We are proud to be a sponsor of the Orange County Artist Orange County Artists Guild and this one is especially close to our hearts. 🎨

At Bud Matthews Services we have always believed that a great community is about more than the homes in it. It’s about the people, the culture, and the creativity that make the Triangle a place worth coming home to. Supporting the arts is one of the ways we show up for the community we have been part of since 1981.

We are also especially honored to support an organization that includes Bud’s sweetie Ruth, a proud and talented member of the Orange County Artist Guild. ❤️

Here’s to the artists who make our community richer, more colorful, and more alive.

OCAG thanks Bud Matthews Services, a Bronze level sponsor of our 2026 Open Studio Tour!

“For over 40 years Bud Matthews Services has been more than a home services company. We've been neighbors.
Since 1981 we've been showing up for Triangle homeowners, fixing what's broken, maintaining what matters, and building what's next. We serve our community across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, and full design/build remodeling. What we're really in the business of is peace of mind, knowing your home is taken care of so you can get back to the life you love.
When something breaks you want someone you trust, who shows up when they say they will, explains what's wrong, and fixes it right. That's been the Bud Matthews Services promise since day one and it's a promise we take seriously every single time we walk through your door.
The life you love includes art, culture, and the people and places that make this community worth coming home to. Supporting organizations like the Orange County Artist Guild is how we show up for the people, not just the pipes. We are proud to be part of something bigger than a service call.”

Most water heaters last 8–12 years, and a lot of homeowners don't realize theirs is already past that mark until something goes wrong. 💧

Rusty water, unusual noises, or just an aging tank are all worth checking before a small issue turns into a flooded utility closet.

Getting up there in age? Call (919) 929-0203 before it fails on its own schedule. 🔧

Myth: if it fits down the disposal, it's fine to put down there.
Fact: grease, pumpkin guts, coffee grounds, and fibrous scraps are some of the fastest ways to clog a line, disposal or not.

With pumpkins getting cleaned out and bigger meals being cooked, it's worth being careful about what goes down the drain. Already backed up?

Call (919) 929-0203 and we'll get it moving again.

Quick tip: one flickering light is probably just a bulb.

Flickering across multiple rooms, plus breakers that trip more often than they used to, is usually your electrical panel trying to tell you something.

Financing options are available if an upgrade turns out to be the right call. Call (919) 929-0203 and we'll help you figure out what's going on.

Myth: if a pipe isn't actively leaking, it's fine.
Fact: a slow drip or a small water stain under the cabinet can quietly raise your water bill and cause real damage long before an obvious leak ever shows up.

If something looks or smells off under your sink, don't wait for it to get worse. We offer 24-hour emergency service, so help is available whenever you need it. Call (919) 929-0203.

Did you know cleaning your dryer vent regularly helps prevent both a fire hazard and a shrinking energy bill?

Small habits like this go a long way toward keeping your appliances running well for years, and they're easy to build into a regular home maintenance routine.

Need a hand with maintenance or a repair? Call (919) 929-0203. We proudly serve Orange, Durham, and Chatham counties.

Nothing tells our story better than the people we've worked for. During a winter storm, Maria F's heat went out at the worst possible time, and Jon and the crew got it fixed fast.

She's told us more than once how much it meant to have heat back before the storm got worse. That's the kind of response we aim for every time.

Ready to see what that looks like for your own home? Call (919) 929-0203 to schedule.

Older homes have plenty of character, but their wiring wasn't built for how much we all plug in today.

If your home is a few decades old, a professional safety check can catch overloaded circuits, outdated panels, or worn wiring before they become a real hazard.

We're licensed and insured, so you can feel confident about who's doing the work. Call (919) 929-0203 to find out where your home stands.

Your home's exterior takes the hit so the inside doesn't have to. Worn siding, aging windows, and rot around the trim are worth addressing before they turn into bigger, more expensive repairs.

As a licensed general contractor, we can walk your property with you and help you figure out exactly what your home needs. Call (919) 929-0203 to schedule an assessment.

Cooler weather is on the way, and that makes now a good time to clear out slow or clogged drains before they turn into a bigger backup.

A little preventive care on your pipes now can save you from a stressful clog once the holidays and colder months set in. Our licensed plumbers are ready to take a look. Call (919) 929-0203 to schedule a checkup.
