Concord's Premier Truss Manufacturer & Supplier
Concord's housing mix runs from 1950s-70s Clayton Valley tract stock to new podium-construction multi-family along the I-680 corridor and BART line. Walker Lumber's engineering capacity covers both — production roof trusses for re-roof and replacement work on the older stock, plus floor and roof trusses for the East Bay multi-family and ADU pipeline.
Who Walker Lumber serves in Concord
Walker Lumber has been supplying truss packages to Concord builders, framers, GCs, and developers for years. The Concord Naval Weapons Station reuse pipeline alone — 12,000+ planned units, roughly 30% multi-family — represents a multi-decade truss draw, alongside the steady production and re-roof work across Clayton Valley, Dana Estates, Todos Santos / Downtown, Ygnacio Valley. Every package ships on one truck with one driver and an engineering stamp that's known to your local plan-check.
Concord building conditions that affect truss design
Diablo wind events on the east flank of Mt. Diablo create localized high-wind exposure, especially in upper Saranap and the Mt. Diablo edges. Truss-to-wall hold-downs and uplift detailing on those sites reflect ASCE 7 wind requirements. Seismic Design Category D/E applies in Concord — both the Calaveras and Concord faults run through Contra Costa and Alameda counties, and we spec lateral connectors, bracing, and hold-downs to ASCE 7 code accordingly.
Why Concord builders pick Walker Lumber
East Bay multi-family + re-roof on aging Clayton Valley stock, I-680 corridor. That's the short version. The longer version: Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc has been a family-owned California truss manufacturer since 1974 — over 50 years and 10,154+ completed projects, working alongside builders like DR Horton, Shea Homes, Meritage, Toll Brothers, and Crestleigh, plus hundreds of regional GCs, custom builders, and framers. For Concord specifically, we deliver direct-from-mill pricing plus 50-year family-owned engineering stamps — and our delivery crews know the Concord jobsite norms and HOA staging rules cold. Call us at (916) 338-2121 or request a quote — we'll have an engineered package back inside 48 hours.
Truss types we supply for Concord projects
Every Concord project gets a truss package engineered from scratch — span, pitch, lumber grade, plate sizing, and connector schedule all reviewed against the loads your jobsite actually sees. Here's what we manufacture and ship to Concord:
Residential roof trusses
Common gable, hip, scissor, and vaulted roof profiles for single-family homes in Concord. Our shop fabricates the full range — from standard production trusses for tract subdivisions to one-off engineered profiles for custom builds. Engineered to the ASCE 7 wind and seismic loads Concord plan-check expects.
Floor trusses
Concord's multi-family and podium-construction pipeline runs heavily on engineered floor trusses — open-web design lets your trades run HVAC, plumbing, and electrical without notching solid joists. Our floor trusses ship in standard or custom depths, with the open-web design framers prefer for fast trade rough-in.
Girder, hip & long-span truss profiles
Multi-family and mixed-use podium projects in the I-680 corridor require long-span profiles for the commercial elements alongside floor and roof trusses for the residential. We fabricate these daily for our Granite Bay and El Dorado Hills custom work — same engineering capability ships to Concord.
Multi-family & podium floor trusses
Concord's multi-family pipeline runs steady. We engineer floor trusses for podium (5-over-1) and garden wrap product, roof trusses for both, and long-span profiles for mixed-use commercial elements. Our pricing basis is Sacramento-metro mill, which keeps multi-family economics competitive on every quote.

What working with Walker Lumber looks like for a Concord project
Walker Lumber has been a family-owned California truss manufacturer since 1974 — 50+ years and 10,154+ completed projects. Here's the rhythm of a typical Concord project from quote to set day:

"Concord runs on a mix we're well-suited for: the 1950s-70s Clayton Valley and Sun Terrace tract stock is hitting its third-generation re-roof cycle, and the I-680 corridor is generating steady multi-family podium work. We've got the engineering capacity for both, and our pricing basis competes with Tracy and Livermore mills."
