FAQs
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Retex offers complimentary estimates, and complimentary roof assessments as well. Call the office or fill out the online form to schedule one. A roof replacement appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, and the company says it sends the quote within 24 hours, if not sooner.
Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?
It depends on the age of the roof. The company notes that a standard asphalt shingle roof in Gainesville lasts between 20 and 25 years, so a roof in good condition at 20 years old, or a younger roof, can often be repaired. If the roof is 20 years or older and worn down by the weather, a replacement may be the better call. A technician assesses the roof and explains the options.
My roof is leaking. What should I do?
If the cause is obvious, such as a tree limb through the roof, first make sure everyone inside the home is safe, then call your homeowners insurance provider to explain the situation. After that, call a licensed roofing company to assess the damage and tarp the roof as needed. If the leak is less obvious and not life threatening, still contact a roofer sooner rather than later to keep interior and exterior damage to a minimum.
Do you help with storm damage insurance claims?
Yes. Retex provides complimentary storm and hail damage assessments. If qualifying damage is found during the inspection, the team works with your insurance company to fix the issues found and streamlines communications so the repair is completed efficiently.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
All roof repairs come with a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty. For roof replacements the company states a lifetime workmanship warranty and says it will immediately address any issue that comes up during or after the installation. Ask about the specific coverage that applies to your job, including the manufacturer warranty on the materials chosen.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes. Retex handles commercial and multi-family roofing in Gainesville, including new installation, repair, replacement, and storm damage work. Flat roof options include TPO, described by the company as UV reflective with a 20 to 30 year lifespan, and modified bitumen at 15 to 20 years. Metal roofing, synthetic slate, and cedar shake are also offered.
Do you install and repair gutters?
Yes. Gutter repair, gutter installation, and gutter replacement are part of what Retex offers alongside roofing. Gutters divert water away from the roofline and the home itself, protecting the roof, the walls, the foundation, and the surrounding landscape, so they are often handled at the same time as a roof replacement.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing is available up to $50,000 through Regions Bank d/b/a EnerBank USA, Member FDIC, on approved credit. Fixed APRs run from 8.99% to 15.99%, subject to change, minimum loan amounts apply, and repayment terms vary from 12 to 144 months. Ask the team how it works for your project.
