Steel / Metal Stud Framing in San Juan Bautista, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in San Juan Bautista — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Third Street shops, Muckelemi Street build-outs, The Alameda interiors, and house remodels in 95045.
San Juan Bautista Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Third Street storefront. San Juan Bautista is an incorporated city in San Benito County west of Hollister. It is not Hollister, not Gilroy, and it is not unincorporated San Benito County. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of San Juan Bautista addresses — with 95045 as the ZIP on this page — Third Street, Second Street, Muckelemi Street, The Alameda, and Fourth Street. A county-road San Juan Bautista mailbox can still be San Benito County Building. The street decides the bid.
Text “San Juan Bautista” 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 San Juan Bautista
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 95045 San Juan Bautista addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Third Street and Muckelemi TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and downtown build-outs on Third Street and Muckelemi Street when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
The Alameda and Fourth Street interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on The Alameda, Fourth Street, Second Street, Mission Street, Monterey Street, and Church Street. Highway 156 runs at the edge of 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 San Juan Bautista 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 San Juan Bautista Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Third Street TI, Muckelemi 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 San Juan Bautista 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 |

San Juan Bautista Streets, ZIP, and Permits
San Juan Bautista is an incorporated city in San Benito County. This page uses ZIP 95045. Area code is 831. 95045 is larger than the city limits and also covers unincorporated San Juan Bautista-area roads. Text the street so the bid matches City of San Juan Bautista — not San Benito County Building on Technology Parkway in Hollister, and not City of Hollister at 339 Fifth Street.
Permits for City of San Juan Bautista addresses run through the City of San Juan Bautista Community Development Department at 311 Second Street, San Juan Bautista, CA 95045. Mail: P.O. Box 1420. Call (831) 623-4661. Building permit technician: ext. 1011. Email: building@sanjuanbautista.ca.gov. Fax: (831) 623-4093. Building counter hours are listed Tuesday–Friday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Planning hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Schedule inspections through the building department at the same number. Downtown and mission-area buildings can sit in a historic district. Interior metal studs are still a building-permit question. Exterior changes on a landmark or contributing building can need a separate historic review. City of Hollister Building is a different office. San Benito County Building & Code Enforcement at 2301 Technology Parkway, Hollister, is a different office. City of Gilroy Building is a different office and a different county.
Hollister sits east. Gilroy sits north in Santa Clara County. Highway 156 is the main approach. Text the street so the bid matches City of San Juan Bautista — not Hollister Fifth Street, not Gilroy, and not a county-road address outside city limits.
Third Street is the downtown commercial spine. Second Street holds City Hall. Muckelemi Street, The Alameda, Fourth Street, Mission Street, Monterey Street, Church Street, San Juan Highway, and San Juan Hollister 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 Third 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.

San Juan Bautista Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in San Juan Bautista?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in San Juan Bautista, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Third Street and Muckelemi TIs, The Alameda interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is San Juan Bautista the same as Hollister or Gilroy?

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 San Juan Bautista houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on Third Street?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and downtown tenant improvements on Third Street and Muckelemi Street are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board. A historic-district exterior change is a separate city review.
