[Ota-ku, Tokyo] | Roof Renovation | Skylight Installation with Super Galtect! Roof Replacement Involving Removal

BEFORE


AFTER


Hello!
We are Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior wall painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture!
This is a case study of a roof renovation in Ota-ku, Tokyo.
The current roof renovation involves the removal of a skylight and the replacement of the existing mortar tiles with Super Galtect roofing!
Roof replacement work means dismantling and removing the existing roof and re-covering it with a new roof,
which is a roofing project.

Additionally, switching from tiles to a metal roof significantly reduces the weight of the roof, enhancing seismic resistance.
The weight of the Super Galtect used this time is one-tenth that of the tiles!

Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.

Background to the Work

●Inquiry Details
We received the following inquiry from a customer living in Ota-ku, Tokyo.
・Rainwater leakage has occurred from the skylight, and since no roof work has been done before, they are considering a complete roof renovation.
・They would like a roofing solution that minimizes future maintenance.
・If there is still a risk of rain leakage from the skylight, they would like it removed.
・Since they saw that your company can handle everything from the installation of temporary scaffolding to the roofing work, they would like to request a quote, even though it will be a comparative estimate.

●Proposal Details
There was a leak from the skylight, and since the existing roofing material is no longer in production, partial removal of the skylight was not possible.
Additionally, the customer expressed a desire to make this the last roof renovation, so we proposed a complete roof replacement.
The existing tiles have high thermal insulation properties, and using roofing materials with lower insulation would decrease the indoor insulation compared to before the work.
Therefore, we proposed the Super Galtect, which excels in both thermal insulation and durability.
Super Galtect has top-class insulation and is one-tenth the weight of tiles.
We also proposed auxiliary materials (roofing and ridge base) that match the durability of Super Galtect, and we received compliments such as, “The plan is reasonable and more affordable than other companies,” which led to us being entrusted with the work!

Roof Replacement Construction Procedure

1. Demolition of Existing Roofing Material

We will dismantle the existing roofing material! After removing the ridge tiles, we will dismantle the mortar and flat tiles. After dismantling the tiles, we will also remove the wood that is holding the remaining tiles.

2. Removal of Skylights


In parallel with the roof demolition work, we will also carry out the skylight demolition work. Since there is a possibility of debris falling indoors, we will dismantle the skylight after protecting the interior!

3. New Sheathing Installation


After dismantling the existing roofing materials, we will process and install new sheathing to fit the dimensions!

4. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)


Next, we will install the roofing sheet (waterproof sheet)! The roofing used is Tajima Roofing/New Liner Roofing!
This underlayment boasts the highest quality, unmatched in waterproofing and durability. By sandwiching the modified asphalt layer between non-woven fabric and base paper, it fully exhibits the inherent performance of modified asphalt.
The expected durability is about 30 years!

5. Custom Fabrication (Curlicue & Eaves)


Before the main roof construction, we will process and install components such as eaves and decorative elements!
The components used are made of SGL steel plate.

6. Main Construction (Aiji Industry / Super Galtect)


After processing the components, we will install the Galtect main roof up to the ridge! After processing the components, we will install the Galtect main roof up to the ridge!
The fasteners used for the Galtect main roof are genuine stainless steel renovation screws from Aiji Industry!
Once the roof is completed up to the ridge, we will install the necessary materials to secure the ridge cap, known as the “kanban.” We offer three types of kanban: cedar, resin, and galvalume steel, and this time we used galvalume steel!
Galvalume steel is expected to have three times the durability compared to cedar! Unlike resin or cedar, it does not crack, providing peace of mind!

 

Our original integrated waste board made of galvalume steel for the ridge base is highly durable, offers strong fastening, and has excellent wind resistance! Even if rainwater enters from the ridge, it has a mechanism to discharge rainwater to the outside, ensuring high waterproofing performance! It is perfect for the ridge base of Super Galtect!

7. Ridge Cap Processing and Sealing at Various Locations


We will process and install the

ridge cap. To enhance waterproofing, we will install a face plate on the inside of the ridge! We will thoroughly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.
The screws used for fixing are made of rust-resistant stainless steel with waterproof packing!

 

Unlike nails, screws with packing are less likely to come loose and securely fix the ridge cap to the purlin!

 

Although it is not visible after construction,
installing a face plate on the inside of the ridge cap enhances waterproofing!
It firmly protects the ridge, which is a critical part of the roof.

8. Cleaning


We will clean up the debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly carry this out as nails and metal scraps can lead to injuries. Additionally, we will wipe off any footprints left on the roof to keep it clean.

About Roofing Materials

The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry.
The Super Galtect comes with a manufacturer warranty of 15 years for the coating and 25 years for perforation.
Our company also provides a 10-year construction warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates steel plate and insulation.
When installed, insulation is applied even to the parts where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with a highly heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and warm winter experience.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is lightweight compared to other roofing materials, which reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry is the most frequently used in our construction achievements, gaining significant attention!
