Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Solana Beach, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Solana Beach — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Cedros Avenue shops, Highway 101 build-outs, Lomas Santa Fe Drive interiors, and house remodels in 92075.
Solana Beach Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Cedros Avenue storefront. Solana Beach is an incorporated coastal city in San Diego County. It is not Del Mar, not Encinitas, and it is not unincorporated Rancho Santa Fe. A mailbox that says Solana Beach can still sit next to a Del Mar 92014 block. This page is steel / metal stud framing at City of Solana Beach addresses — with 92075 as the street ZIP on this page — Highway 101, Cedros Avenue, Lomas Santa Fe Drive, and Via de la Valle. The street decides the bid.
Text “Solana Beach” 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 Solana Beach
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 92075 Solana Beach addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Cedros Avenue and Highway 101 TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and Design District build-outs on Cedros Avenue and Highway 101 when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Lomas Santa Fe Drive interiors
Shop partitions and office walls on Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Via de la Valle, and Stevens Avenue. Del Mar and Encinitas sit on the edges — the city line 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 Solana 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 Solana Beach Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Cedros Avenue TI, Highway 101 shop, Lomas Santa Fe Drive 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, Design District TIs, Via de la Valle interiors, or engineer notes | A simple closet that never needed the extra gauge |
| Wood studs | Most Solana 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 |

Solana Beach Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Solana Beach is an incorporated coastal city in San Diego County. This page uses street ZIP 92075. Area code is 858. Nearby Del Mar uses 92014. Text the street so the bid matches City of Solana Beach Building — not City of Del Mar Building, not City of Encinitas Building, and not San Diego County Planning & Development Services.
Permits for City of Solana Beach addresses run through the City of Solana Beach Building Permit Counter, Community Development, 635 S. Highway 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Call (858) 720-4450 for the counter and (858) 720-4455 for inspections. Email Counter@cosb.org. Use eTRAKiT for many applications. Hours are Monday–Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and alternate Fridays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. City of Del Mar Building is a different office. City of Encinitas Building is a different office. San Diego County Building Services is a different office.
Del Mar sits south. Encinitas sits north. Rancho Santa Fe sits east. Text the street so the bid matches City of Solana Beach — not a 92014 Del Mar block and not a County address that only uses a Solana Beach mailing ZIP.
The Design District sits on Cedros Avenue and Highway 101. Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Via de la Valle, Stevens Avenue, and Solana Hills Drive are the usual commercial approaches. Occupied houses and open shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Cedros 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.
