Morgan Hill Truss Manufacturer for Custom Homes & ADUs
Morgan Hill caps annual new housing under Measure S, which pushes demand toward ADUs, custom homes, and 55+ products like Shea's Trilogy at The Vineyards. The Jackson Oaks and El Toro hillside neighborhoods sit in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, requiring Chapter 7A exterior assemblies that affect soffit and eave truss detailing. Walker Lumber engineers all of it — production, custom, and 55+ — to the code path each lot triggers.
Who Walker Lumber serves in Morgan Hill
Walker Lumber has been supplying truss packages to Morgan Hill builders, framers, GCs, and developers for years. Morgan Hill's Measure S cap on annual new housing shifts demand toward ADUs, custom replacement homes, and 55+ products like Shea Homes' Trilogy at The Vineyards — all markets Walker serves daily across Sacramento metro. Every package ships on one truck with one driver and an engineering stamp that's known to your local plan-check.
Morgan Hill building conditions that affect truss design
Morgan Hill sits in a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire severity zone, which means California Building Code Chapter 7A applies: ignition-resistant roof assemblies, boxed eaves with fire-rated soffit returns, and ember-resistant vents are standard on every new build and most major remodels. We engineer our truss heels and eave details with Chapter 7A in mind. Seismic Design Category D governs lateral truss connection design here.
Why Morgan Hill builders pick Walker Lumber
Measure S housing cap → ADU/custom focus, Trilogy 55+ community, Jackson Oaks WUI. That's the short version.

Truss types we supply for Morgan Hill projects
Every Morgan Hill 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 Morgan Hill:
Residential roof trusses
Common gable, hip, scissor, and vaulted roof profiles for single-family homes in Morgan Hill. Our shop fabricates the full range — from standard production trusses for tract subdivisions to one-off engineered profiles for custom builds. All trusses include Chapter 7A-compatible heel and eave detailing so the framing crew has what they need for fire-rated soffit returns.
Floor trusses
Our floor trusses ship in standard or custom depths, with the open-web design framers prefer for fast trade rough-in.
ADU & JADU truss packages
Morgan Hill's Measure S housing cap drives most growth into ADUs and custom replacement homes. We engineer ADU truss packages from garage conversions to detached two-story units on lot splits, with standard residential pricing — no premium for ADU-scale jobs.
Vineyard outbuildings & equestrian properties
Santa Clara County's southern foothills run on agricultural and equestrian properties — vineyard operations, barn outbuildings, equipment storage, riding arenas — and Morgan Hill's Paradise Valley and Holiday Lake Estates areas in particular have steady demand for long-span agricultural and equestrian truss packages. Our 50'+ clear-span profiles cover arena-scale builds alongside the residential portfolio.

"Morgan Hill is interesting because Measure S limits how much new housing the city can issue annually — so demand shifts to ADUs, custom replacement homes on existing lots, and 55+ communities like Trilogy. Fewer entrenched truss-supplier relationships means an opening for us on the custom and 55+ work. Jackson Oaks foothill builds get Chapter 7A detailing."
