Metal Stud Work We Do in Keyes
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95328. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, shop, and small commercial build-outs on 7th Street and along Keyes Road and Golden State Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. Keyes is a compact unincorporated community — if the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
7th Street, Keyes Road, and Faith Home interiors
Shop partitions, restaurant walls, and rated assemblies on 7th Street, Keyes Road, Faith Home Road, Golden State Boulevard, and Nunes Road in Keyes.
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 Keyes 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 Keyes Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | 7th Street TI, Keyes Road and Golden State shops, 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, shop TIs, office interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most house walls off 8th Street, 9th Street, 10th Street, Anna Avenue, Esmail Avenue, Jennie Avenue, and the neighborhood streets 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 |

Keyes Streets, ZIPs, and Permits
Keyes is an unincorporated census-designated place in Stanislaus County — not an incorporated city. The delivery ZIP on this page is 95328. It uses the 209 area code. This is not Bel Marin Keys in Marin County (94949). Permits in Keyes run through the Stanislaus County Building Permit Division at 1010 10th Street, Suite 3400, Modesto. Ceres, Turlock, and Hughson have their own building desks. Text the street so the bid matches the Keyes address.
7th Street is the community core. Keyes Road, Faith Home Road, and Golden State Boulevard carry the edges. Washington Road, Rohde Road, Nunes Road, Esmail Avenue, and Highway 99 tie Keyes to Ceres and Turlock. Occupied shops, 7th Street TIs, and house remodels change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a 7th 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.

Keyes Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Keyes?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Keyes, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, 7th Street, Keyes Road, and Faith Home Road 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 Keyes houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on 7th Street TIs, rated partitions, 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 7th Street?
Yes. Occupied retail and small commercial TIs on 7th Street and along Keyes Road and Golden State Boulevard are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Keyes buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house, an open 7th Street shop, or an after-hours office. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
Do you work 7th Street, Keyes Road, and Faith Home?

What ZIPs does this Keyes page cover?
95328. Text the street with the photos so the bid matches the Keyes address — not Ceres, Hughson, Turlock, or Bel Marin Keys 94949.
Who issues the permit in Keyes?
