Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Sausalito — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Bridgeway shops, Caledonia interiors, Marinship build-outs, and hillside house remodels in 94965.
Sausalito Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Marin run, not a Bridgeway storefront. Sausalito is an incorporated city in Marin County — not Marin City, not Mill Valley, and not Tiburon. It has its own Building Division at City Hall, 420 Litho Street. Street ZIP 94965 covers City of Sausalito and also Marin City. 94966 is a Sausalito PO Box. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Sausalito 94965 addresses — Bridgeway, Caledonia Street, Litho Street, and Marinship. The street decides the bid.
Text “Sausalito” 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 Sausalito
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Sausalito addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Bridgeway TIs
Restaurant, shop, gallery, hotel, and commercial build-outs on Bridgeway — Sausalito’s waterfront street — when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Caledonia and Litho interiors
Office, shop, and civic-adjacent partitions on Caledonia Street, Litho Street, Princess Street, and Second Street. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Marinship and 94965 interiors
Studio, shop, and office partitions in Marinship when the lot is City of Sausalito. A Marin City address that only shares ZIP 94965 uses Marin County Building — a different office.
Hillside house remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Sausalito house when the finish needs a straighter plane than bowed lumber. Wood structure stays wood unless the plan says otherwise. Narrow streets change the layout — not the stud spec. 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 Sausalito Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Bridgeway TI, Caledonia shop, Marinship studio, 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 Sausalito 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 |

Sausalito Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Sausalito is an incorporated city in Marin County — south Marin, north of the Golden Gate. This page uses street ZIP 94965. 94966 is a Sausalito PO Box. Area codes are 415 and 628. Marin City also uses 94965 and is unincorporated. Nearby Mill Valley uses 94941. Tiburon and Belvedere use 94920. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sausalito Building Division — not Marin County Building at 3501 Civic Center Drive for a Marin City lot, not City of Mill Valley Building at 26 Corte Madera Avenue, and not Town of Tiburon Building at 1505 Tiburon Boulevard.
Permits for City of Sausalito addresses run through City of Sausalito Community Development, Building Division, City Hall, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, CA 94965. Call (415) 289-4132. Community Development: (415) 289-4128. Inspections: (415) 289-4100 ext. 800. Email: cdd@sausalito.gov. City site is sausalito.gov. Marin City lots that only share ZIP 94965 run through Marin County Building and Safety — a different office.
Marin City sits northwest. Mill Valley sits north. Tiburon sits east. Highway 101 and the Golden Gate Bridge sit south. Bridgeway is the waterfront street. Caledonia is the New Town commercial street. Text the street so the bid matches City of Sausalito for a city address — not a Marin City county permit, and not a Mill Valley 94941 permit.
Commercial work sits on Bridgeway, Caledonia Street, Litho Street, Princess Street, Second Street, and in Marinship. Occupied restaurants, hillside houses, and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Bridgeway restaurant 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.

Sausalito Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Sausalito?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Sausalito, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Bridgeway TIs, Caledonia interiors, Marinship studios, hillside house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Sausalito a city?
Yes. The City of Sausalito incorporated on September 4, 1893. Building permits inside city limits run through City of Sausalito Building Division at 420 Litho Street — not Marin City, not Mill Valley, not Tiburon, and not Marin County Building.
Is Marin City the same as Sausalito?
No. Marin City is an unincorporated community that shares ZIP 94965 with Sausalito. A Marin City lot uses Marin County Building and Safety at 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael — not this City of Sausalito page.
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 Sausalito houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Bridgeway TIs, restaurant interiors, rated walls, 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 Bridgeway or Caledonia?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, gallery, hotel, and commercial tenant improvements on Bridgeway, Caledonia Street, and in Marinship are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Sausalito buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied hillside house or an open shop. Narrow streets and weekend tourist traffic change the schedule — not the stud spec.
Does 94965 always mean City of Sausalito?
No. 94965 covers City of Sausalito and Marin City. 94966 is a Sausalito PO Box. Nearby Mill Valley uses 94941. Tiburon uses 94920. Text the street so the bid matches City Building or County Building.
Do you work Bridgeway, Caledonia, and Marinship?

What ZIP does this Sausalito page cover?

How much does metal stud framing cost in Sausalito?
It follows the gauge, wall height, how cut-up the layout is, fire rating, access, and whether we only frame or also hang and finish. Photos or plans first. Written scope — no hidden fees.
Are you licensed in California?
Yes. CSLB #265709. Look it up before you book us or anyone else. Work at a City of Sausalito address uses City of Sausalito Building Division — not Marin County Building unless the lot is Marin City or otherwise unincorporated.
