“Beautiful finish like a new build that cannot be achieved with exterior painting”

Exterior wall cover projects are gaining attention year by year.
Here, we will also introduce case studies, benefits, points to note, and costs!

Estimates and consultations are free!
We welcome competitive estimates!

What is the exterior wall cover method?

We will explain in detail the recommended points and precautions of the exterior wall cover method!

The exterior wall cover method is a construction method that overlays a new exterior wall on top of the existing one.
It is possible to overlay various types of exterior walls, such as ALC walls, ceramic siding, and mortar walls.
The exterior materials used in the exterior wall cover method are generally lightweight and durable metal siding.

While the costs are higher compared to exterior painting, it is a method of exterior remodeling that has various benefits and is gaining attention year by year.

Why is the exterior wall cover method so popular?

We would like to introduce the “5 points” that have made Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior wall cover method well-received!

Point 1 Super high durability!!

Metal siding offers an overwhelmingly high expected durability compared to exterior wall painting.
Made of Galvalume steel, SGL steel, and aluminum, there are various types of metal siding, and with aluminum, you can expect a durability of over 40 years!
Additionally, unlike ceramic siding or mortar exteriors, it does not crack or break, making its sturdiness one of its advantages!
If you use high-durability sealing materials, maintenance will be unnecessary for nearly 30 years!

Point 2 Improved Insulation!!

Cross-section of metal siding

The metal siding used in the exterior wall cover method comes with integrated insulation material.
Moreover, by installing battens before the metal siding installation to create a ventilation layer, the insulation properties are significantly enhanced!
This improvement in insulation is one of the major benefits of metal siding.

Point 3 Comprehensive Warranty for Peace of Mind!!

While many construction companies offer their own warranties for exterior wall painting, manufacturer warranties are generally not included.
Metal siding comes with solid manufacturer warranties such as coating warranties and hole warranties, providing a high level of reassurance for long-term exterior renovations!

Point 4 Improved Waterproofing!!

With the exterior material being double-layered, it effectively prevents rainwater intrusion, significantly enhancing waterproofing.
Applying waterproof paper before installation further increases waterproofing!

Point 5 Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal!!

Various designs such as wood grain and tile patterns

Metal siding allows for a finish that resembles a brand new construction, which cannot be achieved with exterior painting.
There are various designs available, ranging from simple styles to tile-like and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs to match the atmosphere of your building and your personal preferences!
Major manufacturers include Aiji Industry, Keimyuu, Nichiwa, and Asahi Tostem, each offering a wide range of types and designs of metal siding.
If you find a product you are interested in while browsing the catalog, you can also request cut samples!

What are the points to be careful about when doing exterior wall cover work with metal siding?

Next, I will explain the “three points to be careful about” when using metal siding for exterior wall cover methods!

Point 1 Few contractors can perform the work

There are significantly fewer contractors capable of performing the cover method with metal siding compared to exterior painting contractors.
Many inexperienced contractors exist, leading to a higher occurrence of troubles.
Since there is often a variation in the estimated costs, to ensure a satisfactory construction, if you are considering the exterior wall cover method with metal siding, make sure to obtain estimates from three or more companies and carefully review the details!

Point 2 Prone to dents and scratches

Metal siding can develop dents from impacts when objects hit it.
Additionally, being prone to scratches is one of its disadvantages.
If noticeable scratches occur and are a concern, it is possible to request repairs from a specialized repair contractor!

Point 3 Long construction period

Exterior wall cover work can be considered one of the most extensive renovations in exterior remodeling.
While exterior painting typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, exterior wall cover work can often take nearly a month.
The long construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the disadvantages.

Inquiry Details

I am considering a renovation of the exterior walls. I would like to use high-durability metal siding with a solid warranty.
Since this is a comparative estimate, I would like to request a quote for the same type of metal siding as the estimates from other companies.

Proposal Details
We have proposed a roof overlay method using metal siding as per your request.
Since you had several preferred types of metal siding, we have created separate estimates for each one!

You entrusted us with the “Aiji Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine” metal siding!
The above siding is made of Galvalume steel plate with heat-insulating fluorine processing, and it is integrated with insulation material, providing high thermal insulation performance.
You mentioned that you obtained estimates from three companies, and we were able to secure your order due to our competitive pricing and thorough explanations compared to other companies!

Price Range
 2,000,000 to 2,100,000 yen
Construction Period
 Approximately 3 weeks
Existing Exterior Material/New Exterior Material

 Existing exterior: ALC
 New exterior: Metal siding (Aiji Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine)
 Material: Galvalume steel plate with heat-insulating fluorine processing
 In-house warranty: 10 years
 Manufacturer warranty: 10 years for color fading, 10 years for red rust, 10 years for perforation
 Furring strips: Made of resin

1. Painting of Auxiliary Parts

We will first paint areas not covered by wall siding (such as eaves, gables, and fascia). To match the durability of the siding, we recommend using high-durability paints such as inorganic or fluorine types.

2. Removal of Equipment

We temporarily remove items that may obstruct the siding, such as rain gutters and air conditioning ducts.

3. Substrate Adjustment

If there is significant deterioration, we will perform joint sealing and adjust the substrate if the exterior wall is warped.

4. Waterproof Paper Installation (may not be necessary)

We will apply a highly breathable moisture-permeable sheet over the entire exterior wall. If the building is over 25 years old or shows significant deterioration, we recommend installing a waterproof sheet, but if there are no issues, we may proceed without it.

5. Installation of Battens

We will install battens over the entire exterior wall. The battens will be fixed at intervals of 455 mm, and wider boards will be installed around the windows. If the siding used is horizontal, the battens will be installed vertically, and if the siding is vertical, the battens will be installed horizontally.

6. Metal Work for Fittings

We will process and install corner bases, end caps, and foundation water-cutting metal.

7. Main Construction

Finally, we will cut the siding and secure it with screws from the bottom up. Once the siding installation is complete, we will install joint covers and corners. Stainless steel screws will be used for fastening the siding materials!

8. Sealing at Various Locations

We will apply sealing to areas that require waterproofing. For sealing materials, we recommend using high-durability sealing materials such as Auton Exceed or SR Seal H100, which can be expected to last nearly 30 years if the colors match.

9. Reinstallation of Equipment

We will reinstall the removed rain gutters and air conditioning ducts. If the rain gutter brackets are of the driven type, we may change them to the screw type.

10. Completion

Finally, we will conduct cleaning and a final review to complete the project.

About the Costs of Exterior Wall Covering Work

This is a guideline table for the estimated costs of exterior wall cover work.
It is an estimate for the cost of performing the exterior wall overlay (cover method) on a building with a floor area of 30 tsubo.

The cost of the exterior wall cover work will be estimated based on the calculation below.
Exterior wall area (㎡) × Siding unit price + Equipment removal and installation costs + Additional painting costs = Total amount
This will be the total.

Material Expected Durability (Years) Cost
Assuming a building area of 30 tsubo (150㎡)
Galvalume Steel 30 to 35 Including Tax
Approximately 2,000,000 yen
(Siding unit price 11,000 yen/㎡~)
SGL Steel 35 to 40 Including Tax
Approximately 2,200,000 yen
(Siding unit price 12,500 yen/㎡~)
Aluminum 40 years or more Including Tax
Approximately 2,500,000 yen
(Siding unit price 14,000 yen/㎡~)

The amount will vary depending on the number of painted accessories and windows, as well as the equipment that needs to be removed and reattached.
Please note that this is just a rough estimate, and detailed quotes are completely free, so feel free to contact us.

How to Choose a Siding Contractor

There are fewer contractors that handle exterior wall cover work compared to exterior painting contractors, so it may be challenging to find a reliable contractor, such as “where should I request?”
The most important thing in choosing a contractor and obtaining a quote is to always obtain multiple quotes!

For this reason, when requesting exterior wall cover work, let’s check the following four points.

1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

3. Obtain multiple quotes from different contractors (at least three companies)

4. Confirm whether the contractor performs the exterior wall cover work in-house

By confirming the above four points, you will be able to choose a trustworthy contractor.

1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate

When obtaining an estimate for exterior wall cover work, let’s check the following items!

・Is the proposed new siding material suitable for your requirements?

Check whether materials that meet your requirements, such as durability and insulation, are being proposed!
Since there are various types of metal siding, such as cost-effective siding and insulation-focused siding, make sure that the proposed siding aligns with your original requirements!

・Is the proposed installation method appropriate?

When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to create a ventilation layer between the existing exterior wall and the new exterior wall material using a method called “ventilation method.”
If you skip the ventilation layer and apply it directly, moisture cannot escape, leading to mold or corrosion, and may result in peeling or lifting of the exterior wall material.
Check whether the proposed work is appropriate!

・Are the quantities and construction details specified in detail?

If the estimate states something vague like “exterior wall cover work 1 set,” it becomes difficult to understand the construction method and what the costs are for, making it hard to compare estimates.
Having clear unit prices and quantities for items like foundation water stops and edge trims can provide peace of mind and help prevent issues.
If there are items of concern not included in the estimate, confirm the reason for their exclusion!

・Also check the auxiliary materials used!

Check not only the siding itself but also the types of detailed auxiliary materials, such as “types of battens,” “siding fasteners,” and “types of waterproof paper“!
For example, siding fasteners are screws, and the overall cost can vary between iron and stainless steel.
While iron may appear cheaper at first glance, stainless steel is resistant to rust and is a recommended fastener.

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

When choosing a contractor for exterior wall cover work, make sure to check for warranties.

Exterior wall cover work is one of the more expensive renovations, so in addition to manufacturer warranties, also check for the presence of in-house warranties!
If the contractor has a warranty period, they may offer free repairs within that period.

The warranty period varies by contractor and the specifics of the work, but a 5 to 10-year setting is common.

Additionally, some contractors offer after-sales services separate from warranties, so be sure to confirm if the contractor you are considering has after-sales services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always provides a warranty for exterior wall cover work.
We also conduct after-maintenance, and we send out annual DM, so if desired, inspections can be done every year.

3. Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)

When requesting exterior wall cover work, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

The cost of the same repair can vary between contractors, as can warranties and after-sales services.

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

To request your desired repair contractor at a lower cost, obtaining estimates from several contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, consider not only the costs but also the details of the plans, materials, and auxiliary materials!

4. Confirm whether the contractor performs exterior wall cover work in-house

There are differences in costs between companies that handle in-house construction and those that outsource to external companies, which can also lead to miscommunication and other issues with external contractors.

Furthermore, if problems arise after construction, responses may be delayed, or there may be no dealings with external construction companies, leading to potential troubles.
Being able to respond immediately when something happens is one of the reasons why companies that perform in-house construction are recommended!
