What We Do
Our Services
CQI First brings storm-response and construction experience together for residential, commercial, emergency, and planned work. The service is not one-size-fits-all. We begin with what is happening, what the owner needs to accomplish, and which responsibilities belong with CQI First, a trade partner, or another professional.
Storm Damage & Emergency Response
Start with what happened. Then determine what comes next.
- Tree removal and debris coordination
- Visible-condition documentation
- Temporary weather protection
- Roof, siding, and window repair coordination
- Repair scope and recovery planning
Ethan brings 25 years of tree and storm-response experience across the Metro East. CQI First can help assess visible property conditions, coordinate immediate tree and weather-protection work, define the construction scope, and organize the repairs that follow. Construction documentation may be shared with the owner and appropriate insurance professionals without presenting CQI First as a public adjuster.

- Room additions and expansions
- Full gut renovations
- Basement finishing

Kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, basement finishes, and larger renovations all involve more than a list of finishes. We help connect the owner's objective to the existing conditions, scope, budget, sequence, trade responsibilities, and likely effect on the property.

Clear responsibility matters more as the project grows.
- Office and retail buildouts
- Light industrial construction
- Tenant improvements
- Commercial remodeling
- Project management and oversight
CQI First considers selected office, retail, light-industrial, mixed-use, and property-improvement projects. The emphasis is practical: define the work, identify professional and trade responsibilities, coordinate decisions, and keep the project record connected to the work.

Not sure where to start? That's exactly where we come in.
- Pre-project site assessment
- Scope and budget development
- Contractor vetting and referrals
- Ongoing project oversight

Sometimes the useful first step is not a proposal. It is an experienced review of the property, the objective, the available information, and the decision in front of you. CQI First can help define scope, review estimates, coordinate professionals and trades, and manage responsibility throughout the project.
