Fair Oaks Equestrian-Property Truss Manufacturer & Custom Builder
Fair Oaks holds the largest concentration of equestrian-zoned half-acre+ lots in the urban Sacramento County — barns, hay sheds, ADU casitas, and custom-home additions on horse properties make this a short-run custom truss market rather than tract volume. The Fair Oaks Village historic overlay forces architectural roof pitches (steep gables, dormers) that need engineered hip and valley truss systems.

We package those together on a single delivery, and the Fair Oaks Village historic district's design review keeps us busy on hip-and-valley engineering for replacement roofs that match the original architectural pitches."
