Kawasaki City, SaiwaiWard is sure to be helpful for customers considering exterior wall siding, so please take a look!
The most important thing when considering exterior wall siding is “getting multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain at least 3 estimates from exterior renovation companies that cover Kawasaki City, Saiwai Ward!
Estimates and consultations are free!
We welcome multiple estimates!
What is the exterior wall cover method?
We will explain in detail the recommended points and precautions of the exterior wall cover method!
The exterior wall cover method is a construction process that overlays a new exterior wall on top of the existing exterior wall.
It is possible to overlay various types of walls such as ALC walls, ceramic siding, and mortar walls.
The exterior materials used in the exterior wall cover method are generally lightweight and durable metal siding.
While the costs are higher compared to exterior painting, it is a renovation method for exterior walls that has various benefits and is gaining attention year by year.
Why is the exterior wall cover method so popular?
Here are the “5 points” that have earned Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior wall cover method high praise!
Point 1 Super High Durability!!
Metal siding offers an overwhelmingly higher expected durability compared to exterior wall painting.
Available in Galvalume steel, SGL steel, and aluminum, metal siding comes in various types, and with aluminum, you can expect a durability of over 40 years!
Additionally, unlike ceramic siding or mortar exteriors, it does not crack or break, making its sturdiness one of its advantages!
If high-durability sealing materials are used, maintenance can be unnecessary for nearly 30 years!
Point 2 Improved Insulation!!
Cross-section of Metal Siding
The metal siding used in the exterior wall cover method has integrated insulation material.
Moreover, by installing furring strips before the metal siding installation to create a ventilation layer, insulation performance is significantly improved!
This enhancement in insulation is one of the major benefits of metal siding.
Point 3 Comprehensive Warranty for Peace of Mind!!
While many construction companies offer their own warranties for exterior wall painting, manufacturer warranties are generally not included.
Metal siding comes with solid manufacturer warranties, such as coating guarantees and hole guarantees, providing a high sense of security for long-term exterior renovations!
Point 4 Improved Waterproofing!!
With the exterior material being double-layered, it effectively prevents rainwater intrusion, significantly enhancing waterproofing.
Applying waterproof paper before installation further increases waterproofing performance!
Point 5 Improved Aesthetic Appeal!!
Various designs such as wood grain and tile patterns
Metal siding allows for a finish that resembles a brand-new construction, which cannot be achieved with exterior painting.
There are various designs available, ranging from simple styles to tile and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs that match the atmosphere and your preferences of the building!
Major manufacturers include “Aiji Industrial“, “Keimyuu“, “Nichihara“, and “Asahi Tostem“, each offering a wide range of types and designs of metal siding.
If you find a product of interest in the catalog, you can also request cut samples!
What to be cautious about when doing exterior wall cover work with metal siding?
Next, we will explain the “three points of caution” when performing exterior wall cover work using metal siding!
Caution 1 Few contractors can perform the work
There are significantly fewer contractors capable of performing the cover method with metal siding compared to exterior painting contractors.
Many inexperienced contractors exist, leading to a higher occurrence of troubles.
Since there is often a variation in estimated costs, to ensure a satisfactory construction, if you are considering the exterior wall cover method with metal siding, be sure to obtain estimates from three or more companies and carefully review the details!
Caution 2 Prone to dents and scratches
Metal siding can develop dents from impacts when objects hit it.
Additionally, being prone to scratches is one of its disadvantages.
If noticeable scratches occur and are a concern, it is possible to request repairs from a specialized repair contractor!
Caution 3 Long construction period
Exterior wall cover work can be considered one of the most extensive renovations in exterior remodeling.
While exterior painting typically takes about two to three weeks, exterior wall cover work can often take close to a month.
The long construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the disadvantages.

About the Costs of Exterior Wall Covering Work
This is a table of estimated costs for exterior wall cover work.
It serves as a cost estimate for performing the exterior wall cover method on a building area of 30 tsubo.
The cost of the exterior wall cover work will be determined by the calculation below.
Exterior wall area (㎡) × Siding unit price + Equipment removal and installation costs + Additional painting costs = Total amount
This will be the total.
| Material | Expected Durability (Years) | Cost Assuming 30 tsubo (150㎡) |
| Galvalume Steel | 30 to 35 years | Including Tax Approximately 2,000,000 yen (Siding unit price 11,000 yen/㎡~) |
| SGL Steel | 35 to 40 years | Including Tax Approximately 2,200,000 yen (Siding unit price 12,500 yen/㎡~) |
| Aluminum | 40 years or more | Including Tax Approximately 2,500,000 yen (Siding unit price 14,000 yen/㎡~) |
The amount will vary depending on the number of attached parts to be painted, the number of windows, and the equipment to be removed or installed.
This is just a rough estimate, so please feel free to contact us for a detailed quote, which is completely free of charge.
How to Choose a Siding Contractor
There are fewer contractors that handle exterior wall cover work compared to exterior painting contractors, so it may be difficult to find a reliable contractor, such as “where should I request?”
The most important thing in choosing a contractor and obtaining a quote is to always obtain multiple quotes!
For this reason, when requesting exterior wall cover work, let’s confirm the following four points.
1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate
2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare
3. Obtain multiple quotes from several contractors (at least three companies)
4. Confirm whether the contractor performs the exterior wall cover work in-house
By confirming the above four points, you will be able to choose a trustworthy contractor.
1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate
When obtaining an estimate for exterior wall cover work, let’s check the following items!
・Is the proposed new siding material suitable for your requirements?
Check whether materials that meet your requirements, such as durability and insulation, are being proposed!
Since there are various types of metal siding, such as cost-effective siding and insulation-focused siding, confirm whether the proposed siding meets your original requirements!
・Is the proposed installation method appropriate?
When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to create a ventilation layer between the existing exterior wall and the new exterior wall material using a method called “ventilation method.”
If you do not create a ventilation layer and directly attach it, moisture cannot escape, leading to mold or corrosion, and may result in peeling or lifting of the exterior wall material.
Check whether the proposed work is appropriate!
・Are the quantities and construction details described in detail?
If the content is vague, such as “exterior wall cover work 1 set,” it is difficult to understand the construction method and what the costs are for, making it hard to compare estimates.
Having clear unit prices and quantities for items like foundation water drainage and edge trim will provide peace of mind and may prevent issues from arising.
If there are items of concern that are not included in the estimate, check the reason for their exclusion!
・Check the auxiliary materials to be used!
Check not only the siding itself but also the types of detailed auxiliary materials, such as “type of furring strips,” “siding fasteners,” and “type of waterproof paper“!
For example, siding fasteners are screws, and the overall cost will vary between iron and stainless steel.
While iron may appear cheaper at first glance, stainless steel is resistant to rust and is the recommended fastener.
2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare
When choosing a contractor for exterior wall cover work, make sure to check for warranties.
Exterior wall cover work is one of the more expensive types of exterior renovations, so in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, be sure to confirm whether the company offers its own warranty!
If the contractor has a warranty period, they may provide free repairs within that period.
The warranty period varies by contractor and the specifics of the work, but a 5 to 10-year period is typical.
Additionally, some contractors offer after-sales service separate from warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has after-sales service.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always includes a warranty with exterior wall cover work.
We also provide after-maintenance services and send out annual DM, so if desired, inspections can be conducted every year.
3. Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)
When requesting exterior wall cover work, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.
The cost of the same repair can vary between contractors, and the warranties and after-sales services may differ as well.
Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.
To request your desired repair contractor at the best possible price, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, consider not only the costs but also the details of the plans, materials, and auxiliary supplies!
4. Confirm whether the company performs exterior wall cover work in-house
There are differences in costs between companies that handle the work in-house and those that outsource it to external companies, and issues such as miscommunication with external contractors can easily arise.
Moreover, if problems occur after construction, the response may be slow, or there may be no dealings with the external construction company, leading to potential troubles.
Being able to respond immediately when something happens is one of the reasons why companies that perform the work in-house are recommended!
