Roof Replacement and Roofing in Matthews, NC
Matthews is one of the most established towns in the Charlotte area, and a lot of its homes show it in the best way: mature trees, settled neighborhoods, and houses that have been well cared for over decades. The flip side is that many of those homes were built in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, which means a large share of Matthews roofs are now on their original shingles or on a first replacement that is reaching the end of its life.
Charlotte Ace Roofing is based just up the road in south Charlotte, and Matthews is part of our everyday service area. Whether you live near downtown Matthews and Stumptown Park, off Sardis Road, along the Matthews-Mint Hill Road corridor or out toward Weddington Road, we can usually get to your home quickly for a free inspection and give you a straight answer about what your roof actually needs.
Do You Need a New Roof — or Just a Repair?
The first question we answer for every Matthews homeowner is whether a replacement is really necessary. Plenty of roofs that look tired from the street still have years left in them, and a targeted repair is a much better decision than a full replacement if the shingles are sound. We would rather earn your trust with an honest repair now than sell you a roof you don’t need.
A replacement usually makes sense when we see several of these together:
- Age: standard architectural shingles in our climate typically last about 18 to 25 years. Older 3-tab roofs often wear out sooner.
- Granule loss: bare, shiny spots on shingles, or heavy granules collecting in your gutters and at downspouts.
- Curling, cupping or cracked shingles, especially on the south- and west-facing slopes that take the most afternoon sun.
- Repeated leaks in different spots, which often means the whole system is failing rather than one bad flashing.
- Soft or sagging decking, usually from long-term moisture or poor attic ventilation.
- Widespread storm damage from hail or wind that affects multiple slopes.
If you are on the fence, our article on when a repair beats a replacement walks through the decision in more detail, and this guide to roof lifespan covers the warning signs.
What Matthews Roofs Deal With
Matthews roofs face the same weather as the rest of the Charlotte region, but the town’s tree cover adds a few problems of its own:
- Tree debris and shade. Mature oaks and pines drop leaves, needles and limbs onto roofs and into valleys. Debris holds moisture against shingles, and shaded slopes dry slowly, which shortens shingle life and invites moss.
- Black algae streaks. Our hot, humid summers are ideal for the algae that leaves dark streaks on north-facing slopes. It is mostly cosmetic, but it is the number one reason Matthews homeowners ask about algae-resistant shingles.
- Spring and summer storms. Severe thunderstorms bring wind gusts and occasional hail, and the remnants of tropical systems — like Helene in 2024 — can lift shingles and bring down limbs across the area.
- Attic heat. Many older homes were built with limited ventilation. A hot attic bakes shingles from below, so we check intake and exhaust venting on every replacement.
Our Roof Replacement Process in Matthews
1. A free inspection that is actually diagnostic
We go on the roof and into the attic when it is accessible, photograph what we find, and show you the photos. You get a clear explanation of the condition of your shingles, flashing, pipe boots, decking and ventilation — not a sales pitch.
2. A written, line-item estimate
Your estimate spells out the shingle line, underlayment, ice and water protection in valleys, drip edge, ventilation, pipe boots, flashing and how decking repairs are priced. If you have another quote, our Beat-or-Match Price Guarantee means we will look at it line by line. For typical numbers, see our 2026 Charlotte roof cost guide or try the roof cost calculator.
3. Material and color selection
We install Owens Corning, GAF Timberline HDZ and CertainTeed Landmark shingles. We’ll bring samples, help you pick a color that suits your home and any HOA guidelines, and explain the warranty differences in plain English.
4. Installation, usually in one to three days
Most Matthews roof replacements take one to three days depending on size, pitch and weather. We protect your landscaping, driveway and siding, tear the old roof down to the deck, replace any rotten wood, and install the full system — not just new shingles over old problems.
5. Cleanup and final walkthrough
We run magnetic sweepers for nails, haul away all debris, and walk the finished roof with you. Your workmanship is backed by our 5-year warranty on top of the manufacturer’s coverage, including up to a 130-MPH wind warranty on qualifying Owens Corning systems.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Matthews
If a storm has damaged your roof, we document the damage with photos, give you an honest opinion on whether it is worth filing a claim, and can meet your adjuster on site. North Carolina’s building rules — including the 25% rule for roof repairs — can affect what your policy should cover, and we’ll explain how it applies to your roof.

Matthews Roof Replacement FAQ
How much does a roof replacement cost in Matthews?
It depends mainly on the size and pitch of your roof, the shingle you choose and how much decking needs replacing. A typical Matthews home falls in a similar range to the rest of south Charlotte; our cost-by-neighborhood guide shows real ranges, and we give every homeowner a written estimate after a free inspection.
My HOA has rules about shingle colors. Can you help?
Yes. We can provide manufacturer color names, samples and spec sheets for your HOA’s architectural review so approval goes smoothly.
Can you replace my roof if the old one only has a leak or two?
If the roof is otherwise in good shape, we will recommend a repair instead. We only recommend replacement when the roof is truly at the end of its life or the damage is widespread.
