What deck building & repair looks like in Matthews
Backyards in the Charlotte metro run from mature, sloped lots to newer flat-graded lots, and both change how footings and stairs get engineered. We've corrected plenty of decks around Matthews where the ledger was never properly flashed and rot set in behind the siding — we check that on every repair call, not just new builds.
Homes of that vintage sit in an awkward spot: too new to be considered historic, old enough that everything mechanical is now past its service life. In Matthews we're regularly replacing polybutylene supply lines discovered mid-project, upgrading panels that can't carry a modern bathroom's load, and reworking bathrooms whose layouts made sense when the house had one shared bath and now don't. We look for those issues during the consultation instead of at demolition, because finding a polybutylene line on day one of a fixed-price job is exactly the kind of surprise that wrecks a schedule. Mature tree canopy here also means storm and roof calls after every serious wind event.

Deck Building & Repair in Matthews — common questions
Do decks need a permit in Matthews?
Most new decks and any structural repair do. We file and manage the permit and inspection as part of the project.
Wood or composite?
Composite costs more up front and needs almost no maintenance; wood costs less but needs regular sealing. We walk through both against your budget before you decide.
My deck feels bouncy — is that serious?
Often yes. Bounce usually means undersized joists or a failing ledger connection. We inspect from underneath before quoting a repair.
Who permits deck building & repair work in Matthews, NC?
Permitted work is reviewed and inspected through the Town of Matthews, with inspections handled by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. Plumbing relocation, new circuits and structural changes require a permit; like-for-like fixture swaps, flooring and painting generally do not. We file, schedule and meet the inspections ourselves.
What should I expect on site in Matthews?
Matthews is compact and easy to route, and most neighborhoods have straightforward driveway access. Mature tree canopy does affect roof staging and dumpster placement, which we confirm on the walkthrough. The most common conditions we plan for here: 1980s and 1990s homes with original hall baths and dated 4-inch tile; mature landscaping and established trees that complicate roof and siding access; a well-preserved older downtown core with different construction than the surrounding subdivisions.
