About Us

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

We know the bad rap contractors have of not calling back, not showing up, not explaining estimates, and not following through on the work – and we're here to change that once and for all.

Josh & Katelyn Lewis started Retex Roofing & Exteriors with the goal of creating a home exterior company providing customer care above and beyond the actual service. "Retex" – born from combining the words "retro" and "vertex" – brings a modern twist to a traditional industry, with a focus on educating homeowners about one of their most valuable assets: their homes.

Our company values are: 

• Faith & Family First
• Responsibility
• Honest Communication
• Continuous Learning

We are the roofing company of the future.

We meet customers where they are, whether online or through the more traditional, in-person experience. We offer the most-convenient solution to our customers' exterior needs or problems, taking the time to listen and offer feasible options for our customers based on their needs, budgets, and timelines.

We are fellow homeowners.

And as homeowners, we understand that our industry is primarily based on need, so we offer solutions that are high-quality and fairly priced. We understand no one wants a roof leak or siding issue. But when that day comes, we're here to help with solutions homeowners can count on.

Our Founder's Story: Josh Lewis

As a graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering from a great university, I get asked all the time, “How the heck did you get into roofing?!”

Well, let’s rewind to 2014: I had just graduated from Florida State University and accepted a job with a huge construction company in Washington, D.C., building out multimillion-dollar law firms. But after about 6 months, I had an itch I couldn’t shake that I could do more, that I could learn faster, and that the world needed good contractors. So with some seed money from my parents and all of my savings, I struck out on my own. 

There I was at 24 years old, renovating bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and anything else that came my way, but hardly turning a dime of profit because I didn’t know enough to set proper customer expectations. Luckily, my customers loved me and the work, so the relationships survived the tough weeks and long months to follow. 

Around the end of 2015, a client of mine who was then an executive with BP America was about to take a 2-month business trip to the Middle East. He needed a new roof and was happy to pay me a little extra to manage the work while he was out of the country. I proceeded to call 19 roofing companies, of which only six answered. Four came out to assess the work and only three actually bothered to send me a quote.

Of those three, the prices ranged from $6800 to $21,000, with not much of an explanation for the disparity. After trying my absolute best as a contractor and an engineering graduate to understand the pricing differences, it dawned on me that this segment of the construction industry had gone awry.

From that day forward, we’ve focused all our efforts on helping our customers with their roofing needs by being on time, using the opportunity to educate homeowners about their roofs, and delivering the best quality product for a reasonable price. And here we still are, working hard every day to raise the roofing industry to a new standard.
