Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Simi Valley — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies.

Simi Valley Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Los Angeles Avenue storefront. Simi Valley is its own incorporated city in Ventura County. It is not Moorpark and it is not Thousand Oaks. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Simi Valley addresses — with 93063 as the lead ZIP on this page and 93065 on jobs west of First Street — Los Angeles Avenue, Tapo Street, Tapo Canyon Road, First Street, and Yosemite Avenue. It is not Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Chatsworth, or Santa Clarita.
Text “Simi Valley” 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 Simi Valley
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93063 and 93065 City of Simi Valley addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Los Angeles Avenue and Tapo Street TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and medical build-outs on Los Angeles Avenue and Tapo Street when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Tapo Canyon, First Street, and Town Center interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and house walls on Tapo Canyon Road, First Street, Yosemite Avenue, Erringer Road, Madera Road, Cochran Street, Alamo Street, and Royal Avenue.
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 Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Los Angeles Avenue TI, Tapo Street shop, 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 Simi Valley 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 |

Simi Valley Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Simi Valley is an incorporated city in Ventura County. This page leads with 93063 — City Hall and the east side, including the Santa Susana alias. 93065 covers a large share of the west side. There are also Simi Valley PO Box ZIPs 93062 and 93094. Area codes are 805 and 820. Permits for City of Simi Valley addresses run through the City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division, Department of Environmental Services, at 2929 Tapo Canyon Road, Simi Valley, CA 93063. Building & Safety front counter: (805) 583-6723. Planning: (805) 583-6769. Email: enviroservices@simivalley.org. Website: simivalley.org. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Inspection requests received by 4:00 p.m. are performed the next workday; Friday after 4:00 p.m. runs the following Tuesday. Inspectors can be reached about 7:00–8:00 a.m. and 4:00–4:30 p.m. Many permits go through the city’s Customer Self Service portal.

Ventura County RMA Building & Safety is a different office — that is for unincorporated Ventura County land.
Moorpark sits west. Thousand Oaks sits south over the grade. Chatsworth and West Hills sit east in Los Angeles County. Santa Clarita sits northeast. Text the street so the bid matches City of Simi Valley — not Moorpark at 323 Science Drive, not Thousand Oaks, not LA County Building and Safety.
Los Angeles Avenue is the city’s downtown corridor. Tapo Street is the historic Main Street pocket. Tapo Canyon Road, First Street, Yosemite Avenue, Erringer Road, Madera Road, Cochran Street, Alamo Street, Royal Avenue, Sycamore Drive, Kuehner Drive, and Stearns Street show up on a lot of plans. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Los Angeles Avenue 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.

Is this structural steel?

Do Simi Valley houses use metal studs or wood?

Can you frame a shop on Los Angeles Avenue or Tapo Street?

Yes. Floors are protected and the layout is planned around an occupied house or an open shop. A full TI is still a construction job — plan rooms.
