How We Give Back: Retex's Community Involvement

Katelyn Lewis • December 29, 2022

When we first established Retex as a local roofing and home exterior business, we were firm in our mission to create a company that gives back to its community.


With that in mind, we committed to volunteering once a month with Richmond’s Habitat for Humanity.

Why Habitat for Humanity?


We love their mission to provide housing for local families and their vision for creating a world in which everyone has a decent place to live. They seek to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope.


Plus, Josh comes from a long line of contractors, including his father, and he loves learning the ins-and-outs of residential construction. Meanwhile, Katelyn feels a familial connection to the organization, as her maternal grandfather was very involved with Habitat throughout his life. So dedicating one day each month to building, learning, and volunteering seemed like a no-brainer!


Our Retex team members have helped Habitat’s Build teams on around 20+ job sites, ranging in work from framing, trim, and window installations to painting and peeling wallpaper (really!). We’ve had the opportunities to participate in their home dedication ceremonies, which are truly special, as well as help out at their ReStore. And we’ve made many friends along the way with other volunteers and Habitat staff.


Thank you for being a part of our Retex community. We look forward to serving you in the new year!
