Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Manteca, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Manteca — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies.

Manteca 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 Yosemite Avenue storefront. Manteca is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — not Lathrop, not Ripon, not Tracy, and not Stockton. Street ZIPs 95336 and 95337 are Manteca. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Manteca addresses — Yosemite Avenue, Main Street, Center Street, Louise Avenue, and Union Road. The street decides the bid.
Text “Manteca” 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 Manteca
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at Manteca 95336 and 95337 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Downtown Main Street and Yosemite TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs downtown when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Highway 99 and Louise Avenue interiors
Occupied shops, retail partitions, and commercial walls on East Yosemite Avenue, Louise Avenue, Lathrop Road, Airport Way, and Moffat Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Manteca 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 Manteca Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Downtown TI, Yosemite shop, Highway 99 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 Manteca 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 |

Manteca Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Manteca is an incorporated city in San Joaquin County — not an unincorporated community. City of Manteca Building Safety issues permits inside city limits. Street ZIPs 95336 and 95337 are Manteca. 95336 covers much of the older core and north side. 95337 covers much of the west and newer south side. Area codes are 209 and 350. Text the street so the bid matches City of Manteca Building Safety at 1215 West Center Street, Suite 201 — not City of Lathrop Building, not City of Ripon Building, and not City of Stockton Building.
Permits for City of Manteca addresses run through City of Manteca Development Services Department, Building Safety Division. Office: 1215 West Center Street, Suite 201, Manteca, CA 95337. Call (209) 456-8500. City site is manteca.gov. A City of Lathrop lot uses City of Lathrop Building. A City of Ripon lot uses City of Ripon. A City of Tracy lot uses City of Tracy. A City of Stockton lot uses City of Stockton Permit Center at 501 West Weber Avenue. An unincorporated French Camp lot uses San Joaquin County Building at 1810 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton. Those are different offices.
Lathrop sits west in 95330. Ripon sits southeast in 95366. Tracy sits farther west. Stockton sits north. French Camp sits northwest in 95231. Highway 99 and Highway 120 are the main freeway edges. Yosemite Avenue and Main Street are the downtown pair. Center Street, Louise Avenue, Lathrop Road, Union Road, Airport Way, Moffat Boulevard, Spreckels Avenue, Northgate Drive, and Austin Road fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Manteca for a city address — not a Lathrop or county permit.
Commercial work sits downtown and on Yosemite Avenue toward Highway 99. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. Highway 99 and Highway 120 traffic change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a Yosemite Avenue 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.
