Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Hollister, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Hollister — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: San Benito Street shops, Fifth Street build-outs, McCray Street interiors, and house remodels in 95023.
Hollister Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a San Benito Street storefront. Hollister is an incorporated city and the county seat of San Benito County. It is not San Juan Bautista, not Gilroy, and it is not unincorporated San Benito County. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Hollister addresses — with 95023 as the ZIP on this page — San Benito Street, Fifth Street, Fourth Street, McCray Street, and Tres Pinos Road. A Hollister mailbox on a county road can still be San Benito County Building. The street decides the bid.
Text “Hollister” 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 Hollister
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95023 Hollister addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
San Benito Street and Fifth Street TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and downtown build-outs on San Benito Street and Fifth Street when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
McCray Street and Tres Pinos Road interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on McCray Street, Tres Pinos Road, Fourth Street, San Felipe Road, Nash Road, and Industrial Drive. Highway 25 and Highway 156 run through town — 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 Hollister 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 Hollister Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | San Benito Street TI, Fifth Street 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Hollister 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 |

Hollister Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Hollister is an incorporated city in San Benito County. This page uses ZIP 95023. Area code is 831. 95023 is larger than the city limits and also covers Ridgemark, Tres Pinos, and unincorporated San Benito County roads. Text the street so the bid matches City of Hollister — not San Benito County Building on Technology Parkway, and not San Juan Bautista City Hall.
Permits for City of Hollister addresses run through the City of Hollister Community Development Department, Building Division, at 339 Fifth Street, Hollister, CA 95023, in the Old City Hall building. Call (831) 636-4355. Email: building@hollister.ca.gov or permitcenter@hollister.ca.gov. Planning: (831) 636-4360. Engineering: (831) 636-4340. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Schedule a Permit Center appointment when you can. Walk-ins are accepted; appointments get priority. City of San Juan Bautista Building is a different office. San Benito County Building & Code Enforcement at 2301 Technology Parkway is a different office. City of Gilroy Building is a different office and a different county.
San Juan Bautista sits west. Gilroy sits north in Santa Clara County. Tres Pinos and Ridgemark sit south and southeast. Highway 25 and Highway 156 run through town. Highway 152 / Pacheco Pass sits north. Text the street so the bid matches City of Hollister — not San Juan Bautista, not Gilroy, and not a county-road address outside city limits.
San Benito Street is the downtown commercial spine. Fifth Street holds the Permit Center. Fourth Street, McCray Street, Tres Pinos Road, San Felipe Road, Nash Road, Industrial Drive, Bert Drive, and Airline Highway 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 San Benito Street 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.
