Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Moraga, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Moraga — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Rheem Center shops, Moraga Road interiors, St. Mary’s Road build-outs, and house remodels in 94556.
Moraga Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Rheem Boulevard storefront. Moraga is an incorporated Town in Lamorinda — Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda — not a city. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Moraga 94556 addresses — Moraga Road, Moraga Way, Rheem Boulevard, and St. Mary’s Road. It is not Lafayette, Orinda, or Canyon.
Text “Moraga” 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. The street decides the bid.
Metal Stud Work We Do in Moraga
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 94556. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Rheem Center and Moraga Center TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and small commercial build-outs at Rheem Valley Shopping Center and Moraga Shopping Center when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Moraga Road, Rheem, and St. Mary’s interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and house walls on Moraga Road, Moraga Way, Rheem Boulevard, St. Mary’s Road, Canyon Road, and Camino Pablo.
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.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Moraga 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 Moraga Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Rheem Center TI, Moraga Center shop, rated walls, or a remodel that needs a flat plane for Level 4 / Level 5 | You need beams, columns, or hillside structure that hold the house 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 Moraga 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 |

Moraga Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Moraga is an incorporated Town in Contra Costa County. The postal ZIP on this page is 94556. 94570 is a P.O. Box. Area code is 925. Start with Town of Moraga Planning at 329 Rheem Boulevard, Moraga, CA 94556. Call (925) 888-7040. Building permits and inspections for code-regulated work are issued by Contra Costa County Building Inspection at 30 Muir Road, Martinez, CA 94553. Call (925) 655-2700. Inspections: (925) 646-4108. Interior remodels with no exterior wall or window changes can often go straight to the county. This is not Lafayette or Orinda city halls. Text the street so the bid matches Moraga — not Lafayette, Orinda, or Canyon.
Moraga Road and Moraga Way are the two main spines. Rheem Boulevard serves Town offices and Rheem Valley Shopping Center. St. Mary’s Road runs toward Saint Mary’s College. Canyon Road heads south. There is no freeway through town. Occupied houses and open Rheem Center shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Rheem Center 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 hillside house 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.
