History

C. J. Coakley Co., Inc. has completed countless projects in the greater Washington D.C. area over the past six decades. Our founder, Cornelius Coakley, was a plasterer by trade and as such, wanted to create a business that could provide the highest quality plasterwork in the area. Since 1962, we have continued to bring our standard of high-quality work to new disciplines of interior and exterior construction. The company grew into a major interior contractor providing walls and ceilings on some of the most iconic projects in the area. We also provide swing stages, mast climbers, scaffolding of all types, hoists, trash chutes, and trucking services. More recently, CJC has grown into a full-service exterior contractor, providing prefabricated exterior walls, air barriers, and rainscreen facades.

Safety

C. J. Coakley Co., Inc. has fostered and nurtured a deep-rooted culture of safety that originated in our company's earliest stages. From the very beginning, safety-conscious work practices have served as a fundamental aspect of all our operations.

As a testament to our dedication, we provide comprehensive training, cutting-edge tools, and state-of-the-art equipment, all of which contribute to creating a safe working environment. Our dedication to safety is not just theoretical; it manifests in tangible metrics, such as our exceptional Experience Modification Rate. This rating is not just a number for us; it's a testament to our unwavering focus on ensuring that every project we undertake is completed with the utmost attention to safety.
