Kanagawa Prefecture | Kohoku-ku, Yokohama | O's Residence: Roof renovation and leak prevention work completed!

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 an exterior renovation project in Kohoku-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and this project involves a roof overlay (cover method) using Super Galtect!
We implemented leak prevention measures through 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.

1. Removal of Existing Ridge Cap and Snow Guards

1. Removal of Existing Ridge Cap and Snow Guards

We will dismantle only the ridge cap and snow guards that obstruct the roof overlay work!

2. Laying of Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)
The roofing used in

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 solid, there will be no leaks!

We will securely install it to prevent it from blowing away.

3. Custom Fabrication (Curlicue & Eaves)

3. Custom Fabrication (Curlicue & Eaves)

Before the main roofing work

, we will process and install custom pieces such as eaves and curlicues!
The custom pieces used are specifically designed for Galtect and are made of the same material, SGL steel plate.

4. Main Construction (Aiji Kogyo/Super Galtect)

After the custom fabrication

, we will install the Galtect main roofing up to the ridge!
Once the roofing is completed up to the ridge, we will install a necessary material called a “kanban” to secure the ridge cap. There are types of kanban made from 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!

5. Ridge Cap Fabrication & Sealing at Various Locations

5. Ridge Cap Processing and Sealing
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

6. Cleaning
We will clean up the debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly carry out this process as nails and metal fragments can lead to injuries. [/chat]

About the Roofing Material Used

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

Additionally, it is made of SGL steel plate, which is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates the 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 high heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and a warm winter.
Moreover, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Being lighter than other roofing materials, it also minimizes the sway during earthquakes, contributing to earthquake resistance.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial is the most frequently used in our construction projects, gaining significant attention!

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 on top of another, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”

Benefits of the Overlay Method

Since we overlay “new roofs” on the “current roof,” dismantling work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various benefits.

The only part that requires dismantling and waste disposal is the ridge cap, making it more cost-effective compared to complete roof replacement.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for details, please see the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website below).

Building materials used in structures constructed before 2004 may contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to dismantle due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for dismantling and waste disposal are also high. The roof 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, the construction can be completed in a shorter period compared to painting or complete roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the expenses more affordable.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
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, and 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.
