Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Seaside, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Seaside — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Broadway Avenue shops, Fremont Boulevard build-outs, Del Monte interiors, and house remodels in 93955.
Seaside Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Broadway storefront. Seaside is an incorporated city in Monterey County on the Monterey Peninsula. It is not Monterey, not Marina, and it is not Sand City. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Seaside addresses — with 93955 as the ZIP on this page — Broadway Avenue, Fremont Boulevard, Del Monte Boulevard, Harcourt Avenue, and General Jim Moore Boulevard. Portions of 93955 also touch Marina and Sand City. The street decides the bid.
Text “Seaside” 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 Seaside
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93955 Seaside addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Broadway and Fremont TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and storefront build-outs on Broadway Avenue and Fremont Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Del Monte and General Jim Moore interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on Del Monte Boulevard, General Jim Moore Boulevard, Harcourt Avenue, Hilby Avenue, Gigling Road, Noche Buena Street, and Ortiz Avenue. Fremont continues toward Monterey and Marina — 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 Seaside 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 Seaside Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Broadway TI, Fremont 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 Seaside 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 |

Seaside Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Seaside is an incorporated city in Monterey County. This page uses ZIP 93955. Area code is 831. Portions of 93955 also touch Marina and Sand City. Text the street so the bid matches City of Seaside — not Sand City Hall and not City of Marina Building. Unincorporated Monterey County is a different permit office.
Permits for City of Seaside addresses run through the City of Seaside Building & Code Enforcement Department at 440 Harcourt Avenue, Seaside, CA 93955. Call (831) 899-6825. Email: building@ci.seaside.ca.us. Apply in person at the permits counter or email the application and plans. Inspection scheduling: (831) 899-6723 or the city’s online inspection request form. Call at least 24 hours ahead. Inspections are by appointment Monday–Friday. City of Monterey Building is a different office. City of Marina 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.
Monterey sits southwest. Sand City sits on the west edge along Del Monte. Marina sits north. Del Rey Oaks sits south. Pacific Grove and Carmel sit farther west on the peninsula. CSUMB and former Fort Ord streets sit against the city — a campus facility and a City of Seaside street address are not the same permit path. Text the street so the bid matches City of Seaside — not Monterey City Hall, not Marina, and not Sand City.
Broadway Avenue is the historic commercial spine. Fremont Boulevard and Del Monte Boulevard carry most of the commercial traffic. Harcourt Avenue, Hilby Avenue, General Jim Moore Boulevard, Gigling Road, Noche Buena Street, Ortiz Avenue, Olympia Avenue, and Trinity Avenue 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 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.

Is this structural steel?

Do Seaside houses use metal studs or wood?
