Metal Stud Framing in New Rochelle, NY

New Rochelle Drywall Pros frames the light-gauge and structural metal stud assemblies that commercial interiors are built on. Straight, plumb framing set to the wall-type legend is what lets the finished board hang flat and hold across long commercial runs, so we treat the framing scope as the foundation of a clean job. We lay out partition, demising, shaft, and corridor walls to plan, size the stud gauge and spacing to the specified assembly, and detail the head-of-wall and bracing to structure above. Every wall is set true to spec before a single panel goes up.

Light-Gauge and Structural Framing

We frame non-load-bearing light-gauge partitions as well as heavier structural stud walls where the drawings call for load-bearing or exterior-wall framing. Stud gauge, depth, and spacing are set to the assembly and the wall height so deflection and stiffness meet the spec rather than a default. Non-combustible steel framing stays straight and dimensionally stable, which keeps the finished drywall plane true over the life of the space.

Partition, Demising, and Shaft Walls

Commercial layouts are defined by their walls, so we frame tenant partitions, unit and suite demising walls, and elevator and mechanical shaft walls to the exact wall types on the plan. Shaft walls get C-H stud framing to receive shaftliner panels, and demising walls are framed full-height to structure where the assembly requires. Correct layout here is what keeps the finished floor plate matching the approved drawings.

Deflection Track and Head-of-Wall

Full-height walls that meet a deck or structure above have to accommodate structural movement without cracking the finish or breaking a rated joint. We install slotted deflection track and detail the head-of-wall condition per the assembly, including rated firestop head-of-wall where the wall is fire-rated. Getting this connection right is what carries a rated partition through inspection and keeps the finish from cracking under deflection.

Bracing, Backing, and Coordination

We brace tall and freestanding walls to the structure, install in-wall backing and blocking for casework, grab bars, monitors, and wall-hung fixtures per the equipment schedule, and coordinate our framing with the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in. Laying in blocking during framing rather than chasing it later keeps the other trades moving. The result is a framed shell that is ready for board and ready for the fixtures the tenant will hang on it.

Frequently Asked

Do you frame structural as well as non-load-bearing metal stud walls?
Yes. We frame non-load-bearing light-gauge partitions and heavier structural stud assemblies where the drawings call for load-bearing or exterior framing. Stud gauge, depth, and spacing are set to the specified assembly and wall height rather than a default.
How do you handle full-height walls that meet the deck above?
We install slotted deflection track and detail the head-of-wall to the assembly so the wall can absorb structural movement without cracking the finish. On rated walls we use the specified firestop head-of-wall detail so the joint holds its listed rating.
Can you frame shaft walls to receive shaftliner?
Yes. We frame C-H stud shaft-wall assemblies to accept shaftliner panels for elevator, stair, and mechanical shafts, built to the UL-listed assembly and the required fire rating.
