Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Lawndale, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Lawndale — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Hawthorne Boulevard shops, Rosecrans Avenue build-outs, Marine Avenue interiors, and house remodels in 90260.
Lawndale Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — not a Hawthorne Boulevard storefront. Lawndale is an incorporated South Bay city in Los Angeles County — the Heart of the South Bay — not Hawthorne, not Redondo Beach, and not Torrance. It has its own Building and Safety Division at City Hall, 14717 Burin Avenue. 90260 is the street ZIP. 90261 is the PO Box ZIP. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Lawndale 90260 addresses — Hawthorne Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, and Marine Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Lawndale” 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 Lawndale
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Lawndale 90260 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Hawthorne Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Hawthorne Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Rosecrans and Marine Avenue interiors
Retail, medical, and office partitions on Rosecrans Avenue, Marine Avenue, and Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Inglewood Avenue and Prairie Avenue walls
Shop and tenant walls on Inglewood Avenue, Prairie Avenue, and Redondo Beach Boulevard when the lot is City of Lawndale. Hawthorne sits north — city limits still decide the permit office.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Lawndale 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 Lawndale Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Hawthorne Boulevard TI, Rosecrans Avenue shop, Marine Avenue remodel, 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, Hawthorne Boulevard TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Lawndale house walls with no commercial spec | The plan already says steel, or the finish will show every bow |
| Furring / hat channel on masonry | Concrete, brick, or masonry walls that need a cavity for boxes before drywall | Glue-only board on a finished living space |

Lawndale Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Lawndale is an incorporated South Bay city in Los Angeles County — the Heart of the South Bay, about six miles southeast of LAX. This page uses street ZIP 90260. 90261 is the PO Box ZIP. Area codes are 310 and 424. Nearby Hawthorne uses 90250. Redondo Beach uses 90277 / 90278. Torrance uses 90501–90505. Unincorporated El Camino Village / Alondra Park uses 90249 / 90260 overlap on some mailing lines. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lawndale Building and Safety — not City of Hawthorne Building and Safety, not City of Redondo Beach Building and Safety, not City of Torrance Building and Safety, and not Los Angeles County Building and Safety for Alondra Park.
Permits for City of Lawndale addresses run through City of Lawndale Community Development, Building and Safety Division, City Hall, 14717 Burin Avenue, Lawndale, CA 90260. Building and Safety: (310) 973-3236. Inspections: (310) 973-3237. Community Development: (310) 973-3230. City site is lawndale.ca.gov. Work in the public right-of-way is Public Works at 4722 Manhattan Beach Boulevard — a different counter.
Hawthorne sits north. Redondo Beach sits west and southwest. Torrance sits southeast. Unincorporated El Camino Village / Alondra Park sits east. I-405 cuts the east side. Hawthorne Boulevard (SR-107) is the north-south spine. Rosecrans Avenue, Marine Avenue, and Manhattan Beach Boulevard run east-west. Redondo Beach Boulevard is the south edge. The street — not the mailing city on a bill — decides the permit office.
Commercial work sits on Hawthorne Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, Marine Avenue, Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Inglewood Avenue, Prairie Avenue, and Redondo Beach Boulevard. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Hawthorne Boulevard 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.
