This homeowner reached out to Retex in August 2021 wanting an estimate to recoat his metal roof and replace the shingles on his home’s addition. At the end of the month, we completed both projects within a week, sealing this homeowner’s home for many years to come.


Recoating your metal roof is a regular maintenance item that restores it to a like-new condition. It provides a less-expensive option than replacing a metal roof, with the coating sealing any leaks, cracks, and seams. It’s more environmentally-friendly, too, as there’s less site debris, pollutants, and overall energy consumed than in a full tear-off and replacement.


Meanwhile, most asphalt shingle roofs in Richmond, VA, will last between 20 and 25 years. Of all the kinds of roofing materials on the market, asphalt shingles are easily the most affordable and versatile. These shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles, cost-effective, and easy to install compared to other roofing material options. If your shingle roof is around 20 years old, it’s smart to have it checked out before you notice an issue.
