Unprofessional, poor quality work, rude, didn’t finish job as requested. They installed a ridge vent that has started allowing moisture into the decking. They refuse to actually look at it until I have water pouring into my house. …

Hi Joe, I'm sorry you weren't satisfied with the projects you completed with RETEX. As discussed during our previous conversations and visits to your home, it is our professional assessment that the wood in question for the roof repair and window are in good shape regardless of their discoloration. We are willing to continue the conversation with you, and we will honor our warranty in the event there is an operational issue that comes up with either of your projects.

When I made my appointment I asked if they install skylights and if they can expand existing windows. I was told yes to both. When the guy came over for the consultation he said they don't do either of those things. I'd have to find a …

HI Lindsey, we apologize for not sending the contractor list your way, and for the miscommunication of the work within and outside our scope. We install skylights and can expand existing windows, however a general contractor in our opinion is a better route to go for lowering windows due to electrical interference. We're sorry we wasted your time, and wish you all the best with your project.

I had Retex back out to my place today to inspect a job that I paid them to fix about 1 1/2 years ago. The warranty was expired so I knew basically everything thing the guy would say before he said it. The issue did not reappear before the warranty period so it's the customers burden. I paid them to fix a problem. They accepted my money, so I'm down $1200 with the same leak as before.

Would not recommend if attention detail is what you are looking for. Hired to replace soffit, gutters, and trim and after receiving invoice 8 months after the job completion, the management team offered to come back and fix trim work for an *additional cost*.

Hi Travis, thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We have tried to reach out to you a couple times to resolve your raised concerns as they qualify under our labor workmanship warranty. We would be happy to resolve them as soon as possible.

This is a delayed review, which I will admit, isn't the best way do review a business. However... we had ongoing issues with our service in 2021 after we bought our house and Retex had already provided a quote to previous buyers that ended …

Mark came to take a look at some small holes in the drywall for fear of leaking in the roof; took about 5 minutes to look, confirm it was mainly a drywall/settling issue, and gave a recommendation for a drywall/painter who could handle it for us! Extremely friendly and timely, couldn’t ask for anything more. Would highly recommend and will be using their services anytime we need something again!

Had a great experience with this roof replacement. As selections were being made, was provided with locations where I could see their work and information concerning available products and colors along with recommendations. The crew was very good, took good care of the area around the house and cleaned up very well. Excellent customer communication and follow-through including progress pics and a drone footage.

Retex was very professional from start to end. Communication was great and I thought the price was fair. Would recommend. They performed some repairs for me and replaced pipe collars. Not many roofing companies show interest in repairs if it's not a full replacement. However, since Retex was eager to repair my roof that is maybe halfway through it's life, they will be first on my list to call when it's time to replace my roof.

The folks at Retex were great to work with. They took plenty of time to understand the roof replacement project and explain their process up front. Pricing was fair, transparent, and easy to compare to the other 3 quotes we got for the same …

I reached out to Retex Roofing for an independent professional opinion on some roofing concerns I had with my new construction home, including roof corners that were raised instead of lying flat. Mark Erickson came out promptly, assessed the issues thoroughly, and gave me his honest professional evaluation — all at no charge. Mark was knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain what he was seeing and suggested a simple solution that could improve the roof appearance. Retex Roofing was so helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Retex Roofing to anyone looking for an honest, professional roofer.

Retex did a great job fixing a long-standing leak issue in our balcony. Their people were very thorough in assessing and repairing the issue. We've had a few rainstorms since their work, and finally after years of persistent issues everything is staying dry inside!

Woohoo — thanks for trusting us with your roof repair!

Should you repair or replace your home’s windows? Great question. Repairing might be enough if: • The issue is small – like worn weatherstripping, a broken pane, or a broken latch • The frame is still solid • You’re not dealing with drafts or high energy bills • Your windows are less than 20 years old Replacing your windows makes more sense when: • Your windows are 20+ years old • You notice drafts, fog between panes, or rising energy costs • You want better curb appeal, function, or home value Not sure what you need? RETEX offers honest advice and free estimates. We’ll help you weigh your options – no pressure, just the facts. Call us to set up your window estimate today.Jul 29, 2026
