SSKM Construction Corp installs standing-seam metal roofing in Newburgh and across the Hudson Valley: concealed-fastener panels over a full tear-off, rebuilt ice barrier, and correct flashing, the same rebuild standard we use on every roof replacement. Metal runs 40 to 70 years and sheds snow fast, which matters on steep Hudson Valley roofs. Estimates are always free, written, and itemized.
- How long does it last? 40 to 70 years, well beyond architectural asphalt.
- Why metal here? Sheds snow fast and cuts down on ice-dam risk.
- Costs more? Yes, meaningfully more upfront. We will walk you through the tradeoff.
Metal roofing is a bigger investment than asphalt, and it is not the right call for every home. SSKM will tell you plainly whether the cost makes sense for your house and how long you plan to stay, not just install what is asked for.
The Difference
Why homeowners choose SSKM for metal roofing
Snow slides off, not sits
Standing seam's slick vertical panels shed snow fast rather than holding a load through a Hudson Valley winter, cutting the ice-dam risk that shingles are prone to.
Concealed fasteners
Panels are fastened through hidden clips rather than exposed screws, so there is nothing punching through the metal for water to find over 40-plus years.
Same tear-off standard
We rebuild the deck, ice barrier, and flashing exactly like every roof replacement. Metal is the panel choice, not a shortcut on what is underneath.
Watch For These
Is metal roofing right for your home?
- You are staying in the house long enough for the higher upfront cost to pay off over decades
- Heavy snow load or ice dams have been a recurring problem with your current shingle roof
- You want a roof that needs essentially no maintenance for decades
- Your roofline is steep or complex, where shingles tend to wear faster
- You are replacing a roof near the end of its life and want to avoid doing this again

Real Reviews
Rated 5.0 stars by Hudson Valley homeowners
The roof was completely done and cleaned up in 2 days, his guys had even cleaned out my gutters.
SSKM Construction did an outstanding job replacing the sheathing and removing and replacing the existing siding on my home.
It has been a pleasure and honor to work with Luis and his crew for the past 5 years.
Luis and his crew did a great job swapping out two nasty pull-out windows in my basement.

Metal roofing: what Hudson Valley homeowners should know
Why metal sheds Hudson Valley winters better
Standing-seam panels are smooth with nearly vertical seams, so snow slides off under its own weight instead of sitting and melting slowly the way it does on shingles. That matters because ice dams form when meltwater backs up at a cold eave and works under the roofing material, a shingle-prone failure mode that a well-installed metal roof mostly avoids.
The concealed-fastener clip system is the other half of it. There is no exposed screw head anywhere on the field of the roof for water or ice to find over the decades, which is a big part of why standing-seam panels carry the longest service-life ratings of any common roofing material.
Professional crew from start to finish. The job site was spotless every single day.
The cost tradeoff, honestly
Standing-seam metal runs 40 to 70 years against 30 to 50 for architectural asphalt, and it costs meaningfully more upfront, often close to double. Whether that is worth it comes down to how long you are staying in the house: spread over a multi-decade lifespan, the cost per year of service often looks a lot better than the number at the bottom of the quote.
Decking condition matters just as much on a metal job as it does on any replacement. Once the old roof is off, we can see the deck properly for the first time, and anything rotted or delaminated has to be replaced to code before the panels go on. We show you what we find and price it openly rather than covering it over.

What drives metal roofing cost
Roof size is the obvious factor, but pitch and complexity often matter more, the same as any roof. A steep roofline cut up with dormers, valleys and multiple planes takes far more staging, safety rigging and labor hours per square than a simple gable, and every additional transition is another seam detail that has to be flashed correctly.
Panel gauge and profile are the next lever. Heavier-gauge panels and more detailed standing-seam profiles cost more but hold up better over the decades, and we will walk you through what actually fits your roof and budget rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
Every estimate we give is free, written, and based on an actual inspection of your roof rather than a square-footage guess. If asphalt makes more sense for your situation, see our roof replacement page, because we would rather tell you that than sell you metal you do not need.

From Our Shop
Getting crew and panels to you
A full tear-off means a crew, a dumpster, and panel deliveries all arriving on schedule, so distance matters. We stage everything from North Plank Road in Newburgh: I-84 and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge for Dutchess County jobs in Wappingers Falls and Hyde Park, the Thruway heading north, and US 9W along the Hudson. Materials run the same routes the crew does.

Metal roofing: frequently asked questions
How long does a standing-seam metal roof last?
40 to 70 years is the typical range, well beyond architectural asphalt's 30 to 50. Actual lifespan depends on panel gauge and how well the details are flashed.
Is metal roofing worth the extra cost?
It depends on how long you are staying in the house. Spread over decades, the cost per year often compares well to asphalt, but the upfront price is meaningfully higher, and we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense for your situation.
Does metal roofing help with snow and ice dams?
Yes. The smooth panel surface sheds snow fast instead of holding it, which cuts down on the meltwater-and-refreeze cycle that causes ice dams on shingle roofs.
Is metal roofing noisy in the rain?
Not with a proper installation. Panels go over solid decking and underlayment just like a shingle roof, not open rafters, so rain noise is not the issue people expect.
Can you install metal roofing on any home?
Most roofs can take standing-seam metal, but very low-slope sections need a different approach. We will look at your roof and tell you plainly what fits.
