How Remodel.co works in Matthews
- You describe the job once. Project type, scope, optional budget range, timeline, design and permit status, home age, and photos become a structured job brief.
- We match it to one operator. If a remodeling contractor in our network covers your ZIP and does that work, the brief goes to them, not to a list of companies.
- They quote; you decide. The operator contacts you to confirm details and quote. You're never obligated to hire.
We're a matching marketplace, not a local crew: we don't have an office or trucks in Matthews. Requests are free for homeowners; operators pay to receive job requests. The network is new, so if no operator covers your area yet, we'll try to connect you and tell you honestly. More on how it works →

Remodeling in Matthews: what's local
We haven't written a Matthews-specific remodeling guide yet, so this page sticks to what applies across the Charlotte area and North Carolina. It's here so Matthews homeowners can send a job brief and see honestly whether an operator covers them.
Across the Charlotte area
- In North Carolina, projects of $40,000 or more require a licensed general contractor.
- Mecklenburg County runs building permits and inspections for Charlotte and its towns.
- HOAs in newer subdivisions often approve additions and exterior changes.
- Fort Mill, in South Carolina, follows South Carolina licensing and its own local permits.
Permits and HOAs
Matthews is its own jurisdiction: permits come from the city or, in unincorporated areas, the county, not from Charlotte. Remodels that move walls, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC usually need permits and inspections; cosmetic updates often don't. Your contractor normally pulls them, and HOAs may need to approve exterior changes and additions.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm with your city, county, or HOA.
North Carolina: rules that apply statewide
- In North Carolina, a general contractor license from the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors is required for projects of $40,000 or more.
- North Carolina runs its own EPA-authorized lead renovation (RRP) program for pre-1978 homes (EPA: Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Program).
