Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Lompoc, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Lompoc — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: H Street downtown build-outs, Ocean Avenue shops, North H Street interiors, and house remodels in 93436.
Lompoc Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not an H Street storefront. Lompoc is an incorporated city in northern Santa Barbara County on Highway 1 and Highway 246. It is not Vandenberg Village, not Santa Maria, and it is not Vandenberg Space Force Base. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Lompoc addresses — with 93436 as the street ZIP on this page — H Street, Ocean Avenue, Central Avenue, and North H Street. A Lompoc mailbox can still be Santa Barbara County Building or a 93437 base address. The street decides the bid.
Text “Lompoc” 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 Lompoc
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93436 Lompoc addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
H Street and Ocean Avenue TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and downtown mural-district build-outs on H Street and Ocean Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
North H Street and Central Avenue interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on North H Street, Central Avenue, Laurel Avenue, and Civic Center Plaza. Vandenberg Village sits north — 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 Lompoc 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 Lompoc Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | H Street TI, Ocean Avenue shop, North H Street commercial wall, 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, downtown TIs, Highway 1 corridor interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Lompoc 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 |

Lompoc Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Lompoc is an incorporated city in northern Santa Barbara County. This page uses street ZIP 93436. 93438 is the Lompoc P.O. Box ZIP. 93437 covers Vandenberg Space Force Base and nearby industrial land. Area codes are 805 and 820. Vandenberg Village and Mission Hills use 93436 but sit outside city limits. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lompoc — not Santa Barbara County Building at 123 E. Anacamu Street, not City of Santa Maria Building, and not a base address that only uses a Lompoc mailing ZIP.
Permits for City of Lompoc addresses run through the City of Lompoc Building and Safety Division, 100 Civic Center Plaza, Lompoc, CA 93436. Call (805) 875-8220 for Building. Inspection requests: (805) 875-8231 or the city permit portal. Email building@ci.lompoc.ca.us. City Hall main line is (805) 736-1261. Santa Barbara County Building at 123 E. Anacamu Street is a different office. City of Santa Maria Building is a different office. City of Buellton Building is a different office.
Vandenberg Village and Mission Hills sit north. Vandenberg Space Force Base sits west. Santa Maria sits north on Highway 1. Buellton and Solvang sit east on Highway 246. Text the street so the bid matches City of Lompoc — not a county counter in Santa Barbara, not a Santa Maria desk, and not a Village address that only uses a Lompoc mailing ZIP.
Downtown Lompoc sits on H Street and Ocean Avenue. North H Street, Central Avenue, Laurel Avenue, Chestnut Avenue, and Civic Center Plaza are the usual side streets. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating an H 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.

Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Lompoc, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, H Street and Ocean Avenue TIs, North H Street interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Lompoc the same as Vandenberg Village or Santa Maria?

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 Lompoc houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on H Street or Ocean Avenue?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and downtown mural-district tenant improvements on H Street, Ocean Avenue, North H Street, and Central Avenue are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
