National Roofing Week: How We Give Back – Richmond's Habitat

Katelyn Lewis • June 7, 2022

Today's Theme for National Roofing Week: Charitable giving.

And man, do we love supporting Richmond's Habitat for Humanity!

retex team


When we first established Retex Roofing & Exteriors as a local roofing and exterior business in Richmond, Virginia, we were firm in our mission to create a company that gives back consistently to its community.


So, the Retex team dedicates one day each month – usually a Friday – to a team volunteer day with Richmond Habitat's Build sites.


Why Habitat for Humanity?


We love their mission to provide housing for local families and their vision for creating a world in which everyone has a decent place to live. They seek to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. And we love the team and home building we get to do along the way.


Learn more about Richmond's Habitat for Humanity here, and let us know if you want to join on our next Habitat Build day on Friday, June 24!
