Roof Overlay Construction Procedure
1. Demolition of Existing Ridge and Snow Stops
We will only dismantle the ridge flashing and snow stops that would obstruct the overlay work.
2. Installation of Roofing (Waterproof Sheet)
The roofing used this time is modified asphalt. It is expected to have double the durability of standard asphalt roofing!

3. Fabrication of Accessories (Karakusa, Keraba, Valley)
We will process and install the keraba and karakusa.

4. Fabrication of Skylight Flashing
Once the main body is installed up to the skylight, we will proceed with the flashing work for the skylight.
We will process the flashing to ensure that rainwater is properly drained off the main body.
5. Main Body Construction
After installing the main body, we will place a nailing board at the ridge and wall edges. This time, we used a cedar nailing board, but there are also nailing boards made of corrosion-resistant resin.

6. Processing of Ridge Flashing
We will process and install the ridge flashing. We will ensure that sealing is properly applied to the inside of the joints.
For the wall edges, we will process and install a component called rain stop flashing.
We will also ensure that sealing is properly applied.

7. Cleaning
We will remove footprints and any debris that may have fallen around the house and in the rain gutters, followed by a thorough cleaning.
We strive to leave the site cleaner after the work than it was before!
That concludes the construction!
About Roofing Materials
The roofing material used is Aijii Industry’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 Galvalume steel, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal sheet 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 a warm winter.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is lightweight 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 among our construction achievements, Aijii Industry’s Super Galtect is the most popular and highly regarded!

This time, the cover work was completed very well with Shade Black!
Thank you for your request!!
What is the Roof Overlay (Cover Method)?
The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost intact and placing a new roof on top of it.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since the roofing 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 is generated.
This is its biggest feature, leading to various advantages.
The only part that requires demolition and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to a complete 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 website).
Some building materials used in structures built before 2004 contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to demolish due to their high environmental impact, leading to high costs for both demolition and waste disposal. The roof overlay method, which produces almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.
Some may wonder, “Is it safe to live in a building with asbestos-containing materials?” but rest assured. As long as they are not destroyed or crushed, they 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 construction can be completed in a shorter time frame compared to painting or a full roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
This also reduces the psychological stress of having to live in an unusual environment.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or opening windows. Being able to return to your 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 service we offer. We are very grateful that we are continuously engaged in roof overlay projects without interruption.
