Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Lodi, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Lodi — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: downtown School Street and Pine Street shops, Kettleman Lane and Cherokee Lane commercial interiors, and house remodels in 95240 and 95242.
Lodi Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a San Joaquin County run, not a School Street storefront. Lodi is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — not Woodbridge, not Acampo, not Lockeford, and not Stockton. Street ZIPs 95240 and 95242 are Lodi. PO boxes use 95241. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Lodi addresses — School Street, Pine Street, Lodi Avenue, Kettleman Lane, and Cherokee Lane. The street decides the bid.
Text “Lodi” 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 Lodi
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at Lodi 95240 and 95242 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Downtown School Street and Pine Street TIs
Shop, tasting room, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs downtown when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Kettleman Lane and Cherokee Lane interiors
Occupied shops, retail partitions, and Highway 99 / Highway 12 commercial walls on Kettleman Lane, Cherokee Lane, Ham Lane, and Lower Sacramento Road. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Lodi house 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 Lodi Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Downtown TI, Kettleman shop, Cherokee Lane suite, 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Lodi 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 |

Lodi Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Lodi is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — not an unincorporated community. City of Lodi Building Division issues permits inside city limits. Street ZIPs 95240 and 95242 are Lodi. 95240 covers downtown and much of the east side. 95242 covers much of the west side. PO boxes use 95241. Area codes are 209 and 350. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lodi Building at 221 West Pine Street — not San Joaquin County Building for a Woodbridge lot, not City of Stockton Building, and not City of Galt Building.
Permits for City of Lodi addresses run through City of Lodi Community Development Department, Building Division. Office: 221 West Pine Street, Lodi, CA 95240. Call (209) 333-6714. City site is lodi.gov. An unincorporated Woodbridge, Acampo, or Lockeford lot uses San Joaquin County Building at 1810 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton. A City of Stockton lot uses City of Stockton Permit Center at 501 West Weber Avenue. A Galt lot uses City of Galt in Sacramento County. Those are different offices.
Woodbridge sits northwest in 95258. Acampo sits north in 95220. Lockeford sits east in 95237. Stockton sits south. Galt sits north in Sacramento County with ZIP 95632. Highway 99 and Highway 12 / Kettleman Lane are the main commercial corridors. Downtown clusters on School Street, Pine Street, Lodi Avenue, Church Street, and Sacramento Street. Cherokee Lane, Ham Lane, Hutchins Street, Lower Sacramento Road, Turner Road, Lockeford Street, West Lane, and Tokay Street fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lodi for a city address — not a county permit.
Commercial work sits downtown and on Kettleman Lane and Cherokee Lane. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. Highway 99 traffic changes the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a School Street tasting-room 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.

Is Lodi a city?

Do Lodi houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop downtown or on Kettleman Lane or Cherokee Lane?
Yes. Occupied retail, tasting rooms, restaurants, offices, and commercial tenant improvements on School Street, Pine Street, Kettleman Lane, and Cherokee Lane are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
