Inquiry Details and Construction Process

We received an inquiry from a resident in Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, stating, 'Pieces of roofing material are falling off, so I would like you to take a look. I also want to request a quote for the exterior wall since it has never been painted.'

Roof
The existing roofing material isnot suitable for paintingand isPamir, which is very brittle and cannot be painted.
The only effective roof repair options are overlay installation or complete roof replacement.
The building is 18 years old, and since the existing substrate was in good condition, we proposed roof repair using overlay installation.
The customer requested lightweight and highly durable roofing materials, so we proposed various plans featuring roofing materials expected to last over 30 years.
This time, we were entrusted with the option that has the highest insulation properties, along with a solid warranty period and warranty details.Super Galtect!
The important thing here is that not only the roofing material itself but also auxiliary materials such as 'roofing sheets' and 'purlins' are essential.
Since the existing roofing material is classified as fragile slate, specifically Pamir, it is necessary to use a high-durability roofing sheet that is compatible.
Therefore, we proposed the Tadi Self Cover, which is specifically designed for overlay installation for fragile slate roofing sheets.
Regarding the purlins (ridge base), we proposed a 'galvalume steel ridge base' with a durability equivalent to Super Galtect.
It is possible to lower the rank of auxiliary materials according to your budget, but as a principle, Kakeru Koumuten recommends aligning the durability of the main roofing material with that of the auxiliary materials.

〇 Exterior Wall Painting
The existing exterior wall has a mortar-based Risin finish.
Since this is the first exterior wall painting, we proposed a painting plan suitable for Risin-finished walls.
Risin-finished walls have the following characteristics.
"Prone to cracking"
"Prone to dirt accumulation"
"If not painted with a matte finish paint, it will become uneven"

Therefore, it is necessary to use a filler type that prevents cracking for the primer.
For the topcoat, we recommend paint that can accommodate a matte finish to avoid unevenness.

We proposed several plans.Auto-cleaning functionhas been entrusted to us with Nano Composite W!

The auto-cleaning function is a unique feature of Nano Composite W that removes dirt attached to the exterior walls with rainwater!

Exterior Painting Construction Procedure

1. High-Pressure Washing



Next, we thoroughly remove dirt and moss from the exterior walls with high-pressure washing! We also cleaned the ground while we were at it!

2. Base Adjustment


After the high-pressure washing is completed, we will perform substrate adjustments such as crack repairs while checking the condition of the exterior walls!

3. Protection of Various Areas

Next, we will protect areas that will not be painted, such as windows, sashes, and floors, using masking tape, blue sheets, and polymer masks. This is a very important task in the painting process! If protection is neglected, gaps can form, allowing paint to seep in, or clean lines may not be achieved.

4. Primer Application



This is the first step of applying paint after completing high-pressure washing and substrate treatment, and it is the paint that ensures that the middle and top coats adhere well to the surface. By applying the primer thoroughly, there will be a significant difference in durability and finish! The primer used is Mizutani Paint’s Nano Composite Filler!

5. Middle Coat

Next is the middle coat. This is an important process to bring out the performance of the paint, achieve a beautiful finish, and eliminate unevenness!

6. Top Coat


Next is the top coat. This is the finishing touch for the exterior wall painting. We will be mindful to ensure there are no uneven areas or missed spots, achieving a beautiful finish! The paint used is Mizutani Paint’s Nano Composite W.
The manufacturer’s expected durability is about 12 to 16 years.
Durability may vary depending on the region and sunlight exposure.

The main feature of Nano Composite W is its auto-cleaning function!

7. Painting of Auxiliary Parts (Fascia, Soffit, Eaves, Shutter Box, Rain Gutter, Drip Edge Metal, Around Mailbox)

The auxiliary parts are completed with a primer and topcoat after surface preparation such as scraping!

Soffit

Shutter Box

Rain Gutter

Drip Edge Metal

Around Mailbox

For auxiliary parts, after surface preparation such as scraping, if it is a metal part, we apply a rust preventive primer, followed by an intermediate coat with Yumelock, and then a topcoat. We ensure to paint thoroughly, even in the finer areas!

Please check out our other painting work examples here!

Roof Overlay Construction Procedure

1. Demolition of Existing Ridge and Snow Stops

We will dismantle unnecessary parts (ridge flashing) for the overlay method!The durability of wooden purlins is about 10 to 15 years. Exceeding the durability period can lead to corrosion and discoloration, resulting in the ridge flashing coming loose or blowing away.

2. Installing Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)

The roofing used is Tajima Roofing/Tadis Self Cover!
It is made of a delayed adhesive modified asphalt roofing material, which is said to have double the durability of regular asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is properly installed, there will be no leaks!
We will ensure it is firmly adhered to prevent it from blowing away.

This is a special roofing sheet for overlaying fragile slates like Colonial NEO and Pamir!

3. Fabrication of Accessories (Eaves, Decorative Elements, Valleys)


Before the main roofing work, we will fabricate and install accessories such as eaves and decorative elements!
The accessories used are genuine Galtect accessories made of SGL copper plate!

4. Main Construction (Aijii Industry/Super Galtect)


After processing the special parts, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge! After processing the special parts, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge!
Once we have installed it up to the ridge, we will set up the necessary materials to secure the ridge board known as the “kanban.” We offer three types of kanban: cedar, resin, and Galvalume steel, and this time we used Galvalume steel!
Galvalume steel is expected to have three times the durability compared to cedar! Unlike resin or cedar, it does not crack, providing peace of mind!

Our original integrated waste board made of Galvalume steel is highly durable, has strong fixation, and excellent wind resistance! Even if rainwater enters from the ridge, it has a mechanism to discharge rainwater to the outside, demonstrating high waterproofing performance! It is perfect for the Super Galtect ridge base!

5. Processing of Ridge Metal and Sealing at Various Locations


Next, we will process and install the ridge metal. We will firmly apply sealing on the inside of the joints. For the wall edge, we will process and install a component called the rain guard metal.
The screws used for fixation are stainless steel with packing, which are resistant to rust!

Packing screws are less likely to come loose compared to nails, securely fixing the ridge metal to the kanban!

Although it is not visible after construction, by installing a face plate on the inside of the ridge cap, the waterproofing is enhanced!
We will firmly protect the ridge, which is a critical point of the roof.

6. Cleaning

We will clean up the debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly remove items such as nails and metal scraps that could cause injuries. Additionally, we will wipe away any footprints left on the roof to keep it clean.

About Roofing Materials

The roofing material used is Aijii Industrial’s Super Galtect.
Super Galtect comes with a manufacturer warranty of 15 years for the coating and 25 years for perforation.
Our company also provides a 10-year construction warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates steel and insulation.
When installed, insulation is applied even to the parts where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with a highly heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and warm winter.
It also has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is lightweight compared to other roofing materials, which minimizes shaking during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and our company’s construction achievements show that Aijii Industrial’s Super Galtect is the most used and highly regarded!
