Set about 16 miles southeast of our Charlotte HQ beside the historic Matthews train depot and the Independence Boulevard corridor, Matthews is home to downtown Matthews, Sardis Forest, Brightmoor and Stevens Mill — an area of 1970s–2000s established suburban homes, many now on their second roof. We pull every permit through the Town of Matthews with Mecklenburg County building inspections so you don't have to.
With Matthews roofs facing afternoon thunderstorm hail tracking along the US-74 corridor, we don't shortcut the tear-off: every square foot of decking gets inspected, bad sheathing is replaced, and fresh underlayment plus ice/water shield go down before the CertainTeed system.

Matthews grew up around the 1870s railroad and cotton-gin trade, and its older Sardis and Crestdale sections still hold homes from that era; many were re-roofed cheaply in the 1990s and are now failing a second time, which is the bulk of what we replace here.

Professional, punctual, and honest. They didn't oversell us — they told us what we actually needed and delivered exactly that. The magnetic nail sweep at the end gave us real peace of mind with kids and pets. Five stars without hesitation.
From the start, the appointment was handled professionally, and the inspector arrived right on time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After a thorough roof inspection he didn't try to sell me on issues that didn't exist. That level of transparency speaks volumes.
The owner, Brandon, is readily available, happy to answer questions, and guided us through the entire process. The crew came in quickly and were efficient but didn't cut corners. This company stands behind their work in ways cheaper companies did not. This is our second time hiring them.
