About Us

The Company

As manufacturers of roof and floor truss systems, we have been providing custom design and fabrication for the residential and commercial building trades since 1988. We identify ourselves by the service provided to our customers and the quality built into our products.

Our mission is simple: complete customer satisifaction. We feel we have accomplished this mission as our customers are our only salespersons.

The Products

Roof Trusses

We are often asked how large a truss can be fabricated at Wiregrass Truss. We will build a truss in one piece that can clear span 75 feet. Larger trusses can be engineered and built; however, these monsters make transportaion a bit difficult. In these cases, we will design separate parts of the truss that are then plated together in the field.

Our engineering services as well as the turss plates used in fabrication are provided by ITW Building Components.

Floor Trusses

We also design and build floor trusses. These versatile floor joists are open webbed to facilitate plumbing and hvac contractors to "hide" their components in the floor system. Most floor trusses are built wiht a chase allowing air conditioning duct to be run through the second floor's trusses. This practice eliminates the need fo furring down areas of the first floor ceiling.

Our floor trusses are built to fit, as they do not require any field cutting or trimming. By utilizing a 4x2 design (the two by fours are laid on end in fabrication). the builder has a 3 1/2" nailing surface for attaching plywood.

The People

Design

Much of Wiregrass Truss' success can be attributed to one gentleman - our truss designer - Kelly Nelson. Mr. Nelson has an incredible knack for visualizing a two dimensional plan into its final three dimensional form. He handles complexity of design as a riddle-like challenge. Oftentimes he is consulted by area architects, building inspectors and contrators for advice on design. Mr. Nelson expnds considerable effort in designing our truss systems to reduce labor and costs for our customers.

Delivery

In our product description above, we boasted a bit about our ability to fabricate 75' trusses. Well, designing and building these large trusses takes a bit of effort, but getting them to the job site is yet another story. Our driver has managed to pull off this incredible feat for years. The fact that one of our delivery turcks is equipped with a trailer that stretches to a length of 60' helps, but it takes a special talent to manuever a 75' load through a 90 degree turn. Thank you, Glen!

Fabrication

We are proud to have assembled the finest grop of fabricators whose combined efforts and experience make up the backbone of our company. They are responsible for our 100% on time deliveries.

Our fabricators are led by one gentleman, Larry Pugh, who has risen through the ranks and lends his considerable talents to the team. The remainder of our fabricators and saw men have been with the company since day one, May 22, 1988.  Together, these men have over 200 years of experience in the truss industry and we consider them the best in the business. Their commitment to quality is assured - they sign their names to every set of trusses build!
