Happy Thanksgiving!

Katelyn Lewis • November 24, 2022

Time to give thanks, folks, and we have a lot to be thankful for this year.

We’re grateful for a tight-knit, hard-working team. We couldn’t do the work we do without Mark, Caleb K., Caleb H., Katelyn, Josh, or Albus pouring themselves into building Retex into the awesome neighborly home exterior company it is today.


We're thankful for our great community, one we love to get to know with each call, appointment, and interaction throughout the span of our projects.


We’re grateful for Richmond's Habitat for Humanity, who we’re honored to volunteer with each month, building homes, communities, and hope.


And we’re so blessed with our families and friends who share their support, encouragement, listening ears, and thoughtful advice as we work to improve and expand our small, mighty business.


Thank you all for following us on our Retex journey. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
