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.

About Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County
Poughkeepsie sits on the Hudson River in western Dutchess County, roughly 75 miles north of Manhattan, rising from the riverfront to its highest point at 380-foot College Hill. The city is defined by landmarks like the Walkway Over the Hudson, a restored 1889 railroad bridge reopened as a pedestrian park in 2009, the 1930 Mid-Hudson Bridge, and the Bardavon 1869 Opera House. Its seven historic districts, including Union Street, Academy Street, and Garfield Place, are rich with Victorian and Gilded Age homes. The region's humid continental climate brings cold winters that regularly dip below zero and exposure to nor'easters, so the older, ornate roofs across these neighborhoods need durable, well-maintained systems to hold up.

Good to Know
What Poughkeepsie's Victorian and Gilded Age homes need
Siding, seasonal strategy, and serving Poughkeepsie
Older Poughkeepsie homes frequently carry wood clapboard or shingle siding that has weathered decades of humid summers and hard winters. Some owners want to keep and restore that original look; others are ready for low-maintenance insulated vinyl or fiber-cement that stands up better to the wet-cold cycle. Either way, the work behind the siding is what protects the house. We pay close attention to flashing around windows and at the transition to the foundation, and to a proper drainage plane, so wind-driven rain off the river valley cannot get trapped in the wall.
Because the winters here are so wet and cold, we plan larger projects for the warmer months when materials cure reliably, and we keep the schedule realistic around the region's snow. When a storm does damage a roof mid-winter, we respond quickly with tarping and temporary repairs to stop interior damage, then complete the lasting repair when the weather cooperates.
SSKM Construction Corp serves Poughkeepsie and nearby Dutchess County neighborhoods on both sides of the river. Backed by 25-plus years of experience and insurance in place, we offer free estimates and straight answers for any roofing or siding project in the city.

Getting started on your Poughkeepsie project
Poughkeepsie brings together a lot of what makes Dutchess County homes interesting, from the neighborhoods around College Hill to the Victorian and Gilded Age historic districts that reflect the city's long history along the Hudson. Homes from those eras, and the newer ones built around them, each ask for a slightly different approach, and the first step is always the same: taking a real look at what you have and what you want to do with it. When you reach out to SSKM, we come out, walk the property, and give you a free, straightforward estimate so you can plan with real numbers instead of guesswork.
That honest starting point is what most Poughkeepsie homeowners are after, whether the job is a roof replacement, new siding, a deck for a home near the Walkway Over the Hudson, or an interior remodel. With more than 25 years of experience and a 5.0-star rating on Google, Luis and Steven focus on telling you plainly what the house needs and what it does not, so the project starts on solid footing and there are no surprises down the line. Getting started is as simple as a conversation and a look at your home.

Good to Know
Poughkeepsie roofing: frequently asked questions
Do you service the Victorian homes in Poughkeepsie's historic districts?
Yes. The Union Street, Academy Street, and Garfield Place districts have Victorian and Gilded Age homes with steep, detailed roofs, and SSKM Construction repairs and replaces those older roof systems with care for their design.
How bad are ice dams in Poughkeepsie?
With a humid continental climate and winter lows frequently below zero, ice dams and snow load are common concerns. We focus on ventilation, insulation, and flashing so snowmelt drains instead of backing up under shingles.
Do you handle storm and nor'easter damage in Poughkeepsie?
Yes. Poughkeepsie averages about 44 inches of precipitation a year and gets hit by nor'easters. We inspect after storms for lifted shingles and flashing leaks and make repairs before water reaches the interior.
Can you do siding along with the roof in Poughkeepsie?
We do. Many older Poughkeepsie homes need siding, trim, and flashing updated together with the roof, and combining the work keeps the full exterior sealed against Hudson Valley weather.
We pull the permits our work needs and deal with the inspections. If you want to check the requirements yourself, Poughkeepsie permits and inspections are handled by the city, and current requirements are listed on the City of Poughkeepsie official site.
