We’re grateful for a tight-knit, hard-working team. We couldn’t do the work we do without:


– Mark Erickson, Andy Connor, and Chris Spahr providing exterior estimates

– Sean Purcell and Mark Scarpino managing all of our projects and crews

– Iris Hernandez coordinating our repair team and assisting Scarpino

– Our repair teams and other crews doin superior work

– Aaren Davis handling office administration duties

– John Gordon and Caleb Kammerling managing our Richmond and Fredericksburg branches

– Katelyn Lewis navigating our marketing, branding, and media helms

– Josh Lewis taking us all to the next rung above the rest.


We are thankful for a great community to serve, one we love to get to know better with each call, appointment, and interaction throughout the span of our projects. And we’re thankful for Richmond Metropolitan’s Habitat for Humanity, MENO, and Girls on the Run, who we were honored to volunteer with throughout the year.


We’re indebted to our families and friends for their support, encouragement, listening ears, and thoughtful advice as we work to improve and expand our small but mighty business.


Thank you for following us on our RETEX journey. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
