Dixon Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — the next city west of Dixon on I-80 — not a First Street storefront. Dixon is an incorporated Solano County city. This page is steel / metal stud framing in Dixon, CA — First Street / Highway 113, A Street, and Adams Street.
Text “Dixon” 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 Dixon
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95620. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, restaurant, and shop build-outs on First Street and A Street when the drawing says steel studs. Dixon is a small downtown grid, not Vacaville or Davis — if the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
First Street and A Street interiors
Shop partitions, restaurant walls, and rated assemblies on First Street / Highway 113, A Street, Adams Street, and other Dixon addresses in 95620.
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 Dixon 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 Dixon Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | First Street / A Street TI, 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 off First Street, A Street, and the south-side neighborhoods 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 |

Dixon Streets, ZIPs, and Permits
Dixon is an incorporated city in Solano County. The delivery ZIP on this page is 95620. It uses the 707 area code (530 and 369 also appear in the region). Permits inside city limits run through the City of Dixon Building Division at 600 East A Street, Dixon, CA 95620. Vacaville and Davis have their own desks. Unincorporated Solano County parcels go through County Building & Safety at 675 Texas Street, Suite 5500, Fairfield. Text the street so the bid matches the desk.
First Street / Highway 113 is the north-south spine. A Street is the east-west downtown street. They meet at the historic core. Adams Street is the old Highway 40 alignment. Occupied shops, First Street TIs, and house remodels change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a First Street 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.

Dixon Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Dixon?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Dixon, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, First Street and A Street TIs, house 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 Dixon houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on First Street?
Yes. Occupied retail and restaurant TIs on First Street / Highway 113 and A Street are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Dixon 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 First Street, A Street, and Adams Street?
