Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Jenner, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Jenner — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Highway 1 shops, river-mouth cottages, Goat Rock interiors, and house remodels in 95450.
Jenner Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Highway 1 storefront. Jenner — also called Jenner-by-the-Sea — is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County at the mouth of the Russian River. It is not Bodega Bay and it is not Guerneville. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Jenner addresses — with 95450 as the ZIP on this page — Highway 1, Highway 116, Goat Rock Road, and Meyers Grade Road. It is not Duncan’s Mills, Monte Rio, or Occidental.
Text “Jenner” 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 Jenner
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95450 Jenner addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Highway 1 and inn TIs
Shop, restaurant, inn, and office build-outs on Highway 1 when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Goat Rock, 116, and grade-road interiors
Cottage partitions and house walls on Goat Rock Road, Highway 116, Meyers Grade Road, Muniz Ranch Road, Ninive Drive, and Willig Drive.
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.
Cottage remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Jenner 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 Jenner Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Highway 1 TI, inn remodel, rated walls, or a finish 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, inn TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Jenner 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 |

Jenner Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Jenner is not an incorporated city. It is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County at the mouth of the Russian River. This page uses ZIP 95450. Area code is 707. Permits for Jenner / 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 Sebastopol Building is a different office. City of Santa Rosa Building is a different office.
Jenner sits in the Coastal Zone. Planning review and sometimes coastal development review sit next to the building permit. We frame the interior walls after the owner and designer have the approvals. We do not issue planning or coastal permits.
Bodega Bay sits south on 94923. Duncan’s Mills sits inland on 95430. Guerneville sits farther inland on 95446. Monte Rio sits on 95462. Cazadero sits inland on 95421. Occidental sits inland on 95465. Highway 1 is the coast road. Highway 116 / River Road meets Highway 1 at the river mouth. Text the street so the bid matches Jenner — not Bodega Bay, not Guerneville, not Duncan’s Mills.
Highway 1 is the commercial spine. Goat Rock Road, Highway 116, Meyers Grade Road, Muniz Ranch Road, Ninive Drive, and Willig Drive show up on a lot of plans. Occupied cottages and open inns change the layout — not the stud spec. Wind, fog, and the river-mouth grade change the schedule more than the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Highway 1 tenant wall like a bedroom 2×4 — or hanging a Level 5 commercial finish on cottage 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.

Jenner Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Jenner?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Jenner, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Highway 1 TIs, Goat Rock interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.

Is this structural steel?

Do Jenner houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop or inn on Highway 1?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, inn, and cottage tenant improvements on Highway 1 are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Jenner buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house or an open inn. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
