Hello!
This is 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 renovation in Kawasaki City, Kawasaki Ward, Kanagawa Prefecture.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and this time, the work involved is roof overlay construction (Ridgeway)!
We implemented leak prevention measures through roofing work!

On this page, I will explain the actual achievements carried out by Kakeru Koumuten!

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

Roof overlay construction procedure

1. Removal of existing ridge cap and snow guards

When performing

cover work, we will only dismantle the roof’s ridge flashing and snow stops that may get in the way!

2. Roofing installation (waterproof sheet)

The roofing used is Tajima Roofing/Tadis Self!
It is a delayed adhesive modified asphalt roofing material, 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 adhere it to prevent it from blowing away. [/chat]

3. Custom fabrication (decorative elements and eaves)

4. Main construction (Asahi Fiberglass/Ridgeway)

After processing the

5. Processing of Ridge Cap and Sealing at Various Locations

6. Cleaning

We will clean up the debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly remove items like nails and metal scraps that could lead to injuries. [/chat]

The roofing material used is Ridgeway from Asahi Fiberglass.
Ridgeway comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Since it uses natural stone with baked-on paint on the surface, it is a roofing material that does not require painting, which helps reduce maintenance costs!
Additionally, because it uses fine natural stones on the surface, you won’t be troubled by rain noise.
Moreover, it is a lightweight roofing material, making it strong against earthquakes and providing seismic resistance.

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, 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 the main feature and leads to various advantages.

The only part that requires dismantling and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to a full 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 constructed before 2004 contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to dismantle due to their high environmental impact, resulting in high costs for both dismantling and waste disposal. The roof overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.

You may be wondering, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses asbestos-containing materials?” 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 with us.

Additionally, the construction can be completed in a shorter period compared to painting or full roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
If 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 time is certainly a significant advantage.

Our company specializes in roofing work, and the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed service we offer. We are very grateful that we have been continuously carrying out roof overlay projects without interruption.
