Cerritos Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Southern California run, not a Bloomfield Avenue storefront. Cerritos is an incorporated city in southeast Los Angeles County. It is a Gateway City. It is not Artesia, not Norwalk, and not La Mirada. Street ZIP 90703 is Cerritos. 90701 is Artesia. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Cerritos addresses — Bloomfield Avenue, South Street, 183rd Street, and Towne Center Drive. The street decides the bid.
Text “Cerritos” 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 Cerritos
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at Cerritos 90703 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Towne Center and South Street TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs at Cerritos Towne Center and on South Street when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Bloomfield Avenue and industrial-park interiors
Occupied shops, warehouse offices, and commercial walls on Bloomfield Avenue, Pioneer Boulevard, Carmenita Road, and Artesia Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Cerritos 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 Cerritos Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Towne Center TI, South Street shop, industrial-park office, 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, warehouse offices, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Cerritos 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 |

Cerritos Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Cerritos is an incorporated city in Los Angeles County — not an unincorporated community. City of Cerritos Building and Safety issues permits inside city limits. Street ZIP 90703 is Cerritos. 90701 is Artesia. Area code is 562. Text the street so the bid matches City of Cerritos Building and Safety at 18125 Bloomfield Avenue — not City of Artesia Building, not City of Norwalk Building, and not City of La Mirada Building.
Permits for City of Cerritos addresses run through City of Cerritos Department of Community Development, Building and Safety Division. Office: 18125 Bloomfield Avenue, Cerritos, CA 90703. Community Development: (562) 916-1201. Building and Safety: (562) 916-1209. City Hall: (562) 860-0311. City site is cerritos.gov. A City of Artesia lot uses City of Artesia Building. A City of Norwalk lot uses City of Norwalk Building. A City of La Mirada lot uses City of La Mirada Building and Safety. A City of Lakewood lot uses City of Lakewood Building and Safety. Those are different offices.
Artesia sits in the middle of the map in 90701. Norwalk sits north in 90650. La Mirada sits northeast in 90638. Lakewood sits south. Bellflower sits west. La Palma and Cypress sit east in Orange County. Bloomfield Avenue and 183rd Street meet at City Hall. South Street, Artesia Boulevard, Towne Center Drive, Pioneer Boulevard, Carmenita Road, 166th Street, Alondra Boulevard, and Valley View Avenue fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Cerritos for a city address — not an Artesia permit.
Commercial work sits at Cerritos Towne Center, the Auto Square, and the industrial park. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. Interstate 605 and the 91 change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a Towne Center 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 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.
