About John Garrett

At Chesapeake Drywall & Acoustics, Inc.(CDA), we focus on providing an unwavering commitment to our customers by leveraging our core competencies to deliver project results that exceed expectations. Our core scope of work includes commercial and industrial metal stud framing and drywall, acoustical ceilings, EIFS, air/weather barriers, and related finishings and enveloping system installations. Working for our customers and alongside our trade partners is a privilege, and we welcome the opportunity to evidence our capabilities. Outside of construction, I\'m passionate about our local community with the goal to help make it an ever-improving place to live, work, play, and raise a family. I\'m privileged to serve the Elizabeth River Trail Foundation (Vice Chair), Norfolk Economic Development Authority (Director), the Maury Foundation (Director), and the Maison Fortune Orphanage Foundation (Director). Through my career and community involvement, I was fortunate to be recognized as a 2017 Inside Business Top 40 Under 40 and a 2019 CoVA Business Magazine Millennial on the Move.
