and emergency measures as well.

“Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen in Aoba-ku”
These topics will definitely be helpful for customers living in Aoba-ku who are considering
skylight replacements, so please take a look!
To conclude, the most important thing to consider when planning skylight work is
“multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain at least three estimates from skylight repair contractors covering Aoba-ku!
Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Aoba-ku
One reason why we can be entrusted with skylight repairs in Aoba-ku is that
“being a roofing company in Kanagawa Prefecture” is one of the reasons, but
“our unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has received high praise from many customers.
“cost, quality, and plans” are our absolute strengths,
1. Equipment Specialized in Exterior Renovation
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has prepared the following warehouses and material storage to provide low-cost, high-quality exterior renovations such as skylight installations.
We have established five bases for material storage and showrooms.
In-house Scaffolding Materials
We own the scaffolding materials necessary for temporary scaffolding required for skylight installations, allowing us to assemble scaffolding in-house.
By conducting scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can cut costs for scaffolding work and respond quickly in emergencies.
We have scaffolding materials for approximately 50 single-family homes!
Storage of Materials in Our Large In-house Warehouse
We store materials used for exterior renovations.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we can purchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us to respond quickly in emergencies!
In-house Waste Separation
During skylight construction, various waste materials such as roofing materials, glass, and wood are generated.
While most contractors dispose of them all together, separating and recycling waste materials can lead to significant cost reductions in waste disposal fees.
Showroom Dedicated to Exterior Renovations
In our showroom, not only can you have meetings, but you can also
directly check the actual roofing materials and colors.
You can also perform color simulations for exterior painting and check heat insulation properties using a heat insulation testing machine!
2. Complete in-house construction for skylight installation
One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is our complete in-house construction.
From inquiries to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten in a consistent manner, allowing us to keep costs down while providing high-quality skylight installations.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the same person is responsible for sales and construction management, smooth communication is possible.
We can fully handle everything from temporary scaffolding setup to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior covering work in-house!
Skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, so by performing it simultaneously with roofing replacement or covering work, we can significantly reduce costs!
3. Various permits obtained and skilled workers on staff
We have obtained permits for construction work and industrial waste collection and transportation!
We have nationally certified sheet metal workers and painting technicians on staff, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
We are also capable of handling large-scale roofing projects for factories and other facilities!
We have qualified asbestos supervisors and asbestos surveyors on staff, so we can handle asbestos-containing roofing materials and conduct preliminary surveys.
4. Warranty and Aftercare
The skylight replacement work comes with a warranty!
Aftercare is available every year, and we send out notification DM each year.
5. Flexible and Prompt Response
Our company is equipped to handle various troubles and situations related to skylights.
Even if you cannot access the roof at high altitudes, we can respond using a drone!
During rain leak investigations, we can also conduct surveys using a thermal imaging camera, which helps in identifying the cause of leaks!
We will respond according to your wishes.
We also accept emergency repairs for sudden leaks from skylights!
6. Human Resource Development
We are creating various roof models by ourselves to enhance our skills and conducting practical training.
Since different processing and techniques are required depending on the site, we regularly conduct skill improvement training so that each staff member can respond appropriately.
Subsidies and Grants That May Be Applicable for Skylight Construction in Ayase City補助金、助成金
In Ayase City, there are potential subsidies available when carrying out skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!
Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Conservation Renovation Subsidy
Eligible Persons
The eligible persons for this subsidy are owners of existing homes located in Kanagawa Prefecture who reside in those homes on a daily basis. The eligible homes must be residences where the owner themselves lives, regardless of whether they are single-family homes or apartments.
Eligible Construction and Conditions
To receive the subsidy, the following requirements must be met. First, it is necessary to target existing homes in the prefecture and carry out energy conservation renovation work using products such as windows or glass with specified insulation performance and insulation materials designated by the national government. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a pre-application must be submitted before starting the construction, with the condition that construction can only begin after receiving a grant decision. Eligible construction includes insulation renovations for windows, floors, walls, and ceilings.
Subsidy Amount
The maximum amount for this subsidy is up to 200,000 yen per residence. This is the total subsidy provided when eligible energy conservation renovation work is carried out, and no more than this amount can be received.
Subsidy Rate
The burden ratio for the subsidy is **one-third (approximately 33%) of the eligible construction costs**. However, even if the calculated amount based on the subsidy rate exceeds the maximum limit of 200,000 yen, the amount granted will be “up to the maximum limit.”
Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project
Eligible Persons
Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are the main targets for new construction or purchase of homes with high energy conservation performance, or for energy conservation renovations of existing homes. In the case of new construction, the builder or purchaser, and in the case of renovations, the contractor of the work is eligible for the subsidy.
Requirements
For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy conservation performance standards set by the national government, such as exceeding ZEH standards. For renovations, it is required to carry out work that improves the energy conservation performance of the home, such as insulation renovations or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and carry out the work within the specified period.
Subsidy Limit Amount
For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 1,600,000 yen depending on the performance classification of the house. For renovations, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 600,000 yen, depending on the nature of the work. In either case, even if multiple works are performed, the total subsidy cannot exceed this limit.
Subsidy Rate
This program does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of construction costs; instead, it offers a predetermined “fixed subsidy” based on the type of work and performance classification. Therefore, in effect, the government covers part of the construction costs.

Advanced Window Renovation Project
Eligible Participants
Homeowners of existing houses (single-family homes and apartment buildings) who are conducting insulation renovation work on windows and openings are eligible. The actual subsidy application process is carried out by registered “window renovation contractors” with the government, and the granted subsidy is fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on construction costs.
Requirements
Eligible works include window renovations aimed at improving insulation performance, such as installing interior windows, replacing exterior windows, and replacing glass in existing homes. It is necessary to use products that meet the insulation performance standards set by the government and to enter into a construction contract with a registered window renovation contractor. Additionally, the total subsidy amount must be 50,000 yen or more, and the work must start and be completed within the specified construction period.
Subsidy Limit Amount
The maximum subsidy is 2,000,000 yen per unit. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same house is limited to this maximum amount.
Subsidy Rate
The subsidy rate is approximately equivalent to half of the construction costs. The actual subsidy amount is set at a fixed rate based on the type of window (interior window, exterior window, glass), size, and insulation performance classification, resulting in a total that is approximately 50% of the construction costs.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Skylights
Advantages of Skylights
High Light Transmission
First, the advantage of skylights is their high light transmission.
When natural light comes into the room, it creates a sense of openness, making it feel pleasant.
Energy savings
This also contributes to high light transmission, allowing you to save on electricity costs due to the presence of natural light. As a result, the need to turn on electric lights during the day decreases, making it suitable for energy conservation.
Good ventilation
By installing a skylight, you can open and close it, improving ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow as well.
High privacy
In areas where houses are closely packed together, large windows can expose the interior of your home. However, with skylights, since they are installed on the roof, your privacy is maintained.
Disadvantages of skylights
Risk of leaks
The biggest concern when installing a skylight is the risk of leaks. Since it involves opening up the roof for installation, there is a certain risk of water leakage.
However, with proper installation and regular maintenance, the risk can be minimized significantly.
Regular maintenance is necessary
Skylights need maintenance every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem troublesome, it is recommended to do it regularly to avoid damage to the interior and wooden parts caused by leaks.
Noise from rain can be bothersome
Since skylights are installed directly on the roof, the sound of raindrops hitting the glass can easily be transmitted indoors. This can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.
However, this is not the case for all skylights. Choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation can reduce the noise of rain.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor
There are many skylight contractors in Ayase City, and you may be unsure which one to choose.
Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repairs, please check the following 5 points.
● Have extensive experience in skylight work
● Confirm if they can also handle roofing work
● Check for warranties and aftercare services
● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)
● Confirm if they perform roof renovations in-house
By checking these 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.
Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work
Skylight contractors often have websites showcasing their past projects.
Additionally, if they provide detailed explanations of repair work with photos, it can give you peace of mind as a reference when you request repairs.
If you are concerned about whether the contractor you are about to hire will respond adequately, choose one with extensive repair experience.
It can also be effective to refer to reviews on Google or review sites when looking for skylight contractors!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from requesting their services.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior work, so we receive many requests for skylight replacement work.
Confirm if They Can Handle Roofing Work
Since skylights are installed on roofs, roofing work is often involved as well.
If the contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roofing work, it may lead to problems such as leaks after construction or high costs for the work.
Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial dismantling of the roof and restoration, performing it together with roof overlay work or re-roofing can significantly reduce costs!
Our company specializes in roofing work, so we can propose the optimal plan for roofing work associated with skylight installation tailored to our customers’ needs.
Check for warranties and after-sales maintenance
When choosing a skylight contractor, let’s confirm the availability of warranties.
If a leak occurs after the skylight installation, having a leak warranty from the contractor ensures that repairs can be made at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer warranty periods are often confident in their work, making this a key criterion for selecting a contractor!
Warranty periods vary by contractor and the nature of the work, but typically range from 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.
Moreover, some contractors offer after-sales services in addition to warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties andafter-sales services.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for after-sales maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide services free of charge.
Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)
When requesting skylight installation, be sure to get estimates from multiple contractors.
Even for the same repair or replacement work, the costs can vary between contractors, as well as the warranties and after-sales services offered.
Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.
To request your preferred contractor at a lower price, it is essential to obtain estimates from several contractors.
When comparing estimates, consider not only the cost but also
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality of glass, etc.”
“Confirmation of the process”
and make a detailed comparison! If the quality of auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!
Check if the contractor performs the work in-house
There are various construction methods for skylight repair plans, including full replacement, roof overlay (cover method), and partial repairs!
The plan details will vary depending on the actual state of deterioration and the customer’s wishes.
If you choose a contractor that completely outsources skylight repair work, they may lack knowledge and experience, leading to proposals for repairs in the wrong areas or unnecessary work. There are cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested to replace the skylight, which incurs higher expenses, even though partial repairs would suffice.
Additionally, since the contractor will need to investigate and then request a subcontractor, both time and costs will increase.
By having knowledge and experience and performing the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.
Moreover, contractors that outsource work may have delayed responses in emergencies or issues after construction, which is one of the disadvantages.
