Fresno Truss Manufacturer for Production Housing & Agricultural Builds
Fresno anchors the central San Joaquin Valley — production housing pushing north toward Woodward Park, and county agricultural operations needing packing sheds, equipment barns, and shop buildings. Walker engineers long-span Doug Fir girder packages to 70-foot clear spans alongside repeatable production roof work.
Your Local Truss Manufacturing Experts Serving Fresno, CA
Fresno anchors the central San Joaquin Valley and carries the construction profile of a genuine agricultural capital. New housing pushes north and northeast toward Woodward Park and the Clovis boundary, while the surrounding county sustains constant demand for agricultural structures — packing sheds, equipment barns, and processing buildings. Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc has supplied long-span agricultural and production residential trusses 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 Fresno work. Fresno is served on a scheduled route run, with the delivery date confirmed at engineering approval.
Understanding Fresno's Unique Construction Landscape
Fresno's population exceeds 545,000, with a median home value near $400,000 and an average housing stock age around 40 years. Attainable pricing keeps new construction moving at volume:
Production Subdivisions: The northern growth corridor continues to absorb new single-family housing. Volume builders need repeatable roof profiles delivered in phase sequence, which is core production work for our line.
Agricultural Structures: Fresno County's farming operations require equipment barns, packing sheds, and shop buildings — long-span Doug Fir girder work engineered to the clearances the operation actually runs, with clear spans up to 70 feet.
Commercial and Light Industrial: The Fresno commercial market supports retail shells, warehouse space, and light-industrial buildings that call for Commercial Trusses and girder packages distinct from the residential work.
Remodels and Additions: Older neighborhoods like the Tower District and southeast Fresno carry stock well past forty years, generating consistent Remodel Trusses and New Addition Trusses demand.
Comprehensive Truss Services Tailored for Fresno
Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc offers a full range of truss manufacturing and design services for the Fresno market. Every package is built in Doug Fir lumber, engineered to the project's actual load conditions, and stamped for submittal to City of Fresno Building and Safety Services.
Our custom Residential Trusses form the structural backbone of homes across Fresno. 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 Fresno 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 Fresno 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 Fresno. 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 Fresno 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 Fresno 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 Fresno 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.

"Fresno is production housing plus real agricultural work — the barns and packing sheds out in the county are long-span girder jobs, and they're engineered around equipment clearance, not around a standard plan. We build both, we ship on a planned run down the Valley, and the package lands complete so nobody's waiting on a second trailer."
