Delivering clean worksites, meticulous preparation, and durable finishes to property owners in Matthews.
Serving Homeowners & Businesses in Matthews
Matthews sits about eleven miles southeast of uptown, and it is a genuinely distinct town rather than another stretch of Charlotte. There is a real walkable core around Trade Street, with a hardware store that has been trading for over a century and a growers only farmers market every Saturday morning. Brushworks Painting paints across the town, from the older farmhouses and craftsman bungalows near the old town core out through Sardis Plantation, Brightmoor, Matthews Plantation, and the subdivisions along Pleasant Plains and Sam Newell Road.
Matthews has a very particular painting profile, because over ninety percent of its housing stock went up after 1970 and the biggest single slice of it was built between the mid 1980s and the late 1990s. That era means hardboard lap siding and trim, and hardboard has a service life that most of these houses have now passed. If the bottom courses of your siding are soft or swollen, or the butt joints are opening up, that is not a paint problem and another coat will not fix it. We find it during prep, show you what we found, and price the repair separately rather than painting over it and hoping.

Premium Painting Services in the Matthews
Austin grew up watching his dad run his own company, and that planted the idea that he would build something of his own one day. He came into painting through the sales side, learned the trade end to end, and kept noticing the same thing: the whole industry felt rigid and joyless. He and his wife Dakotah moved to Charlotte, fell for the city, and decided this was where they wanted to put down roots and build something that lasts. Their faith is the foundation of how they run it, and in practice that means honesty about what your home actually needs, care taken with it, and a real interest in the people who live there.

Matthews Painting FAQs
On a Matthews house from the 1980s or 1990s that is almost always hardboard siding that has taken on water. It swells, delaminates, and eventually rots, and once a board has gone soft it cannot be repaired, only replaced. The usual spots are the bottom courses, behind gutters, garage door trim, and the rake boards up in the gables. We check for it during prep and show you what we find before anything gets coated.
In most Matthews subdivisions with covenants, yes, and it takes longer than people expect. Sardis Plantation, Brightmoor, Fairfield Plantation, Poplar Forest, and Matthews Plantation all have active associations. Architectural review packets usually want the color name and manufacturer, the sheen, which surfaces, and your contractor's details, and responses commonly run 30 to 45 days. Some associations want a filing even for a same color repaint. Start it before you book the work and we will give you the product and color names in writing for the submission.
For nearly every house, no, and this gets misunderstood a lot. The commercial core is on the National Register, and a National Register listing places no restriction on a private owner's paint colors. Matthews has no local historic district. What it does have is a handful of individually designated local landmarks, and those do need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission before exterior alterations. If your house is one of them you almost certainly already know.
Not for the painting itself. Where it can come up is the work underneath: replacing siding, structural rot repair, or window replacement can require a Mecklenburg County permit even though the paint job does not. If your project turns into siding replacement once we open it up, we will tell you what that changes.
It matters for your taxes and your school district more than for us, but you are right to ask. A Matthews mailing address regularly lands in Stallings, Indian Trail, unincorporated Union County, or Charlotte. Stevens Mill was annexed by Stallings, and Shannamara and Chestnut carry Matthews addresses in Union County. We work across all of it, so wherever you actually sit, we can get to you.
One, and it is a big one. Matthews Alive runs Labor Day weekend and brings something like 125,000 people through downtown, with the parade coming straight down Trade Street. If you are near the core we will schedule around it rather than trying to work through it.
