Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Inglewood, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Inglewood — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: downtown Market Street shops, Manchester Boulevard interiors, and house remodels in 90301, 90302, 90303, and 90305.
Inglewood Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — a Southern California run, not a Market Street storefront. Inglewood is an incorporated city in southwest Los Angeles County. It is a South Bay city. It is not Hawthorne, not Lennox, and not the City of Los Angeles. Street ZIPs 90301, 90302, 90303, and 90305 are Inglewood. 90304 often covers Lennox even when the mail says Inglewood. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Inglewood addresses — Manchester Boulevard, Market Street, Century Boulevard, and Prairie Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Inglewood” 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 Inglewood
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at Inglewood 90301–90303 and 90305 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Market Street and Manchester Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs downtown when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Century Boulevard and Prairie Avenue interiors
Occupied shops, office suites, and commercial walls near Century Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, La Brea Avenue, and Crenshaw Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Inglewood house when the finish needs a straighter plane than bowed lumber. Wood structure stays wood unless the plan says otherwise. Metal vs wood →
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.
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 an Inglewood Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Market Street TI, Manchester Boulevard shop, rated walls, or a finish 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 Inglewood 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 |

Inglewood Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Inglewood is an incorporated city in Los Angeles County — not an unincorporated community. City of Inglewood Building Safety issues permits inside city limits. Street ZIPs 90301, 90302, 90303, and 90305 are Inglewood. 90301 covers downtown and City Hall. 90304 often covers Lennox even when the mail says Inglewood. PO boxes use 90306 through 90312. Area codes are 310 and 424. Text the street so the bid matches City of Inglewood Building Safety at One West Manchester Boulevard — not City of Hawthorne Building, not Los Angeles County Building and Safety for a Lennox lot, and not LADBS for a Westchester lot.
Permits for City of Inglewood addresses run through City of Inglewood Development Services, Building Safety Division. Office: One West Manchester Boulevard, 4th Floor, Inglewood, CA 90301. Call (310) 412-5294. Planning is (310) 412-5230. Email buildingsafety@cityofinglewood.org. City site is cityofinglewood.org. A City of Hawthorne lot uses City of Hawthorne Building and Safety. An unincorporated Lennox lot uses Los Angeles County Building and Safety. A City of Los Angeles lot in Westchester uses LADBS. Those are different offices.
Hawthorne sits south in 90250. Lennox sits southwest in 90304. Westchester and Los Angeles International Airport sit west in the City of Los Angeles. Ladera Heights and View Park–Windsor Hills sit north as unincorporated county. Downtown clusters on Market Street and Manchester Boulevard. Century Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, La Brea Avenue, Crenshaw Boulevard, Florence Avenue, Imperial Highway, and Centinela Avenue fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of Inglewood for a city address — not a Lennox or Hawthorne permit.
Commercial work sits downtown and on Century Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, and Crenshaw Boulevard. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. The 405, the 105, and airport traffic change the schedule. Interior metal studs in a shop near the entertainment district are still partitions — not stadium structure.
The usual mismatch is treating a Market Street shop 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 Inglewood a city?

Is this structural steel?
No. We frame interior light-gauge studs, track, headers, and soffits. Beams, columns, and structure that hold a building or a stadium up are a different contractor.
Do Inglewood houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Market Street and Manchester Boulevard TIs, Century Boulevard commercial walls, rated walls, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop downtown or on Century Boulevard?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and commercial tenant improvements on Market Street, Manchester Boulevard, Century Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, and Crenshaw Boulevard are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Inglewood buildings?
Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house or an open shop. The 405, the 105, and airport traffic change the schedule — not the stud spec.
