Metal Stud Work We Do in Fairfax
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Fairfax 94930 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Broadway and Bolinas TIs
Shop, restaurant, cafe, and commercial build-outs on Broadway and Bolinas Road — Fairfax’s downtown — when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Center Boulevard interiors
Retail, office, and shop partitions on Center Boulevard and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard when the address is Town of Fairfax. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Cascade, Scenic, and hillside interiors
House and small-shop partitions on Cascade Drive, Scenic Road, Park Road, and other Fairfax streets. San Anselmo sits east — town limits still decide the permit office.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Fairfax 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 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 Fairfax Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Broadway or Bolinas TI, Center Boulevard shop, rated walls, or a finish that needs a flat plane for Level 4 / Level 5 | You need beams, columns, or hillside 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 restaurant TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Fairfax house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete, brick, or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Fairfax Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Fairfax is an incorporated town in Marin County — Ross Valley. This page uses street ZIP 94930. 94978 is a Fairfax PO Box. Area codes are 415 and 628. Nearby San Anselmo uses 94960. Ross uses 94957. Woodacre uses 94973. Larkspur uses 94939. San Rafael uses 94901. This is Fairfax, California — not Fairfax, Virginia. Text the street so the bid matches Town of Fairfax Planning and Building — not Town of San Anselmo Building at 525 San Anselmo Avenue, not Town of Ross Building at 31 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, not City of San Rafael Building at 1400 Fifth Avenue, and not Marin County Building at 3501 Civic Center Drive for an unincorporated parcel.
Permits for Town of Fairfax addresses run through Town of Fairfax Planning and Building Services, Town Hall, 142 Bolinas Road, Fairfax, CA 94930. Planning and Building: (415) 453-1584. Building Official: (415) 458-2370. Inspection line: (415) 453-2263. Town site is townoffairfaxca.gov. Unincorporated Sleepy Hollow and San Geronimo Valley lots that only sit next to Fairfax run through Marin County Building — a different office.
San Anselmo sits east. Ross sits southeast. Woodacre and the San Geronimo Valley sit west over White’s Hill. Sleepy Hollow sits north. Bolinas Road runs south toward the Mount Tamalpais watershed. Text the street so the bid matches Town of Fairfax for a town address — not a San Anselmo 94960 permit, and not County Building for a town lot.
Commercial work sits on Broadway, Bolinas Road, Center Boulevard, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, and Park Road. Occupied houses and open shops 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 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.
