Roof Overlay (Cover Method) Construction Steps
1. Dismantling Existing Ridge Flashing
2. Installing Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)
It is made of modified asphalt roofing, which is said to have double the durability of regular asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is properly installed, there will be no leaks!
We will ensure it is securely attached to prevent it from blowing away.
3.Accessory Processing (Karukusa & Keraba)
The materials used for the accessories will be galvalume steel.
4.Main Construction (Asahi Fiberglass/Ridgeway)
Once the roofing is completed, we will install the necessary materials for fixing the ridge board, known as the “kanban.” There are two types of ridge boards: cedar and resin, and this time we used the resin type!
The resin type is expected to have three times the durability compared to the cedar type!
5.Ridge Board & Sealing at Various Locations
The nails and screws used for fixing will be made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust!
6.Cleaning
About the Roofing Material (Ridgeway)
The roofing material used is Ridgeway from Asahi Fiberglass.
Ridgeway comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Since it uses natural stone that is baked onto the surface, it is a roofing material that does not require painting, which helps reduce maintenance costs!
The use of fine natural stones on the surface means you won’t be troubled by rain noise.
Additionally, it is a lightweight roofing material, making it strong against earthquakes and providing seismic resistance.
* After installation, the surface decorative stones may fall off for about a week, but there is no issue with quality.

This time, we completed a roofing project with a vintage green finish, and it turned out exceptionally well!
The customer was very satisfied, and I was also very happy!
Thank you very much!

What is the roof overlay (cover method)?
The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost as it is and placing a new roof on top of it, effectively covering it.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since the roof is laid over, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”
Advantages of the overlay method
Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste material is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various advantages.
The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge cap, so compared to complete roof replacement, the cost is lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for more details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website).
Building materials used in structures constructed before 2004 may contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to demolish due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for demolition and waste disposal are also high. The overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.
Some may wonder, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses asbestos-containing materials?” but rest assured. As long as there is no destruction or crushing, it will not disperse into the air.
If you are unsure about the type of roof on your home, please feel free to consult us.
Additionally, it can be completed in a shorter time frame compared to painting or full roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
The psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment is also reduced.
When scaffolding is set up, there may be inconveniences such as difficulty in entering and exiting or opening windows. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.
Our company specializes in roofing work, and the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work we undertake. We are very grateful that we consistently have ongoing projects for roof overlay work.
