Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Rio Linda — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Rio Linda Boulevard and Elkhorn Boulevard shops, Q Street and 6th Street interiors, and house remodels in 95673.
Rio Linda Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Sacramento-area run, not a Rio Linda Boulevard storefront. Rio Linda is not a city. It is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sacramento County — not City of Sacramento, not North Highlands, and not Antelope. Street ZIP 95673 is Rio Linda. Portions of that ZIP also touch Sacramento and McClellan Park. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Rio Linda 95673 addresses — Rio Linda Boulevard, Elkhorn Boulevard, Q Street, and 6th Street. The street decides the bid.
Text “Rio Linda” 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 Rio Linda
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at Rio Linda 95673 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Rio Linda Boulevard and Elkhorn TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, warehouse office, and commercial build-outs on Rio Linda Boulevard and Elkhorn Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Q Street and 6th Street interiors
Occupied shops, small commercial partitions, and house-adjacent commercial walls on Q Street, 6th Street, 2nd Street, and Dry Creek Road. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Rio Linda Boulevard TI, Elkhorn shop, rated walls, 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Rio Linda 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 |

Rio Linda Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Rio Linda is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sacramento County — not an incorporated city. There is no City of Rio Linda Building Department. Street ZIP 95673 is Rio Linda. Portions of 95673 also touch Sacramento and McClellan Park. Area codes are 916 and 279. Text the street so the bid matches Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection at 827 7th Street, Room 102 — not City of Sacramento Building, not City of Citrus Heights Building & Safety, and not a North Highlands 95660 lot treated as the same place.
Permits for unincorporated Rio Linda addresses run through Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection. Downtown Building Assistance Center: 827 7th Street, Room 102, Sacramento, CA 95814. Call (916) 875-5296. County site is building.saccounty.gov. Goethe office is 9700 Goethe Road, Sacramento, CA 95827. A City of Sacramento lot uses City of Sacramento Building. A Citrus Heights lot uses City of Citrus Heights. Those are different offices.
Elverta sits north. North Highlands sits east in 95660. Antelope sits farther east in 95843. McClellan Park uses 95652. City of Sacramento sits south. Rio Linda Boulevard and Elkhorn Boulevard are the main commercial streets. Q Street, 6th Street, 2nd Street, Dry Creek Road, Marysville Boulevard, Front Street, and M Street fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches Sacramento County for a Rio Linda address — not a City of Sacramento permit.
Commercial work sits on Rio Linda Boulevard and Elkhorn Boulevard. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating an Elkhorn shop 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.
