HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Chris Spahr! 🥳

Portrait image of RETEX's Julio Castillo-Marin, who is part of our Repair Team Alpha.

Chris is one of our fantastic exterior experts, helping folks get clear, fair quotes on their roofs, siding, windows, and gutters.


When Chris isn’t helping homeowners with their home exteriors, he enjoys time with his family. He’s a big bird guy – no, not that one – who has built a hummingbird haven in his backyard. His favorite sport is soccer, and he actively follows the U.S. national soccer team, though his favorite team is Manchester United.


Chris, you’re an incredible member of our team and we hope you have a wonderful day celebrating another trip around the sun.


P.S. If you or someone you know lives in the Richmond area and needs help with their roof, siding, windows, or gutters, give us a call at 804-442-3314 to schedule a complimentary appointment with Retex today.
