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.

Not at the mall. At Truitt & White.

If you’re decorating, gifting, or finally doing that project before the holidays hit, this is the stop.

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.

A dry afternoon and a tube of the right sealant will do more for winter than another week of waiting.
Walk the house and look for the gaps that let rain and cold in:
▫️ Cracked caulk around windows and doors

▫️ Open joints at trim, siding, and thresholds

▫️ Drafts you can feel with a hand — or see with a flashlight at night
We keep the aisle stocked for Bay Area weather — DAP Dynaflex 230, Lexel, Big Stretch, and GE silicone — plus the guns to put it on clean. Tell us if the joint moves, gets wet, or just needs a tidy bead. We’ll point you to the right tube.

Fall is when Bay Area decks get specified for the year ahead. Fire season is still on the calendar, permit reviews are moving, and the boards you choose now have to perform long after the furniture is staged.
Not all decking carries the same fire classification.

Ignition Resistance is among the highest designations available for composite and wood decking. It means the material is tested to resist catching fire when exposed to flames or embers. TimberTech Vintage and Landmark Collections are the first—and only—in the composite decking industry to earn that Ignition Resistant designation. Both collections are also Class A flame spread rated and WUI compliant, which is why they are specified for fire-zone work that wood and standard composite cannot support the same way.

That rating is not a claim that a deck will not burn. It is a measured difference in how the boards respond at the moment an ember lands. For projects that have to satisfy California WUI and Chapter 7A requirements, that difference belongs in the spec, not in a conversation after inspection.

October is the window to review samples, lock profiles, and get material on site before winter weather slows outdoor work.

Visit Truitt & White at 642 Hearst Avenue in Berkeley to see Vintage and Landmark in person, or call (510) 841-0511 to speak with the lumber desk about availability and lead times.

Truitt & White — building confidence, one project at a time. Since 1946.

What’s on your list this week — deck boards, framing, or a full material takeoff?

10/03/2026

October is when Bay Area crews finish outdoor work before the rains and when fire-season planning for next year’s decks should already be on the board.

This month at Truitt & White, we are focusing on decking that earns its place in wildland-urban interface work. An Ignition Resistant designation is one of the highest classifications available for deck boards.

TimberTech Vintage and Landmark Collections were the first of their kind to achieve it. Both Advanced PVC lines also carry a Class A flame spread rating and WUI compliance, so they are slower to ignite from embers and less likely to feed aggressive flame spread than traditional wood or standard composite.

That listing does not mean a deck will not burn. It means the material is tested to resist ignition and to slow flame travel compared with products that lack this rating. For California jobs that have to clear Chapter 7A and similar WUI standards, that difference shows up at plan check, not after the fact.

Use October to spec the right collection while lead times and weather still work in your favor. Stop by Truitt & White to review Vintage and Landmark samples, profiles, and what the ratings mean for a specific site.

Truitt & White is running a limited Makita XGT promotion built for working professionals who cannot afford downtime.

Purchase one eligible 40V max XGT circular saw kit—GSH01M1, GSR01M1, or GSR02M1—and receive a BL4040 4.0Ah battery at no charge. That battery carries a $239 value and gives you a second pack ready to swap when the first is on the charger.

Each kit includes the saw, contractor bag, and one 4.0Ah battery. The GSR02M1 adds a 10-1/4" rear-handle platform with AWS capability for crews that need cleaner cuts and dust control on larger stock. Recommended blades are available separately if you want to match the work.

The offer is in effect through October 31, 2026, while supplies last. Wholesale accounts are not eligible. Stop by Truitt & White to review the kits in person and put the extra battery to work on the next job.
