STRUCTURAL STEEL
Johnson Iron delivers full-service structural steel solutions across Truckee, Lake Tahoe, Donner Summit, and Northern California — trusted craftsmanship and on-budget performance for every project.
Full-Service Structural Steel Fabrication & Installation
When a project demands structural integrity, precision fabrication, and reliable installation, Johnson Iron is the team Truckee and Tahoe builders call. Founded in 1993, we have spent over three decades fabricating and erecting structural steel for residential and commercial projects throughout the Sierra Nevada region. From engineered steel beam packages to complete structural frames, we handle every phase in-house — from shop drawings through final erection.
What We Do
Our structural steel services cover the full project lifecycle. We begin with detailed shop drawings prepared in-house, allowing us to coordinate directly with architects, engineers, and general contractors before a single piece of steel is cut. Fabrication takes place in our Truckee shop, where our team works to exact tolerances. Installation and erection are handled by our own crew using our in-house boom truck — no subcontracting, no scheduling surprises.
Services Include
- Structural steel fabrication and installation
- Steel structure design consultation
- In-house shop drawings and engineering coordination
- Steel erection and beam setting
- Custom wood-to-wood and wood-to-steel hardware fabrication
- In-house boom truck service for remote and difficult-access sites
Why Contractors Choose Johnson Iron
General contractors and architects throughout the Tahoe Basin choose Johnson Iron because we eliminate the coordination gap between fabrication and installation. When the same team that built your steel also sets it, problems get solved before they become delays. Our in-house boom truck means we can reach mountain sites that other fabricators cannot, and our local knowledge of Tahoe’s snow loads, seismic requirements, and building department processes keeps your project moving.
