Bell Gardens Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Gateway Cities run, not a Garfield Avenue storefront. Bell Gardens is an incorporated city in southeastern Los Angeles County. It is not a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles. It is not the City of Bell. The City of Bell Gardens incorporated on August 1, 1961. Bell, Cudahy, Commerce, Downey, and South Gate are different cities. The common street ZIP is 90201. That ZIP also covers Bell and Cudahy. PO boxes use 90202. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Bell Gardens addresses — Garfield Avenue, Eastern Avenue, Florence Avenue, Gage Avenue, and Suva Street. The street decides the bid.
Text “Bell Gardens” 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 Bell Gardens
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at City of Bell Gardens addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Garfield and Eastern TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, medical, and commercial build-outs on Garfield Avenue and Eastern Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Florence, Gage, and Slauson interiors
Occupied shops and commercial walls on Florence Avenue, Gage Avenue, Slauson Avenue, Bandini Boulevard, and Firestone Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Bell Gardens 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 Bell Gardens Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Garfield Avenue TI, Eastern 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 Bell Gardens 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 |

Bell Gardens Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Bell Gardens is an incorporated city in southeastern Los Angeles County — not a City of Los Angeles neighborhood and not the City of Bell. There is a City of Bell Gardens Building and Safety Division. LADBS does not issue permits inside city limits. The common street ZIP is 90201. That ZIP also covers Bell and Cudahy. PO boxes use 90202. Area codes are 323 and 562. Text the street so the bid matches City of Bell Gardens Building and Safety at 7100 Garfield Avenue — not City of Bell, not City of Cudahy, not City of Commerce, and not LADBS.
Permits for City of Bell Gardens addresses run through City of Bell Gardens Community Development, Building and Safety Division: 7100 Garfield Avenue, Bell Gardens, CA 90201. Building and Safety: (562) 806-7740. City Hall: (562) 806-7700. Email: building@bellgardens.org. Website is bellgardens.org. City of Bell Building and Safety is a different office. City of Cudahy, City of Commerce, City of Downey, City of South Gate, and City of Maywood are different offices.
Bell and Cudahy sit west. Commerce sits north. Downey sits southeast. South Gate sits west. Maywood sits northwest. Pico Rivera sits east. Bellflower sits farther south. Garfield Avenue and Eastern Avenue are the main commercial spines. Florence Avenue, Gage Avenue, Slauson Avenue, Bandini Boulevard, Firestone Boulevard, Suva Street, Clara Street, and Jaboneria Road fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Bell Gardens for a city address — not a Bell or Cudahy permit that only shares 90201.
Commercial work sits on Garfield Avenue, Eastern Avenue, Florence Avenue, and Gage Avenue. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. The 710, the 5, and Garfield traffic change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a Garfield 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 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.
