Roof Replacement in Matthews, NC | Keyway Construction

A roof does not last forever, and in the Matthews area the heat, humidity, and storm season push it harder than the brochure numbers suggest. When yours reaches the end, a full replacement done right protects your home for the next few decades. Keyway is based right here in Matthews, at 740 Stallings Road, and we have replaced roofs across town since 1975. Here is how we handle roof replacement for Matthews homes, and how to tell when it is time.

When a Matthews home needs a full roof replacement

Not every roof problem means replacement. A younger roof with one leak is usually a repair. But when the shingles are worn across the whole roof, leaks show up in more than one place, or the roof is simply old, patching it just delays the inevitable and wastes money. If you are on the fence, see the signs you need a new roof and our what drives the cost of a new roof.

Roof replacement for Matthews’ established neighborhoods

Matthews is full of homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, which puts a lot of roofs right at the age where the original shingles give out. Add the heavy tree canopy over neighborhoods like Providence Plantation and Sardis Woods, which keeps roofs damp and feeds algae, and you get roofs that age faster than the calendar says. If your home is in an HOA, we know the approval steps and match your replacement to the neighborhood’s requirements.

Signs your Matthews roof is ready for replacement

• Curling, cracking, or missing shingles across the roof
• Granules building up in the gutters and bald spots on the shingles
• Leaks or water stains showing up in more than one room
• A roof that is 20 years old or older
• Daylight or sagging visible in the attic

Storm damage is its own path. If hail or wind hit your home, see our storm damage roof replacement, where insurance may cover the cost.

Our roof replacement process in Matthews

A good roof is a full system, not just shingles. Here is how we do it.

1. Free inspection and measurement Inspect the roof and attic, measure in squares, and give an honest read on repair versus replacement.
2. Full tear-off Strip the old roof down to the deck and haul it away.
3. Deck inspection and repair Check the wood deck and replace any soft or rotted boards.
4. Underlayment and flashing Install synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and new flashing.
5. Shingle installation Install starter course, field shingles, and ridge caps to manufacturer spec.
6. Ventilation Balance intake at the soffit and exhaust at the ridge.
7. Cleanup and final walkthrough Magnet-sweep for nails, haul debris, and walk the finished roof with the homeowner.
