San Anselmo Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Ross Valley run, not a San Anselmo Avenue storefront. San Anselmo is an incorporated town in Marin County — not Fairfax, not San Rafael, and not Ross. It has its own Building Department at 525 San Anselmo Avenue, Second Floor. Street ZIP 94960 is San Anselmo. 94979 is a San Anselmo PO Box. 94930 is Fairfax. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Town of San Anselmo 94960 addresses — San Anselmo Avenue, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, and Red Hill Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “San Anselmo” 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 San Anselmo
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in San Anselmo 94960 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
San Anselmo Avenue TIs
Restaurant, shop, office, and commercial build-outs on San Anselmo Avenue — the town’s downtown street — when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Sir Francis Drake and Red Hill interiors
Shop and office partitions on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Red Hill Avenue, and Center Boulevard around the Hub. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Tunstead, Butterfield, and 94960 interiors
House and small-shop partitions on Tunstead Avenue, Butterfield Road, and other Town of San Anselmo streets. A Sleepy Hollow lot that only uses a 94960 mailing ZIP may be unincorporated — text the street.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing San Anselmo 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 San Anselmo Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | San Anselmo Avenue TI, Red Hill 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, restaurant TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most San Anselmo house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Brick, stone, or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

San Anselmo Streets, ZIP, and Permits
San Anselmo is an incorporated town in Marin County — Ross Valley. This page uses street ZIP 94960. 94979 is a San Anselmo PO Box. Area codes are 415 and 628. Nearby Fairfax uses 94930. San Rafael uses 94901 and 94903. Ross uses 94957. Text the street so the bid matches Town of San Anselmo Building Department — not Town of Fairfax Building at 142 Bolinas Road, not City of San Rafael Building at 1400 Fifth Avenue, not Town of Ross Building at 31 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, and not Marin County Building at 3501 Civic Center Drive for an unincorporated parcel.
Permits for Town of San Anselmo addresses run through Town of San Anselmo Building Department, 525 San Anselmo Avenue, Second Floor, San Anselmo, CA 94960. Call (415) 258-4616 or (415) 258-4646. Email: permits@sananselmo.gov. Town site is townofsananselmo.org. Sleepy Hollow and other unincorporated lots that only use a 94960 mailing ZIP run through Marin County Building — a different office.
Fairfax sits west. San Rafael sits east. Ross sits south. Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Red Hill Avenue, and Center Boulevard meet at the Hub. San Anselmo Avenue is downtown. Text the street so the bid matches Town of San Anselmo for a town address — not a Fairfax 94930 permit, and not a San Rafael 94901 permit.
Commercial work sits on San Anselmo Avenue, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Red Hill Avenue, Center Boulevard, and Tunstead Avenue. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a San Anselmo Avenue 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.
