- What if I am not filing a claim? We repair storm damage either way, priced the same.

The Difference
Why homeowners call SSKM after a storm
We document the damage properly
Photos, notes, and a written scope of exactly what the storm did, so you are not walking into the claims process with nothing but a bad feeling and a leak.
We know what storm damage looks like
Creased shingles, dented flashing, and split boots are not always obvious from the ground. Years of Hudson Valley roofs means we know where to look.
Straight answers, not a sales pitch
If it is a genuine repair, we say so. If it needs a full replacement, we explain why, in writing, so you can make the call with real information.
Watch For These
Signs you may have storm damage
- Shingles that are creased, lifted, or missing after a wind event
- Dents in gutters, flashing, or vent covers after hail
- A new leak or ceiling stain that shows up right after a storm
- Damage from a fallen branch or debris impact
- A sudden jump in granules collecting in the gutters

Our Process
How SSKM handles storm damage
- 01
Free damage inspection
We walk the roof and siding, checking for the kind of localized damage a storm actually causes, not just general wear.
- 02
Written documentation
You get a plain-language, written summary of what we found, with photos, that you can share with your insurance company.
- 03
The repair or replacement
Once you know your options, we do the work, matched to code and to what the roof or siding actually needs.
- 04
We stay reachable
If your insurer has follow-up questions about the damage we documented, we are available to help clarify what we found.
That is the whole process. If a storm has hit your roof or siding, we will come look at it and put the damage in writing.
Real Reviews
Rated 5.0★ by Hudson Valley homeowners
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.
Those reviews are real, and they are on Google. If you would like to be the next one, the inspection costs nothing.
Good to Know
Storm damage and insurance claims: what Hudson Valley homeowners should know
Documentation is what makes a claim go smoothly
An insurance company works from evidence, not a description over the phone. That is why we photograph the damage up close, note where it is and how it happened, and put it in a written summary you can hand directly to your adjuster. It does not replace their own inspection, but it gives your claim a clear, honest starting point instead of a guess.
Honest, on time, and the finished work speaks for itself.
What actually causes storm damage here
Wind is the most common culprit. A gust catching the edge of a shingle along a rake or ridge line can crease it invisibly from the ground, and a creased shingle fails eventually even if it looks fine today. Hail is less frequent here than in some parts of the country, but it does happen, and it dents soft metal, gutters, and vent covers before it ever touches a shingle. Heavy, wet snow load is the other one: enough weight on a roof, especially over a wide flat or low-slope section, can stress seams and flashing that were never tested that hard before.
None of these announce themselves clearly. That is exactly why a proper inspection after a storm, not just a look from the driveway, is what actually protects you.

Repair, replace, or file a claim: how to think about it
Not every bit of storm damage needs an insurance claim. A single damaged section that is a straightforward repair often costs less to just pay for directly than the hassle and potential premium impact of filing. Wider damage, especially anything affecting a large section of roof or multiple areas of siding, is usually where a claim makes more sense. We will not tell you which way to go financially, since that is your call, but we will tell you honestly what we found and what it would cost either way.
Still deciding? Tell us what the storm did and we will come look at it. The inspection is free and written down.

From Our Shop
Close when it counts
Storm calls are time-sensitive, and the shop's position helps. North Plank Road sits just off I-84 on Newburgh's north side: east over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge reaches Fishkill and the Route 9 corridor, US 9W runs the river towns, and NY 17K heads west. A damaged roof gets priority in the schedule, and short drives keep that realistic.
Good to Know
Storm damage & insurance claims: frequently asked questions
Do you help with the insurance claim process for storm damage?
Yes. We inspect the damage, document it with photos, and give you a written scope you can share with your insurance company. We are not a public adjuster and cannot negotiate your claim for you, but we help make sure the damage is documented clearly from the start.
How do I know if roof damage is from a storm or just wear?
Storm damage tends to be localized and sudden: creased or missing shingles after wind, dented soft metal after hail, or a new leak right after a storm. Wear is usually gradual and spread across the whole roof. We can tell you plainly which one we are looking at.
Is the storm damage inspection free?
Yes. We inspect the roof and give you a written summary at no cost and no obligation.
What if my insurance does not cover the full cost of repair?
That is between you and your insurer, but we will always give you an honest, itemized price so you know exactly what you are working with before deciding how to proceed.
Do you repair storm damage even if I am not filing an insurance claim?
Yes. Plenty of storm damage gets repaired without ever going through insurance, especially smaller repairs. We price it the same either way.
