Retex Review: Reggie Bates of Richmond, VA

Katelyn Lewis • October 8, 2022

Richmond, VA, homeowner Reggie Bates was scrolling through social media when he first came into contact with Retex Roofing & Exteriors. 

Around the same time, his homeowners’ insurance informed him he would need to replace his roof to keep his coverage. So he decided to give us a call. 


After receiving estimates from several roofing contractors, Reggie chose Retex to replace his roof in August 2021. Here's what he had to say about his experience:


"After talking to Mark and Josh, they just made me feel comfortable with the whole process," Reggie says. “We went over everything, they showed me, you know, everything from step A to step Z, and this just was a phenomenal interaction, so I’m just glad I chose Retex.”


"The whole process was just completely thorough, very transparent – there was nothing hidden. And as you can see, by the results, I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a company that’s true to their word."


Listen to Reggie’s experience using Retex to replace his roof while seeing how it looks today.

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.

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.
