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

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.

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.
