Hanford Truss Manufacturer for Agricultural & Residential Builds
Hanford sits at the center of Kings County agriculture — dairy freestall barns, hay storage, and equipment shops, all long-span framing problems engineered around clearance and ventilation. Walker supplies Doug Fir girder packages to 70-foot clear spans alongside attainable-market residential roof work, on scheduled freight delivery.
Your Local Truss Manufacturing Experts Serving Hanford, CA
Hanford is the seat of Kings County and sits at the center of one of California's most productive agricultural regions. Dairy, cotton, and row-crop operations surround the city, and the structures those operations depend on — equipment barns, hay storage, dairy freestall buildings, shops — are long-span framing problems. Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc has engineered agricultural 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 Hanford work. Hanford is served as planned freight, scheduled during engineering approval so the full package arrives staged and complete.
Understanding Hanford's Unique Construction Landscape
With roughly 58,000 residents, a median home value near $360,000, and an average housing stock age around 38 years, Hanford is an attainable market where agricultural construction carries as much weight as residential:
Agricultural and Dairy Structures: Kings County dairy and row-crop operations need freestall barns, hay storage, and equipment shops. These are long-span Doug Fir girder packages engineered around equipment clearance and ventilation, with clear spans up to 70 feet.
Residential Subdivisions: Hanford continues to add single-family housing at attainable price points, which favors efficient, repeatable production roof packages.
Historic Downtown Rehabilitation: Hanford's Civic Center district includes significant older commercial buildings undergoing rehabilitation, where new roof structure has to integrate with masonry and heavy timber that predates modern code.
Additions and Shop Buildings: Rural residential parcels around Hanford routinely permit a home addition and a shop building together — packaged and delivered on the same load.
Comprehensive Truss Services Tailored for Hanford
Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc offers a full range of truss manufacturing and design services for the Hanford market. Every package is built in Doug Fir lumber, engineered to the project's actual load conditions, and stamped for submittal to City of Hanford Building Division.
Our custom Residential Trusses form the structural backbone of homes across Hanford. 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 Hanford 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 Hanford 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 Hanford. 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 Hanford 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 Hanford 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 Hanford 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.

"Hanford is ag country, and ag buildings are long-span problems. A freestall barn or a hay structure gets engineered around the equipment and the ventilation, not around a residential plan book. We've been doing that work since the seventies. Kings County is a planned freight run for us — we schedule it, and the package arrives complete."
