Brentwood Truss Manufacturer for Master-Planned & Agricultural Builds
Brentwood pairs master-planned subdivision buildout with the working agricultural parcels it grew out of. Walker engineers repeatable production roof packages for the tracts and long-span Doug Fir girder work — clear spans to 70 feet — for barns, shops, and packing sheds, often on the same delivery.
Your Local Truss Manufacturing Experts Serving Brentwood, CA
Brentwood has transformed from an orchard town into one of East Contra Costa County's fastest-growing residential markets, and it did so without entirely giving up its agricultural character. Cherry and corn stands still line Walnut Boulevard while master-planned communities fill in the ground around them. That mix — production housing beside working agricultural parcels — creates a truss market with two very different structural profiles, and Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc has manufactured for both 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 Brentwood work. Brentwood sits on our established delivery route, so packages arrive on the framing schedule without special arrangement.
Understanding Brentwood's Unique Construction Landscape
With a population near 65,000, a median home value around $780,000, and an average housing stock age of just 22 years, Brentwood is a young, high-value market still actively building out. The construction demand splits cleanly:
Master-Planned Communities: Deer Ridge, Shadow Lakes, and the Garin Ranch developments run on repeatable plan sets. We hold profile consistency across an entire phase so the framing crew sets the same way on lot 40 as on lot 4.
Agricultural and Orchard Structures: Brentwood's remaining working parcels need equipment barns, packing sheds, and shop buildings. These call for long-span girder work and clear-span profiles up to 70 feet, engineered for the actual equipment clearance the operation needs.
Custom Homes on Ranchette Parcels: Larger lots east of town support one-off custom residences, often with a shop or barn permitted alongside. We package the house and the outbuilding together and deliver them on a single load.
Additions and ADUs: As the earliest subdivisions reach their twenties, owners are adding square footage and detached units rather than moving. Remodel Trusses and ADU Trusses have become steady, repeat Brentwood work.
Comprehensive Truss Services Tailored for Brentwood
Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc offers a full range of truss manufacturing and design services for the Brentwood market. Every package is built in Doug Fir lumber, engineered to the project's actual load conditions, and stamped for submittal to City of Brentwood Building Division.
Our custom Residential Trusses form the structural backbone of homes across Brentwood. 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood. 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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.

"Brentwood is where the tract housing runs right up against the orchards. One week we're setting a repeatable roof profile across a whole phase at Deer Ridge, the next we're engineering a 60-foot clear-span equipment barn on a working parcel off Walnut. Same shop, same delivery route — we just switch which drawing set we're stamping."
