In loving memory of Ron Estrin

October 28, 1943 – November 25, 2021
Co-founder, mentor, friend

Ron Estrin began working in construction in 1962. In 1987, he met Eric Hinds, and in 1996 they started Estrin-Hinds together. Ron was a mentor, a born leader, and an excellent contractor. Their friendship remains the foundation of this company’s lasting belief that partnership, community, and quality are essential to the success of any project.

“It takes a village to build something beautiful.”

Thank you, Ron, for inspiring this village to this day.
