SAFE TO SAY WE KNOW SOMEONE WHOSE HOUSE GETS DOUBLE-TAKES, IN THE BEST WAY!


This North Chesterfield homeowner reached out to RETEX in September 2023 wanting an estimate for her roof after meeting us at Richmond’s Home & Garden Show earlier in the year. 


She was very interested in replacing her shingles with a metal roof, and after RETEX’s Mark Erickson stopped by and discussed her options, she decided to go with a “Gallery Blue” standing seam metal roof. 


Metal roofs, though more expensive upfront than architectural shingles, are more ecologically responsible as they contain recycled metals, have a long lifespan, and can be completely recycled when it’s eventually time to replace them. 


Boost your home’s environmental friendliness and curb appeal with a metal roof from RETEX. Call us at 804-258-6300 to schedule your roof assessment today.

Is It Better To Repair Or Replace Your Home's Siding?

By Katelyn Lewis • June 11, 2025
If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.

How Much Does A Roof Replacement Cost?

By Katelyn Lewis • June 4, 2025
Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.
