Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Fontana, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Fontana — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies.

Fontana Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Sierra Avenue storefront. Fontana is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire — not Bloomington, not Rialto, and not Rancho Cucamonga. It has its own Building & Safety office at 8353 Sierra Avenue. A Fontana mailing ZIP can still sit outside city limits. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Fontana 92335, 92336, and 92337 addresses — Sierra Avenue, Valley Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard, Cherry Avenue, Citrus Avenue, and Baseline Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Fontana” 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 Fontana
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Fontana 92335 / 92336 / 92337 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Sierra Avenue and downtown TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Sierra Avenue and downtown Fontana when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Valley Boulevard and I-10 interiors
Retail, warehouse-office, and shop partitions on Valley Boulevard, Jurupa Avenue, Santa Ana Avenue, and Cherry Avenue. Bloomington and Rialto sit on the edges — city limits still decide the permit office.
Foothill Boulevard and north Fontana interiors
House and commercial walls on Foothill Boulevard / Historic Route 66, Baseline Avenue, Citrus Avenue, Summit Avenue, and north Fontana 92336. 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 Fontana 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 Fontana Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Sierra Avenue TI, Valley Boulevard shop, Foothill Boulevard commercial 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, warehouse offices, downtown TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Fontana 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 |

Fontana Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Fontana is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire. This page uses street ZIPs 92335, 92336, and 92337. 92331 and 92334 are Fontana P.O. Box ZIPs. Area codes are 909 and 840. Portions of 92335 also touch Bloomington and Rialto mailing edges. Text the street so the bid matches City of Fontana Building & Safety — not City of Rialto Building, not City of Rancho Cucamonga Building, and not San Bernardino County Building for a county parcel.
Permits for City of Fontana addresses run through City of Fontana Building & Safety Department, 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92335. Building: (909) 350-7640. Online portal is Build Fontana at build.fontanaca.gov. City site is fontanaca.gov. Unincorporated parcels that only use a Fontana mailing ZIP run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services / Building & Safety — a different office.
Rialto sits east. Bloomington sits south and east. Rancho Cucamonga sits west. Ontario sits southwest. Jurupa Valley sits south. I-10, I-15, and SR-210 cut the city. Text the street so the bid matches City of Fontana for a city address — not a Bloomington 92316 County permit, and not County Building for a city lot.
Commercial work sits on Sierra Avenue, Valley Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard, Cherry Avenue, Citrus Avenue, Baseline Avenue, Jurupa Avenue, Santa Ana Avenue, Cypress Avenue, and Summit Avenue. Occupied houses, open shops, and warehouse offices change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Sierra 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.
