Completion

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 an exterior renovation in Sakae-ku, Yokohama.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and the work we did this time is a roof overlay (Ridgeway) project!

What is the roof overlay method?

The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost intact 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 we are overlaying the roof, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”

Benefits of the overlay method

Since we are placing a “new roof” over 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 parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge caps, so compared to complete roof replacement, it ismore cost-effective.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website).
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 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 with us.

Additionally, we can complete the work in a shorter timeframe than painting or re-roofing. The fact that the construction period is short means that labor costs will also be lower, which in turn makes the cost more affordable.
This reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unfamiliar environment.
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, and the roof overlay (cover method) is the most frequently performed service we offer. We are very grateful that we are continuously able to carry out roof overlay (cover method) projects without interruption.

Ridgeway

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 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 the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is a lightweight roofing material, making it strong against earthquakes and providing seismic resistance.

*After installation, some of the surface decorative stones may fall off for about a week, but this does not indicate any quality issues.
