Please enjoy today’s Finished Roof Friday!

This Midlothian homeowner was looking to either repair or replace her roof after one of her two skylights started to leak. Off a coworker’s recommendation, she reached out to RETEX in January 2024 and met with RETEX’s Mark Erickson. After discussing the condition of her roof and the process for removing and shingling over the faulty skylight, she chose RETEX to replace her roof with Owens Corning Duration “Midnight Plum” shingles in February 2024.

Enhance your home’s exteriors with RETEX so you can enjoy your summer without a leaky roof hanging over your head. Call us today at 804-442-3314.

Are gutter guards worth it? It depends.

We recommend gutter guards for homeowners:
• Whose homes are surrounded by trees
• Who aren’t excited about climbing a ladder twice a year
• Who want to prevent clogged gutters and related water damage

Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters, preventing moisture-related rot and rust. But it’s important to note that gutter guards aren’t maintenance-free. You’ll have to keep the guards clear of debris, and if you pick a cheap or poorly-installed guard, it can clog, sag, or even make things worse by causing water overflow.

Thinking about adding gutter guards to your home? We’re happy to check your setup and see if it’s worth the investment. Call us at 804-442-3314 to schedule a free estimate with one of our awesome exterior experts.

Thanks so much for your review, Amelia!

Amelia Wehunt reached out to RETEX in August 2025 for an estimate for three separate properties. For her Farmville house, she wanted an estimate for replacing 5 windows. After meeting with RETEX Charlottesville’s Robert Greene, she decided to move forward with his window quote, replacing her wood windows with Provia Aspect vinyl windows.

After her windows were replaced, Amelia left us the following 5-star Google review:

“We had a great experience with Retex! They were on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible to get the windows in our house updated. I would recommend working with them and plan to use them for future projects!”

We appreciate your review, Amelia!

Thanks so much for your review, Barbara!

Richmond homeowner Barbara Wilson originally reached out to RETEX in September 2025 for an estimate for repairing her slate roof. She then returned to us in October and December to repair her soffit, fascia, and gutters and replace the siding on her home’s gables, respectively.

Once the siding project was completed in January this year, Barbara left us the following 5-star Google review:

"I could not be happier with the projects Retex completed for us. We started with a roof repair, then they covered our soffits and fascia with vinyl. Then I asked about siding and they replaced our gables with the siding that looks like cedar shakes after another company told me they didn’t make them anymore and I couldn’t get them. The workers were very professional, quite considerate. Mark Scarpino was my projects manager and was always available for any questions or concerns I might have. So glad I found Retex Roofing. Our house is now beautiful.”

We appreciate your support of our company, Barbara!

How do you find a reputable siding contractor you can trust with your home’s exteriors?

Here are our top 5 tips:

1. Do your due diligence. Check with family, friends, and neighbors to see if they have recommendations. When looking online, search for great ratings across Google, Yelp, Facebook, Better Business Bureau, or any platform you trust for reviews.

2. Narrow down your options. Consider factors like location, warranties, and responsiveness to your inquiries. Upfront great – or bad! – communication is a good indicator of how your experience will be throughout the project.

3. Set up appointments that work for your schedule. Take this opportunity to meet with the contractors and ask questions about manufacturers’ certifications, industry experience, insurance coverage, financing options as needed, workmanship warranties, and references for jobs they’ve completed near you.

4. Consider your overall experience so far with the individual siding contractors or companies in the scheduling and appointment phases. If it’s a well-oiled machine with great people at every step, you should feel at ease putting your project in their hands.

5. Pick the company that fits your needs. Consider quality work, price, and the timeline for project completion. While the lowest bid may seem the most attractive, keep in mind the quality of work you’re paying for at that price. Other companies may be backed up with projects for the weeks ahead, so think about whether your timeline aligns with theirs.

If you are considering replacing your home’s siding, call Retex at 804-442-3314 to determine the best options for your specific needs and budget. We’re here to help.

Embrace the end of the first week of October with today’s Finished Roof Friday!

A Fredericksburg property management company we’ve worked with many times reached out to RETEX in May 2025 to assess an ongoing roof leak at one of their properties. After RETEX’s Caleb Kammerling assessed and discussed the roof’s condition with the property manager and owner, they decided it was time to go the roof replacement route.

The property owner chose Tamko Titan "Weathered Wood” shingles for their new RETEX roof.

How much does a roof replacement cost?

Let’s review the factors that go into pricing.

• Roof Size — Bigger roof = more materials and labor.

• Material Type — Asphalt, metal, wood, tile — they all come with different price points and lifespans.

• Roof Complexity — Steep slopes, valleys, skylights, and chimneys make the job more challenging.

• Tear-Offs — At RETEX, we always recommend removing old shingles. We won’t shingle over an old roof as it can hide problems that lead to leaks later on.Tear-off is often the best choice for long-term performance. Double-layered roofs also come with extra costs.

• Ventilation & Underlayment — Upgrades here are crucial for protecting your home and extending your roof’s life.

• Your Location — Labor rates, permit fees, and material availability can vary by region. This is why asking Google what a roof replacement costs isn’t very accurate; AI can’t account for accessibility and labor.

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.

There’s nothing quite like the natural beauty of a new cedar shake roof. Take a look at this Fredericksburg Finished Roof Friday!

This Fredericksburg homeowner reached out to RETEX in October 2024 for an estimate for replacing his shake roof with natural cedar shakes. We took care of the project for him in December, and then replaced his shed roof with cedar shakes in the spring this year.
