Who We Work With
The Network
One of the most useful things CQI First brings to a project is knowing how to match the work to the people responsible for it. The list matters, but the scope, timing, and working relationship matter more.
We do not pretend every specialty is performed internally. We work through relationships with appropriate trades and professionals, checking credentials where required and establishing responsibility according to the actual project. That same practical standard connects CQI First with Black Cloud Wood & Steel LLC and Broom & Sage Cleaning Co.
Trades We Cover
The Right People
for Every Job
Roof repair, replacement, gutters, flashing, and storm-related exterior work selected according to the property and the actual scope.

How We Choose
How We Vet
Our Network
Relevant Experience
We consider the person or company's experience with the type of work, not merely whether a name appears on a contact list.
Credentials Where Required
Licensing, insurance, permits, and professional responsibility are checked according to the trade, jurisdiction, and role on the project.
Clear Scope and Responsibility
A capable trade cannot succeed against a vague assignment. We work to define what belongs to whom before relying on assumptions.
Communication and Accountability
Working relationships are maintained through clear communication, documented decisions, follow-up, and a willingness to address problems directly.
All Local. All Metro East.
Every professional in our network is based in or around the Metro East — Collinsville, Edwardsville, Maryville, Troy, Glen Carbon, O'Fallon, Fairview Heights, Belleville, Swansea, and Shiloh. No out-of-town crews, no strangers. These are people who live and work in the same communities as our clients — and that matters when something goes wrong and you need someone to answer the phone.
