Y Residence in Konan-ku, Yokohama | Performed roof overlay with Ridgeway and rain gutter replacement work!

Hello!
I am Yamanaka from Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama!
This is a case study of exterior renovations in Konan-ku, Yokohama.
There are several types of exterior renovations, but this project involves roof repair (roof overlay) and rain gutter replacement!
This work utilizes fire insurance.

The roof will undergo a roof overlay (cover method).
The roofing material used is Ridgeway from Asahi Fiberglass.

Roof Overlay (Roof Repair) Construction Procedure

 

What is the Roof Overlay Method?

The roof repair we conducted this time is the “roof overlay method,” which involves leaving the existing roof almost intact 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. Since the roof is installed in layers, it is also referred to as “layered roofing.”

Advantages of the Roof Overlay Method

Since we are placing a “new roof” over the “existing roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste is generated from the roof repair. This is its most significant feature, leading to various advantages.

The only part that requires demolition and waste disposal is the ridge flashing, so compared to a complete roof replacement, it is more cost-effective.

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). Some building materials used in structures built before 2004 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.

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 consult us.

Additionally, compared to roof repairs such as painting or complete replacement, roof overlay work can be completed in a shorter time frame. 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 during roof repairs is also reduced. When scaffolding is set up, it can be inconvenient to enter and exit, and windows may be difficult to open. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.

Our company specializes in roof repair work, including roof overlay projects, and among these, the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work. We are very grateful that we are continuously able to carry out roof overlay projects without interruption.

Ridgeway

The roofing material used for this roof repair (roof overlay) 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, thus reducing maintenance costs!
Additionally, because it uses fine natural stones on the surface, you won’t be troubled by rain noise after the roof repair.
Moreover, it is a lightweight roofing material, making it strong against earthquakes and providing seismic resistance.

*After the roof overlay installation, some of the surface decorative stones may fall off for about a week, but there is no issue with quality.
