Aliso Viejo Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — an Orange County run, not a Pacific Park storefront. Aliso Viejo is an incorporated city in Orange County. It is not a neighborhood of Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, or Mission Viejo. It is not Los Angeles County. The City of Aliso Viejo incorporated on July 1, 2001. It was Orange County’s 34th city. Laguna Woods and Laguna Beach are different cities. The street ZIP is 92656. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Aliso Viejo addresses — Pacific Park Drive, Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo Parkway, and Moulton Parkway. The street decides the bid.
Text “Aliso Viejo” 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 Aliso Viejo
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Aliso Viejo 92656 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Pacific Park and Aliso Creek TIs
Office, medical, shop, and commercial build-outs on Pacific Park Drive and Aliso Creek Road when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Town Center and Moulton interiors
Occupied offices and commercial walls on Aliso Viejo Parkway, Glenwood Drive, and the Moulton Parkway side of the city. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Aliso Viejo 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 Aliso Viejo Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Pacific Park TI, Aliso Creek Road 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, office TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Aliso Viejo 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 |

Aliso Viejo Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Aliso Viejo is an incorporated city in Orange County — not a neighborhood of Laguna Niguel and not Los Angeles County. There is a City of Aliso Viejo Building & Safety office. Orange County Building and Safety does not issue permits inside city limits. The street ZIP is 92656. The area code is 949. Text the street so the bid matches City of Aliso Viejo Building & Safety at 12 Journey — not the City of Laguna Niguel, not the City of Laguna Hills, and not Orange County Building and Safety.
Permits for City of Aliso Viejo addresses run through City of Aliso Viejo Building & Safety: 12 Journey, Suite 100, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656. Call (949) 425-2540. Email: Building@avcity.org. Website is avcity.org. Online permitting is the city’s EnerGov portal. Fire review, when required, is Orange County Fire Authority — that is not the building permit office. City of Laguna Niguel, City of Laguna Hills, City of Laguna Beach, City of Laguna Woods, and City of Mission Viejo are different offices.
Laguna Woods sits north. Laguna Hills sits east. Laguna Niguel sits southeast. Laguna Beach sits west and southwest. Mission Viejo is a different city farther east — the shared “Viejo” name does not share a permit counter. Pacific Park Drive, Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo Parkway, Moulton Parkway, Glenwood Drive, Wood Canyon Drive, and La Paz Road fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Aliso Viejo for a city address — not a Laguna Niguel or Laguna Hills permit that only shares a border.
Commercial work sits in the Pacific Park business area and along Aliso Creek Road — offices, medical suites, and shop TIs. Occupied houses and open offices change the layout — not the stud spec. The 73 and Aliso Creek traffic change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a Pacific Park office 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.
