Roof Overlay Construction Procedure
1. Removal of Existing Ridge Flashing and Snow Guards

2. Laying of Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)

The roofing used is Nisshin Kogyo/Kappa 23!
It is made of 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 properly installed, there will be no leaks!
We will securely attach it to prevent it from blowing away. [/chat]
3. Component Processing (Curly Patterns, Eaves, Valleys)

Before the main roofing installation, we will process components such as eaves, curly patterns, and valley metal!
The components used will be the same SGL steel plate as the horizontal panel roofing. [/chat]
4. Main Construction (Nichiha/Horizontal Panel Roof S)

After processing the components, we will install the horizontal panel roofing up to the ridge!
Once the roofing is completed up to the ridge, we will install a necessary material called a “nail board” to secure the ridge cap. There are types of nail boards made of cedar and resin, and this time we used a resin type!
The resin type is expected to have three times the durability of the cedar type! [/chat]
5. Ridge Cap Processing and Sealing at Various Locations

We will process and install the
ridge cap and ventilation ridge. We will thoroughly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.
We use stainless steel nails and screws that are resistant to rust!
6. Cleaning

We will clean up any debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly remove items like nails and metal scraps that could cause injuries. [/chat]
The roofing material used this time is Nichiha Corporation’s Yokodan Roof S.
The Yokodan Roof S comes with a 15-year paint film warranty, 20-year rust warranty, and 25-year hole warranty.
It is a high-performance insulated metal roof made from a combination of metal steel plates (high-durability painted Galvalume steel) and insulation materials (rigid polyurethane foam), along with aluminum laminated backing.
It is lightweight, earthquake-resistant, and provides excellent insulation performance throughout the year, achieving long maintenance due to its high durability.

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.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. It is also referred to as “overlapping roofing” since the roof is laid over another.
Advantages of the overlay method
Since we overlay a “new roof” on the “existing roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste is generated.
This is the biggest feature, leading to various benefits.
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 visit the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s website).
Some building materials used in structures built before 2004 contain asbestos. Because materials containing asbestos have a high environmental impact, demolition is also difficult, and the costs for both demolition and waste disposal are high. The roof overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.
Some of you 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 consult us.
Additionally, we can complete the work in a shorter time frame compared to painting or complete 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 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, but the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work we undertake. We are very grateful that we are continuously able to carry out roof overlay projects without interruption.
