Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in North Hills — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Sepulveda Boulevard shops, Nordhoff Street interiors, Plummer Street build-outs, and house remodels in 91343.
North Hills Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Sepulveda Boulevard storefront. North Hills is not its own city. It is a San Fernando Valley neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles. Older mail still says Sepulveda. This page is steel / metal stud framing at North Hills 91343 addresses — Sepulveda Boulevard, Nordhoff Street, Plummer Street, and Lassen Street. It is not Northridge, Panorama City, Mission Hills, or Granada Hills.
Text “North Hills” 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. The street decides the bid.
Metal Stud Work We Do in North Hills
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 91343. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Tenant improvement framing
Sepulveda Boulevard shop, medical-office, and small commercial build-outs when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Sepulveda, Nordhoff, and Plummer interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and retail walls on Sepulveda Boulevard, Nordhoff Street, Plummer Street, Lassen Street, and Roscoe Boulevard.
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 North Hills 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 North Hills Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Sepulveda TI, medical-office interiors, 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, shop TIs, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most North Hills 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 |

North Hills Streets, ZIP, and Permits
North Hills is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. The postal ZIP on this page is 91343. 91393 is a North Hills P.O. Box. Older mail still says Sepulveda. Area codes are 818 and 747. Permits run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. The Valley desk is the Van Nuys District Office at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, 2nd Floor, Room 251, Van Nuys, CA 91401. Call 311 inside the city, or (213) 473-3231 from outside. Text the street so the bid matches North Hills — not Northridge, Panorama City, or Mission Hills.
Sepulveda Boulevard is the main north-south commercial spine. Nordhoff Street, Plummer Street, Lassen Street, Roscoe Boulevard, Woodley Avenue, and Haskell Avenue show up on a lot of plans. I-405 splits North Hills West from North Hills East. Occupied houses and open Sepulveda shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Sepulveda 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 a house 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.
