La Mirada 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 La Mirada Boulevard storefront. La Mirada is an incorporated city in southeast Los Angeles County. It is a Gateway City. It is not Whittier, not La Habra, not Cerritos, and not Santa Fe Springs. Street ZIP 90638 is La Mirada. PO boxes use 90637. Biola University uses 90639. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of La Mirada addresses — La Mirada Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Rosecrans Avenue, and Beach Boulevard. The street decides the bid.
Text “La Mirada” 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 La Mirada
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls at La Mirada 90638 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Imperial Highway and La Mirada Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Imperial Highway and La Mirada Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Rosecrans Avenue interiors
Occupied shops, medical suites, and commercial walls on Rosecrans Avenue, Beach Boulevard, Biola Avenue, and Valley View Avenue. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
House remodel partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing La Mirada 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 a La Mirada Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Imperial Highway TI, La Mirada 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 La Mirada 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 |

La Mirada Streets, ZIP, and Permits
La Mirada is an incorporated city in Los Angeles County — not an unincorporated community. Street ZIP 90638 is La Mirada. PO boxes use 90637. Biola University uses 90639. Area codes are 562 and 714 / 657. Text the street so the bid matches City of La Mirada at 13700 La Mirada Boulevard — not City of Whittier Building, not City of La Habra Building, and not City of Santa Fe Springs Building.
Permits for City of La Mirada addresses are processed at the Building & Safety counter in City Hall, 13700 La Mirada Boulevard, La Mirada, CA 90638. Call (562) 943-0131. Building Department is (562) 902-2347. City site is cityoflamirada.org. The city contracts with Los Angeles County Building and Safety for plan check and inspection. County plan-check offices include the South Whittier District office at 13523 East Telegraph Road, Whittier, and the County Central office at 900 South Fremont Avenue, Alhambra. That is still a La Mirada permit — not a City of Whittier permit and not LADBS in Van Nuys.
Whittier and South Whittier sit north. Santa Fe Springs sits west in 90670. Cerritos sits southwest in 90703. Norwalk sits west in 90650. La Habra sits east in Orange County with ZIP 90631. Buena Park sits south. La Mirada Boulevard and Imperial Highway are the main commercial pair. Rosecrans Avenue, Beach Boulevard, Biola Avenue, Valley View Avenue, Santa Gertrudes Avenue, and Leffingwell Road fill in the grid. Text the street so the bid matches City of La Mirada for a city address — not a Whittier or Orange County permit.
Commercial work sits on Imperial Highway, La Mirada Boulevard, and Rosecrans Avenue. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec. Interstate 5 and Beach Boulevard traffic change the schedule.
The usual mismatch is treating a La Mirada Boulevard 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.
