DaBella is the leading home improvement company in the United States. With more than 23 offices throughout the United States, we're striving to transform home improvement services. We work with you to create value in your home by providing outstanding service and premium products for roofing, siding, windows, and bath replacement systems. Since 2011, DaBella has grown to become one of the largest home improvement services companies in the United States. "Our core purpose is to care for families and their homes. We strive to provide the best customer experience and the best environment for our growing workforce," said CEO, Donnie McMillan, Jr. "The explosive growth we have achieved in such a short time period is an incredible story in and of itself. It was only possible because we created a culture committed to helping people realize their vision. Not only the career goals of our own people at DaBella, but also for those homeowners who we serve every day." In our industry, it's common for people to talk about the dream of one day owning their own business, often driven by the desire to make a lot of money. The start to our story, however, is different. It entails a motivated, young family who had worked in the home improvement industry but envisioned a different kind of home services company. The goal was not just to build a business, but to create an extended family, where employees, suppliers and most importantly, customers, were part of the family. Not coincidently, the company was founded at the same time as the family was blessed with twins. In fact, the name of the company comes from a combination of their names -- David and Isabella. But DaBella is so much more than a company's name. From the beginning it has been a second family name for employees. It's the nameplate of a company who works in the name of families.

"I need to revise a previous review. Jim did do excellent work. His cuts were absolutely plumb, straight and horizontal. Previously I made a statement regarding the precision of his cuts and that was only due to one cut extending outside of the area necessary to install the window. I previously stated that I would not use Jim again, which is misleading. I merely meant that, being fairly handy myself, I would feel confident enough to do the same job myself in the future after having seen how it is done. As far as the quality of workmanship, I have no significant reason for criticism. The final product is excellent, complies with code, and provides much better lighting for our future basement bedrooms than what was there before."

To determine the number of trusses you need, measure the full length of the roof ridge, convert that length to inches, and divide by 24 (the standard on-center spacing). Always round up to give the structure full support and add a few extras for overhangs or complex rooflines. This approach keeps your roof strong and code-compliant.
Start by measuring the span—the full width of the roof’s underside—then note the pitch, or how many inches the roof rises for every 12-inch run. Accurate span and pitch numbers help your supplier size each truss correctly, saving lumber and ensuring the roof performs as it should. Your roofing pro will be able to provide accurate measurements for you.
A three-person crew with the right lifting equipment can set a full set of trusses in a single day. Complex roof shapes or limited crane access can stretch that timeline, so talk with your roofer about the schedule and whether you’ll need to stay elsewhere during installation. Careful planning keeps the job safe and on target.
Trusses are prefabricated off-site, arrive ready to lift into place, and install faster and more consistently than site-built rafters. Rafters are custom-cut on-site by skilled carpenters, so they take longer and cost more in labor. Knowing the trade-offs—speed and uniformity versus on-site customization—helps you pick the best framing method for your roof.
If you’re not a licensed roofer, hire a pro. Installing trusses requires heavy equipment, safety gear, and code knowledge that most DIYers lack. While doing it yourself might trim labor costs, one mis-set truss can lead to expensive repairs or voided warranties. A certified contractor installs trusses quickly, follows code, and protects your home’s value.
