Before & After: How RETEX Gave This Roof a New Lease on Life

Derrick Tittsworth • August 14, 2025

A roof does more than keep the rain out—it protects your entire home from weather damage, improves curb appeal, and can even boost your home’s value. Over time, though, every roof will show signs of wear and tear.



Recently, our team at RETEX Roofing & Exteriors had the privilege of replacing the roof on this beautiful home. The transformation speaks for itself.

Spotting the Signs of an Aging Roof

Before we started, the homeowner noticed a few red flags:


  • Granules in the gutters and downspouts – a sign shingles are deteriorating.
  • Dark stains across the roof – often caused by algae, but also an indicator of age.
  • Curling shingles at the edges – a symptom of weathering and potential leaks.


These symptoms told us it was time for a full roof replacement.


The RETEX Process


We began by removing the worn shingles and addressing any underlying issues. Our team installed a high-quality roofing system designed for durability and weather resistance. The result? A clean, sharp roof that will protect this home for decades.

Why Timing Matters

Waiting too long to replace an aging roof can lead to expensive water damage and higher energy bills. Addressing problems early keeps your home safe and your costs lower.
