Truss Manufacturer – Ridgway Roof Truss Company
Fabricating roof and floor trusses since 1959, Ridgway Roof Truss Co., Inc. operates from Gainesville, Florida, and describes itself as one of the oldest truss manufacturers in the country. The company engineers every truss to customer specifications and builds each one on a computer-automated jig table for accuracy and repeatability.
Product lines include roof trusses up to 85 feet long and floor trusses up to 30 feet long and 28 inches deep, along with wood I-joists, glu-lams, L.V.L., microlams, parallams, hangers, custom connectors, and engineered designs for traditional dimensional lumber beams and headers. Ridgway supplies engineered lumber products from manufacturers including TrusJoist MacMillan, Boise Cascade, and Georgia Pacific. The firm notes that its open-web floor trusses leave room for plumbing, electrical, and ductwork without cutting.
Each order is supported by detailed documentation. Ridgway provides full-size AutoCAD truss layout blueprints measuring 24 by 36 inches, bound design manuals with uplift specifications for individual trusses, handling and bracing information, and 3-D views when needed. On-site visits and slab verification services are also available.
The company handles both residential and commercial or multi-family projects, and notes that architectural specifications for commercial work often call for its trusses specifically. Its service footprint reaches across a wide geographic area extending from Virginia to the Caribbean Islands, anchored by its Gainesville production facility.
