Truck Driver

Tamarack Roof Trusses for Ontario has been in the business of estimating, designing and manufacturing engineered roof trusses for Ontario, including its residential, commercial, and farm markets for over 30 years. It is known to the construction industry as a component manufacturer.

Our roof truss designs begin with a set of plans that a builder supplies to the Tamarack team. One of our estimators will create a truss plan from the information shown on the architectural drawings and calculate a price. This estimating file is sent to the production department, which converts the file into production drawings. Our engineered roof trusses, from Toronto or anywhere else, are produced, packaged, and shipped in large volumes to the job site on roll-off trailers that will place the load where it is most convenient for the contractor.

Tamarack roof truss designs are created with modern equipment which translates to fast and efficient turn-around for customers.
