Roof Replacement in Chester, VA –Owens Corning "Teak" – Roof For A Veteran

Katelyn Lewis • September 20, 2024

See our Roof for a Veteran campaign in-action in today’s Finished Roof Friday!

This Chester homeowner was nominated for our Roof for a Veteran campaign in August 2023. Put simply, we work with Owens Corning through their Roof Deployment Project to provide a free roof for a local veteran in need. Owens Corning provides the materials and we provide the installation labor, and a local veteran gets a brand new roof at no charge.


After meeting with Retex’s Mark Erickson and discussing the condition of his roof and his military service background, we submitted an application on Mr. Billiter’s behalf to Owens Corning’s Roof Deployment Program.


Two days before Veterans Day 2023, we installed an Owens Corning Duration “Teak” asphalt shingle roof * for free * for Mr. BIlliter. 


If you or someone you know is a U.S. veteran in need of a new roof, but who maybe can’t afford it, please reach out to us about our Roof For a Veteran program, We are accepting nominations for this year’s Veterans Day install through September 30. 


Go to retexroofing.com/veteran to submit your nomination today.
