Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in North Highlands — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies.

North Highlands Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Sacramento Valley run, not a Watt Avenue storefront. North Highlands is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sacramento County — not Citrus Heights, not Antelope, and not the City of Sacramento. It does not have its own city building division. Street ZIP 95660 is North Highlands. 95652 is McClellan Park. 95843 is Antelope. This page is steel / metal stud framing at North Highlands 95660 addresses — Watt Avenue, Elkhorn Boulevard, Walerga Road, Antelope Road, and Roseville Road. The street decides the bid.
Text “North Highlands” 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 North Highlands
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in North Highlands 95660 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Watt Avenue TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Watt Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Elkhorn and Walerga interiors
Retail, shop, and office partitions on Elkhorn Boulevard, Walerga Road, Don Julio Boulevard, and Antelope Road. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
McClellan-area and 95660 interiors
Warehouse-office, shop, and light-industrial partitions on Roseville Road, Airbase Drive, Orange Grove Avenue, and Hillsdale Boulevard when the address is North Highlands 95660. McClellan Park 95652 is next door — a different ZIP and a different page if you build one.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing North Highlands 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.
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 North Highlands Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Watt Avenue TI, Elkhorn or Walerga shop, McClellan-area office walls, rated partitions, or a finish 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, Watt Avenue TIs, warehouse-office walls, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most North Highlands 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 |

North Highlands Streets, ZIP, and Permits
North Highlands is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sacramento County — not a city with its own building desk. This page uses street ZIP 95660. Area codes are 916 and 279. Nearby McClellan Park uses 95652. Antelope uses 95843. Foothill Farms uses 95841 / 95842. Rio Linda uses 95673. Citrus Heights uses 95610 / 95621. Text the street so the bid matches Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection — not City of Citrus Heights Building & Safety at 6360 Fountain Square Drive, not City of Sacramento Building, and not City of Roseville Building Division at 311 Vernon Street.
Permits for North Highlands 95660 addresses run through Sacramento County Community Development, Building Permits and Inspection Division. Building Assistance Center: 9800 Goethe Road, Sacramento, CA 95827. Downtown Permit Center: 827 7th Street, Room 102, Sacramento, CA 95814. Public inquiries: (916) 875-5296. County site is building.saccounty.gov. Antelope, Foothill Farms, Rio Linda, and McClellan Park are also unincorporated Sacramento County — same county desk, different community pages. City lots in Citrus Heights, Sacramento, or Roseville are different offices.
Antelope sits northeast. Foothill Farms sits east. Rio Linda sits west. Citrus Heights sits east. City of Sacramento sits southwest. Interstate 80 cuts the south edge. McClellan Business Park and Sacramento McClellan Airport sit on the old air-depot land. Text the street so the bid matches Sacramento County for a North Highlands address — not a Citrus Heights 95621 permit, and not a City of Sacramento permit for a city lot.
Commercial work sits on Watt Avenue, Elkhorn Boulevard, Walerga Road, Antelope Road, Roseville Road, Don Julio Boulevard, Madison Avenue, Orange Grove Avenue, and Airbase Drive. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Watt Avenue 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.
