“We built Estimate Rocket to work as hard as our customers do.”
I’m Tom Droste, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Estimate Rocket. From day one, our goal has been to create software that empowers trade and specialty contractors to compete, grow, and succeed without the complexity and cost of enterprise systems.
Drawing on decades of experience in software development and business systems, we engineered Estimate Rocket to be powerful, intuitive, and scalable. Every capability was designed to solve real operational challenges contractors face every day.
Today, our commitment remains unchanged: deliver world-class software, exceptional customer support, and continuous innovation that helps our customers build stronger businesses and lasting legacies.
Founder & CTO
Technology designed specifically for contractors.
The Problem
For years, trade and specialty contractors were forced to rely on disconnected software, spreadsheets, and generic business tools that weren’t built for the realities of estimating, scheduling, production, and job costing.
The Mission
In 2015, Estimate Rocket was founded with a clear mission: create an affordable, contractor-first platform that helps businesses streamline operations, improve professionalism, and scale sustainably.
The Approach
Every feature was developed through direct collaboration with contractors in the field—ensuring the platform remains intuitive, practical, and aligned with real-world workflows.
