Interior Restoration Work Process in Shibuya, Tokyo

1. Protection and Partial Demolition

We protect areas that will not be worked on with tape and sheets to prevent dirt and scratches! Next, we will proceed with partial demolition!

2. Pest and Rot Prevention Treatment

We apply anti-termite and anti-rot agents to the wooden parts to prevent termite damage and wood decay!

It is recommended to apply pest prevention treatment under the floor every 10 years!

3. Substrate Installation Work

We will build a wooden framework to install gypsum boards and plywood!

4. Insulation Installation

 

We will install insulation! Insulation helps to reduce the transfer of outside heat and cold into the room, preventing condensation and mold growth. It also improves heating and cooling efficiency and enhances the indoor environment.

5. Skylight Sealing and Gypsum Board Installation

 

We will install the gypsum board! We will install it flat so that wallpaper can be applied, and we will also apply putty to eliminate any unevenness.

What is Gypsum Board

It is a board made of a white powder (gypsum) that hardens when mixed with water and becomes hard when dried.
It is commonly used as a material for walls and ceilings and has fire-resistant properties.

6. Wallpaper Installation

 

Finally, we will apply the wallpaper!
We will check the alignment with the existing parts and install it to minimize the visibility of repair marks.

Guidelines for Interior Renovation

1. Wallpaper (Cross) Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Wallpaper deteriorates depending on usage frequency and environment, so it is advisable to consider replacement every 10 to 15 years. Especially in areas with high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms, or in places with strong sunlight, fading, dirt, and mold growth may occur more quickly.

2. Flooring Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Flooring can show signs of wear and scratches, so it is good to consider renovation every 10 to 15 years. Particularly in households that frequently move heavy furniture or have pets, wear and tear can progress more quickly. It is important to not only repair the surface of the flooring but also check the condition underneath and renovate as necessary.

3. Toilet Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    The general guideline for toilet replacement is about every 10 years.

4. Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Kitchens and bathrooms are used frequently, so the equipment may become outdated or deteriorate. In particular, sinks, stoves, and bathtubs can deteriorate quickly, so it is advisable to consider renovation every 10 to 20 years. Additionally, replacing with the latest equipment can improve usability and energy efficiency.

5. Lighting and Outlet Renovation

  • 10 to 20 years
    Replacing lighting fixtures and outlets is generally done when they look old or their functionality decreases. Incorporating the latest LED lighting and smart features can enhance convenience and energy efficiency.

6. Door and Window Renovation

  • 15 to 20 years
    Consider door and window renovation when you notice difficulty in opening and closing or a decrease in insulation performance. Particularly, replacing with insulation materials or double-glazed windows can significantly improve energy efficiency.

7. Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Renovation

  • 10 to 15 years
    Air conditioning and heating devices may lose performance after about 10 years, so it is recommended to replace or maintain them every 10 to 15 years. Air conditioners, in particular, tend to accumulate dirt in filters and interiors, leading to decreased efficiency.

8. Overall Renovation (Complete Interior Update)

  • 20 to 30 years
    Renovating the entire interior of the house (walls, flooring, ceilings, equipment, etc.) is typically done every 20 to 30 years.

Points to Consider When Deciding on Renovation Timing

Changes in Lifestyle

It is good to create opportunities to review the interior according to changes in family structure or work and hobbies.

Equipment or Functionality Issues

For example, if heating and cooling are less effective, or if the usability of the kitchen or bathroom has declined, these are signs that it may be time for renovation.

Appearance and Comfort

If dirt, scratches, or fading become noticeable, or if you feel that the interior has become outdated, it may be time to consider renovation.
