Steel / Metal Stud Framing in King City, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in King City — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Broadway Street shops, Vanderhurst Avenue build-outs, Canal Street interiors, and house remodels in 93930.
King City Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Broadway Street storefront. King City is an incorporated city in the southern Salinas Valley, Monterey County, on U.S. 101 south of Greenfield. It is not Greenfield, not Soledad, and it is not San Lucas. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of King City addresses — with 93930 as the ZIP on this page — Broadway Street, Vanderhurst Avenue, Canal Street, First Street, and San Lorenzo Avenue. A county-road King City mailbox can still be unincorporated Monterey County. The street decides the bid.
Text “King City” 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 King City
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93930 King City addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Broadway Street and Vanderhurst TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and downtown build-outs on Broadway Street and Vanderhurst Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Canal Street and First Street interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on Canal Street, First Street, San Lorenzo Avenue, 3rd Street, Metz Road, and Airport Road. U.S. 101 exits at Broadway and First Street — 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 King 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 King City Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Broadway Street TI, Canal 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 King City 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 |

King City Streets, ZIP, and Permits
King City is an incorporated city in Monterey County. This page uses ZIP 93930. Area code is 831. 93930 is larger than the city limits and also covers unincorporated King City-area roads. Text the street so the bid matches City of King City — not Monterey County Building in Salinas, and not Greenfield City Hall.
Permits for City of King City addresses run through the City of King City Building & Safety Department at 212 South Vanderhurst Avenue, King City, CA 93930. Call (831) 385-3281. Building counter appointments: (831) 386-5925. Chief Building Official: (831) 386-5915. Fax: (831) 385-6887. Hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed holidays.

Greenfield sits north on U.S. 101. Soledad sits farther north. San Lucas sits south. Text the street so the bid matches City of King City — not Greenfield El Camino Real, not Soledad Main Street, and not a county-road address outside city limits.
Broadway Street is the historic downtown spine and the old highway. Vanderhurst Avenue holds City Hall. Canal Street, First Street, San Lorenzo Avenue, 3rd Street, Metz Road, Airport Road, Industrial Way, and Bitterwater Road 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 Broadway 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.
