The Difference
Why Homeowners Call SSKM for Roof Repair
We Find the Actual Source
Water travels. A stain over the kitchen can come from a failure two rafter bays away, so we trace it back rather than patching the nearest suspicious spot and hoping.
Repairs Matched to the Roof
A repair only lasts if the materials and detailing match what is already up there. We match profile, exposure and flashing detail so the patch is not the next weak point.
Straight Answer on Repair or Replace
If a repair will genuinely buy you years, we will say so. If the roof is past the point where patching makes financial sense, we will say that too, with the reasoning.
Watch For These
Signs You Need Roof Repair
- Water stains on a ceiling or wall that appear or spread after heavy rain
- Shingle granules collecting in the gutters or washing out at the downspouts
- Shingles that are cracked, curled, lifted or missing after a wind event
- Daylight through the roof deck, or damp sheathing and insulation in the attic
- Ice building along the eaves every winter, or icicles hanging from the gutter line

Our Process
The SSKM Roof Repair Process
- 01
Leak Trace and Roof Inspection
We start where the water shows and work back up the roof, checking flashing, valleys, penetrations, fasteners and the deck itself. Attic access helps, because the underside often tells the story faster.
- 02
Written Scope and Price
You get the findings in plain language, what we recommend repairing, and a written price before anything starts. If we think the roof needs replacing rather than repairing, that goes in writing too.
- 03
The Repair
We complete the repair with materials matched to the existing roof, re-detailing the flashing or membrane properly rather than sealing over a failure with caulk.
- 04
Cleanup and Final Check
Debris and nails are cleared, the gutters are checked, and we walk the work with you so you know exactly what was done and why.

Roof Repair: What Hudson Valley Homeowners Should Know
Repair or Replace: How We Decide
This is the question most homeowners actually want answered, and it deserves a real answer rather than a sales pitch in either direction. The honest version depends on where the damage is, how old the roof is, and whether the same problem has appeared more than once.
Honest, on time, and the finished work speaks for itself.
The Repairs We See Most Around Here
Ice dam damage is the seasonal one. Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the meltwater runs down to the cold eave and refreezes, and the resulting ridge of ice backs water up under the shingles. The repair addresses the damage, but the lasting fix usually involves ventilation and insulation as well, which is why we look in the attic rather than only on the roof.
Storm and wind damage is the other common call. Gusts lift and crease shingles along an exposed ridge or rake edge, and a creased shingle will fail even if it looks intact from the ground. Flashing failures around chimneys and dormers, split pipe boots, and ponding or seam failures on flat and low-slope sections over porches and additions round out most of what we repair.

What Drives Roof Repair Cost
Access is the first factor. A steep, cut-up roof with multiple valleys and dormers takes more staging and more time than a simple gable, and that shows up in the price regardless of how small the repair itself is. The second is what we find once the affected area is opened up, because rotted decking has to be replaced to code and it is rarely visible until then.
The third is whether the repair is a genuine repair or a patch over a systemic failure. We price the former and tell you honestly when you are looking at the latter, because a cheap patch on a failing roof is money spent twice. Every estimate is free, written, and based on what we actually found on your roof.

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.

Roof Repair: Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you look at a leak?
Call us at (845) 549-7944 and we will get out to assess it. An active leak is treated as urgent, because the longer water sits in a roof assembly the more it costs to put right.
Can you repair the roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof still has service life, a correct repair is the sensible option. We will tell you plainly when a roof is past that point rather than selling you a patch that will not hold.
Do you repair flat and low-slope roofs?
Yes. Flat and low-slope sections over porches, dormers and additions are common here, and they use membrane systems rather than shingles. Seam and flashing repairs on those are a different skill set and we handle them.
What causes ice dams, and can a repair stop them?
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow that then refreezes at the cold eave. We repair the resulting damage, but a lasting fix usually needs the ventilation and insulation addressed as well, which is why we inspect the attic too.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. We inspect the roof and give you a written quote at no cost and no obligation.
