Retex Habitat Volunteer Day – June 2023
Katelyn Lewis • June 26, 2023
On Friday, Retex’s John Gordon, Josh and Katelyn Lewis joined our friends from Lock & Key Realty to volunteer with Richmond’s Habitat for Humanity on a new build off Terminal Ave.
We got pre-e-e-tty comfortable hanging sheetrock, splitting into two teams of four to finish the drywall for the two upstairs bedrooms.
This new construction home is being sponsored by Lock & Key’s brokerage River Fox Realty, and helping out was a great way to spend a rainy day!
We love our monthly volunteer days, especially with our friends, as we give back to our local community. Meanwhile, if you’re a homeowner in need of help with your home’s exteriors, give us a call – 804-258-6300 – to schedule an appointment today.
It depends. Read the scenarios in which we recommend homeowners invest in gutter guards for their homes.
Today’s Finished Roof Friday comes with a homeowner tip: Always check your home exterior contractor’s license before moving forward with any work or deposit.
Unfortunately there are folks out there more concerned with a quick sale than with helping you with your home exteriors.
This Midlothian homeowner originally reached out to Retex in October 2023 for a roof repair for a leak in her kitchen as well as a roof replacement estimate. RETEX’s Andy Connor met with her, gave her both quotes, and we repaired her roof. She reached back out to Andy in March 2024, ready to move forward with RETEX on replacing her roof.
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.
Bryan Rizo serves on our Repair Team Alpha. Alongside Julio, Bryan repairs shingle roofs and installs small flat TPO roofs on homes across Richmond and Fredericksburg. He’s been with RETEX for three years, and we’re blessed to have him on board.
Montpelier homeowner Patrick Fadden reached out to RETEX in January for an estimate for replacing his home's roof and windows.
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.
This story began in April 2022, when a neighbor with many hats – a fellow Surreywoodian, a local pastor, and owner of an auto mechanic shop – reached out to RETEX’s Josh Lewis and Mark Erickson to assess his church’s roof and siding after experiencing hail damage.
We are thankful for the soldiers and their families who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country today and everyday. We admire your strength, courage, humility, and perseverance to fight on the frontlines.
