Ricketts Estimating & Project Services was founded by Andre Ricketts, a Senior Project Manager & Estimator with over 15 years of experience in the property restoration and construction industry.
Andre has worked on thousands of insurance claims across water, fire, wind, mould, and large-loss rebuilds, managing projects from emergency response to reconstruction and closeout.
After seeing contractors struggle with claim backlogs, under-scoped estimates, and constant pressure from adjusters, Andre created Ricketts Estimating to give restoration and roofing companies a reliable, senior-level virtual estimator they can call on anytime.
Today, Ricketts Estimating supports contractors and adjusters across Canada as a dedicated remote estimating and consulting partner, helping them stay ahead of files, protect margins, and keep projects moving.
If you’re buried in files or short an estimator, send us a current claim or ask about your workflow. We’ll review it and get back to you within one business day with options and next steps.
