Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Chino, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Chino — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Central Avenue shops, Pipeline Avenue build-outs, downtown Chino interiors, and house remodels in 91710.
Chino Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Central Avenue storefront. Chino is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire — not Chino Hills, not Ontario, and not Montclair. It has its own Building Division at 13220 Central Avenue. A Chino mailing ZIP can still sit outside city limits. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Chino 91710 and 91708 addresses — Central Avenue, Pipeline Avenue, Ramona Avenue, Chino Avenue, Philadelphia Street, and Edison Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Chino” 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 Chino
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Chino 91710 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Central Avenue and downtown TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Central Avenue and downtown Chino when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Pipeline Avenue and Ramona interiors
Retail and shop partitions on Pipeline Avenue, Ramona Avenue, Chino Hills Parkway inside city limits, and Mountain Avenue. Chino Hills sits west — city limits still decide the permit office.
Edison, Kimball, and The Preserve interiors
House and commercial partitions on Edison Avenue, Kimball Avenue, Schaefer Avenue, Euclid Avenue, and south Chino near The Preserve. Occupied houses change the layout — not the stud spec.
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 Chino 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 Chino Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Central Avenue TI, Pipeline Avenue shop, downtown office wall, 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, downtown TIs, warehouse offices, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Chino 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 |

Chino Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Chino is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire. This page uses street ZIP 91710. 91708 is also a Chino ZIP (P.O. Box and some city addresses). Area codes are 909 and 840. Chino Hills uses 91709. Ontario, Montclair, and Pomona sit next door. Text the street so the bid matches City of Chino Building Division — not City of Chino Hills Building, not City of Ontario Building, and not San Bernardino County Building for a county parcel.
Permits for City of Chino addresses run through City of Chino Development Services, Building Division, 13220 Central Avenue, Chino, CA 91710. Building: (909) 334-3251. Inspections: (909) 334-3252. Email: developmentservices@cityofchino.org. City site is cityofchino.org. Unincorporated parcels that only use a Chino mailing ZIP run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services / Building & Safety — a different office.
Chino Hills sits west. Pomona sits northwest. Ontario sits northeast. Montclair sits north. Eastvale sits southeast in Riverside County. Text the street so the bid matches City of Chino for a city address — not a Chino Hills 91709 permit, and not County Building for a city lot.
Commercial work sits on Central Avenue, Pipeline Avenue, Ramona Avenue, Chino Avenue, Philadelphia Street, Edison Avenue, Riverside Drive, Euclid Avenue, Walnut Avenue, and Chino Hills Parkway inside city limits. Occupied houses, open shops, and airport-area offices change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Central Avenue 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.
