Sebastopol Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Main Street storefront. Sebastopol is its own incorporated city in Sonoma County. It is not Santa Rosa and it is not unincorporated west-county land. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Sebastopol addresses — with 95472 as the lead ZIP on this URL — Main Street, Bodega Avenue, Petaluma Avenue, Healdsburg Avenue, and The Barlow. It is not Graton, Occidental, Forestville, Cotati, Rohnert Park, or Santa Rosa.
Text “Sebastopol” 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 Sebastopol
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95472 City of Sebastopol addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Main Street and Bodega Avenue TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and medical build-outs on Main Street and Bodega Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
The Barlow, Healdsburg, and Petaluma interiors
Shop partitions, tasting-room walls, office interiors, and house walls at The Barlow, Healdsburg Avenue, Petaluma Avenue, McKinley Street, High Street, and Sebastopol Avenue.
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 Sebastopol 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 Sebastopol Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, The Barlow shop, rated 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Sebastopol house walls 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 |

Permit Sonoma at 2550 Ventura Avenue, Santa Rosa, (707) 565-1900 is a different office — that is for unincorporated Sonoma County land.
95472 is a wide ZIP. It covers the City of Sebastopol and also Freestone plus a lot of west-county addresses outside city limits. Graton uses 95444. Occidental uses 95465. Forestville uses 95436. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sebastopol — not Permit Sonoma, not Graton, not Occidental.
Main Street, Bodega Avenue, Petaluma Avenue, and The Barlow carry a lot of the commercial work. Healdsburg Avenue, McKinley Street, High Street, Sebastopol Avenue, Florence Avenue, Johnson Street, Highway 116 / Gravenstein Highway, and Highway 12 show up on a lot of plans. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Main 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 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.
