Happy Presidents' Day!

Happy Presidents' Day from the Retex team!
Originally created to commemorate President George Washington on his birthday (Feb 22), Presidents' Day was moved to the third Monday of February by U.S. Congress as part of the 1971 Uniform Monday Holiday Act – an endeavor to create more three-day holiday weekends for America's workers – to honor Washington and all presidents, past and present, who have led our nation for nearly 250 years.
Today, we celebrate and honor the leaders and history of our country. Happy Presidents' Day!

We will be closed on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, in observance of the holiday.

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.
