Montebello Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield — not a Whittier Boulevard storefront. Montebello is an incorporated city in Los Angeles County — not East Los Angeles, not Pico Rivera, and not Commerce. It has its own Building & Safety Division at City Hall, 1600 W. Beverly Boulevard. 90640 is the street ZIP for the city. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Montebello 90640 addresses — Whittier Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard, Montebello Boulevard, Garfield Avenue, and Wilcox Avenue. The street decides the bid.
Text “Montebello” 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 Montebello
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in Montebello 90640 addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Whittier Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and commercial build-outs on Whittier Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Beverly Boulevard and City Hall corridor
Retail, medical, and office partitions on Beverly Boulevard near City Hall, Greenwood Avenue, and Maple Avenue. Occupied buildings change the layout — not the stud spec.
Montebello Boulevard and Garfield interiors
Shop, warehouse-office, and tenant walls on Montebello Boulevard, Garfield Avenue, Wilcox Avenue, Olympic Boulevard, and Paramount Boulevard. City limits still decide the permit office.
House remodel and ADU partitions
New interior steel walls inside an existing Montebello 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 Montebello Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Whittier Boulevard TI, Beverly Boulevard shop, Montebello Boulevard 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, Whittier Boulevard TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Montebello 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 |

Montebello Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Montebello is an incorporated city in Los Angeles County — Gateway Cities / San Gabriel Valley edge, about eight miles east of downtown Los Angeles. This page uses street ZIP 90640. 90640 is the only Montebello street ZIP. Area codes are 323, 213, and 738. Nearby Pico Rivera uses 90660. Commerce uses 90040. Monterey Park uses 91754 / 91755. Rosemead uses 91770. East Los Angeles uses 90022. Text the street so the bid matches City of Montebello Building & Safety — not City of Pico Rivera Building, not City of Commerce Building, not City of Monterey Park Building, and not Los Angeles County Building and Safety for an East L.A. or unincorporated parcel.
Permits for City of Montebello addresses run through City of Montebello Planning & Community Development, Building & Safety Division, City Hall, 1600 W. Beverly Boulevard, Montebello, CA 90640 (West Wing). Building & Safety: (323) 887-1497. Permit technician line: (323) 887-1283. Inspector: (323) 887-1458. Counter is Monday–Thursday (closed Friday). City site is montebelloca.gov. East Los Angeles and other unincorporated parcels that only sit next to a Montebello line run through Los Angeles County Building and Safety — a different office.
Monterey Park and Rosemead sit north. Commerce sits south. Pico Rivera sits east across the Rio Hondo. East Los Angeles sits west. State Route 60 (Pomona Freeway) cuts the north side of the city. The street — not the mailing city on a bill — decides the permit office.
Commercial work sits on Whittier Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard, Montebello Boulevard, Garfield Avenue, Wilcox Avenue, Olympic Boulevard, Paramount Boulevard, Greenwood Avenue, Mines Avenue, Telegraph Road, Lincoln Avenue, and Via Campo. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Whittier 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.
