Truss Solutions for Home Renovations & Remodels
Remodel Trusses That Work Within Existing Structures
Remodeling is more complex than new construction because you're working within the constraints of an existing building. Wall locations, ceiling heights, foundation footprints, and neighboring structures all limit what's possible. Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc's engineering team specializes in designing trusses that solve remodel challenges — whether that's opening up a flat ceiling to a vaulted space, removing a load-bearing wall, or converting an attic into living area.
Common Remodel Truss Applications
We fabricate trusses for the most common renovation scenarios: vaulted ceiling conversions (replacing flat trusses with scissor or cathedral trusses), load-bearing wall removal (installing a truss or beam system to carry the load), roof pitch changes, attic conversions to livable space, and structural reinforcement of aging or damaged roof framing. Each project gets custom engineering based on the specific conditions of your building.
Working with Remodel Contractors
We know remodel timelines are tight and unexpected conditions are the norm. Our team can review field measurements, work from as-built drawings, and adjust designs when site conditions differ from plans. If you're a remodel contractor in the Sacramento area, we can often visit the job site to assess existing conditions before engineering begins.
