Roof Overlay Work at Mr. O’s Residence in Kohoku-ku, Yokohama
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 exterior renovations in Kohoku-ku, Yokohama.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and the work we are discussing this time is the roof overlay (Super Galtect) work!
On this page, I will explain the actual results of the work done by Kakeru Koumuten!
For Mr. O’s residence, since the underlying structure was still solid, we proceeded with the overlay work.
What is the Roof Overlay Method?
The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost intact and placing a new roof on top of it, effectively covering it.
As the name suggests, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since we are overlaying the roof, it is also referred to as “roof overlaying.”
Benefits of the Overlay Method
Since we are placing a “new roof” over the “existing roof,” there is almost no need for demolition work, meaning very little waste is generated.
This is the main feature and leads to various benefits.
The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge cap, so compared to complete roof replacement, it ismore cost-effective.
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 website).
Some building materials used in constructions completed before 2004 containasbestos. 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 of you may be wondering, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses materials containing asbestos?” Rest assured. As long as it is not destroyed or crushed, it will not disperse into the air.
If you are unsure about the type of roof on your home, please feel free to consult 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 costs cheaper as well.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or being unable to open windows. Being able to return to your normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.
Our company specializes in roofing work, but roof overlay (cover method) projects are the most frequently executed projects we handle. We are very grateful that we have been continuously able to carry out roof overlay (cover method) projects without interruption.
About the Roofing Materials Used
The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial.
The Super Galtect comes with a manufacturer warranty of 15 years for the coating and 25 years for perforation.
We also provide a 10-year construction warranty!
It is made of SGL steel plate, which is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate 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 a warm winter.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, which reduce the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is lighter compared to other roofing materials, which reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial is the most frequently used in our construction achievements and has garnered 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 laid on top of another, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”
Advantages of the Overlay Method
“Since we overlay “new roofs” on the “current roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various benefits.
The only part that requires demolition and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to complete roof replacement, the cost is lower.

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 both demolition and waste disposal costs are high. The roof overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.
