Truss Repair & Structural Reinforcement Services
When Do Trusses Need Repair?
Trusses can be damaged or degraded by a number of causes: storm and wind damage, termite or pest infestation, water intrusion and rot, fire damage, improper modifications (cut webs or chords), and age-related deterioration. In many cases, trusses can be repaired or reinforced rather than fully replaced — saving significant cost compared to a complete re-roof.
Truss Reinforcement for Code Upgrades
Adding solar panels, switching from lightweight to heavy roofing material (such as tile), or meeting updated seismic or wind load requirements may require your existing trusses to carry more weight than they were originally designed for. Mike Walker Lumber Co Inc engineers reinforcement solutions — sister trusses, web reinforcements, and gusset plate additions — that bring your existing trusses up to current code requirements.
Our Repair Process
Every truss repair starts with an engineering assessment. We evaluate the type and extent of damage, determine whether repair or replacement is the better option, and design a solution. For repairs, we fabricate replacement members, reinforcement plates, or sister trusses at our shop and deliver them to your site. We also provide detailed installation instructions for your contractor.
