How We Give Back: Retex's Community Involvement 2024

Katelyn Lewis • December 3, 2024

When we first established Retex as a local roofing and home exterior business, we were firm in our mission to create a company that gives back to its community.


With that in mind, we committed to volunteering once a month with Richmond’s Habitat for Humanity.

Since then, we’ve expanded our community outreach, through continued monthly volunteer days with Habitat, MENO, and Girls On The Run as well as through Owens Corning’s Roof for a Vet program this year. While we don't all make it to the job sites every month, at least one team member volunteers each month and we try to get everyone together at least once a quarter.


We love being a part of the Greater Richmond community and being able to help locally. We hope to do even more next year. Thank you for being a part of our RETEX community.
