Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Sacramento, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Sacramento — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Downtown and Midtown shops, J Street and Capitol Mall interiors, and Land Park and East Sacramento house remodels.
Sacramento Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a valley run, not a J Street storefront. Sacramento is an incorporated city, the state capital, and the Sacramento County seat — not West Sacramento, not Elk Grove, and not an unincorporated county lot that only uses a Sacramento mailing line. City Building is at 300 Richards Boulevard. Sacramento County Building is at 827 7th Street. Those are two different offices. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Sacramento addresses — Downtown, Midtown, Old Sacramento, East Sacramento, Land Park, Oak Park, and Natomas. The street decides the bid.
Text “Sacramento” 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 Sacramento
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Sacramento addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Downtown and Midtown TIs
Restaurant, shop, office, and commercial build-outs on J Street, K Street, Capitol Mall, and the Midtown grid when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Broadway, Stockton, and Folsom interiors
Retail, medical, office, and occupied-building partitions on Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, Folsom Boulevard, Freeport Boulevard, and Del Paso Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Land Park, East Sac, and house partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Sacramento house when the finish needs a straighter plane than bowed lumber. Wood structure stays wood unless the plan says otherwise. Grid streets change the layout — not the stud spec. 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 Sacramento Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Downtown TI, Midtown shop, Capitol corridor, 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, restaurant TIs, medical suites, office interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Sacramento house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Brick, concrete, or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Sacramento Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Sacramento is an incorporated city — the state capital and the Sacramento County seat. The City of Sacramento incorporated in 1850. Downtown and the Capitol sit in 95814. Midtown and Richards Boulevard sit in 95811. East Sacramento and parts of Midtown sit in 95816. Land Park sits in 95818. Natomas uses 95833, 95834, and 95835. Many other “Sacramento” ZIPs are only partly inside city limits — or not inside at all. Area codes are 916 and 279. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sacramento Building Division at 300 Richards Boulevard — not Sacramento County Building at 827 7th Street, not West Sacramento in Yolo County, and not City of Elk Grove Building.
Permits for City of Sacramento addresses run through City of Sacramento Community Development Department, Building Division, Public Counter, 300 Richards Boulevard, 3rd Floor, Sacramento, CA 95811. Call (916) 808-5318. Email: ezpermit@cityofsacramento.org. City site is cityofsacramento.gov. City Hall is at 915 I Street. An unincorporated lot that only uses a Sacramento mailing line uses Sacramento County Building Permits at 827 7th Street, Room 102 — a different office. Those two counters are the usual mix-up.
West Sacramento sits across the river in Yolo County. Elk Grove sits south. Rancho Cordova and Folsom sit east. Citrus Heights sits northeast. Arden-Arcade and Carmichael are unincorporated county. I-5, I-80, Highway 50, and Highway 99 cut the city. J Street, K Street, and Capitol Mall are downtown. Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, Folsom Boulevard, Freeport Boulevard, Del Paso Boulevard, and Alhambra Boulevard carry shops and houses. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sacramento for a city address — not a county permit, and not a West Sacramento permit.
Commercial work sits on J Street, K Street, Capitol Mall, Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, Folsom Boulevard, and Richards Boulevard. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Midtown 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.

Sacramento Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Sacramento?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Sacramento, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Downtown and Midtown TIs, J Street and Capitol Mall interiors, Land Park and East Sac house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Sacramento a city?
Yes. The City of Sacramento incorporated in 1850. It is the state capital and the Sacramento County seat. Building permits inside city limits run through City of Sacramento Building Division at 300 Richards Boulevard — not Sacramento County Building at 827 7th Street.
Is City of Sacramento the same as Sacramento County Building?
No. Both offices sit in Sacramento. City Building is at 300 Richards Boulevard. County Building is at 827 7th Street. A city lot uses the Richards Boulevard counter. An unincorporated lot that only uses a Sacramento mailing line uses the 7th Street counter.
Is West Sacramento the same as Sacramento?
No. West Sacramento is an incorporated city in Yolo County, across the river. That is a different city and a different building department.
Does a Sacramento ZIP always mean City of Sacramento?
No. Many Sacramento ZIPs are only partly inside city limits — or sit in unincorporated county, Elk Grove, or another city. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sacramento Building.
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 Sacramento houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Downtown and Midtown TIs, rated walls, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop on J Street, K Street, or Broadway?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, medical, and commercial tenant improvements on J Street, K Street, Capitol Mall, Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, and Folsom Boulevard are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Sacramento buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house or an open shop. Downtown traffic and Capitol events change the schedule — not the stud spec.

How much does metal stud framing cost in Sacramento?
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.
