Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Montclair — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Holt Boulevard shops, Central Avenue build-outs, Montclair Place interiors, and house remodels in 91763.
Montclair Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Holt Boulevard storefront. Montclair is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire — not Ontario, not Pomona, and not Upland. It has its own Building Division at 5111 Benito Street. A Montclair mailing ZIP can still sit outside city limits. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Montclair 91763 addresses — Holt Boulevard, Central Avenue, Mission Boulevard, Monte Vista Avenue, Ramona Avenue, and Montclair Place. The street decides the bid.
Text “Montclair” 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 Montclair
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Montclair 91763 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Holt Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Holt Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Central Avenue and Montclair Place interiors
Retail and shop partitions on Central Avenue, Montclair Place, and Arrow Highway. Ontario sits east — city limits still decide the permit office.
Mission Boulevard and house interiors
House and shop walls on Mission Boulevard, Monte Vista Avenue, Ramona Avenue, and San Bernardino Avenue. Occupied houses change the layout — not the stud spec.
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 Montclair 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 Montclair Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Holt Boulevard TI, Central Avenue shop, Montclair Place 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, mall TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Montclair 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 |

Montclair Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Montclair is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County — Inland Empire, on the Los Angeles County line. This page uses street ZIP 91763. Area codes are 909 and 840. Text the street so the bid matches City of Montclair Building Division — not City of Ontario Building, not City of Pomona Building, and not City of Upland Building.
Permits for City of Montclair addresses run through City of Montclair Community Development Department, Building Division, 5111 Benito Street, Montclair, CA 91763. Building Official: (909) 625-9437. Community Development: (909) 625-9477. Inspection hotline: (909) 625-9448. City site is cityofmontclair.org. Unincorporated parcels that only use a Montclair mailing ZIP run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services / Building & Safety — a different office.
Pomona sits west in Los Angeles County. Claremont and Upland sit north. Ontario sits east. Chino sits south. I-10 cuts the north side of the city. Text the street so the bid matches City of Montclair for a 91763 city address — not an Ontario 91761 / 91762 / 91764 permit, and not a Pomona 91766 / 91767 permit.
Commercial work sits on Holt Boulevard, Central Avenue, Mission Boulevard, Monte Vista Avenue, Ramona Avenue, Arrow Highway, and Montclair Place. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Holt 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.
