The Counter to "Contractors Cut Corners" Trope
Katelyn Lewis • September 6, 2023
There’s a common fear among homeowners that some contractors cut corners or use low-quality materials to save money. And unfortunately we know some who do.
So how does Retex counter the common trope that “contractors cut corners?”
- Quality materials:
We only recommend and use high-quality materials. We understand that quality materials produce quality results, and we want our work to last and our customers to be satisfied.
- Attention to detail:
We pay attention to every detail of the project, ensuring that everything is done correctly and thoroughly to avoid mistakes and unsatisfactory results.
- Professionalism:
We maintain a professional attitude and work ethic by showing up on time, being respectful, and maintaining a clean and safe work area. Doing so helps to ensure that the work is done properly and not rushed.
- Transparent communication: We communicate clearly and openly with you, dear homeowner, providing updates on progress and any issues that arise.
- Warranties and guarantees: We stand behind our work with repair and replacement warranties for our customers. And we don’t mark a project complete until you’re over the moon about it.

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.
Wishing another fantastic year around the sun for Iris Hernandez, our incredible assistant project manager.
