Our Commitment to Northeast Ohio
At The Third Estimate, community isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a commitment woven into everything we do. Whether it’s honoring local heroes through the Think Third Patriot Project or opening doors for women in skilled trades through our BuilderHERS Scholarship, we believe in building more than homes. We build hope, opportunity, and connection.
Explore the causes we care about and meet the incredible people behind the partnerships.
Our Featured Initiatives
These flagship programs represent our most heartfelt commitments. Through annual projects, scholarships, and volunteerism, we proudly invest in the people who inspire us every day.
BuilderHERS Scholarship
Opening Doors for Women in the Trades
We created the BuilderHERS Scholarship to support young women pursuing careers in construction and home improvement — fields where they remain underrepresented. Our annual scholarship helps cover tuition, tools, and mentorship opportunities for aspiring tradeswomen.
Think Third Patriot Project
Providing Free Roofs to Deserving Veterans
Every year, we partner with local communities to nominate and select veterans in need of a roof replacement. The Think Third Patriot Project honors their service with the gift of a safe, lasting roof — installed at no cost to the recipient.
Proudly Partnering With Local Organizations
We’re grateful to stand beside schools, nonprofits, and organizations that serve Northeast Ohio. These partnerships allow us to extend our impact beyond the roofline and into the heart of our communities.

The Third Estimate team worked hard this October to show our support to families affected by Breast Cancer. For each retail roof sold during the month, our Sales team not only made a donation to The Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio, but our office team also took the time to write letters of encouragement. These letters were thoughtfully included in Hope Kits, which the National Breast Cancer Foundation then prepares and sends out to patients, offering them a message of hope and encouragement. Learn more about these inspiring organizations here: Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio and National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc..
October 8th, The Third Estimate team braved the cold and rain at The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo to run in their Securing a Future for Wildlife 5k.
