- Aging roofs on the large Victorian houses along Highland Avenue and the older housing near downtown
- Wind exposure across a city that averages roughly 520 feet of elevation, rising toward 740 feet at its northern boundary
- Ice damming at the eaves after a thaw, driven by snow that sits longer on higher ground
- Flashing failures where steep Victorian roofs meet chimneys, dormers and wall transitions

About Middletown, Orange County
Middletown is the largest city in Orange County, New York, with a population of 30,345 at the 2020 census, and it sits in the western Hudson Valley near the Wallkill River and the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains. Its elevation is the detail that matters most for roofing: the city averages about 520 feet, rising to roughly 740 feet at its northern boundary and dropping to about 460 feet at the southern edge.
The city grew hard through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a railroad hub, and that period still defines much of the housing stock. Highland Avenue carries some of the largest Victorian houses in the city, several of which are now in institutional use. Downtown holds several historic churches, including the First Congregational Church, whose 1872 building has the highest spire in the city. Hillside Cemetery was laid out by Calvert Vaux, the same architect behind much of the region’s designed landscape.

Roofing From Highland Avenue Victorians to Newer Builds
Siding, Wind Exposure, and Serving Middletown
Siding in Middletown runs the same split as the roofs. On the older Victorian housing, wood clapboard and shake are often original or close to it. Fiber-cement has become the practical middle ground on those homes, because it resists rot and insects, holds paint far longer than wood, and can be milled to mimic wood grain convincingly, while carrying a 30-plus-year lifespan through exactly the freeze and thaw swings this elevation produces.
On newer construction, vinyl is usually the value choice, and modern insulated versions add a real R-value boost against a Middletown winter. Its weakness is impact resistance in deep cold, where a stray branch or a ladder can crack a brittle panel, and that is worth knowing before choosing it for an exposed elevation.
Whatever the material, what actually decides the outcome is the layer behind it. We check the sheathing and the water-resistive barrier before new siding goes up, because covering rotted sheathing with new panels buys you a good-looking wall and the same problem two years later.
Great work, fair price, and they showed up when they said they would.
Why Middletown Homeowners Choose SSKM
Middletown is the biggest city in Orange County and it has no shortage of contractors passing through. What we offer is the opposite of that: a family-run company that has been working across the Hudson Valley for more than 25 years, where the owners, Luis and Steven, are the people who show up and the people you deal with from the estimate through to the final walkthrough.
Because we self-perform roofing, siding, framing, decks, remodeling and painting, a Middletown project that turns out to involve more than the roof does not become your job to coordinate. If we find rotted sheathing behind the siding or structural work under a failing roof, the same company handles it.
Estimates are free, written, and based on an inspection of your actual roof or walls. If a repair will buy you years, we will tell you that instead of quoting a replacement.

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.
Getting There
Getting to Middletown From Our Shop
Middletown is west of us on I-84, out toward where the interstate meets NY 17, the future I-86. NY 17M and NY 211 run right through the city and US 6 parallels I-84 to the south, so we can reach the Highland Avenue neighborhoods and the newer housing toward the Wallkill on the same trip.

Middletown Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on Middletown’s older Victorian homes?
Yes. Middletown grew as a railroad hub through the late 1800s and early 1900s, and Highland Avenue in particular carries some of the largest Victorian houses in the city. Those roofs are steep and full of transitions, which is a different job from a modern gable, and we price and detail them accordingly.
Does Middletown’s elevation really affect my roof?
It does. The city averages around 520 feet and rises to roughly 740 feet at its northern boundary, which means more wind exposure and snow that sits longer than it does closer to the river. Wind creases shingles along ridges and rake edges, and lingering snow drives the freeze and thaw cycling behind ice dams.
Can you handle storm damage in Middletown?
Yes. Call (845) 549-7944 and we will get out to assess it. Wind damage in particular is often not visible from the ground, because a creased shingle can look intact and still fail, so we inspect the roof itself.
Do you serve the whole Middletown area?
We serve Middletown and the wider Hudson Valley across Orange, Dutchess, Putnam and Sullivan Counties. SSKM Construction is based in Newburgh, so Middletown is well within our normal working area.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We inspect the roof or the siding and give you a written quote at no cost and no obligation.
We pull the permits our work needs and deal with the inspections. If you want to check the requirements yourself, Middletown permits and inspections are handled by the city, and current requirements are listed on the City of Middletown official site.
