Trade Partners
Built on Trusted Relationships
Every project we take on is backed by a carefully vetted network of skilled tradesmen and craftsmen. We don’t work with just anyone — we work with the best. Our trade partners share our commitment to quality, reliability, and doing things the right way.
A Network Built Over Decades
Over a lifetime in construction, I have built relationships with tradesmen and craftsmen who hold themselves to the same standards we do. These are not names pulled from a directory — they are people I have worked alongside, trusted on job sites, and seen deliver exceptional results under pressure.
When Black Cloud Wood & Steel takes on a project, our trade partners become an extension of our team. Their work reflects our name, and we hold that standard seriously. Every partner in our network has been evaluated for skill, professionalism, and integrity.
That network extends through CQI First — a joint venture Mike D. co-founded last year alongside Ethan, who brings 25 years of tree and storm work. Black Cloud Wood & Steel is the construction backbone of that partnership. Together, CQI First covers storm damage, new construction, remodeling, roofing, and commercial projects across Collinsville, IL and the Metro East. Learn more at cqifirst.com.
