Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Marina, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Marina — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Reservation Road shops, Del Monte Boulevard build-outs, Imjin Parkway interiors, and house remodels in 93933.
Marina Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Reservation Road storefront. Marina is an incorporated city in Monterey County on Highway 1, north of Seaside. It is not Seaside, not Sand City, and it is not Monterey. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Marina addresses — with 93933 as the ZIP on this page — Reservation Road, Del Monte Boulevard, Imjin Parkway, Carmel Avenue, and Cypress Avenue. CSUMB and former Fort Ord streets sit against the city. The street decides the bid.
Text “Marina” 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 Marina
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93933 Marina addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Reservation Road and Del Monte TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and storefront build-outs on Reservation Road and Del Monte Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Imjin Parkway and Marina Heights interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on Imjin Parkway, Imjin Road, Carmel Avenue, Reindollar Avenue, California Avenue, Abrams Drive, and Marina Heights Drive. Highway 1 and Reservation Road continue toward Seaside and Castroville — 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 Marina 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 Marina Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Reservation Road TI, Del Monte 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 Marina 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 |

Marina Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Marina is an incorporated city in Monterey County. This page uses ZIP 93933. Area code is 831. Seaside next door uses 93955. Text the street so the bid matches City of Marina — not Seaside City Hall on Harcourt Avenue and not Sand City. Unincorporated Monterey County is a different permit office.
Permits for City of Marina addresses run through the City of Marina Building Division, Community Development. The Permit Center / One Stop Development Center is at 209 Cypress Avenue, Marina, CA 93933. City Hall mailing address is 211 Hillcrest Avenue, Marina, CA 93933. Call Building at (831) 884-1214. Inspections: (831) 884-1241. Email: inspections@cityofmarina.org. Apply through the city’s online permitting portal or at the Cypress Avenue counter. Inspections are by appointment Monday–Friday and must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead — AM 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or PM 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. City of Seaside Building is a different office. City of Monterey Building is a different office. City of Sand City Building is a different office. Monterey County Housing and Community Development Building Services is a different office.
Seaside sits south. Sand City sits southwest along the bay. Monterey sits farther southwest. Salinas sits east. Castroville sits north. Highway 1 splits the west side. CSUMB and former Fort Ord streets sit against the city — a campus facility and a City of Marina street address are not the same permit path. Text the street so the bid matches City of Marina — not Seaside Harcourt Avenue, not Monterey City Hall, and not Sand City.
Reservation Road is the main commercial spine. Del Monte Boulevard and Imjin Parkway carry a lot of shop and office traffic. Carmel Avenue, Reindollar Avenue, California Avenue, Cypress Avenue, Hillcrest Avenue, Palm Avenue, Salinas Avenue, Abrams Drive, and Marina Heights Drive 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 Reservation 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.

Marina Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Marina?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Marina, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Reservation Road and Del Monte TIs, Imjin Parkway interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Marina the same as Seaside, Sand City, or Monterey?
No. Marina is an incorporated city in Monterey County. Seaside sits south. Sand City sits southwest. Monterey sits farther southwest. Building permits for this page run through the City of Marina Building Division at 209 Cypress Avenue — not Seaside Harcourt Avenue, not Monterey City Hall, and not Sand City.
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 Marina houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on Reservation Road?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and storefront tenant improvements on Reservation Road and Del Monte Boulevard are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Marina 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 CSUMB the same as the City of Marina for this page?
