Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Soledad, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Soledad — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Main Street shops, Front Street interiors, Gabilan Drive houses, and 93960 city-limit remodels.
Soledad Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Main Street storefront. Soledad is its own incorporated city in Monterey County. It is not Greenfield and it is not Gonzales. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Soledad addresses — with 93960 as the ZIP on this page — Main Street, Front Street, Monterey Street, and Gabilan Drive. It is not Salinas, King City, or unincorporated valley land that only uses a Soledad mailbox.
Text “Soledad” 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 Soledad
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93960 City of Soledad addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Main Street and Front Street TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and retail build-outs on Main Street and Front Street when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Gabilan, Monterey, and Palm interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on Gabilan Drive, Monterey Street, Palm Avenue, Vosti Avenue, Prado Drive, Market Street, and Los Coches Road inside city limits.
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 Soledad 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 Soledad Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, Front 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 Soledad 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 |

Soledad Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Soledad is an incorporated city in Monterey County. This page uses ZIP 93960. Area code is 831. 93960 is a large ZIP — it covers the city and a lot of unincorporated valley land around it. Text the street so the bid matches City of Soledad — not Monterey County Building. Permits for City of Soledad addresses run through Building & Safety / Community & Economic Development at City Hall, 248 Main Street, Soledad, CA 93960. Call (831) 223-5041. Main city line: (831) 223-5000. Email: buildingpermits@cityofsoledad.com. Apply through the city’s SmartGov portal. Public Works / encroachment: (831) 223-5176. Website: cityofsoledad.com. Monterey County Building at 1441 Schilling Place in Salinas is a different office. City of Greenfield Building is a different office. City of Gonzales Building is a different office.
Gonzales sits north on 93926. Greenfield sits south on 93927. King City sits farther south on 93930. Salinas sits farther north on 93901. Highway 101 is the spine. Text the street so the bid matches City of Soledad — not Greenfield, not Gonzales, not Monterey County Building.
Main Street and Front Street are the commercial spine. Monterey Street, Palm Avenue, Gabilan Drive, Vosti Avenue, Prado Drive, Market Street, and Los Coches 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 Main 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.

Soledad Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Soledad?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Soledad, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Main Street and Front Street TIs, Gabilan Drive interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Soledad the same as Greenfield or Gonzales?

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 Soledad houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Main Street TIs, Front Street shops, rated partitions, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop on Main Street?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and shop-building tenant improvements on Main Street and Front Street are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Soledad 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 Soledad the same as Salinas or King City?
No. Salinas sits farther north on 93901. King City sits farther south on 93930. Text the street so the bid matches City of Soledad.

How much does metal stud framing cost in Soledad?
It follows the gauge, wall height, how cut-up the layout is, fire rating, access, and whether we only frame or also hang and finish. Photos or plans first. Written scope — no hidden fees.
