Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Fulton, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Fulton — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Fulton Road shops, River Road interiors, and house remodels in 95439.
Fulton Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Fulton Road storefront. Fulton is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County, just north of Santa Rosa city limits. It is not the City of Santa Rosa and it is not the Town of Windsor. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Fulton addresses — with 95439 as the ZIP on this page — Fulton Road, River Road, and Highway 101-side shops. It is not Santa Rosa, Windsor, or Larkfield-Wikiup city work.
Text “Fulton” 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 Fulton
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95439 Fulton addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Fulton Road and River Road TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, winery-support, and warehouse build-outs on Fulton Road and River Road when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Highway 101-side and house interiors
Shop partitions and house walls near the River Road / Highway 101 interchange, Wood Road, and other unincorporated Fulton addresses. Fulton Road continues into Santa Rosa — the city line still decides the permit office.
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 Fulton 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 Fulton Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Fulton Road TI, River Road 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, warehouse TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Fulton 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 |

Fulton Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Fulton is not an incorporated city. It is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County. This page uses ZIP 95439. Area code is 707. Some Fulton-area addresses sit next to Santa Rosa ZIP 95403. Text the street so the bid matches unincorporated Fulton — not City of Santa Rosa Building. Permits for Fulton / unincorporated Sonoma County addresses run through Permit Sonoma at 2550 Ventura Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. Call (707) 565-1900. Email: PermitSonoma@sonomacounty.gov. Apply through Permits Online. Inspection scheduling: (707) 565-1900, option 3, or the automated line at (707) 565-3551. City of Santa Rosa Building is a different office. Town of Windsor Building is a different office. City of Sebastopol Building is a different office.
Santa Rosa sits immediately south. Windsor sits north. Larkfield-Wikiup sits east of Highway 101. Sebastopol sits southwest. Fulton Road continues into Santa Rosa city limits — the city line still decides the permit office. Text the street so the bid matches unincorporated Fulton — not Santa Rosa City Hall and not Windsor Town Hall.
Fulton Road and River Road are the spine. The Highway 101 / River Road interchange, Wood Road, and nearby county addresses 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 Fulton Road 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.

Fulton Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Fulton?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Fulton, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Fulton Road and River Road TIs, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Fulton the same as Santa Rosa or Windsor?
No. Fulton is unincorporated Sonoma County. Santa Rosa sits immediately south and has its own city building department. Windsor sits north and has its own town building department. Building permits for this page run through Permit Sonoma at 2550 Ventura Avenue — not Santa Rosa City Hall and not Windsor Town Hall.
Is this structural steel?
No. We frame interior light-gauge studs, track, headers, and soffits. Beams, columns, and structure that hold the building up are a different contractor.
Do Fulton houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Fulton Road TIs, River Road shops, 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 on Fulton Road?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, winery-support, and warehouse tenant improvements on Fulton Road and River Road are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board. Confirm the address is unincorporated Fulton, not the Santa Rosa stretch of Fulton Road.
Do you work occupied Fulton buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house or an open shop. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
Is Fulton the same as Larkfield-Wikiup or Sebastopol?
No. Larkfield-Wikiup sits east of Highway 101. Sebastopol sits southwest and has its own city building department. Text the street so the bid matches Fulton.

What ZIP does this Fulton page cover?

How much does metal stud framing cost in Fulton?
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. Work in unincorporated Fulton uses Permit Sonoma — not a Santa Rosa, Windsor, or Sebastopol city permit.
