S&R Manufacturing, based in Huntsville, Alabama, focuses on one thing above all else: helping builders get exactly what they need, when they need it. From floor and roof trusses to custom-engineered designs, the facility produces structural solutions that keep residential and light commercial projects moving forward.
“We focus on getting builders exactly what they need, when they need it,” says Chase Currier, general manager of S&R Manufacturing in Huntsville. “Our goal is to be more than just a supplier — we want to be a trusted partner on every job.”
Custom Truss Design Capabilities
The Huntsville facility builds floor and roof trusses and can also create fully custom designs based on project requirements. Our in-house design team works directly with builders to turn plans into structural systems tailored to each project’s specifications.
“Our designers handle the entire design process in-house,” Currier explains. “Clients often come to us with a general idea, and we fill in the gaps. That’s especially valuable on big, custom homes where getting it right the first time matters.”
S&R Manufacturing produces trusses for about 20 jobs per month and works closely with engineers to ensure plans meet safety and code requirements. If an engineer’s letter is needed to resolve a structural issue, Currier notes, they typically turn it around within two or three days to avoid project delays.
Design Consultation That Saves Time
Builders can review plans with the design team before truss production begins, helping to identify potential problems early.
“These meetings let us work out the kinks upfront,” Currier says. “It’s much easier — and faster — to make tweaks in the design phase than to fix issues on-site.”
This hands-on collaboration has proven especially valuable for production builders, where small errors can be costly when multiplied across multiple projects. Recently, the team reviewed about 50 plans for one regional builder, checking every detail to minimize downstream issues.
Streamlined Timelines and Delivery
On average, the design phase takes about two weeks, with another two to three weeks for truss production once plans are finalized. These timelines are on par with current industry standards.
Deliveries are coordinated directly with builders and sales reps to ensure materials arrive where they’re needed on the job site. Each delivery includes a packet with truss drawings, installation guidelines, and hardware checklists so builders have everything they need to get started.
“For larger trusses — we can go up to 65 feet — we lock them carefully and walk builders through placement,” Currier says. “Our delivery drivers are experienced, and they know how important it is that materials arrive ready to install.”
Quality Assurance at Every Step
S&R Manufacturing maintains rigorous quality controls during production. The facility uses only No. 2-grade lumber or better, and all trusses are designed to meet International Building Code (IBC) standards. To ensure compliance, the Component Performance Institute (CPI) conducts random quarterly inspections.
“In addition to CPI’s inspections, our team performs required in-house checks throughout the day,” Currier explains. “We want our builders to have complete confidence in what they’re installing.”
Service That Stands Out
What sets S&R Manufacturing apart, Currier says, is its responsiveness when challenges arise.
“If something unexpected comes up on a job site, one of our designers or sales reps will go out, assess the situation, and come up with a solution fast,” he explains. “We know delays are costly, so we make resolving issues a priority.”
The Huntsville facility serves a broad footprint, comfortably delivering as far as Nashville, Birmingham, and Atlanta. That regional reach, combined with a commitment to service, has helped Spahn & Rose develop lasting partnerships with builders across multiple states.
A Trusted Partner for Builders
With custom engineering capabilities, strict quality controls, and a focus on builder-first service, S&R Manufacturing delivers reliability on tight timelines.
“At the end of the day, we’re here to make sure builders succeed,” Currier says. “We want to take as much of the guesswork out of the process as possible and deliver a product they can depend on.”
