Redwood City Framing, Fairfield Crew
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Redwood City storefront. This page is steel / metal stud framing in Redwood City, CA — Broadway, El Camino Real, Woodside Road, Middlefield Road, and Redwood Shores Parkway.
Text “Redwood City” 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 Redwood City
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 94061, 94062, 94063, and 94065. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, restaurant, medical, and office build-outs on Broadway, along El Camino Real, and in Redwood Shores. If the drawing says steel studs, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Downtown, Broadway, and Redwood Shores interiors
Shop partitions, restaurant walls, and rated assemblies on Broadway, El Camino Real, Middlefield Road, and Redwood Shores Parkway 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.
Ranch remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Redwood City 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 Redwood City Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Broadway TI, Downtown shops, Redwood Shores 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 west of El Camino and off Woodside Road 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 |

Redwood City Streets, ZIPs, and Permits
Redwood City is an incorporated San Mateo County city — May 11, 1867. City delivery ZIPs on this page are 94061, 94062, 94063, and 94065 (94064 is a Redwood City PO box). It uses the 650 area code. Permits inside city limits run through the City of Redwood City Building Division at 1017 Middlefield Road. ZIP 94062 also covers Woodside and some unincorporated streets — those are not this page. Text the street so the bid matches the address.
Broadway carries Downtown. El Camino Real and Woodside Road run the commercial spine. Middlefield Road, Veterans Boulevard, and Redwood Shores Parkway tie the neighborhoods together. Occupied shops, Downtown TIs, and house remodels change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Broadway 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 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.

Not on This Page
No fake Redwood City address. No structural steel building. No promise that metal studs hold a house up. We frame interior light-gauge walls and hang drywall on wood or steel. A closet does not need a shaft-wall spec. Woodside shares parts of 94062 but is a different town. San Carlos, Atherton, and Menlo Park are different cities. This page is the City of Redwood City.
Redwood City Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Redwood City?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Redwood City, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Broadway and Downtown TIs, El Camino and Redwood Shores interiors, 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 Redwood City houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Broadway and Downtown TIs, Redwood Shores interiors, rated partitions, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop Downtown or on Broadway?
Yes. Occupied retail and restaurant TIs on Broadway, along El Camino Real, and in Redwood Shores are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Redwood City 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.
Do you work Broadway, El Camino, and Redwood Shores?
Yes. Broadway, El Camino Real, Woodside Road, Middlefield Road, Redwood Shores Parkway, and other addresses inside city limits are on this framing page. Text the street with the photos.
What ZIPs does this Redwood City page cover?
94061, 94062, 94063, and 94065. 94064 is a Redwood City PO box. ZIP 94062 also covers Woodside. Text the street with the photos so the bid matches the address inside the city.
Who issues the permit in Redwood City?
The City of Redwood City Building Division at 1017 Middlefield Road.
How much does metal stud framing cost in Redwood City?
It follows the gauge, wall height, how cut-up the layout is, fire rating, access, and whether we only frame or also hang and finish. Photos or plans first. Written scope — no hidden fees.
Are you licensed in California?
Yes. CSLB #265709. Look it up before you book us or anyone else.
