Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Pismo Beach, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Pismo Beach — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Price Street downtown build-outs, Dolliver Street shops, Shell Beach Road interiors, and house remodels in 93449.
Pismo Beach Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Price Street storefront. Pismo Beach is an incorporated city in coastal San Luis Obispo County on Highway 101 and Highway 1. Shell Beach is a neighborhood inside Pismo Beach — not a separate city. It is not Grover Beach, not Arroyo Grande, and it is not Oceano. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Pismo Beach addresses — with 93449 as the street ZIP on this page — Price Street, Dolliver Street, Pomeroy Avenue, Shell Beach Road, and Five Cities Drive. A county-road Pismo mailbox can still be San Luis Obispo County Building. The street decides the bid.
Text “Pismo” 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 Pismo Beach
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93449 Pismo Beach addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Price Street and Dolliver TIs
Shop, restaurant, hotel, office, and downtown pier-district build-outs on Price Street, Dolliver Street, and Pomeroy Avenue when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Shell Beach Road and Five Cities interiors
Shop partitions and house walls on Shell Beach Road, Five Cities Drive, Mattie Road, Cypress Street, and Spyglass Drive. Shell Beach is still City of Pismo Beach — the city line with Grover Beach 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 Pismo Beach 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 Pismo Beach Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Price Street TI, Dolliver Street shop, Shell Beach Road 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, hotel TIs, Highway 101 corridor interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Pismo Beach 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 |

Pismo Beach Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Pismo Beach is an incorporated city in coastal San Luis Obispo County. This page uses street ZIP 93449. 93448 is the Pismo Beach P.O. Box ZIP. Area codes are 805 and 820. Shell Beach is inside Pismo Beach city limits. Text the street so the bid matches City of Pismo Beach — not City of Grover Beach Building, not City of Arroyo Grande Building, not an unincorporated Oceano address, and not San Luis Obispo County Building and Planning in San Luis Obispo.
Permits for City of Pismo Beach addresses run through the City of Pismo Beach Building Division, 760 Mattie Road, Pismo Beach, CA 93449. Call (805) 773-7040 for Building. Inspection requests: (805) 773-7045. Planning questions: permits@pismobeach.org. City Hall sits on Mattie Road, not on the pier. City of Grover Beach Building is a different office. City of Arroyo Grande Building is a different office. San Luis Obispo County Building and Planning is a different office.
Grover Beach sits south. Arroyo Grande sits southeast. Oceano sits farther south. Avila Beach sits north. Text the street so the bid matches City of Pismo Beach — not a Grover Beach desk, not an Arroyo Grande counter, and not a county-road address that only uses a Pismo Beach mailing ZIP.
Downtown Pismo Beach sits on Price Street, Dolliver Street (Highway 1), Pomeroy Avenue at the pier, Cypress Street, Hinds Avenue, Stimson Avenue, and Bello Street. Shell Beach Road and Spyglass Drive cover the Shell Beach neighborhood. Five Cities Drive and Oak Park Boulevard sit near the Grover Beach line. Occupied houses, hotels, and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Price 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.

Pismo Beach Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Pismo Beach?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Pismo Beach, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Price Street and Dolliver Street TIs, Shell Beach Road interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Pismo Beach the same as Grover Beach or Shell Beach?

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 Pismo Beach houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on Price Street or Dolliver?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, hotel, office, and pier-district tenant improvements on Price Street, Dolliver Street, Pomeroy Avenue, and Shell Beach Road are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
