Roof Overlay Construction Procedure in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama

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 against perforation.
Our company also provides a 10-year construction warranty!
Made of Galvalume steel, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal panel that integrates the steel plate and insulation.
During installation, insulation is applied even to the parts where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with a high heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and warm winter.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Being lighter than other roofing materials, it minimizes sway during earthquakes, providing earthquake resistance.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and among our construction achievements, Aijii Industry’s Super Galtect is the most popular and highly regarded!

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 laid over, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”

Advantages of the Overlay Method

Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” there is almost no need for demolition work, meaning that very little waste is generated.
This is its most significant feature, leading to various advantages.

The only part that requires demolition and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to complete roof replacement, the cost is lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s website).
Building materials used in structures constructed before 2004 may 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, we can complete the work in a shorter time frame than painting or re-roofing. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost cheaper.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an environment that is different from usual.
When scaffolding is set up, there may be inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or being unable to open windows. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is certainly a significant advantage.

Our company specializes in exterior renovation work, but the roof overlay (cover method) is the most frequently performed service we provide. We are very grateful that we have been continuously able to carry out roof overlay (cover method) projects without interruption.

Tips for Estimating Exterior Painting and Roof Repair

If you are considering exterior painting or roof repair around Totsuka-ku, it is important to have knowledge about your budget and estimates!

◇Basic Knowledge to Know Before Requesting an Estimate

Before requesting an estimate, it is important to understand the processes and roles involved in exterior painting and roof repair. Each step directly affects the quality and durability of the paint, which is also reflected in the costs. Additionally, the type of paint used and the area to be painted also impact the costs, so be sure to gather this information as well. Furthermore, it is essential to check the reliability, track record, and level of after-sales service of the contractor to ensure you can trust them with your project.

◇Reasons to Obtain Estimates from Multiple Contractors

Exterior painting and roof repairs are large-scale projects, and it is not uncommon for costs to be high. Therefore, it is recommended to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

The services and prices vary by contractor, and comparing estimates makes it easier to choose a contractor that fits your budget. Additionally, it helps to identify inappropriate estimates or unclear items. This not only helps in understanding unnecessary costs but also prevents troubles after the contract is signed.

Estimates can be requested by applying through the contractor’s website or by contacting them directly.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. offers free inspections and estimates, so feel free to consult us for comparative estimates!

◇ How to Read Estimates and Points for Comparison

When comparing estimates, key points include each item, total amount, materials used, construction methods, and after-service. For example, if only one part is inexpensive, it is necessary to determine whether it is truly reasonable. It is advisable to compare each estimate and choose based on the overall balance.

◇ Checkpoints for Additional Costs

In exterior painting and roof repairs, additional costs may arise. By understanding the checkpoints in advance, you can prevent going over budget. Setting up scaffolding is necessary for the work. Be sure to confirm whether the cost of scaffolding is included in the estimate.

Moreover, in older buildings, damage may progress more than it appears, and if there are many areas to be repaired, additional costs may incur. Furthermore, the type of paint used can also affect costs. If durability and appearance are prioritized, more expensive paint options may be considered.

By checking the detailed breakdown when obtaining estimates, you can reduce the risk of incurring high additional costs.

Post-Construction Maintenance

◇ Importance of Post-Construction Maintenance

Post-exterior painting and roof repair maintenance is a crucial factor in extending the lifespan of your home. Neglecting maintenance can lead to the newly painted exterior and repaired roof deteriorating quickly, resulting in the risk of incurring high costs. The exterior walls and roof of a building are constantly exposed to harsh natural environments such as rain, wind, UV rays, and temperature changes. Regular maintenance can minimize damage and maintain the beauty and comfort of your home. Additionally, it can help avoid large-scale repair work and the associated significant expenses.

◇ Maintenance Methods and Frequency

Effective maintenance methods after construction include inspections by professional contractors. This allows for early detection and repair of minor damages. The recommended frequency for maintenance is generally every 5 years for exterior painting and every 3 years for roof repairs. This is just a guideline and may vary based on local climate conditions and the structure of the house.

Implement regular maintenance to protect your valuable home. If you are considering exterior painting or roof repairs around Totsuka-ku, please contact Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. We handle repairs and renovations for roofs, rain gutters, and exteriors, and we are committed to meeting all your needs. Trust Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. for prompt and careful work.
