Beauty That Makes You Look Up
Magnificent conversation pieces. Timber trusses start conversations... about your home, about the building where you work, about the design of the space and the story of how it all was built.
Impressive. Timber trusses subtly add natural beauty to your space and unsubtly create an impression that speaks volumes before even a single word of the conversations they start has been spoken.
Commercial & Residential Timber Trusses
We design, build, and install magnificent structural timber trusses for a vast range of commercial and residential projects including banks, stadiums, schools, public visitor centers, and timber frame homes and lodges.
The timber truss components can be treated prior to production for exterior use and we can design and build any style of timber truss of almost any size.

Timber Truss Restoration and Historical Replicas
We build timber trusses to match historical or damaged trusses in structures such as churches, school buildings, restaurants, and other historical buildings.
Every restoration or matching project starts with a detailed analysis of the building and its structural needs. We manage a close relationship with our clients to make sure all the project requirements and current building codes are met. We want every little detail to be just right — from design to finish.
A great example of our expertise in restoring or matching heavy timber trusses is the “Pier 29 Boat House Project”. We rebuilt the Pier 29 Boat Shed (San Francisco, CA) which was damaged by a fire. 15 massive timber trusses were needed — they had to match the historical design, meet current load requirements and the trusses had to be delivered in 2 months.
