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 Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The work involved a roof overlay (cover method) (Super Galtect) project!
We implemented leak prevention measures through the roof overlay work!
Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.
Roof Overlay Construction Procedure
1. Dismantling Existing Ridge and Snow Guards
We dismantle only the ridge flashing and snow guards that would obstruct the overlay work.
2. Laying Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)
The roofing material used this time is modified asphalt. You can expect double the durability of asphalt roofing!
3. Component Processing (Curlicue & Eaves)
We will process and install the eaves and curlicue.
4. Main Construction
Once the main body is roofed, we will install the ridge and wall plates. This time, we used cedar ridge boards, but there are also resin ridge boards that are resistant to corrosion.
5. Ridge Metal Processing
We will process and install the ridge metal and ventilation ridge. We will firmly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.
For the wall edge, we will process and install a component called a rain stop metal.
6. Cleaning
We will remove any footprints and debris that may have fallen around the house and in the rain gutters, and we will do a thorough cleaning.
We strive to ensure that the area is cleaner after the work than it was before!
And that concludes the construction!
About the Roofing Material Used
The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial.
The Super Galtect comes with a 15-year paint warranty and a 25-year hole warranty from the manufacturer.
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 end to end 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 reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and among our construction achievements, the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial is the most popular and highly regarded!

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.”
Advantages of the Overlay Method
“Since we overlay “new roofs” on the “current roof,” demolition 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 demolition and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to complete roof replacement, the costs are lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for more 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 demolish due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for demolition 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 consult us.
Additionally, we can complete the work in a shorter period than painting or complete roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn reduces expenses.
The psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment is also minimized.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or opening windows. Being able to return to your 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.
