The Difference
Why Homeowners Choose SSKM for a Full Replacement
We Strip to the Deck
A tear-off is the only way to see and repair the surface your new roof depends on. We do not lay new shingles over old problems.
The Details That Fail First
Valleys, chimneys, dormers and penetrations are where roofs leak. Those get re-detailed properly, not sealed over and hoped for.
No Surprise Change Orders
Decking damage is the usual wild card. We show you what we find, explain it, and price it openly rather than after the fact.
Watch For These
Signs You Need Roof Replacement
- The roof is at or past the age the shingles were rated for
- Granule loss and curling showing across several different slopes
- Leaks that keep reappearing in new places after previous repairs
- Sagging along a ridge or between rafters, or soft spots underfoot
- You are planning to sell, and a tired roof is the first thing buyers price down

Our Process
The SSKM Roof Replacement Process
- 01
Inspection and Honest Recommendation
We inspect the roof and the attic and tell you whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement. If a repair will genuinely buy you years, we will say so.
- 02
Written Scope, Materials and Price
You get the material options explained in service-life terms, the full scope in writing, and a firm price before anything begins.
- 03
Tear-Off and Deck Repair
The old roof comes off, the deck is inspected, and anything rotted or delaminated is replaced to code before the new system goes on.
- 04
Rebuild, Cleanup and Walkthrough
Ice barrier, underlayment, shingles or panels and all flashing go on in the right order. We clear the site, sweep for nails, and walk the finished roof with you.

Roof Replacement: What Hudson Valley Homeowners Should Know
Tear-Off or Overlay
You will occasionally be offered an overlay, meaning new shingles laid straight over the existing layer. It is cheaper and faster, and there are narrow cases where it is reasonable. In most cases it is a false economy, because it hides the deck at the exact moment you have the access to inspect and repair it.
Professional crew from start to finish. The job site was spotless every single day.
What Happens to the Decking
Once the old roof is off, the deck is exposed and we can see it properly for the first time. Rot around a chimney, delaminated plywood under an old leak, or boards that have softened where a valley drained badly all become visible at that point and all have to be replaced to code before anything goes back on.
This is the single most common source of change orders in roofing, and it is why we say plainly that decking condition is the wild card in any replacement quote. We tell you what we find, show you, and price the repair rather than quietly covering it over.

What Drives Roof Replacement Cost
Roof size is the obvious factor, but pitch and complexity often matter more. A steep roof 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 detail that has to be flashed correctly.
Material choice is the next lever, and the honest framing is a service life question rather than a price question. Architectural asphalt carries a manufacturer rating in the 30 to 50 year range. Standing-seam metal runs 40 to 70 years and costs meaningfully more. If you are staying in the house long term, the cost per year of service often tells a different story than the number at the bottom of the quote.
Every replacement estimate we give is free, written, and based on an actual inspection of your roof rather than a square-footage guess. If we think the roof can be repaired instead, see our roof repair page, because we would rather tell you that than sell you a replacement you do not need yet.

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 Replacement: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in 1 to 3 days, weather permitting. Steep or complex roofs and any significant decking repair can add time, and we tell you that up front.
Do I have to replace the whole roof, or can you repair it?
If the damage is localized and the roof still has service life, a repair is usually the sensible option and we will tell you so. Replacement makes sense when failures are age-related and appearing across multiple slopes.
Should I get a tear-off or an overlay?
We recommend a full tear-off in almost every case. An overlay is cheaper up front but hides the deck at exactly the moment you could inspect and repair it, and the underlayment and ice barrier cannot be replaced.
Asphalt or metal?
Architectural asphalt carries a manufacturer rating in the 30 to 50 year range and suits most homes here. Standing-seam metal runs 40 to 70 years, sheds snow exceptionally well and costs meaningfully more. We will walk you through which makes sense for your house and how long you plan to stay.
What if you find rotted decking?
We show you, explain the extent, and price the repair before proceeding. Rotted or delaminated decking has to be replaced to code, and it is rarely visible until the old roof is off.
