Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@rickettsestimating.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 We work with contractors, homeowners, and overseas property owners who need estimating support, quote review, scope analysis, or owner-side repair guidance.


Our services are designed to support:


  • restoration and roofing contractors 
  • homeowners reviewing estimates or repair quotes 
  • overseas property owners managing projects from a distance 


Yes.


Homeowners can hire us for:


  • contractor quote review 
  • insurance estimate review 
  • scope comparison 
  • change-order review 
  • remote second-opinion support 


All work is completed remotely using the documents, photos, and information provided.


Yes.


We provide remote owner-side review and advisory support for overseas property owners who need help reviewing contractor quotes, comparing bids, assessing payment requests, and making more informed repair decisions from abroad.


Generally, no.


Ricketts Estimating & Project Services is structured primarily as a remote estimating, review, and advisory service. Most services are completed using your photos, quotes, notes, measurements, and supporting documentation.


If a site visit is ever considered, it would need to be discussed and agreed separately in writing.


The process is simple:


  1. You send your documents, photos, quotes, estimates, or project details 
  2. We review the information and confirm the service needed 
  3. We prepare the estimate, review, or written observations 
  4. You move forward with more clarity and confidence 


You can learn more on our Process page.


That depends on the service, but helpful documents may include:


  • photos or video of the affected areas 
  • contractor quotes or bids 
  • insurance estimates 
  • scope notes and measurements 
  • floor plans, if available 
  • change orders or payment requests 
  • deadlines or specific concerns you want reviewed 


If something important is missing, we will let you know before moving forward.


Most standard files are completed within 48–72 business hours once complete documentation is received.


Larger, more complex, or multi-document reviews may require more time. If so, we will confirm the expected timeline before starting.


Rush options may be available depending on workload.


Pricing depends on the service type, property size, number of documents, and review complexity.


We provide pricing for:


  • For Contractors 
  • For Homeowners 
  • Overseas Property Owners 


Visit the relevant service page or our Pricing page for starting rates.


We are based in Ontario, Canada and work remotely across Canada.


We also support select international clients where remote estimating, review, or owner-side advisory service is appropriate.


Where appropriate, services include one round of minor revisions or clarification based on the original scope submitted.


If the scope changes significantly or the file becomes much larger than originally provided, any additional fee would be discussed before proceeding.


You can send documents through:


  • the contact form on our website 
  • email 
  • secure file-sharing link, where applicable 


When reaching out, include a short summary of what you need help with so we can direct you to the right service.


Yes.


We treat client files and project information as strictly confidential and only use your documents for the purpose of providing the requested estimate, review, or advisory support.


We are also happy to sign a simple NDA if required.
