About Newburgh, Orange County
Newburgh sits on the west bank of the Hudson River in Orange County, about 60 miles north of New York City, where the land climbs steeply from the waterfront to a bluff. It is one of the state's richest 19th-century architectural cities, home to Washington's Headquarters (the first publicly owned historic site in the U.S.), the Vaux-and-Olmsted-designed Downing Park, the Greek Revival Dutch Reformed Church, and homes by architects like Alexander Jackson Davis and Calvert Vaux. The East End and Montgomery-Grand-Liberty Streets Historic Districts are packed with Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, and Victorian houses. Roofs of that age and complexity, exposed to Hudson Valley snow and freeze-thaw cycles, need careful, experienced work to stay sound.

Roofing a Historic Newburgh Home the Right Way
Siding, Weather Timing, and Serving Newburgh
Siding decisions in Newburgh depend a lot on the home. On a designated historic property, homeowners often want to preserve or match original profiles, so we take care to keep proportions and trim lines consistent rather than flattening a facade with a generic panel. On mid-century and newer homes off the bluff, durable insulated vinyl or fiber-cement siding makes sense for the climate. With roughly 37 inches of snow a year and January lows near 18°F, wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles are the real enemies of siding, so we focus on tight seams, solid flashing around windows, and proper moisture management behind the panels.
Timing matters in this microclimate. The best windows for a full roof or siding project are late spring through fall, when temperatures let sealants and adhesives set properly. That said, storms do not wait for good weather, and a wind-torn ridge or a leak over a plaster ceiling needs a fast, watertight response no matter the season. We handle emergency tarping and repairs year-round and then schedule the permanent fix once conditions allow.

Why Newburgh Homeowners Choose SSKM
Newburgh is a city of character, from the Victorian and Gothic homes stepping down toward the Hudson River bluff to the brick rowhouses that give the East End Historic District its distinctive streetscape. Older and historic homes like these reward a contractor who takes the time to understand how they were built, because the details matter: matching the lines of a steep older roof, respecting the proportions of a Victorian, and working carefully around the masonry and trim that make these houses what they are. That kind of work is exactly where hands-on experience counts, and Luis and Steven have spent more than 25 years working on the range of homes the Hudson Valley has to offer.
For Newburgh homeowners weighing who to trust with their roof, siding, or a larger project, the basics still matter most. SSKM Construction is licensed and insured, offers free estimates, and holds a 5.0-star rating across 48 reviews, so you can get a clear, no-pressure assessment of your home before you commit to anything. Whether you own one of the East End's historic properties or a more recent home elsewhere in the city, we start by listening to what you need and looking at what the house actually calls for.

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
Finding Us in Newburgh
Our shop is on North Plank Road in Newburgh, so most of the city is a short drive for us. I-84 runs just north of the city and I-87, the New York State Thruway, sits a short way west. NY 32, NY 17K, NY 207 and US 9W all run through or terminate here, which is why we can get to a leak call on the East End or out toward the Town of Newburgh line the same morning.

Newburgh Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on the historic homes in Newburgh's East End?
Yes. Many houses in the East End and Montgomery-Grand-Liberty Streets Historic Districts have steep, complex Victorian and Gothic Revival rooflines with slate and detailed flashing, and SSKM Construction handles repairs and replacements with those older roof systems in mind.
How do Newburgh winters affect my roof?
Newburgh sees up to about 37 inches of snow a year with January lows near 18 degrees, so ice dams and freeze-thaw cracking are real risks. We address ventilation, insulation, and flashing to keep meltwater from backing up under shingles.
Can you repair storm and wind damage?
Yes. Homes on Newburgh's bluff above the Hudson catch strong wind-driven rain and nor'easters. We inspect for lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and leaks after storms and make fast repairs to prevent interior water damage.
Do you replace siding as well as roofing?
We do both. Older Newburgh homes and brick rowhouses often need siding, trim, and flashing work alongside a roof, and handling them together keeps the whole exterior weather-tight.
We pull the permits our work needs and deal with the inspections. If you want to check the requirements yourself, Newburgh permits and inspections run through the City of Newburgh Building and Code Enforcement office: City of Newburgh Building and Code Enforcement.
