The housing here is older: the median home was built in 1979, and 52% of homes here were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Roofs that age tend to show worn flashing and tired shingles before they leak.
The weather adds to it. NOAA's storm records list 7 hail events and 8 damaging wind events in the area since 2015, and federal disaster declarations here include "Severe Storms And Flooding" on July 22, 2023. Call 24 hours a day to book an inspection.
Storm damage often starts small, such as a lifted shingle or a dented vent, and then lets water in. NOAA's storm records show 7 hail events and 8 damaging wind events in the area since 2015, with hail up to 1.75 inches. Hail reports within 15 km of Newburgh since 2000 put it in the Moderate band, and June is the peak month.
After a hard storm, call for an inspection before the next rain.
An older house usually means an older roof deck, older flashing and fewer layers of protection against water. The median home in Newburgh was built in 1979, and 52% were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Across the county the share is 57%.
If your home is from that era, call for an inspection and ask the written estimate to list the flashing, vents and decking it covers.
Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the eaves and pushes water under shingles. The 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the Montgomery Orange airport station show 44.2 inches of snow and about 138 freezing days a year, so our ice-dam risk rating here is High.
Look in the attic for stains or damp insulation after a thaw, and call for repair when you see them, before the next freeze.
Rules decide what a replacement has to include, so ask about them before work starts. In high ice-dam areas like this one, IRC R905.1.2 calls for ice-barrier underlayment. New York has no statewide roofing license, but New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties license home improvement contractors.
Look up any license at NYC DCWP or your county consumer affairs office, then call for a written estimate that names the permit and underlayment.
