it into their new balcony railing for less than half the cost of a new fence.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale
We work on the full Jerith aluminum line: Estate Series, Classic Series, and Sentry Series fence panels, plus ornamental aluminum railing for decks and balconies. Our approach is repair-first. When a picket is dented or a post has shifted, we use genuine Jerith replacement parts matched to the original factory finish code. For older or discontinued lines where OEM pieces aren’t manufactured anymore, we source aftermarket aluminum components of identical gauge and alloy. We only recommend full panel replacement when structural integrity is compromised or the powder coat has failed beyond touching up. For broader Jerith sales & service questions, we can point you to what’s available locally and what has to be ordered.

FAQs – Jerith Construction in Sunnyvale
Yes. We match the original factory finish code, not a close-enough color from a hardware store. For older panels where the powder coat has chalked, we clean and prep the surface first, then re-coat and re-cure to blend with the surrounding panels. If the finish has failed beyond a touch-up, we’ll tell you that in writing and price a replacement. Call (669) 272-2637 to schedule a free inspection.
That’s a classic Sunnyvale clay soil symptom. The clay expands with winter moisture and contracts in summer, and your gate post footings are shifting slightly with it. The fix is re-setting the posts in deeper concrete with drainage gravel so the water moves away instead of sitting against the footing. We do this repair regularly in Birdland and other clay-heavy parts of the city. For an exact quote, call (669) 272-2637.
If the property line still has original asbestos-cement siding from the 1960s, then yes, abatement has to happen before fence work adjacent to that siding can begin. It’s a common requirement in Birdland. We’ll tell you whether it applies to your specific project during the estimate, and we can coordinate the fence work around the abatement timeline so the project doesn’t stall. Estimates are free; call (669) 272-2637.
We can. Most existing Jerith railing can be brought up to code by re-anchoring the posts, adjusting the rail height, and verifying spacing where needed. The specifics depend on the age of the railing and the framing it’s attached to. We’ll inspect it as part of your free estimate and quote the work as a written line item. Call (669) 272-2637 to schedule.
Aluminum does well against dust itself, but metal and demo debris can dent or scratch panels, and the fine dust from teardowns settles into the powder coat and dulls the finish over time. A regular wash and an occasional touch-up keeps most Jerith fence lines looking right for 15 to 20 years. We handle both the repairs and the touch-up work. Call (669) 272-2637 for a free estimate.
