Drywall Contractor in Merced, CA
Ron Hogan Drywall hangs, tapes, and finishes walls in Merced — houses off Main Street, 18th Street interiors, and downtown shops. Family-owned since 1970. The crew comes from Fairfield. The lot has to be in the City of Merced, California, not Atwater, not Los Banos, and not unincorporated Merced County.
Merced is a city
A Merced drywall call is usually a house remodel, a Main Street shop, or a patch. Merced is an incorporated city in Merced County. It has a civic center and its own building counter. The City of Merced Building Department issues the permits. The counter is on the second floor of the Civic Center, 678 West 18th Street. Merced County does not issue permits inside the city limits. The county desk is at 2222 M Street. Atwater is next door and runs its own counter. Los Banos runs its own counter. Those places are not Merced.
Main Street and 18th Street in the city are this page. An Atwater street is not this page. A county lot outside the city line is not this page. Send the street.
Drywall we hang in Merced
House remodels
New rooms and additions in Merced houses, from the older grid near Main Street to the streets off 18th Street. Framing here is usually wood. We hang on it, then tape and finish for paint. Drywall services →
Main Street shops
Stores, offices, and tenant improvements on Main Street and 18th Street when the lot is in the city. A shop wall is not priced like a closet. Commercial drywall →
Repairs
Holes, nail pops, cracks, and water-soft board. The leak is stopped first. Texture is matched to the Merced wall already in the room.
Finish in the scope
Level 3 for texture or a shop. Level 4 for a normal painted room. Level 5 only if the light or a dark flat paint will show the joints.
Sheet type
1/2-inch on most walls. 5/8-inch on many ceilings. Type X only if the listing asks for it. Moisture-resistant board in a bath that is not the shower. Board types →
Metal studs if specified
Light-gauge framing and hang on one crew when the Merced plan says steel. Beams that hold the building up are another trade. Metal vs wood →
Merced streets, ZIP, and the city counter
Merced is incorporated. The City of Merced Building Department is on the second floor of the Civic Center, 678 West 18th Street, Merced, CA 95340. Call (209) 385-4773. Email is inspectionservicesweb@cityofmerced.gov. Website is cityofmerced.gov. Permits go through the city’s Civic Access portal. The building counter is listed Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., closed city holidays. Development Services also lists 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Confirm before a walk-in. An older inspection line, (209) 723-2489, still shows for some issued permits. Merced County does not issue building permits inside the city limits. The City of Atwater does not issue permits in Merced. The City of Los Banos does not issue permits in Merced.
City street ZIPs include 95340 and 95341. The area code is 209. A ZIP is not the city line. 18th Street places the city counter. Main Street places downtown. Highway 99 changes the drive, not the city line. Fire service inside the city is the Merced Fire Department — a city department, not the county desk. Fire review for a city lot still goes through the city counter.
The drive from Fairfield is east across the valley to Highway 99. It is a long drive. It does not change the board. Text the street so an Atwater, Los Banos, or county job is not priced as Merced.
