Roofing in Matthews, where small-town streets meet the suburbs
Matthews keeps a small-town center with older homes, ringed by the neighborhoods that filled in around it.
Matthews is a town in southeastern Mecklenburg County, so a roof replacement here is permitted through the county's LUESA office.
Matthews had 29,613 people in 2020. Near the center of town, older farmhouse-style homes and cottages often combine a shingle main roof with metal porch roofs, low-slope additions, and decades of repairs layered on top of each other. Further out, the neighborhoods built from the 1980s onward mostly have shingle roofs that are now on their second or third generation.
On older homes, we pay attention to the transitions: where the porch roof meets the house, where an addition's roof meets the original, and where a chimney passes through. Those are where water finds its way in. Metal porch roofs that have rusted or lost their paint can usually be replaced on their own, without touching the main roof. On newer homes, a replacement usually means a full tear-off and a check of the decking and ventilation.
Matthews is inside Mecklenburg County, so full replacements are permitted through LUESA. Mint Hill, next door, follows the same county process, and we cover it too.

Can you replace just my metal porch roof?
Yes. A porch roof can be replaced on its own, with new flashing where it meets the house.
Do I need a permit in Matthews?
For a full roof replacement, yes, through Mecklenburg County's LUESA. Small repairs usually don't.
Do you work in Mint Hill too?
Yes. Mint Hill is next door and part of our regular area.
Can you match an older roof for a repair?
We match as closely as current shingle lines allow, and tell you upfront if a perfect match isn't possible.
