Commercial Roofing Matthews

Matthews, NC is where Keyway Construction & Roofing has been based for over 40 years — our office is at 740 Stallings Road, right in the heart of the community we serve. So when a Matthews business owner or commercial property manager calls us about a roof problem, they are not calling a Charlotte contractor who happens to cover Matthews. They are calling their neighbor. That distinction matters in how we show up, how we communicate, and how seriously we take the work. As the commercial roofing contractor Matthews, NC businesses have relied on for decades, we treat every local job as a reflection of who we are in this community.

Discover the Difference What To Expect

The Commercial Roofing Challenge Specific to Matthews, NC

Matthews developed rapidly as a Charlotte suburb through the 1980s and 1990s, which means a significant portion of the commercial building stock along Matthews Township Parkway, Monroe Road, and the surrounding business corridors was constructed 30 to 40 years ago. Original roofing systems installed on those buildings — whether flat membrane roofs on retail and office buildings or pitched shingle roofs on smaller commercial properties — have long since exceeded their design lifespan in most cases.

What this means practically is that a large number of Matthews commercial buildings are currently operating on roofs that are either well past their useful life or showing the compounding signs of deferred maintenance: granule loss on shingle systems, membrane shrinkage and cracking on flat roofs, failed flashing at parapet walls and HVAC curbs, and drainage issues that have been addressed with patches rather than proper repairs. The roof looks functional until one significant storm event reveals how much hidden deterioration has accumulated.

Keyway Construction knows this building stock because we have been working on it for decades. We know which commercial corridors have buildings that tend to have specific roofing profiles, and we bring that context to every assessment we do in Matthews.

Commercial Roof Repair in Matthews, NC

For many Matthews commercial property owners, the immediate need is not a full replacement — it is an honest assessment of what is actually wrong, followed by targeted repair work that addresses the real problem rather than masking it. That is exactly how we approach commercial roof repair in Matthews.

We do not arrive at an inspection with a replacement quote already written. We assess what is there, tell you what we find, and recommend the path that makes the most financial sense for your building and your situation. If a repair will extend your roof’s service life by five to eight years, we tell you that and we do the repair correctly. If the building has reached the point where continued repairs are throwing good money after bad, we tell you that too — and we explain why.

Common commercial roof repair work we perform in Matthews:

Flashing repair and replacement around HVAC curbs, parapet walls, skylights, and roof penetrations — the most common source of active leaks on Matthews commercial buildings of this age
Membrane repair on flat and low-slope roofs — addressing seam failures, punctures, blistering, and areas of standing water accumulation
Shingle repair and replacement on pitched commercial roofs — storm damage, wind uplift, granule loss, and underlayment deterioration
Drainage system repair — clearing, repairing, or reconfiguring roof drains and scuppers that are no longer functioning as designed
Emergency leak response — when an active leak is affecting your interior, we prioritize getting to your Matthews property quickly to assess and stabilize the situation

Commercial Roof Replacement in Matthews, NC

When a Matthews commercial building has reached the point where replacement is the right answer, Keyway Construction manages the entire process — from initial assessment and material selection through tear-off, installation, and final inspection. We work with all major commercial roofing systems and will recommend the one that best fits your building’s specific design, use, and long-term maintenance requirements.

For the flat and low-slope commercial buildings that make up much of Matthews’ commercial stock, we most commonly install silicone roofing systems, fluid-applied membranes, and metal roofing depending on the building type and ownership goals. For pitched commercial roofs — smaller retail buildings, restaurants, and professional offices — we install architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, and other systems suited to the building’s profile.

Every commercial roof replacement we complete in Matthews is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we walk you through before the project begins.

Serving Matthews Business Owners & Commercial Property Managers

A large portion of the commercial properties in Matthews are owned or operated by local business owners — not national property management companies. The dentist who owns their building on Matthews Township Parkway. The restaurant owner managing a leased space in a strip center. The professional services firm that bought their office building ten years ago. These are our neighbors, and they deserve the same straightforward service, clear pricing, and accountability that we would want if we were in their position.

We do not change how we work based on the size of the project or the type of client. Every Matthews commercial roofing job gets the same professional crew, the same quality materials, and the same commitment to getting it right. We are recognized by Angi, the Better Business Bureau, and Owens Corning — and we have earned those recognitions by doing exactly that, job after job, for over four decades in this community.

Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Roofing in Matthews, NC

My Matthews commercial building was built in the early 1990s — how do I know if the roof needs replacing?

A commercial building from the early 1990s is now 30 to 35 years old — which means the original roofing system has almost certainly exceeded its design lifespan regardless of how it looks from the outside. The most reliable way to know where you stand is a professional inspection. We will assess the current membrane or shingle condition, check all flashing and penetration points, evaluate drainage performance, and give you an honest picture of remaining service life. In many cases, a building in this age range either needs targeted repairs to buy a few more years, or it has reached the point where replacement is the more cost-effective path. We will tell you which situation applies to your building and explain our reasoning.

How long does a commercial roof replacement take for a typical Matthews retail or office building?

For a mid-size commercial building in Matthews — a 5,000 to 15,000 square foot retail or office building — a full roof replacement typically runs three to five business days under normal weather conditions. Larger buildings or more complex roofing systems may take longer. We provide a specific timeline estimate as part of your free assessment and build the project schedule around your operational needs where possible. We secure the building envelope at the end of each workday so your interior is protected overnight throughout the project.

Do you offer commercial roofing maintenance programs for Matthews property owners?

We recommend proactive maintenance for any commercial building owner in Matthews, particularly those with flat or low-slope roofing systems on older buildings. Catching developing problems early — a seam beginning to separate, flashing starting to lift, a drain beginning to clog — costs a fraction of what addressing the water damage and emergency repairs costs after a major leak event. We can schedule regular inspections and provide documented condition reports so you always have an accurate picture of your roof’s status. Contact us to discuss what a maintenance arrangement would look like for your specific property.
