Roof Repair in Matthews, NC

Roof Repair in Matthews, NC

Most Matthews roofs we get called to don’t need to be replaced. They need one problem found and fixed properly: a cracked pipe boot, a few shingles lifted by wind, a chimney that was never flashed right, or a valley that has been letting water in for a year. We find the actual source of the leak, show you photos, and fix that, at a price you agree to before we start.

Matthews has a lot of homes at the age where these small problems start. A 2023 UNC Charlotte housing study of the town found the median home was built in 1991, and more than half of Matthews homes were built between 1980 and 2000. Many of those roofs are on their second set of shingles, and the details that fail first, like pipe boots, step flashing and old vents, are often original or from the last re-roof.

The Repairs We Do Most in Matthews

• Pipe boot leaks. The rubber collar around plumbing vents dries out and cracks in the sun, and water runs down the pipe into the ceiling below. We replace the boot and seal it properly. More on this in our pipe boot leak guide.
• Wind-lifted and missing shingles. After a summer storm we replace the missing pieces, re-seal lifted tabs and check the rest of that slope, because one blown-off shingle often means others are loose.
• Chimney and wall flashing. Leaks that show up on a ceiling near a chimney or where a roof meets a second-story wall usually come from step flashing or counter-flashing, not the shingles.
• Valley leaks. Valleys carry the most water on the roof. Worn or poorly cut valleys leak in heavy rain, especially on the two-story homes common in Matthews subdivisions.
• Soft or rotted decking. If a leak has been going on for a while, the plywood under the shingles can rot. We replace the damaged sheets instead of covering them up.
• Vents, ridge cap and skylights. Cracked vent hoods, failing ridge cap and leaking skylight flashing round out the list.

Repair or Replace? A Straight Answer

We’ll tell you if a repair makes sense. If your shingles are sound and the problem is local, a repair is the better decision, and we would rather earn your trust with a small job than sell you a roof you don’t need. Read why we often recommend a repair instead of a new roof.

A replacement starts to make more sense when the roof is past roughly 20 years, granules are washing into the gutters, shingles are curling across whole slopes, or you’re paying for repairs in more than one spot each year. If that’s where your roof is, see our Matthews roof replacement page and our 2026 roof cost guide.

How a Matthews Roof Repair Works

1. Call, text or book online. Text a photo of the ceiling stain or the roof to 704-396-8383 and we’ll often know what we’re looking at before we arrive.
2. Inspection. We go on the roof and, when needed, into the attic to trace the water back to where it’s getting in. It usually takes less than an hour.
3. Photos and a price. You see what we found and get a written price before any work starts.
4. The repair. We schedule it as soon as you approve the price, using matching shingles where they’re still made.

Emergency Leaks

If water is coming in right now, call or text 704-396-8383. We answer 24 hours a day. We do emergency tarping and emergency repairs: we’ll tarp or temporarily seal the area to stop the water, then come back and fix it right.
