Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Alhambra, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Alhambra — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Main Street shops, Valley Boulevard interiors, and house remodels in 91801 and 91803.
Alhambra Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a San Gabriel Valley run, not a Main Street storefront. Alhambra is an incorporated city in the western San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. It is not a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles. The City of Alhambra incorporated on July 11, 1903. San Gabriel, Monterey Park, and South Pasadena are different cities. Street ZIPs are 91801 and 91803. PO boxes use 91802. 91803 also covers parts of Monterey Park. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Alhambra addresses — Main Street, Garfield Avenue, Valley Boulevard, and Atlantic Boulevard. The street decides the bid.
Text “Alhambra” 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 Alhambra
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Alhambra 91801 and 91803 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Main Street and Garfield TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, medical, and commercial build-outs on Main Street and Garfield Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Valley Boulevard and Atlantic interiors
Occupied shops and commercial walls on Valley Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Fremont Avenue, and Mission Road. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Alhambra 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 an Alhambra Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, Valley Boulevard 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 Alhambra 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 |

Alhambra Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Alhambra is an incorporated city in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County — not a City of Los Angeles neighborhood. There is a City of Alhambra Building Division. LADBS does not issue permits inside city limits. Street ZIPs are 91801 and 91803. PO boxes use 91802. 91803 also covers parts of Monterey Park. Area codes are 626 and 323. Text the street so the bid matches City of Alhambra Building Division at 111 South First Street — not City of San Gabriel, not City of Monterey Park, and not Los Angeles County Public Works at 900 South Fremont Avenue.
Permits for City of Alhambra addresses run through City of Alhambra Community Development, Building Division: 111 South First Street, Alhambra, CA 91801. Call (626) 570-5032. Email: building@cityofalhambra.org. Website is cityofalhambra.org. Los Angeles County Public Works headquarters is at 900 South Fremont Avenue, Alhambra, CA 91803 — that office serves unincorporated County lots and contract cities. It is not City of Alhambra Building Division. City of San Gabriel, City of Monterey Park, City of South Pasadena, and City of San Marino are different offices.
San Gabriel sits east. Monterey Park sits south. South Pasadena sits northwest. San Marino sits northeast. Rosemead sits east. Pasadena sits north. Main Street and Garfield Avenue are the historic downtown spines. Valley Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Fremont Avenue, and Mission Road fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Alhambra for a city address — not a Monterey Park or San Gabriel permit that only shares a ZIP or a border.
Commercial work sits on Main Street, Garfield Avenue, and Valley Boulevard. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. The 10, Atlantic, and Valley Boulevard traffic change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a Valley Boulevard 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 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.
