Dillon Beach Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a West Marin run, not a beach-village storefront. Dillon Beach is an unincorporated census-designated place in Marin County — not Tomales, not Bodega Bay, and not Point Reyes Station. It does not have its own city building division. ZIP 94929 is Dillon Beach. 94971 is Tomales. 94923 is Bodega Bay. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Dillon Beach 94929 addresses — Dillon Beach Road, Oceana Drive, Cypress Avenue, Beach Avenue, and Ocean View Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Dillon Beach” 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 Dillon Beach
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Dillon Beach 94929 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Oceana Drive interiors
House partitions and remodel walls in Oceana Marin on Oceana Drive, Kailua Way, Kona Lane, Maui Lane, and Kameha Way. Coastal access changes the layout — not the stud spec.
Cypress, Beach, and village interiors
Cottage, rental, and small-shop partitions on Cypress Avenue, Beach Avenue, Cliff Street, Park Avenue, and Ocean View Avenue when the address is Dillon Beach 94929.
Resort and rental interiors
Occupied-unit partitions, soffits, and backing at Dillon Beach Resort and other lodging interiors when the drawing says steel studs. Commercial framing →
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Dillon Beach 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. Interior metal studs are not a wildfire or salt-air retrofit for the house.
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 Dillon Beach Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Oceana Marin remodel, resort TI, rated walls, or a finish that needs a flat plane for Level 4 / Level 5 | You need beams, columns, or coastal 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, kitchen-heavy interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Dillon Beach house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete, block, or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Dillon Beach Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Dillon Beach is an unincorporated census-designated place in Marin County — West Marin, at the mouth of Tomales Bay. George Dillon settled here in 1858. This page uses ZIP 94929. Area codes are 707 and 369. Nearby Tomales uses 94971. Marshall uses 94940. Valley Ford uses 94972. Bodega Bay uses 94923. Point Reyes Station uses 94956. Text the street so the bid matches Marin County Building — not Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management for a Bodega Bay or Valley Ford lot, and not a town hall in Dillon Beach. There is no Town of Dillon Beach building department.
Permits for Dillon Beach 94929 addresses run through Marin County Community Development Agency, Building and Safety Division, 3501 Civic Center Drive, Suite 308, San Rafael, CA 94903. Call (415) 473-6550. County site is marincounty.gov. Tomales 94971 is also unincorporated Marin County — same county desk, different community page. Bodega Bay and Valley Ford sit in Sonoma County — a different office.
Tomales sits east on Highway 1. Valley Ford and Bodega sit north in Sonoma County. Marshall sits south on Tomales Bay. Dillon Beach Road is the only paved road in from Highway 1. Text the street so the bid matches Marin County for a Dillon Beach address — not a Sonoma County 94923 permit, and not a Tomales-only mailing mix-up on Dillon Beach Road parcels that use 94971.
Work sits on Dillon Beach Road, Oceana Drive, Cypress Avenue, Beach Avenue, Ocean View Avenue, Cliff Street, Park Avenue, Marine View Drive, and the Oceana Marin lanes. Occupied vacation houses and open resort units change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a resort partition like a bedroom 2×4 — or hanging a Level 5 finish on house framing that only needed wood hang-only. Interior metal studs do not hold the building up. Occupied rentals 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.
