What is the exterior cover method?

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

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

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

Why is the exterior cover method so popular?

Here are the “5 points” that have made Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior cover method well-received!

Point 1 Super high durability!!

Metal siding offers an overwhelmingly high expected durability compared to exterior wall painting.
Galvalume steel, SGL steel, and aluminum are 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 has integrated insulation material.
Moreover, by installing battens before the metal siding installation to create a ventilation layer, the insulation properties are significantly improved!
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 and perforation guarantees, making it a reassuring choice for long-term exterior renovations!

Point 4 Improved Waterproofing!!

With the exterior material being doubled, it 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 new construction, which is impossible to achieve 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 that match the atmosphere and your preferences of the building!
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 of interest in the catalog, you can also request cut samples!

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

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

Caution 1 Few contractors can perform the work

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

Caution 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, you can request repairs from a specialized repair contractor!

Caution 3 Long construction period

Exterior wall cover work is arguably the most extensive type of exterior renovation.
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 metal siding as the estimates from other companies.

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

We have been entrusted with the “Aiji Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine” metal siding!
The above siding is made of galvanized steel with heat-insulating fluorine processing, and it is integrated with insulation material, providing high thermal insulation properties.
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 with heat-insulating fluorine processing
 In-house warranty: 10 years
 Manufacturer warranty: Fading 10 years, rust 10 years, perforation 10 years
 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 will temporarily remove items that obstruct the siding, such as rain gutters and air conditioning ducts.

3. Base Adjustment

If there is significant deterioration, we will perform joint sealing and adjust the base 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 Fabrication 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. We recommend using high-durability sealing materials such as Auton Exceed or SR Seal H100, which can expect nearly 30 years of durability, as long as 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 review to mark the completion.

About the Costs of Exterior Wall Covering Work

This is a table of estimated costs for exterior wall cover work.
It serves as a guideline for the costs when performing the exterior wall 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 following calculation:
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/m²~)
SGL Steel 35 to 40 Including Tax
Approximately 2,200,000 yen
(Siding unit price 12,500 yen/m²~)
Aluminum 40 or more Including Tax
Approximately 2,500,000 yen
(Siding unit price 14,000 yen/m²~)

The amount will vary depending on the number of auxiliary parts to be painted, the number of windows, and the equipment to be removed and reattached.
Please note that this is just an estimated amount, and detailed estimates 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 difficult to find a reliable contractor, such as “where should I request?”
The most important thing when choosing a contractor or obtaining an estimate is to always obtain multiple estimates!

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

1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

3. Obtain multiple estimates from several contractors (at least three)

4. Check if 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 if 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, confirm whether the siding proposed meets your original requirements!

・Is it proposed with appropriate construction methods?

When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to create a ventilation layer between the existing wall and the new wall material using a method called “ventilation method.”
If you apply it directly without creating a ventilation layer, moisture cannot escape, leading to mold and corrosion, or it may cause peeling or lifting of the 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 will be difficult to understand the construction method and what the costs are for.
Having clear unit prices and quantities for items like foundation water stops and edge trims will provide peace of mind and help prevent issues.
If there are items of concern that are not included in the estimate, confirm the reason for their exclusion!

・Check the auxiliary materials to be used!

Check not only the main siding 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 will 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 types of exterior renovations, so in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, be sure to check for any in-house warranties as well!
If the contractor offers a warranty period, they may provide free repairs within that period.

The warranty period varies depending on the contractor and the specifics of the work, but a 5 to 10 year setting is typical.

Additionally, some contractors offer after-service separate from the warranty, so be sure to confirm if after-service is available with the contractor you are considering.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always includes a warranty with exterior wall cover work.
We also provide after-maintenance, and we send out annual DM, so if you wish, annual inspections are possible.

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

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

Even for the same repair work, the costs can vary between contractors, as well as the warranties and after-services they offer.

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

To request your desired repair contractor at the best possible price, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, consider not only the costs but also the plan details, materials, and auxiliary supplies!

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

There are differences in costs between companies that handle the work in-house and those that outsource it to external companies, and there is also a higher likelihood of miscommunication and issues arising with external contractors.

Furthermore, if problems occur after the work is completed, the response may be slow, or there may be no dealings with the external contractor, leading to further complications.
Being able to respond immediately when something goes wrong is one of the reasons why companies that perform the work in-house are recommended!
