Turlock Framing, Fairfield Crew
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Turlock storefront. Turlock is an incorporated Stanislaus County city south of Ceres and Denair.

Metal Stud Work We Do in Turlock
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95380 and 95382. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, restaurant, office, and medical build-outs on Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, and Geer Road when the drawing says steel studs. Turlock is a real Highway 99 city with downtown plus corridor retail — if the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Main Street, Golden State, and Geer interiors
Shop partitions, restaurant walls, and rated assemblies on Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, Geer Road, Lander Avenue / Highway 165, Monte Vista Avenue, and Broadway in Turlock.
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 Turlock 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 Turlock Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, Golden State and Geer Road shops, medical and office suites, 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, restaurant TIs, office interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most house walls off Hawkeye Avenue, Monte Vista Avenue, Crowell Road, 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 |

Turlock Streets, ZIPs, and Permits
Turlock is an incorporated city in Stanislaus County. Delivery ZIPs on this page are 95380 and 95382. 95380 covers downtown and the west side of town. 95382 covers the east side, including the CSU Stanislaus area. 95381 is a PO Box ZIP. The city uses the 209 area code. Permits inside city limits run through the City of Turlock Building and Safety Division at 156 S. Broadway, Suite 130, Turlock, CA 95380. Ceres, Denair, and Keyes are different desks. Unincorporated work around the city often goes to Stanislaus County in Modesto. Text the street so the bid matches the desk.
Main Street is downtown. Golden State Boulevard runs parallel to Highway 99. Geer Road is the north-south commercial spine. Lander Avenue is Highway 165 into town. Monte Vista Avenue, Broadway, 20th Century Boulevard, and Hawkeye Avenue tie shops and houses to that grid. Occupied shops, Main Street TIs, and house remodels change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Main 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.

Turlock Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Turlock?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Turlock, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, and Geer 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 Turlock houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, and Geer Road 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 Main Street or Geer Road?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and medical TIs on Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, Geer Road, and Lander Avenue are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Turlock buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house, an open Main Street shop, or an after-hours office. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
Do you work Main Street, Golden State, Geer, and Lander?
Yes. Main Street, Golden State Boulevard, Geer Road, Lander Avenue / Highway 165, Monte Vista Avenue, Broadway, and other Turlock addresses in 95380 and 95382 are on this framing page. Text the street with the photos.
What ZIPs does this Turlock page cover?
95380 and 95382. 95381 is a PO Box ZIP. Text the street with the photos so the bid matches the Turlock address — not Ceres, Denair, or Keyes.

How much does metal stud framing cost in Turlock?
