Why San Martin Residents Choose Us for Jerith Service
Jerith aluminum and vinyl fencing shows up all over rural Santa Clara County, and for good reason. Those ProSeries aluminum panels hold their lines well, and the vinyl privacy runs give acreage owners a clean wind and visual break without constant maintenance. But the installation is where these fences either hold for twenty years or start racking within three. Our crew has set and repaired Jerith sales & service products on expansive clay, on former orchard parcels, and through county permits, so we know what happens when a post hole gets poured too shallow and the winter rains come.
Noel Trevino, our owner and general contractor, grew up in Sunnymead Ranch in Moreno Valley and spent the better part of three decades building and renovating homes before focusing on the fencing, paver, and hardscape side of the work. He learned early that if the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall, or in this case, the post footing. That’s the standard we bring to every Jerith job in San Martin.
We’re an independent contractor. We are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by Jerith, but we work with genuine Jerith components every week, and we keep the common replacement parts on hand so a San Martin fence repair doesn’t stall waiting on a freight shipment.

Common Jerith Construction Problems We Solve in San Martin
Here’s what we see most often on Jerith fences in this part of the valley, and what each one means for your property:
- Shallow post footings heaving on expansive clay. Parts of San Martin sit on clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. When a post hole is poured with a thin concrete collar instead of a proper footing below grade, winter moisture makes the soil move and the post leans. We re-set these posts on deeper footings stepped to the actual grade of your land.
- Powder-coat chalking on west-facing aluminum rails. The inland valley sun is relentless from June through September, and west-facing Jerith aluminum rails take the worst of it. After five to eight years, the powder coat can chalk and fade. Depending on how far the coating has broken down, we’ll talk with you about re-coating versus replacing the affected rails.
- Rack-and-tension hardware loosening on sloped runs. Rural parcels in San Martin rarely grade flat. When a fence line follows uneven terrain, the rack-and-tension hardware that keeps Jerith panels square can work loose. We re-tension and replace the hardware so the panels track true instead of sagging with the slope.
- Vinyl panel cracking from frost heave and poor drainage. Winter frost and soil movement on larger rural lots that were never graded for drainage can put real pressure on vinyl fence panels and posts. We see hairline cracks at the post bases and mid-rail failure on older vinyl runs. We’ll tell you when the panel is salvageable and when it isn’t.
- Gate posts pulling out of line on orchard parcels. Former orchard land often has disturbed, loosely compacted soil from the old tree rows. Gate posts take more dynamic load than line posts, and on that soil they’ll drift over time. We set gate posts deeper and often with a larger footing diameter to hold the weight.
Jerith Service in San Martin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Martin is unincorporated, which means every fence project here runs through Santa Clara County rather than a city hall. That’s a fundamental difference from working in Gilroy or Morgan Hill, and it changes the sequencing of the work. If you’re on a rural parcel with a private well and septic system, the county often requires well and septic clearance before a new fence line or footing can be approved. We’ve learned to stake the line, file the permit, and order materials around those clearances instead of assuming a city-hall turnaround. That means fewer days with a half-built fence and fewer surprise stop-work notices on a project you thought was moving.
We saw exactly this on a former-orchard parcel off Llagas Road, where a homeowner’s Jerith ProSeries aluminum fence had racked after post footings sat shallow in expansive clay through the winter rains. We pulled the county permit, re-set the corner and gate posts on deeper concrete footings stepped to grade, and replaced two chalking rails. The panels racked true and the gate swung clean again after it was all done.
What that means for you as a Jerith owner in San Martin service area is that we don’t treat your fence as a generic residential install. We treat it as a rural county project, and we plan the paperwork and the ground work accordingly.
Jerith Models & Products We Service in San Martin

FAQs – Jerith Construction in San Martin
Yes, in most cases we can. If the posts are still sound and the panels are structurally intact, we re-set the posts on deeper footings and replace the rack-and-tension hardware. If the powder coat has failed or the panels are racked beyond re-tensioning, we’ll tell you that honestly and give you a repair number versus a replacement number. Call (877) 752-3154 for an exact quote on your fence.
We’re not. Moreno Valley Builders is an independent contractor and we are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by Jerith. What we are is experienced with Jerith aluminum and vinyl fence repair and installation in San Martin, and we use genuine Jerith parts wherever the fence is still serviceable.
Most re-post and re-tension repairs on a standard residential run take one to two days on site once we’re past the county permit and any required well and septic clearances. Larger runs or a full replacement on a rural parcel will take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic schedule before we start.
We install and repair Jerith ProSeries aluminum ornamental fence, Jerith Traditional aluminum ornamental fence, commercial-grade aluminum in 5 ft and 6 ft runs, and Jerith vinyl privacy fence panels and posts. If you have a Jerith product that isn’t on that list, call us and we’ll tell you whether we can help or point you to someone who can.
For a leaning post or two, most re-footing repairs run in the low four figures depending on the access, the number of posts, and what hardware has to come with them. If the racking extends along a long run, you’re looking closer to the full aluminum fence replacement range. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll walk the line with you for a free estimate.
