Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Culver City, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Culver City — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Downtown Culver shops, Washington Boulevard studio and arts-district interiors, Hayden Tract offices, and Fox Hills suites. A downtown TI and a Palms mailing address are not the same city hall.
Culver City Framing, Fairfield Crew

Metal Stud Work We Do in Culver City
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 90230 and 90232. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Retail, restaurant, and office build-outs on Culver Boulevard, Main Street, and Washington Boulevard. If the drawing says steel studs, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Studio, arts, and Hayden Tract interiors
Creative-office partitions, production suites, and rated walls near Sony Pictures, the Arts District, Helms, Platform, and the Hayden Tract.
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.
Remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Culver City 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 Culver City Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Downtown TI, Washington Boulevard studio interiors, Hayden Tract offices, Fox Hills suites, rated commercial walls, or a remodel that needs a flat plane for Level 4 / Level 5 | You need beams, columns, or building structure that hold the roof 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, production corridors, door-heavy restaurant TI, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Culver City house walls in Studio Village, Culver West, and Carlson Park with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete or block walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Downtown vs Washington vs Hayden Tract
Culver City is an incorporated Westside city — ZIPs 90230 and 90232 (90231 and 90233 are P.O. boxes) — surrounded on most sides by Los Angeles. It is not Palms, Mar Vista, Playa Vista, or Westchester. ZIP 90066 is usually Mar Vista. ZIP 90034 is usually Palms. A Culver City mailing address can still sit in the City of Los Angeles. Permits inside city limits run through the City of Culver City Building Safety Division at 9770 Culver Boulevard. Text the street so we bid the right desk.
Downtown is Culver Boulevard, Main Street, and Town Plaza — restaurants, the Culver Hotel, and civic buildings. Washington Boulevard carries the studio lot, the Arts District, and West Washington offices. Helms sits on Venice Boulevard. Platform and Ivy Station sit on the Metro E Line at National. The Hayden Tract is the old industrial / creative-office pocket between National Boulevard and Ballona Creek. Fox Hills and Westfield Culver City sit against the 405 and the 90. Most houses are in Studio Village, Culver West, Carlson Park, and the Culver Crest streets — not a foothill city.
The usual mismatch is treating a Washington Boulevard tenant wall like a bedroom 2×4 — or hanging a production-suite finish on a house plane that only needed wood hang-only. Interior metal studs do not hold a studio building up. Occupied houses, open shops, and running office floors 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.

Culver City Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Culver City?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Culver City, CA 90230 and 90232 from our Fairfield shop — partitions, TI walls, studio and Hayden Tract interiors, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Culver City the same as Palms or Mar Vista?
No. Culver City is its own incorporated city. Palms is usually 90034. Mar Vista is usually 90066. Both are Los Angeles. A Culver City mailing address can still sit in the City of Los Angeles — text the street so we bid the right permit desk.
Is this structural steel?
No. We frame interior light-gauge studs, track, headers, and soffits. Beams, columns, and building structure that hold the roof up are a different contractor.
Do Culver City houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on commercial TI, studio and creative-office interiors, rated partitions, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop downtown or a suite on Washington?
Yes. Occupied retail and restaurant TIs on Culver Boulevard and Main Street, studio and arts-district interiors on Washington Boulevard, and Hayden Tract offices are a usual request.
Do you work occupied Culver City buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house, an open shop, or an after-hours office floor. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
Do you work Culver, Washington, Venice, and Fox Hills?
Yes. Culver Boulevard, Washington Boulevard, Venice Boulevard, Overland Avenue, Sepulveda Boulevard, Jefferson Boulevard, and National Boulevard are on the same framing page. Text the street with the photos.
How much does metal stud framing cost in Culver City?
It follows the gauge, wall height, how cut-up the layout is, fire rating, access, and whether we only frame or also hang and finish. Photos or plans first. Written scope — no hidden fees.
Are you licensed in California?
Yes. CSLB #265709. Look it up before you book us or anyone else.
