What We Make

Trusses up to 80 feet. Engineered and built in-house.

TBC designs, engineers, stamps, and builds every truss in our South Boston shop using #1 grade lumber or better. No outsourcing, no middleman — full accountability from the first sketch to the truck delivering to your site.

What You Get

Four things every truss order includes.

80' clear span capacity

We engineer and build trusses that span up to 80 feet without intermediate support. That means you can frame a 60' shop, riding arena, or equipment shed with a clean, unobstructed interior — no posts, no columns, no compromises on usable floor space.

#1 grade lumber or better

Grade matters. Lower grades introduce more knots, splits, and crook that compromise structural integrity. We stock #1 grade as our baseline and build select trusses from higher grades when the engineering calls for it. Every board going into a TBC truss is graded for the load it will carry.

Engineered stamps included

Every truss ships with a stamped, sealed engineering drawing showing loads, spans, and connections. Required for permitting in most jurisdictions, and proof the truss will perform as specified. No upcharge, no separate engineering invoice.

Designed and built in-house

Our design office, engineering review, and shop are all under one roof in South Boston. No subcontracted manufacturing, no waiting on a regional supplier. We answer technical questions same-day and turn revisions fast.

From the Shop Floor

“When trusses come from somewhere else, you wait on their schedule and you trust their numbers. We build ours here, on a press table that handles spans up to 80 feet. That means we stand behind the truss and the timeline both.”

Tim Slabach, Founder

How a Truss Happens

Cut. Build. Ship.

Cut

Graded lumber gets cut to the engineered length on the shop saw. Every cord, web, and chord is sized to the truss drawing before it leaves the cut station.

Build

The crew sets the cut members in the jig, presses connector plates at every joint, and quality-checks each truss against the stamped drawing before it moves off the table.

Ship

Finished trusses are stacked, banded, and staged for delivery on TBC's own trucks — ready when your job site is.

Questions We Get

Truss questions, answered.

What's the maximum truss span you build?

80 feet clear span. That covers most agricultural, commercial, and equestrian buildings without needing intermediate columns. For projects requiring longer spans, we can quote engineered glulam or steel solutions.

Do you build attic, scissor, gable, and other custom truss profiles?

Yes. Common shop, attic, scissor, gable end, hip, and mono-pitch profiles are all in our regular production mix. If you've got a sketch or a building plan, we'll engineer it to fit.

Are engineering stamps included or extra?

Included. Every truss order ships with stamped, sealed drawings ready for the building department. No upcharge, no separate engineering invoice.

What lead time should I plan for?

Lead time depends on the build — complexity, shop load, and time of year. Send us your drawings and your target delivery date and we'll work back from there with a realistic schedule. Tight timelines — let us know early.

Can you match a builder's existing roof profile or pitch?

Yes. Send us the existing pitch, heel height, and overhang dimensions, and we'll match the profile so the new addition reads as one continuous roofline.

Ready to spec your trusses?

Call us with your span, pitch, and load requirements. We'll work up a quote and engineering layout.
