Steel / Metal Stud Framing in Ventura, CA
Light-gauge steel and metal stud framing in Ventura — interior partitions, tenant-improvement walls, soffits, and fire-rated assemblies.

Ventura Framing From the Fairfield Shop
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not a Main Street storefront. The official city name is San Buenaventura. This page is City of Ventura — not Oxnard and not unincorporated Saticoy. Steel / metal stud framing at City of Ventura addresses, with 93001 as the lead ZIP on this page and 93003 / 93004 on midtown and east-side jobs — Main Street, Thompson Boulevard, California Street, Ventura Avenue, and Victoria Avenue. It is not Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Saticoy, Santa Paula, or Ojai.
Text “Ventura” 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 Ventura
Interior partition walls
Track, studs, and bracing for new rooms, office layouts, and non-load-bearing walls in 93001, 93003, and 93004 City of Ventura addresses. This is the skeleton the board hangs on.
Main Street and Thompson Boulevard TIs
Shop, restaurant, office, and medical build-outs on Main Street and Thompson Boulevard when the drawing says steel studs. If the plan names metal, that is the bid. Commercial framing →
California Street, Ventura Avenue, and Victoria interiors
Shop partitions, office interiors, and house walls on California Street, Ventura Avenue, Victoria Avenue, Telegraph Road, Harbor Boulevard, Seaward Avenue, and Telephone Road.
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 Ventura 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 Ventura Job
| Stud | Use it when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|
| Light-gauge metal (what we frame) | Main Street TI, Thompson Boulevard 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 Ventura 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 |

Ventura Streets, ZIP, and Permits
Ventura is an incorporated city in Ventura County. The official name is San Buenaventura. This page leads with 93001 — downtown, the west side, and a wide coastal ZIP. 93003 covers midtown. 93004 covers east Ventura. There are also Ventura PO Box ZIPs 93002, 93005, 93006, and 93007. Area codes are 805 and 820. Permits for City of Ventura addresses run through City of Ventura Permit Services / Building & Safety at 501 Poli Street, Room 117, Ventura, CA 93001. Call (805) 654-7869. Inspection request line: (805) 654-7874. Email: permits@cityofventura.ca.gov. Website: cityofventura.ca.gov. Public counter hours are Monday–Thursday 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. walk-in and 1:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m. by appointment. Closed every Friday. Inspections run about 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. on open City days. Request the inspection by 5:00 p.m. the prior business day through Ventura OPS. The city requires a City of Ventura business license for anyone conducting business inside city limits, including subcontractors. Ventura County RMA Building & Safety at the Government Center, 800 S Victoria Avenue, is a different office — that is for unincorporated Ventura County land.
Oxnard sits south and east. Saticoy is unincorporated. Santa Paula sits farther east. Ojai and Oak View sit north. Port Hueneme sits farther south. Text the street so the bid matches City of Ventura — not Oxnard at 214 South C Street, not Ventura County RMA, not Santa Paula at 200 S 10th Street.
Main Street and California Street carry a lot of the downtown work. Thompson Boulevard, Poli Street, Ventura Avenue, Victoria Avenue, Telegraph Road, Harbor Boulevard, Seaward Avenue, Telephone Road, and Kimball Road 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 Main 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.

Ventura Metal Stud FAQs
Do you do steel / metal stud framing in Ventura?
Yes. Interior light-gauge metal stud framing in Ventura, CA from our Fairfield shop — partitions, Main Street and Thompson Boulevard TIs, California Street interiors, house walls, soffits, heavier-gauge spec walls, and frame-and-hang.
Is Ventura the same as Oxnard or Saticoy?
No. The City of Ventura (San Buenaventura) is its own incorporated city. Oxnard sits south and east. Saticoy is unincorporated.

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 Ventura houses use metal studs or wood?
Most house walls here are still wood. Metal wins on Main Street TIs, Thompson Boulevard shops, rated partitions, and remodels that need a straighter plane for a smooth finish. If the drawing names the stud, that wins.
Can you frame a shop on Main Street or Thompson Boulevard?
Yes. Occupied retail, restaurant, office, and medical tenant improvements on Main Street, Thompson Boulevard, and California Street are a usual request — new partitions, soffits, and backing, then hang if the scope includes board.
Do you work occupied Ventura buildings?
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.
Is Ventura the same as Ojai or Santa Paula?
No. Ojai and Oak View sit north. Santa Paula sits east. Text the street so the bid matches City of Ventura.
