Truitt & White The Professional Builder's Choice In the building materials industry, your reputation is only as good as the services you provide and products you offer.

When it comes to the San Francisco Area, one name comes up time and time again as the professionals' number one choice - Truitt & White. When you drive onto the Truitt & White campus you can see why. Our 8 acres house a lumberyard, hardware store, warehouse, and showroom areas, each staffed by a knowledgeable team that specializes in serving the needs of professional builders and homeowners alike. Since 1946, Truitt & White has been the Bay Area's go-to source for high quality building materials, valuable information, and unmatched customer service. George Truitt and Robert White founded the Truitt & White Lumber Company to serve the San Francisco Bay Area. They met while serving in the US Navy, where they were both assigned to the material procurement department. It was there they learned about the San Francisco Bay Area, and most important, the opportunities in the growing community. Over the next several decades, the company continued to grow and prosper through dedication to innovation and customer service, and today, Truitt & White is a leader in the San Francisco Bay Area building materials industry. Our strong desire to continually improve, while retaining those tried and true elements that make us Truitt & White, is still alive today and a source of pride for all of us. Our customers rely on us for every project, from start to finish, and we deliver. We even have families that have been coming here for 3 generations, and nothing means more to us than loyalty like that. This is where it all starts - from the smallest repair projects to complete remodels to new custom homes. And the more our customers, both homeowners and professionals, know before they begin, the more confident they feel about their projects. That's why we continually host and sponsor a variety of fun and informative events and seminars.

Build with materials that perform.

Weyerhaeuser has spent more than a century growing trees and making wood products that help homes and jobsites last. At Truitt & White we stock their engineered lumber—including Trus Joist® TJI® joists, TimberStrand® LSL, Microllam® LVL, and Parallam® PSL—plus OSB, plywood, MDF panels, and consistent, reliable dimensional lumber.

Whether you need long, quiet floor spans, straight wall framing, or panels that stay true on the job, our team can help you spec the right product and get it ordered or pulled from stock.

Stop by the lumberyard. We’ll help you get the materials that keep the project moving.

A pre-hung door is only as good as the shop that builds it.

This vertical-plank wood entry with matching sidelites was assembled in Truitt & White’s Berkeley door shop—custom jambs, hardware prep, and a clean fit so the opening looks intentional, not improvised. Our mill and hanging facility handle the work high-end builders, designers, and serious DIYers specify: single and multi-lite units, non-standard sizes, fire-rated assemblies, and millwork that belongs with the rest of the house.

Visit our gallery. See this kind of work in person, walk the details with our team, and get the next opening built to the project—not just to a catalog page.

October is the sweet spot to get ahead of wet weather.

Before the rains settle in, stop by Truitt & White and stock up on Benjamin Moore WOODLUXE and Arborcoat. These exterior stains and finishes are built to protect decks, siding, fences, and woodwork from moisture so your project holds up through the season.

Our paint team is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help you pick the right product, sheen, and color for your job.

Come see us at the lumberyard. We’ll get you set before the weather turns.

Take advantage of this last stretch of dry weather to walk the deck and fence. Look for winter wear — cupped boards, loose fasteners, mildew, and spots that won’t dry out. Fix it now, before the first real rains close the window for months.

Truitt & White has the Deck Guide and the material to match the job: Batu, Fijian Mahogany, Ipe, Redwood Heart, Thermory, Trex, and more. Bring photos or a board sample. We’ll help you choose decking, fencing, and supplies that hold up in the Bay Area — not just look good on day one.
Let’s get the outdoor work done while the weather still cooperates.

Shorter days change how a deck and entry get used. The material still has to meet the spec. The install has to keep people moving after dark.

These details show TimberTech working as architecture, not only as a walking surface. A slatted screen controls light and access at the threshold. Integrated riser lights mark the stair nosing so the change in elevation stays readable when the sun drops early in October. Both only perform if the boards are fastened, spaced, and trimmed to the manufacturer’s instructions and the lighting is placed where feet actually land.
Fall is the season that exposes weak installation. Wet leaves, earlier evenings, and weekend use all hit the same stairs and gates. Specifying Vintage or Landmark for fire-zone performance is one decision. Setting the lights, fasteners, and clearances correctly is the one that keeps the job safe through winter.

Review TimberTech profiles, stair components, and lighting layouts at Truitt & White, 642 Hearst Avenue in Berkeley, or call (510) 841-0511 to plan the next install before the days get shorter.

Holiday era starts HERE.

Not at the mall. At Truitt & White.

Came in for one thing… stayed for the whole holiday-ready setup: tools that actually last paint colors for the glow-up everything you need to build, refresh, and wrap the season
If you’re decorating, gifting, or finally doing that project before the holidays hit, this is the stop.

Save this for your next run. Tag the person who just needs one more thing.

10/12/2026

These two decks are what Ignition Resistant material looks like after it leaves the sample rack. TimberTech Vintage and Landmark Collections carry the first—and only—Ignition Resistant designation in composite decking, along with a Class A flame spread rating and WUI compliance. The boards still read as a finished outdoor room.

The difference is how they are classified when an ember or flame reaches the surface.
That matters on Bay Area jobs where the deck is part of the fire assembly, not just the furniture plan. The rating does not mean the deck will not burn. It means the material is tested to resist ignition and to slow flame spread compared with wood and standard composite.

October is the right month to make that call. Outdoor building weather is still usable, fire-season requirements are fresh in plan check, and locking the collection now keeps material moving before winter rain and year-end backlogs slow the schedule.

See Vintage and Landmark at Truitt & White, 642 Hearst Avenue in Berkeley, or call (510) 841-0511 to confirm stock and lead times for the next install.
