and more

If you live in Aoba-ku, Yokohama and are considering a skylight replacement,
this information will definitely be helpful, so please take a look!

To conclude, the most important thing when considering skylight work is
“getting multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain estimates from at least three skylight repair companies that serve Aoba-ku, Yokohama!

Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama


One reason why we are entrusted with skylight repairs in Aoba-ku, Yokohama
is that “Kakeru Koumuten is a roofing company in the Tokyo area,”
but we also have “initiatives in skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
, which has received high praise from many customers.

In skylight replacement work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama,
“cost, quality, and plans” are our absolute strengths,
and we would be grateful if you could compare them with estimates from other companies.
We are confident, so we welcome price comparisons.

1. Equipment Specialized in Exterior Renovation

At Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., we have prepared the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide low-cost, high-quality exterior renovations such as skylight installation.
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 installation, allowing us to set up scaffolding in-house.
By performing scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can reduce scaffolding costs 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, enabling 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.

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 person in charge does not change, whether it’s the sales representative or the construction management representative, smooth communication is possible.

We can fully handle everything from the installation of temporary scaffolding to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior covering work in-house!

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, it can be significantly more cost-effective when done simultaneously with roof replacement or covering work!

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 such as those for factories!
Qualified asbestos supervisors and asbestos surveyors are also on staff, allowing us to handle asbestos-containing roofing materials and conduct pre-investigations.

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 places, we can respond using a drone!
During leak investigations, we can also use 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 to enhance our skills and conducting practical training.
Since different sites require various processing and techniques, we regularly conduct skill enhancement training for all staff members to ensure they can respond effectively.

Possible subsidies and grants for skylight construction in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

In Aoba-ku, Yokohama, there are potential subsidies available when carrying out skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!

Child-rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Participants

Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are eligible for new construction or purchase of energy-efficient homes, or energy-saving renovations of existing homes. For new construction, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor who orders the work is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency standards set by the government, such as ZEH standards. For renovations, it is required to carry out work that improves the energy efficiency of the home, such as insulation upgrades or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and complete the work within the specified period.

Maximum Subsidy Amount

For new construction, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 1,600,000 yen, depending on the performance category of the home. For renovations, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 600,000 yen, depending on the content of the work. In either case, even if multiple works are carried out, the total subsidy cannot exceed this maximum amount.

Subsidy Rate

This project does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of the construction cost; instead, a predetermined “fixed subsidy” is provided based on the content of the work and performance category. Therefore, in effect, the government bears part of the construction cost.

For more details, please see here!

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Owners of existing homes (single-family homes and apartment buildings) who are carrying out 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 subsidies are fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on construction costs.

Requirements

The eligible work includes window renovation 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.

Maximum Subsidy Amount

The maximum subsidy is 2 million yen per household. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same residence will be up to this maximum amount.

Subsidy Rate

The subsidy rate is approximately half of the construction cost. The actual subsidy amount is set at a fixed rate based on the type of window (inner window, outer window, glass), size, and insulation performance category, resulting in a total that is about 50% of the construction cost.

[Meguro-ku] Housing Renovation Fund Subsidy

In Meguro-ku, there is a program that subsidizes part of the renovation construction costs for residents (prior application required). The requirements and necessary documents for application vary depending on the type of subsidy, so please refer to the brochures for each type for details.

Customer Feedback

Advantages and Disadvantages of Skylights

Advantages of Skylights

High Light Transmission


First, the advantage of skylights is their high light transmission.
When natural light enters the room abundantly, it creates a sense of openness, making it feel pleasant.

Energy Saving


This is also related to the high light transmission, as having natural light allows you to save on electricity bills. Since you will use less electric lighting during the day, it is conducive to energy saving.

Good Ventilation


By installing a skylight, you can open and close it, which improves ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow as well.

High Privacy


In areas with closely spaced houses, installing large windows can expose the interior of your home. In such cases, skylights, being installed on the roof, help maintain privacy.

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 inevitably some risk of water leakage.

However, with proper installation and regular maintenance, the risk can be minimized significantly.

Regular Maintenance Required


Skylights need maintenance approximately every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem bothersome, it is recommended to perform it regularly to avoid damage to the interior and wooden parts caused by leaks.

Noise from Rain


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 strongly felt with all skylights. By choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation, the sound of rain can be reduced.

Background to the Construction
Due to cracks in the skylight glass, we received a request to replace the skylight glass along with the roof overlay work.

Skylight Glass Replacement Work – Construction Procedure

1. Remove the surrounding materials of the skylight

First, we will remove the cover materials and securing materials around the skylight. These materials will be reused, so we will take them off carefully.

2. Protection

We will protect the area around the skylight indoors.
This is to ensure that no debris falls inside.

3. Removal of Existing Glass

Next, after removing the cover materials, we will take out the existing glass.

4. Installation of New Glass

Once the existing glass is removed, we will install the new glass. We will be careful to ensure that the glass does not break during installation, just as we were during removal.

5. Waterproofing Treatment

When replacing the glass of the skylight, waterproofing treatment may be necessary.
We will perform waterproofing around the glass using butyl tape and other materials.

6. Restoration of Materials and Sealing

We will reattach the covers and fasteners that held the glass in place.
It is important to confirm that the hardware is securely fastened, as not following the appropriate installation method for the skylight can lead to leaks.
We will perform waterproofing treatment around the frame with sealing.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

There are many skylight contractors in Tokyo, and it can be confusing to decide which one to choose.

Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repair, let’s 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)

● Confirm if they perform roof renovations in-house

By checking the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.

Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work

Skylight contractors often have websites where they showcase their work experience.

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 properly, choose one with extensive repair experience.

It can also be effective to refer to reviews on Google and 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 hiring them.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior construction, 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 leaks after installation or high construction costs, resulting in potential troubles.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial dismantling of the roof or restoration of the roof, performing roof overlay work or re-roofing at the same time can significantly reduce costs!

Our company specializes in roofing work, so we can propose the optimal plan tailored to your needs for roofing work associated with skylight installation.

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 done free of charge, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer warranty periods can be seen as confident in their work, making it a criterion for selecting a contractor!

Warranty periods vary by contractor and the nature of the work, but it is generally set between 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 and after-sales services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for after-sales maintenance, allowing for inspections every year.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide support free of charge.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)

When requesting skylight work, be sure to get estimates from multiple contractors.

Even for the same repair or replacement work, the repair costs may vary by contractor, as well as warranties and after-sales services.

Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.

To request your desired repair contractor at a lower price, it is essential to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

When comparing estimates, consider not only the costs, 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 processes are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!

Check if the work is done 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 construction. There are cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested costly projects like skylight replacement, even though partial repairs would suffice.

Additionally, since they need to investigate and then request subcontractors, both time and costs can increase unnecessarily.
By having the knowledge and experience to perform the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction that keeps costs down.

Moreover, with contractors that outsource completely, one of the disadvantages is that response times during emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, can be significantly delayed.
