Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

One reason why our company is entrusted with skylight repairs in Aoba-ku
is that “Kakeru Koumuten is a roofing company in Kanagawa Prefecture,”
but “our unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has received high praise from many customers.

1. Equipment Specialized in Exterior Renovation

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has prepared the following warehouses and material storage to provide low-cost, high-quality exterior renovations such as skylight construction.
We have established five bases for material storage and showrooms.

In-house Scaffolding Materials

We own the scaffolding materials necessary for temporary scaffolding required for skylight construction, allowing us to set up scaffolding in-house.
By performing scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can cut costs on scaffolding work and respond quickly in emergencies.
We have scaffolding materials for approximately 50 houses!

Storage of Materials in Our Large In-house Warehouse

 We store materials used for exterior renovations.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we can purchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us to respond quickly in emergencies!

In-house Waste Separation

During skylight construction, various waste materials such as roofing materials, glass, and wood are generated.
While most contractors dispose of them all together, we can significantly cut waste disposal costs by separating and recycling the waste materials.

Showroom Dedicated to Exterior Renovations

In our showroom, not only can you have meetings, but you can also
directly check the actual roofing materials and colors.
You can also perform color simulations for exterior painting and check heat insulation properties using a heat insulation testing machine!

2. Complete in-house construction for skylight installation

One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is our complete in-house construction.

From inquiries to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten in a consistent manner, allowing us to keep costs down while providing high-quality skylight installations.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the person in charge does not change, whether it’s the sales representative or the construction management representative, smooth communication is possible.

We can handle everything from temporary scaffolding installation to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior cover work completely in-house!

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, it can be significantly cost-effective when done simultaneously with roof replacement or cover work!

3. Various permits obtained and skilled workers on staff

We have obtained permits for construction work and industrial waste collection and transportation!
We have certified sheet metal workers and painting technicians on staff, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
We are also capable of handling large-scale roofing projects, such as those for factories!
We have qualified asbestos supervisors and asbestos surveyors on staff, so we can handle asbestos-containing roofing materials and conduct preliminary surveys.

4. Warranty and Aftercare

The skylight replacement work comes with a warranty!
Aftercare is available every year, and we send out notification DM each year.

5. Flexible and Prompt Response

Our company is equipped to handle various troubles and situations related to skylights.

Even if you cannot access the roof at high altitudes, we can respond using a drone!
During leak investigations, we can also conduct surveys using a thermal imaging camera, which helps in identifying the cause of leaks!

We will respond according to your wishes.
We also accept emergency repairs for sudden leaks from skylights!

6. Human Resource Development

We are creating various roof models to improve our skills and conducting practical training.
Since different processing and techniques are required depending on the site, we regularly provide skill enhancement training to ensure that all staff can respond effectively.

Subsidies and Grants Available for Skylight Construction in Tamaku, Kawasaki

In Tamaku, Kawasaki, there are potential subsidies available when performing skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!

Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Efficiency Renovation Subsidy

Eligible Applicants

The eligible applicants for this subsidy are owners of existing homes in Kanagawa Prefecture who reside in those homes on a daily basis. The eligible homes must be residences where the owner themselves lives, regardless of whether they are single-family homes or apartments.

Eligible Construction and Conditions

To receive the subsidy, the following requirements must be met. First, the renovation must target existing homes in the prefecture and use products with insulation performance specified by the national government, such as windows, glass, and insulation materials. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a pre-application must be submitted before starting the construction, with construction commencing only after receiving a grant decision. Eligible construction includes insulation renovations for windows, floors, walls, and ceilings.

Subsidy Amount

The maximum amount for this subsidy is up to 200,000 yen per residence. This is the total subsidy provided when eligible energy efficiency renovation work is carried out, and no more than this amount can be received.

Subsidy Rate

The burden ratio for the subsidy is **one-third (approximately 33%) of the eligible construction costs**. However, even if the calculated amount based on the subsidy rate exceeds the maximum limit of 200,000 yen, the amount granted will be limited to “up to the maximum amount.”

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Applicants

This program targets child-rearing households (households with children under 18) and young couples, focusing on the construction or purchase of new homes with high energy efficiency performance, or energy-efficient renovations of existing homes. For new constructions, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor who orders the work is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency performance standards set by the government, such as ZEH standards or higher. For renovations, the work must improve the home’s energy efficiency performance through insulation renovations or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and carry out the work within the specified period.

Subsidy Upper Limit

For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 1,600,000 yen, depending on the performance classification of the house. For renovations, the upper limit is between 400,000 yen and 600,000 yen per unit, depending on the content of the work. In either case, even if multiple works are carried out, the subsidy cannot exceed this upper limit.

Subsidy Rate

This program does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of the construction cost; instead, a predetermined “fixed subsidy” is granted based on the content of the work and performance classification. Therefore, in effect, the government covers a portion of the construction costs.

For more details, please click here!

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Owners of existing homes (single-family homes and apartment buildings) who are conducting insulation renovation work on windows and openings are eligible. The actual subsidy application process is carried out by registered “window renovation contractors” with the government, and the granted subsidy is fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on construction costs.

Requirements

Eligible renovations include the installation of interior windows, replacement of exterior windows, and glass replacement aimed at improving insulation performance in existing homes. It is necessary to use products that meet the insulation performance standards set by the government and to enter into a construction contract with a registered window renovation contractor. Additionally, the total subsidy amount must be 50,000 yen or more, and the work must start and be completed within the specified construction period.

Subsidy Upper Limit

The upper limit for the subsidy is 2,000,000 yen per unit. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same house is limited to this upper limit.

Subsidy Rate

The subsidy rate is approximately equivalent to half of the construction costs. The actual subsidy amount is set at a fixed rate based on the type of window (interior window, exterior window, glass), size, and insulation performance classification, resulting in a total that is approximately 50% of the construction costs.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Skylights

Advantages of Skylights

High Light Transmission

First, the advantage of skylights is their high light transmission.
When natural light enters the room abundantly, it creates a sense of openness, making you feel more comfortable.

Energy Savings

This also contributes to high light transmission, allowing you to save on electricity costs due to the presence of natural light. As a result, the need to turn on electric lights during the day decreases, making it suitable for energy savings.

Good Ventilation

By installing a skylight, you can open and close it, improving ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow as well.

High Privacy

In areas where houses are closely packed together, installing large windows can make the interior visible. However, with skylights, since they are installed on the roof, your privacy is maintained.

Disadvantages of Skylights

Risk of Leaks

The biggest concern when installing a skylight is the risk of leaks. Since it involves opening up the roof for installation, there is inevitably some risk of water leakage.

However, with proper installation and regular maintenance, the risk can be minimized significantly.

Regular Maintenance Required

Skylights need maintenance every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem bothersome, it is recommended to perform it regularly to avoid damage to the interior and wooden components caused by leaks.

Noise from Rain

Since skylights are installed directly on the roof, the sound of raindrops hitting the glass can easily be transmitted indoors, which is a disadvantage. This sound can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.

However, this is not the case for all skylights. Choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation can reduce the noise from rain.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

There are many skylight contractors in Kawasaki City, and it can be confusing to decide which one to choose.

Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repairs, please check the following 5 points.

By checking the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.

Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work

Skylight contractors often have websites showcasing their work history.

Additionally, if they provide detailed explanations of repair work with photos, it can give you peace of mind when you decide to request repairs.

If you are concerned about whether the contractor you are considering will handle your request properly, choose one with extensive repair experience.

It is also effective to refer to reviews on Google and review sites when looking for skylight contractors!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from requesting their services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior work, so we receive many requests for skylight replacement work.

Confirm if They Can Handle Roof Work

Since skylights are installed on roofs, roof work is often involved as well.
If the contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roof work, there is a possibility of issues arising after installation, such as leaks or high construction costs.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial dismantling of the roof and restoration, performing these tasks together with roof overlay work or re-roofing can significantly reduce costs!

Our company specializes in roofing work, so we can propose the optimal plan tailored to your needs for roofing work associated with skylight installation.

Check for warranties and after-sales maintenance

When choosing a skylight contractor, let’s confirm the availability of warranties.

If a leak occurs after the skylight installation, having a leak warranty from the contractor ensures that repairs can be made at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer a warranty demonstrate confidence in their work, which can serve as a criterion for selecting a contractor!

The warranty period varies by contractor and the nature of the work, but it is generally set between 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.

Moreover, some contractors offer after-sales services in addition to warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties and after-sales services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for after-sales maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
We also provide free support for simple repairs such as partial sealing.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

When requesting skylight installation, let’s obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

Even for the same repair or replacement work, the costs can vary between contractors, as well as the warranties and after-sales services offered.

Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.

To request your desired repair contractor at the lowest possible price, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.

When comparing estimates, be sure to look at more than just the costs,
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality of glass, etc.”
“Confirmation of the process”
and make detailed comparisons! If the quality of auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!

The Importance of Comparing Estimates for Roof Renovation in Yokohama and Key Points to Consider!Hello! This is Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd.! We are Kakeru Koumute...

Check if the contractor performs the work in-house

There are various construction methods for skylight repair plans, including full replacement, roof overlay (cover method), and partial repairs!
The plan details will vary depending on the actual state of deterioration and the customer’s preferences.

If you choose a contractor that completely outsources skylight repair work, they may lack knowledge and experience, leading to proposals for repairs in the wrong areas or unnecessary work. There are cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested to replace the skylight instead of a partial repair that would suffice.

Additionally, since they need to investigate and then request a subcontractor, both time and costs can increase unnecessarily.
By having the knowledge and experience to perform the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.

Moreover, with contractors that outsource work, one of the disadvantages is that their response to emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, tends to be delayed.
