Lathrop Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a valley run, not a Harlan Road storefront. Lathrop is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — not Manteca, not Stockton, and not Tracy. Street ZIP 95330 is Lathrop. Portions of that ZIP also touch Manteca. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Lathrop addresses — Lathrop Road, Louise Avenue, Harlan Road, and Manthey Road. The street decides the bid.
Text “Lathrop” with the plans or a photo of the room. If the scope is interior metal studs — or frame-and-hang on the same trip — we schedule it.
Metal Stud Work We Do in Lathrop
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Lathrop addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Harlan Road and Louise Avenue TIs
Restaurant, shop, office, warehouse office, and commercial build-outs on Harlan Road, Louise Avenue, and Towne Centre Drive when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Industrial and Crossroads interiors
Warehouse offices, industrial partitions, and occupied-building walls on Harlan Road, Tesla Drive, D'Arcy Parkway, and Roth Road. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Lathrop house — Mossdale Landing, River Islands, and older grid streets — when the finish needs a straighter plane than bowed lumber. Wood structure stays wood unless the plan says otherwise. Metal vs wood →
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.
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 Lathrop Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Harlan Road TI, warehouse office, rated walls, or a finish 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, industrial offices, restaurant TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Lathrop house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Lathrop Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Lathrop is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — on Interstate 5, Interstate 205, and State Route 120. The City of Lathrop incorporated on July 1, 1989. Street ZIP 95330 is Lathrop. Portions of 95330 also touch Manteca. Area codes are 209 and 350. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lathrop Building Department at 390 Towne Centre Drive — not City of Manteca Building, not City of Stockton Permit Center at 501 W. Weber Avenue, and not San Joaquin County Building for an unincorporated lot.
Permits for City of Lathrop addresses run through City of Lathrop Building Department, 390 Towne Centre Drive, Lathrop, CA 95330. Call (209) 941-7270. Email: bdept@ci.lathrop.ca.us. City site is ci.lathrop.ca.us. A Manteca lot uses City of Manteca Building. A Stockton lot uses City of Stockton. A Tracy lot uses City of Tracy Building. Those are different offices.
Manteca sits east. Stockton sits north. Tracy sits southwest. French Camp is unincorporated. Interstate 5 splits town. Lathrop Road and Louise Avenue are the main east-west streets. Harlan Road and Manthey Road run north-south. Roth Road, Yosemite Avenue, McKinley Avenue, Golden Valley Parkway, and Towne Centre Drive fill in the grid. Mossdale Landing and River Islands are City of Lathrop neighborhoods. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lathrop for a city address — not a Manteca permit.
Commercial and industrial work sits on Harlan Road, Louise Avenue, Roth Road, Tesla Drive, and D'Arcy Parkway. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Harlan Road shop 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 the building up. Occupied houses and open shops 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.
