Our Story

25 years ago, Marek Ahlsten saw a need on the Sunshine Coast for restoration services. In 1999, he started First Response, and since then has committed to the highest quality and standards in restoration and reconstruction—with each and every project. DKI First Response has served over 5000 home and business owners since 1999, from Langdale to Earls Cove. Our company and services continues to expand, as we strive to serve the Sunshine Coast with the highest level of service, skill and equipment.
