Hello! This is Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd.!

The Necessity of Roofing (Roof Repair) and Exterior Painting
and Maintenance Schedule

◇ Necessity of Roofing, Exterior Painting, and Roof Repair

・Necessity and Purpose of Roofing

The roof is directly affected by damage from rain, wind, and ultraviolet rays, and problems such as cracks and leaks surface over time. By carrying out roofing work, you can enhance the durability of the building and maintain a comfortable living space. Additionally, improvements in energy efficiency can also be expected. For example, using highly insulated roofing materials can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs.

In terms of long-term cost performance, roofing work can be considered an important investment.

・Necessity and Purpose of Exterior Painting

The role of exterior painting is primarily to protect the exterior walls. Like the roof, the exterior walls are directly affected by rain, wind, and ultraviolet rays. Regular exterior painting helps prevent these damages and plays a role in extending the lifespan of the house.

Moreover, making the house look beautiful is also a role of exterior painting. Since the exterior walls determine the first impression of the house, maintaining their beauty enhances the comfort of the residents and the evaluation from the surroundings.

If you want to extend the lifespan of your house and maintain its aesthetics, exterior painting is necessary.

◇ Maintenance Schedule for Each Construction Type

・Schedule for Roofing (Roof Repair)

Depending on the type of roofing material and the local climate, generally, roofing work (roof repair) is carried out every 10 to 15 years. After that, it is advisable to inspect every five years and carry out repairs or painting as necessary. Regular maintenance allows for early detection of minor deterioration or damage, which can reduce the risk of large-scale construction or repairs.

However, this is just a guideline, and it can vary depending on the material of the roof and environmental conditions such as high humidity, strong winds, and snowfall. In harsh weather conditions, more frequent checks may be necessary. Additionally, roofing work (roof repair) involves high-altitude work, so it is advisable to hire a professional contractor.

・Schedule for Exterior Painting

Generally, the lifespan of exterior wall painting is said to be about 7 to 10 years. However, like roofs, this can vary depending on the type of paint used, the painting method, and climate conditions. Inspections are necessary to check for signs of deterioration, such as fading, peeling, and cracking, about 3 to 5 years after the initial painting.

By regularly checking the condition of the exterior walls and performing maintenance as needed, you can maintain the aesthetics while protecting your valuable home.

◇Cost Estimates for Roof Work (Roof Repair) and Exterior Wall Painting

The costs for roof work (roof repair) and exterior wall painting can vary significantly based on the scope of work, scale, and materials used, but having a general understanding of the cost estimates can help with budgeting.

For example, in the case of a typical roof replacement, the average cost is about 30,000 to 50,000 yen per tsubo. This includes material costs, construction costs, and other expenses. For small repairs, it may cost several tens of thousands of yen, while large repairs or partial replacements may cost several hundred thousands of yen, and complete roof replacements often reach several million yen.

For exterior wall painting, the average cost for a typical single-family home is approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 yen. This cost also includes scaffolding and cleaning expenses.

This is a rough estimate, and it is advisable to request a quote from a contractor to confirm the specific costs.

Simultaneous Execution of Roof Work (Roof Repair) and Exterior Wall Painting!
What are the Benefits and Points to Note?

◇Benefits of Simultaneous Execution

Simultaneously executing roof work (roof repair) and exterior wall painting offers economic and time-saving benefits. Since the scaffolding required for each project can be set up at once, it is possible to significantly reduce overall costs. Additionally, preparations for each project and greetings to neighbors can also be done in one go, easing the burden and allowing for smoother progress of the work.

For these reasons, if possible, it is recommended to carry out roof work (roof repair) and exterior wall painting simultaneously.

◇Points to Note for Simultaneous Execution

When carrying out simultaneous execution, there are points to be cautious about. First, since specialized knowledge and skills are required for each project, it is important to confirm whether the contractor is well-versed in each respective field. Additionally, it is crucial to understand any potential additional costs beforehand. Furthermore, pay attention to the order of the work. If roof repairs are done after exterior wall painting, there may be issues such as damaging the walls during the work. Therefore, it is generally recommended to follow the order of roof work → exterior wall painting.

It is advisable to have thorough discussions with a reliable contractor and establish an efficient plan.

Points for Choosing a Reliable Contractor and Paint

When it comes to roofing work (roof repairs) and exterior painting, choosing the right contractor and paint is one of the important points. First, when selecting a contractor, check their qualifications and permits, past construction achievements, warranty details and warranty period, and after-sales support system. It is also recommended to obtain estimates from multiple contractors. This makes it easier to grasp the market price and confirm the transparency of costs.

The choice of paint also greatly affects the results of the work. For example, selecting a paint with excellent durability can reduce the number of repainting needed. Additionally, it is necessary to choose paint that can withstand the seasonal climate changes in Japan. Furthermore, consider the performance and maintenance costs to select paint that offers good cost performance.

While keeping these points in mind, it is important to choose a contractor and paint that meet your needs.
