Metal Stud Work We Do in Brentwood
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 94513. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, restaurant, medical, and office build-outs at The Streets of Brentwood, Sand Creek Crossing, and along Lone Tree Way. If the drawing says steel studs, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Downtown, Sand Creek, and Lone Tree interiors
Shop partitions, restaurant walls, and rated assemblies in Historic Downtown Brentwood, The Streets of Brentwood, Sand Creek Road suites, and Lone Tree Way retail inside city limits.
Soffits, bulkheads, and chases
Dropped ceilings, kitchen hood wraps, and framed openings so boxes, ducts, and lights have a home before drywall.
Fire-rated and heavier-gauge walls
Listed assemblies, Type X board later, and heavier studs when the plan or the engineer calls for them. The rating is the whole wall — not the stud alone.
Remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Brentwood house when the finish needs a straighter plane than bowed lumber. Wood structure stays wood unless the plan says otherwise. Metal vs wood →
Frame and hang together
One crew frames the metal, hangs the board, and can finish it. Split bids leave missing backing and wavy walls. Services →
Which Stud Belongs on a Brentwood Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Streets of Brentwood TI, downtown Oak Street shops, Lone Tree Way retail, Sand Creek suites, rated commercial walls, or a remodel that needs a flat plane for Level 4 / Level 5 | You need beams, columns, or structure that hold the building up — that is a different contractor |
| 25-ga interior studs | Short, non-load-bearing partitions with a normal finish | Tall walls, high-abuse corridors, or a spec that names 20-ga or heavier |
| 20-ga / heavier track and studs | Taller commercial walls, restaurant TIs, office interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most house walls off Balfour Road, Walnut Boulevard, Sand Creek, Deer Ridge, Prewett Ranch, Apple Hill, and older downtown streets with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete or block walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Brentwood Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Brentwood is an incorporated East Contra Costa city — January 15, 1948. The city ZIP is 94513. It uses the 925 area code. Permits inside city limits run through the City of Brentwood Building Section at 150 City Park Way, 94513. This page is the City of Brentwood only. Text the street so the bid matches the address.
Brentwood Boulevard and Oak Street carry Historic Downtown. Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek Road carry the newer retail. Balfour Road and Walnut Boulevard run the neighborhoods. Occupied shops, downtown remodels, and newer Sand Creek and Deer Ridge houses change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Streets of Brentwood tenant wall like a bedroom 2×4 — or hanging a Level 5 commercial finish on house framing that only needed wood hang-only. Interior metal studs do not hold a house up. Occupied houses, open downtown shops, and after-hours offices need a clean layout, backing for cabinets and TVs, and a stud plane the finish can live with. Matching the spec still beats guessing the gauge. Send the plan sheet or a wide shot of the room. That photo decides wood hang-only vs new metal studs faster than a ZIP code.

Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Brentwood, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Streets of Brentwood TIs, downtown Oak Street interiors, Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek suites, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is this structural steel?
No. We frame interior light-gauge studs, track, headers, and soffits. Beams, columns, and structure that hold the building up are a different contractor.
Do Brentwood houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop at The Streets of Brentwood or downtown?
Yes. Occupied retail and restaurant TIs at The Streets of Brentwood, Sand Creek Crossing, Lone Tree Way, and Historic Downtown on Oak Street and Brentwood Boulevard are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Brentwood buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house, an open downtown shop, or an after-hours office. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
