AfterJerith Bathroom Remodeling: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
Jerith bathroom remodeling in West Palm Beach typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full replacement, with most projects quoted and started within two weeks of the first site visit. We stock Jerith-compatible enclosures, hardware kits, and glass panels for same-day assessment, and we carry the full series line on our trucks because Florida’s salt air degrades standard hardware faster than inland specs. Most owners discover their Jerith enclosure is failing when the bottom sweep starts leaking past the curb, the door drags on the tile, or the frame shows corrosion where the anodized coating has worn through near the showerhead.
Which Jerith Models This Applies To
Jerith manufactures three enclosure series that appear in West Palm Beach homes: the Classic Series (framed, 3/16″ glass), the Elegance Series (semi-frameless, 1/4″ glass), and the Royal Series (fully frameless, 3/8″ or 1/2″ glass). The model number is stamped on the lower horizontal frame rail or etched on the hinge bracket, usually starting with CL-, EL-, or RY- followed by the width and height in inches. The Classic uses a 1″ wall jamb with a snap-in vinyl seal; the Elegance and Royal use a 3/4″ jamb with a magnetic strike seal that Jerith redesigned in 2019 after corrosion complaints in coastal markets.
We source OEM Jerith parts through their regional distributor in Miami, but we also stock CRL and Prime-Line equivalents that match the anodized bronze and brushed nickel finishes common in West Palm Beach builds from 2015-2022. The aftermarket seals fit, but the hinge pin diameter varies by 1/32″ between OEM and CRL on pre-2018 Classic frames, a tolerance that causes door sag within six months if mismatched. We measure on site before ordering.
Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach is an independent service provider, not affiliated with Jerith.
Signs Your Jerith Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Water pooling outside the curb. The bottom sweep or drip rail has compressed or torn, or the curb itself has settled out of level. In West Palm Beach, hard water mineral buildup accelerates sweep deterioration, and we see this first on the hinge side where the door weight concentrates.
- Door drags or binds. The hinge pin has corroded or the wall jamb has pulled from the substrate, usually because the original installer used plastic wall anchors instead of backing blocking. Jerith’s spec calls for wood blocking at all jamb fasteners; we open the wall to verify before reinstalling.
- Frame corrosion at the base or corners. The anodized coating has failed where cleaning chemicals pooled or where salt air penetrated a scratch. Once aluminum oxidizes beneath the anodized layer, the frame is structurally compromised and patching is temporary at best.
- Glass panel movement or rattle. The silicone bedding has degraded, or the clip gaskets have hardened. Florida’s UV exposure and temperature cycling break down silicone faster than the manufacturer’s 20-year rating assumes for northern climates.
- Magnetic seal not holding. The strike plate has corroded or the magnet has lost pull force. On Royal Series frameless doors, this is the first sign that the entire hinge-side hardware set needs replacement, not just the seal.
BeforeAfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
| Scope | West Palm Beach Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Jerith bathroom remodel (tear-out to finish) | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel with Jerith enclosure | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-in shower installation with Jerith Royal Series | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Shower replacement (enclosure only, existing surround) | $3,000 - $8,500 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion with Jerith enclosure | $3,500 - $10,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation (coordinated with enclosure) | $800 - $3,000 |
The range depends on three factors: whether we’re working within the existing footprint or moving plumbing, whether the substrate behind the enclosure needs cement board or waterproof membrane replacement, and whether the glass itself is salvageable. Jerith’s 3/8″ tempered glass typically survives removal if the original silicone was properly applied; 1/4″ glass cracks more often. Our quote includes the parts, labor, permit if required by Palm Beach County for plumbing relocation, and disposal. Under the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts, and no change proceeds without a signed change order.
DIY or Call Us?
An owner can safely check the model number, measure the opening width at three points (top, middle, bottom), and photograph any corrosion for our review. What goes wrong in DIY is the removal: Jerith enclosures weigh 80-200 pounds depending on glass thickness, and the frame is often the only thing holding a compromised waterproof membrane in place. We’ve opened walls in West Palm Beach homes where a homeowner’s self-removal pulled the cement board with the frame, turning a $4,000 enclosure swap into a $9,000 full surround rebuild.
The other risk is the silicone cure time. Jerith specifies 24-hour cure before water exposure; most DIY installations leak because someone showers too soon and the bead never skins properly. We schedule our installs with that cure window built in, and we pressure-test the curb dam before we leave.

FAQs
In coastal Florida, expect 12-18 years for the Classic Series frame and hardware, 15-22 years for the Elegance and Royal Series if the anodized coating stays intact. Salt air within two miles of the Intracoastal accelerates hinge corrosion by roughly 30% compared to inland Palm Beach County. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote on replacement - estimates are free.
Sweeps, seals, and magnetic strikes can be replaced independently if the frame and glass are sound. Frame corrosion, glass chips, or hinge-pin wear require full replacement because Jerith does not sell individual frame extrusions or hinge castings as repair parts. We stock the common seal and sweep sizes and can swap those same-day if the diagnosis supports it. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Removal and replacement of an existing enclosure within the same footprint takes one to two days. If we’re also replacing waterproof membrane or cement board, add one day. Full bathroom remodels with plumbing relocation run two to four weeks depending on permit turnaround from Palm Beach County. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We carry Classic and Elegance Series sweeps, seals, and hinge gaskets on every West Palm Beach truck. Royal Series hardware and full enclosure kits are pulled from our Miami distributor with two-day lead time. For the fifty-plus brands we work with - KraftMaid, Cambria, Silestone, and Jerith included - we maintain a running inventory based on what fails most often in this climate.

Grant Rowan grew up in Los Angeles, where he spent summers watching his uncle frame houses in the San Fernando Valley and decided early that construction was the only work that made sense to him. He trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, earned his certificate in construction technology, and put in years on commercial and residential job sites across Southern California before bringing that same discipline to West Palm Beach. He’s handled projects along Flagler Drive and throughout the area, from structural framing and concrete work to full interior buildouts. The crew keeps clean sites, hands over a binder of documentation at project close, and returns calls the same day. As he puts it: “Measure twice, document everything, then get out of the way and let the work speak.”
