Types of Residential Roof Trusses We Offer
We design different types of roof trusses to suit your home’s style, size, and structure. Each truss type offers its own benefits, depending on your layout and roofing needs. No matter if you need a luxurious attic truss, a vast gable, or any custom-designed roof truss, our expert team can handle it all.
However, here are some of the most popular roof trusses we build:
King Post Trusses
It is the most common and simple roof truss used for residential purposes. The king post truss design uses a central vertical post to connect the peak to the base. It’s basically popular for small structures and budget builds.
Queen Post Trusses
Similar to the king post truss, the queen post truss includes two vertical posts, creating a wider span. It blends classic aesthetics with better structural coverage. Queen post roof trusses are widely used for medium-sized homes.
Fink Roof Trusses
The Fink roof truss is one of the common roof truss types of modern residential homes. With its W-shaped zig-zag webbing, it offers superb weight distribution. This roof truss is reliable and cost-efficient. Besides, it is ideal for gable roofs.
Gable Roof Trusses
Gable trusses are simple and strong. They have a triangle shape that supports your roof well. This style is common in many homes. It gives a clean look and allows space in the attic. We design each gable truss to match your home and local weather.
Hip Roof Trusses
Hip trusses slope on all four sides. This makes the roof more stable and wind-resistant. They also give your home a nice, modern look. These trusses work well in areas with strong winds or heavy rain. We also do custom design to fit your house perfectly.
Attic Trusses
Attic trusses create extra space inside your roof. You can use this space for storage or even an extra room. They are great if you want more space without increasing room onto your home. We build attic trusses to give you strength and flexibility.
