Roof Trusses
Prefabricated trusses offer a fast, efficient, and resource-conscious alternative to traditional stick framing. Our roof trusses undergo rigorous quality checks to verify they meet your specifications and deliver a structurally sound, long-lasting roof framing system.
- All roof trusses are designed to comply with local government building regulations.
- Trusses are manufactured from premium-grade lumber and engineered steel plates.
- We supply trusses in sizes suitable for most residential construction projects.
Floor Trusses
Floor trusses provide a high-performance floor system for builders and homeowners alike. They can span longer distances than conventional joists while creating open pathways for quick installation of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing services. Homeowners gain floors that meet or exceed code-required deflection limits, deliver quiet, squeak-free performance (when properly installed), and allow for larger open living areas than traditional framing methods.
- Engineered to match your project’s specific load and stiffness requirements.
- Constructed with high-quality 2x4 framing lumber.
Floor Trusses
Floor trusses provide a high-performance framing option for builders and homeowners alike. They can span greater distances than conventional joists while leaving open chases for fast, clean installation of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. Homeowners enjoy floors that meet or exceed code-required deflection criteria, deliver quiet, squeak-free performance when properly installed, and create larger open rooms than traditional framing can typically achieve.
- Precisely engineered to satisfy your project’s specific load, span, and stiffness needs.
- Manufactured with select 2x4 framing lumber for consistent quality.
Wall Panels
Factory-built wall panels help lower construction and material costs while maintaining exceptional structural strength. Compared with walls framed entirely on-site, prefabricated panels allow for tighter quality control, more uniform production, and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Designed and built to meet or exceed applicable local and national building codes.
- Cut down on on-site framing time and labor expenses.
- Delivered to your jobsite ready for immediate installation and finishing.
Framing Lumber
Alongside our prefabricated structural systems, we carry a full range of dimensional lumber, including standard framing stock and treated lumber in the sizes, grades, treatments, and species required for residential builds. Our lumber is responsibly sourced, and strict quality checks ensure you receive material that lets you frame efficiently and build durable structures without delays.
- Premium Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF), Treated #1 Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) 2x, #2 SYP Timbers 4x 6x, and Structural Douglas Fir.
- Offered in a variety of dimensions with lengths up to 20' (26' available by special order).
- Premium-grade studs: 2x4 and 2x6 in common wall heights.

- Premium-grade studs: 2x4 and 2x6 in standard wall heights.
Engineered Wood
Engineered wood products are a cornerstone of modern building, delivering versatility, strength, and resource efficiency. We stock a wide range of engineered wood solutions suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
- LVL is a high-strength engineered wood ideal for beams, headers, and columns, offering excellent resistance to warping and a resource-efficient manufacturing process that makes it a durable alternative to conventional lumber.
- I-Joists combine a lightweight profile with exceptional strength, making them a smart choice for residential and commercial projects. Their engineered “I” configuration, pairing laminated veneer lumber or solid sawn lumber with plywood or OSB, delivers cost-effective, reliable support for floors, roofs, and ceilings.
- Rim boards are critical components of floor framing, tying into joists to create a rigid, unified system. Typically produced from plywood or LVL, they help distribute loads and protect structural integrity, which is key to managing moisture and long-term performance.
- LSL, part of the structural composite lumber family, provides outstanding strength and dimensional stability for a variety of uses, leveraging efficient, eco-conscious production to outperform many traditional lumber products.
- PSL is a structural composite lumber noted for both its load-carrying capacity and attractive appearance. Its efficient use of smaller-diameter trees, including Douglas fir, makes it a sustainable option for beams, headers, and columns.
- OSB delivers excellent value with a strong strength-to-weight ratio, making it a dependable choice for demanding structural and load-bearing applications.
- CDX Fir Plywood is valued for its toughness and reliability, serving as a trusted option for subflooring and other structural lumber & trusses applications.
- ZIP System Roof and Wall Sheathing integrates the structural benefits of OSB with a built-in weather barrier, providing robust protection for roof and wall assemblies.
- AdvanTech subflooring offers superior strength, moisture resistance, and nail-holding power, and when paired with its adhesive, helps create a stiff, squeak-resistant floor system.

Frequently Asked
'Truss & Framing' Questions
For standard framing, SPF (spruce-pine-fir) is popular because it’s strong, lightweight, and cost-effective. Douglas Fir is denser and offers superior strength and fastener-holding power, making it ideal for longer spans or heavily loaded areas. Pressure-treated lumber should be used anywhere wood contacts concrete or soil, or where moisture is a concern. Your choice should balance structural requirements, budget, and where in the structure the lumber will be used.
Champaign’s freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and seasonal temperature swings can cause untreated wood to warp, crack, or rot more quickly. For decks, exterior trusses, and exposed framing, pressure-treated lumber or naturally durable species (like cedar) are better choices. Using corrosion-resistant fasteners (hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel) is also important to prevent hardware failure. Proper sealing, staining, and ventilation around wood components will extend service life in this climate.
Roof trusses are engineered components built off-site with metal connector plates, designed to carry specific loads and span long distances efficiently. Conventional rafters are cut and assembled on-site, which can be more flexible for complex custom roofs but is usually more labor-intensive. Trusses are typically preferred for new construction and additions because they’re consistent, faster to install, and often more cost-effective. Rafters may be chosen for intricate rooflines or when interior cathedral ceilings and open spaces require custom framing solutions.
LVL (laminated veneer lumber) is excellent for beams and headers where high strength and dimensional stability are needed in a relatively compact section. I-joists are ideal for floor systems because they’re lightweight, span longer distances than solid lumber, and reduce floor bounce when sized correctly. Glulam beams are strong, visually appealing, and work well for exposed structural applications or very long spans. The best choice depends on your span, load requirements, and whether the member will be hidden or left exposed as an architectural feature.
Are there specific installation tips for handling and installing pre-fabricated roof trusses safely?
Trusses should always be stored flat and well-supported to prevent twisting or damage before installation. Use proper lifting techniques or equipment, and never lift trusses by individual webs or chords; instead, support them at key panel points. During installation, temporary bracing is critical to keep trusses plumb and aligned until permanent bracing is in place. Always follow the truss manufacturer’s installation guide and local building codes to ensure structural performance and safety.
For basements, sill plates, and exterior interfaces, use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact or above-ground use as appropriate. In areas with high humidity or intermittent moisture, consider kiln-dried-after-treatment (KDAT) lumber to reduce shrinkage and warping. Applying quality water-repellent sealers, stains, or paints and maintaining proper drainage and ventilation around wood components will greatly reduce moisture-related issues. For trusses in unconditioned attics, ensure adequate attic ventilation to limit condensation and prolong the life of wood members.
