Your Local Truss Manufacturing Experts Serving Bakersfield, CA
Bakersfield anchors Kern County, where agriculture and the energy sector drive an industrial construction market alongside steady, attainable residential growth. Development pushes west and northwest through Rosedale and Seven Oaks, while the surrounding county sustains demand for agricultural and industrial structures. Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc has manufactured long-span and production trusses for markets like this since 1974.
Our family-owned business has spent over five decades perfecting truss fabrication from our plant at 6915 30th Street in North Highlands. With more than 10,154 completed projects and a team of nearly 50 skilled employees, we bring real manufacturing capacity to Bakersfield work. Bakersfield is served as planned freight, scheduled during engineering approval so the full package arrives staged and complete.
Understanding Bakersfield's Unique Construction Landscape
Bakersfield's population exceeds 410,000, with a median home value near $380,000 and an average housing stock age around 35 years. Attainable pricing sustains high new-construction volume:
Production Subdivisions: The southwest and Rosedale growth corridors continue to add single-family housing at volume. Repeatable roof profiles delivered in phase sequence are the core requirement.
Agricultural Structures: Kern County farming operations need equipment barns, packing facilities, and shop buildings — long-span Doug Fir girder packages with clear spans up to 70 feet.
Industrial and Energy-Sector Buildings: Kern's energy industry supports shop buildings, warehouses, and light-industrial structures where girder engineering and steel coordination both come into play.
Remodels and Additions: Older central and northeast Bakersfield neighborhoods carry stock past three decades, producing steady Remodel Trusses and New Addition Trusses demand.
Comprehensive Truss Services Tailored for Bakersfield
Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc offers a full range of truss manufacturing and design services for the Bakersfield market. Every package is built in Doug Fir lumber, engineered to the project's actual load conditions, and stamped for submittal to City of Bakersfield Building Division.
Our custom Residential Trusses form the structural backbone of homes across Bakersfield. We work directly with architects and builders to design roof and floor systems that satisfy the specific load requirements, ceiling geometry, and local code provisions each project carries.
ADU Trusses let Bakersfield property owners add living space without relocating. Our design team delivers compact, cost-effective roof packages that maximize usable volume while holding to the height and setback limits the local jurisdiction enforces.
Remodel Trusses and New Addition Trusses are custom-engineered to integrate with what is already standing. Older Bakersfield structures rarely match modern framing dimensions, and we design the new system to land correctly on the existing bearing rather than forcing the contractor to rebuild underneath it.
For larger work, our Commercial Trusses and Multi-Family Trusses cover retail shells, office buildings, and higher-density residential in Bakersfield. We engineer long-span profiles with clear spans up to 70 feet and coordinate with steel-fabricator partners where a project pairs steel girder elements with Doug Fir truss systems.
Floor Trusses provide superior span capability and stiffness for multi-story Bakersfield projects. They also let plumbing, electrical, and HVAC run straight through the floor system instead of boring solid joists, which produces cleaner finishes and a faster mechanical rough-in.
When fire damages a structure, our Fire Restorations service moves quickly. We assess the damage, engineer replacement trusses that match the original geometry, and get Bakersfield property owners back under a roof without avoidable delay.
Our work begins well before fabrication. Truss Design Consultation puts our engineering team alongside yours to optimize the structure early, and Value Engineering identifies material and labor savings that do not compromise structural performance — often the difference between a Bakersfield project penciling out or not.
Where existing trusses have been damaged, altered, or overloaded, our Truss Repairs and reinforcement service restores structural capacity with an engineered, stamped solution rather than a field improvisation.
