Retex Volunteer Day with MENO – July 2023

We came, we saw(ed), we conquered. 💪🪵

Retex Team

On July 14, seven members of the Retex team headed all the way to Cumberland, VA, to spend the day bundling firewood for MENO.


MENO is a nonprofit organization that helps adults who struggle with substance use disorders by providing them with residential housing, meaningful work, and an accountable and affirming community, all in an atmosphere of peace and joy. 


As part of the project, MENO has a sawmill that will provide work for its future residents as well as volunteers. And in four hours, we were able to put together 150 bundles of firewood that MENO will sell to Bear Creek State Park.


We love being a part of the Greater Richmond community, and we really enjoy our volunteer days every month where we get to give back and bond with the team simultaneously.


Need help with your home exteriors? Call Retex today at 804-258-6300 to schedule a no-pressure, no-cost appointment.

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.

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.
