Hello!
I am Yamanaka from Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture!
This is a case study of exterior renovations in Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and this project involves a roof replacement (Alma)!
We implemented measures against leaks caused by the roofing work!
On this page, I will explain the actual results of the work carried out by Kakeru Koumuten!
Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.
Roof Replacement Construction Procedure
1. Dismantling Existing Roofing Materials
2. Installing New Sheathing
3. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)
It is made of a delayed adhesive modified asphalt roofing material, which is said to have double the durability of regular asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is solid, there will be no leaks!
We will ensure it is securely installed to prevent it from blowing away.
4. Custom Fabrication (Karakusa, Keraba, Valley)
The materials used for the custom pieces will be galvalume steel.
4. Main Construction (Nichihara/Alma)
Once we have installed up to the ridge, we will set up the necessary materials to secure the ridge board, known as the kanban. There are types of kanban made from cedar and resin, and this time, due to budget considerations, we used cedar!
5. Ridge Cap Processing and Sealing
We will process and install a component called rain stop flashing along the wall edges.
We use stainless steel nails and screws that are resistant to rust!
6. Cleaning
About Roofing Materials
The roofing material used is Nichiha’s Aruma.
Aruma comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Nichiha’s Aruma excels in finish, durability, sound insulation, and wind resistance. It is lightweight compared to other roofing materials, which reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
Since it uses natural stone that is baked on the surface, it is a roofing material that does not require painting, thus reducing maintenance costs!
The use of fine natural stones on the surface means you won’t be troubled by rain noise.

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 is generated.
This is its biggest feature, leading to various advantages.
The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge caps, so compared to complete roof replacement, the cost is lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s 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 in your home, please feel free to consult us.
Additionally, we can complete the work in a shorter time frame compared to painting or re-roofing. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost more affordable.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or being unable to open windows. Being able to return to your normal life in a short period is certainly a significant advantage.
Our company specializes in roofing work, and the roof overlay (cover method) is the most frequently performed service we offer. We are very grateful that we have been continuously engaged in roof overlay (cover method) projects without interruption.
