Truss Installation

When it comes to construction projects, whether you're building a residential home, a commercial space, or an industrial facility, the installation of roof trusses is a critical step in ensuring the structural integrity of the building. Roof trusses are the framework that supports the roof and distributes its weight evenly to the walls. Proper installation is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. At Mass Rigging Company, we specialize in professional truss installation services. With our expertise, precision, and commitment to quality, we'll ensure that your truss installation project is a success, providing you with a safe and stable roof structure for years to come.

What Are Roof Trusses?

Roof trusses, simply put, are engineered structures that provide support for the roof of a building. They are designed to carry the load of the roof and transfer it to the building's walls. Trusses are typically assembled using wood or steel members, and they come in various configurations to suit different architectural and structural requirements. Understanding the different types of trusses is crucial for selecting the right design for your building. 

The Different Types of Trusses We Offer

The king post truss is one of the simplest truss designs and features a central vertical post, two diagonal members, and a horizontal tie beam. It's commonly used in smaller structures like porches and sheds. Similar to the king post truss, the queen post truss offers two vertical posts instead of one, providing additional support for larger spans. It's often used in residential construction. Scissor trusses have a unique design with sloping bottom chords that cross each other. Scissor trusses are ideal for creating vaulted or cathedral ceilings in homes. Also a very popular choice, the parallel chord truss has parallel top and bottom chords, making it versatile for various building designs. This is also known as the most common truss solution for commercial and industrial construction.

The Cost of Truss Installation

The cost of truss installation can vary significantly based on several factors. The truss type plays a major role when it comes to roof truss installation costs. Different truss designs require different materials and labor, impacting the cost. Larger buildings with more extensive roof systems will have higher installation costs. Whether you opt for wood or steel trusses can affect the cost. To get an accurate estimate for your truss installation project, it's best to consult with our professionals for your specific needs so we may provide a detailed quote.

Our Truss Installation Process

Truss installation demands accuracy and skill. We design trusses with engineers to fulfill your building's specs and local codes before installation. This procedure ensures the trusses can support the roof load. We choose truss materials based on design and load. The trusses are made from the chosen materials according to design. This approach precision cuts, shapes, and assembles your truss components. Once ready, we securely transport the trusses to the building site. We level, align, and strengthen the roof structure. Our cranes and forklifts precisely place the trusses. To distribute load evenly, they are fastened to the building's walls and aligned. To avoid movement and shifting, we brace and tie the trusses to the walls and each other. After installing the trusses, we install the roof decking, which supports the roof covering—shingles, metal, or another material. We perform extensive quality control tests to guarantee proper truss installation and structural integrity. Finally, we remove waste and materials after installation and thoroughly check everything to ensure they fulfill all regulations.
