Hello!
I am Yamanaka from Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture!
This is a case study of an exterior renovation project at Mr. K’s residence in Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
There are several types of exterior renovations, but the work this time is a roof overlay (cover method) using Galtect!
We implemented measures against leaks due to roofing work!

This page will explain the actual results of the work done by Kakeru Koumuten!

Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.

Roof Replacement Construction Procedure

1. Dismantling Existing Ridge and Rain Gutter

We will dismantle unnecessary existing roofing materials (ridge flashing, snow guards) for the

roof overlay (cover method)!The durability of wooden purlins is about 10 to 15 years. Once the durability period is exceeded, corrosion and discoloration can occur, leading to the detachment and scattering of ridge flashing.

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)

The roofing used is

Nisshin Kogyo/Kappa 23!
It is made of modified asphalt roofing, which is said to have double the durability of regular asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is solid, there will be no leaks!
We will ensure it is firmly adhered to prevent it from blowing away.

3. Accessory Processing (Curlicue, Eaves, Waste Board)

Before the main roofing work, we will process and install accessories such as eaves and curlicue flashing!
The materials used for the accessories are galvalume steel sheets. [/chat]

4. Main Body Construction

4. Main Body Construction

After processing the accessories, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge! We will apply single cement at overlapping areas during the installation.
Once we have installed up to the ridge, we will set up the necessary materials to secure the ridge flashing, known as purlins. There are types of purlins made from cedar and resin, and this time we used cedar! [/chat]

5. Skylight Flashing Processing

5. Toplight Sheet Metal Processing

After roofing the main body up to the toplight (skylight), we will proceed to the sheet metal processing for the toplight. We will process the sheet metal to ensure that rainwater is properly drained off the main body.

Next, we will process and install the ridge cap. We will apply sealing thoroughly on the inside of the joints. For the wall edge, we will process and install a component called a rain stopper sheet metal.
We will use stainless steel nails and screws that are resistant to rust for fastening!

7. Cleaning

 

7. Cleaning

We will clean up any debris that has fallen onto the balcony or rain gutters. We will thoroughly remove items like nails and metal scraps that could cause injuries. Additionally, we will wipe off any footprints left on the roof to ensure it is clean.

The construction is now complete!

About Roofing Materials

The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry.
The 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 workmanship warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly adhered from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates the steel plate 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 experience.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, which reduce the sound of rain.
Being lighter than other roofing materials, it also minimizes the swaying during earthquakes, providing earthquake resistance.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry is the most frequently used material in our projects, gaining significant attention!

What is the roof overlay (cover method)?

The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost as it is and placing a new roof on top of it, effectively covering it.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since the roof is layered, it is also referred to as “layered roofing.”

Advantages of the overlay method

Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste material is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various advantages.

The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge cap, so compared to full roof replacement, the cost is lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for more details, please visit the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s website).
Some building materials used in constructions completed before 2004 contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to demolish due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for demolition and waste disposal are also high. The overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.

Some may wonder, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses asbestos-containing materials?” but rest assured. As long as there is no destruction or crushing, it will not disperse into the air.
If you are unsure about the type of roof on your home, please feel free to consult with us.

Additionally, the work can be completed in a shorter time frame compared to painting or full roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
The psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment is also reduced.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or not being able to open windows. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.

Our company specializes in roofing work, and the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work we do. We are very grateful that we are continuously able to carry out roof overlay projects without interruption.
