Brawley Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Main Street storefront. Brawley is an incorporated city in Imperial County. It is not El Centro and it is not Calipatria. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Brawley 92227 addresses — Main Street, Imperial Avenue, Highway 86, Highway 111, and Best Avenue. It is not El Centro, Imperial, Calipatria, Westmorland, or Holtville.
Text “Brawley” 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. The street decides the bid.
Metal Stud Work We Do in Brawley
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 92227. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Main Street and Imperial Avenue TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and medical build-outs on Main Street and Imperial Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Highway 86, Highway 111, and Best Avenue interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and house walls on Highway 86, Highway 111, Highway 78, Best Avenue, 5th Street, and Malan Street.
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 Brawley 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 Brawley Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, Imperial Avenue shop, rated 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Brawley 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 |

Brawley Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Brawley is an incorporated city in Imperial County. The street ZIP on this page is 92227. Area codes are 760 and 442. Permits run through the City of Brawley Building Division at 205 S Imperial Avenue, Brawley, CA 92227. Call (760) 344-8622. Planning: (760) 344-8822. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Website: brawley-ca.gov. The city requires a Brawley contractor business license before work starts. This is not El Centro Building and not Imperial County for unincorporated land. Text the street so the bid matches Brawley — not El Centro, Imperial, Calipatria, Westmorland, or Holtville.
Main Street and Imperial Avenue carry a lot of the commercial work. Highway 86, Highway 111, Highway 78, Best Avenue, 5th Street, and Malan Street show up on a lot of plans. Occupied houses and open shops 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 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.
