Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Tarzana, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Tarzana — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies. We frame the wall so the drywall stays flat: Ventura Boulevard shops, Reseda Boulevard interiors, Tampa Avenue build-outs, and house remodels in 91356.
Tarzana Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Ventura Boulevard storefront. Tarzana is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood in the West San Fernando Valley — not its own city. This page is steel / metal stud framing at Tarzana 91356 addresses — Ventura Boulevard, Reseda Boulevard, Tampa Avenue, and Wilbur Avenue. It is not Encino, Woodland Hills, or Reseda.
Text “Tarzana” 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 Tarzana
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 91356. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Ventura Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, medical, and office build-outs on Ventura Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
Reseda, Tampa, and Wilbur interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and house walls on Reseda Boulevard, Tampa Avenue, Wilbur Avenue, Victory Boulevard, and Vanalden 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 Tarzana house — flats north of Ventura or the hills to the south — 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 Tarzana Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Ventura Boulevard TI, medical suite, 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 Tarzana 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 |

Tarzana Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Tarzana is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood in the West San Fernando Valley. The postal ZIP on this page is 91356. 91357 is a Tarzana P.O. Box. Area codes are 818 and 747. Permits run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. The Valley office is 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, 2nd Floor, Room 251, Van Nuys, CA 91401. Call 311 in the city, or (213) 473-3231 from outside. This is not a Tarzana city hall. Text the street so the bid matches Tarzana — not Encino, Woodland Hills, or Reseda.
Ventura Boulevard is the commercial spine. Reseda Boulevard, Tampa Avenue, Wilbur Avenue, and Victory Boulevard show up on a lot of plans. The flats sit north of Ventura. The hills sit south toward the Santa Monica Mountains. Occupied houses and open Ventura shops change the layout — not the stud spec.
The usual mismatch is treating a Ventura 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.
