Kanagawa Prefecture | Kawasaki City, Kawasaki Ward | K’s Residence: Roof Renovation and Leak Prevention 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 a roof renovation project in Kawasaki City, Kawasaki Ward, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The work involved a roof overlay (cover method) project (Ridgeway)!

This time, we implemented leak prevention measures through the roof overlay project!
Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.

We received a request for a roofing estimate through our website, and we were entrusted with the project!

Roof Overlay Project Construction Steps

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, thus reducing maintenance costs!
Additionally, because it uses fine natural stone on the surface, you won’t be troubled by the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is a lightweight roofing material, making it strong against earthquakes and providing seismic resistance.

Colors

■ Dual Black

■ Harvard Slate

■ Vintage Green

■ Dual Brown

This time, we completed a roofing project using Harvard slate, and it turned out exceptionally well!
The customer was very satisfied, and I was also very happy!

Along with the roofing work, we were also entrusted with exterior painting, rain gutter replacement, and wave board replacement! Thank you very much!
During the construction period, we received a lot of snacks and treats. They were very delicious!
If you have any further needs, please feel free to leave it to Kakeru Koumuten!

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 layered, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”
In the case of Mr. K’s residence, the existing roof was made of “tiles,” so it was replaced!

Advantages of the Overlay Method

Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” dismantling work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste material is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various advantages.

The only part that requires dismantling and waste disposal is the ridge cap, making it more cost-effective compared to full replacements.
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 constructions 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 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 consult us.

Additionally, the construction can be completed in a shorter period compared to painting or full replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the costs more affordable.
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 being unable to open 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.
