“Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen in Aoba-ku”

For customers living in Aoba-ku who are considering skylight replacements,
this information will definitely be helpful, so please take a look!

To conclude, the most important thing when considering skylight work is
“getting multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain estimates from at least three skylight repair contractors
that cover Aoba-ku!

Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Aoba-ku


One reason why we are entrusted with skylight repairs in Aoba-ku is that
Kakeru Koumuten is a roofing company in Kanagawa Prefecture,
but we also have “initiatives in skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
, which has received high praise from many customers.

In skylight replacement work in Aoba-ku,
“costs,” “quality,” and “plans” are our absolute strengths,
and we would be grateful if you could compare them with estimates from other companies.
We are confident, so we welcome price comparisons.

1. Facilities Specialized in Exterior Renovation

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has prepared the following warehouses and material storage to provide low-cost, high-quality exterior renovations such as skylight installation.
We have established five bases for material storage and showrooms.

In-house Scaffolding Materials

We own the scaffolding materials necessary for temporary scaffolding required for skylight installation, allowing us to assemble scaffolding in-house.
By performing scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can cut costs on scaffolding work and respond quickly in emergencies.
We have scaffolding materials for approximately 50 single-family homes!

Storage of Materials in Our Large Warehouse

 We store materials used for exterior renovations.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we canpurchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us torespond quickly in emergencies!

In-house Waste Separation

During skylight construction, various waste materials such as roofing materials, glass, and wood are generated.
While most contractors dispose of them all together, separating and recycling waste materials can significantly cut down on waste disposal costs.

Showroom Dedicated to Exterior Renovations

In our showroom, not only can you have meetings, but
you can directly check the actual roofing materials and colors.
You can also perform color simulations for exterior wall painting and check thermal insulation properties using thermal insulation testing equipment!

2. Complete in-house construction for skylight installation

One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is our complete in-house construction.

From inquiry to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten in a consistent manner, allowing us to keep costs down while providing high-quality skylight installation.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the person in charge does not change, whether it’s the sales representative or the construction management representative, smooth communication is possible.

We can handle everything from temporary scaffolding setup to exterior wall painting, roofing work, and exterior wall overlay construction completely in-house!

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, it can significantly reduce costs when done simultaneously with roof replacement or overlay work!

3. Various permits obtained and skilled workers on staff

We have obtained permits for construction work and industrial waste collection and transportation!
We have nationally certified sheet metal workers and painting technicians, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
We are also capable of handling large-scale roofing projects such as those for factories!
We have qualified asbestos supervisors and asbestos investigators on staff, so we can handle asbestos-containing roofing materials and conduct preliminary surveys.

4. Warranty and Aftercare


The skylight replacement work comes with a warranty!
Aftercare is available every year, and we send out annual notification DM.

5. Flexible and Prompt Response

Our company is equipped to handle various troubles and situations related to skylights.

Even if you cannot access the roof at high places, we can respond using a drone!
During leak investigations, we can also use a thermal imaging camera, which helps in identifying the cause of leaks!

We will respond according to your wishes.
We also accept emergency repairs for sudden leaks from skylights!

6. Human Resource Development

To enhance our skills, we create various roof models and conduct practical training.
Since different sites require various processing and techniques, we regularly provide skill enhancement education to ensure that all staff can respond effectively.

Subsidies and Grants That May Be Applicable for Skylight Construction in Sakae-ku, Kawasaki

In Sakae-ku, Kawasaki, there are potential subsidies available when conducting skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!

Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Conservation Renovation Subsidy

Eligible Persons

The eligible persons for this subsidy are owners of existing homes located in Kanagawa Prefecture who reside in those homes on a daily basis. The eligible homes must be residences where the owner themselves lives, regardless of whether they are single-family homes or apartments.

Eligible Construction and Conditions

To receive the subsidy, the following requirements must be met. First, the renovation must target existing homes in the prefecture and utilize products with insulation performance specified by the national government, such as windows, glass, and insulation materials for energy conservation renovations. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a prior application must be submitted before starting the construction, with construction commencing only after receiving a grant decision. Eligible construction includes insulation renovations for windows, floors, walls, and ceilings.

Subsidy Amount

The maximum amount for this subsidy is up to 200,000 yen per residence. This is the total subsidy provided when eligible energy conservation renovation work is carried out, and no more than this amount can be received.

Subsidy Rate

The burden ratio for the subsidy is **one-third (approximately 33%) of the eligible construction costs**. However, even if the calculated amount based on the subsidy rate exceeds the maximum of 200,000 yen, the amount granted will be “up to the maximum amount.”

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Persons

This program targets child-rearing households (households with children under 18) and young couples, focusing on those who are building or purchasing energy-efficient homes or renovating existing homes for energy conservation. In the case of new construction, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor placing the order is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency standards set by the government, such as ZEH standards or higher. For renovations, the work must improve the home’s energy efficiency through insulation renovations or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is required to contract with a registered business and complete the work within the specified period.

Subsidy Maximum Amount

For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 1,600,000 yen depending on the performance category of the housing. For renovations, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 600,000 yen, depending on the nature of the work. In either case, even if multiple works are carried out, the total subsidy cannot exceed this maximum amount.

Subsidy Rate

This program does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of the construction costs; instead, it offers a predetermined “fixed subsidy” based on the type of work and performance category. Therefore, in effect, the government covers part of the construction costs.

For more details, please click here!

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Owners of existing homes (single-family homes and apartment buildings) who are conducting insulation renovation work on windows and openings are eligible. The actual application process for the subsidy is carried out by registered “window renovation contractors” with the government, and the granted subsidy is fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on the construction costs.

Requirements

Eligible renovations include the installation of interior windows, replacement of exterior windows, and glass replacement aimed at improving insulation performance in existing homes. It is necessary to use products that meet the insulation performance standards set by the government and to enter into a construction contract with a registered window renovation contractor. Additionally, the total subsidy amount must be 50,000 yen or more, and the work must commence and be completed within the specified construction period.

Subsidy Maximum Amount

The maximum subsidy is 2,000,000 yen per unit. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same residence is limited to this maximum amount.

Subsidy Rate

The subsidy rate is approximately equivalent to half of the construction costs. The actual subsidy amount is set at a fixed rate based on the type of window (interior, exterior, glass), size, and insulation performance category, resulting in a total that is approximately 50% of the construction costs.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Skylights

Advantages of Skylights

High Light Transmission

First, the advantage of skylights is their high light transmission.
When natural light comes into the room, it creates a sense of openness, making it feel more pleasant.

Energy Savings

This is also linked to the high light transmission, as having natural light allows you to save on electricity costs. Since you will use less electric lighting during the day, it is conducive to energy savings.

Good Ventilation


By installing a skylight, you can open and close it, which improves ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow.

High Privacy

In areas where houses are closely built, installing large windows can make the interior visible. However, with skylights, since they are installed on the roof, your privacy is maintained.

Disadvantages of Skylights

Risk of Leaks

The biggest concern when installing a skylight is the risk of leaks. Since it involves opening up the roof for installation, there is always some risk of water leakage.

However, with proper installation and regular maintenance of modern skylights, this risk can be minimized significantly.

Regular Maintenance Required

Skylights need maintenance every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem bothersome, it is recommended to do it regularly to avoid damage to the interior and wooden parts caused by leaks.

Noise from Rain

Since skylights are installed directly on the roof, the sound of raindrops hitting the glass can easily be transmitted indoors. This can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.

However, this is not the case for all skylights. Choosing double-glazed or soundproof products can help reduce the noise of rain.

Background to the Work
The skylight glass was broken, so we received a request for its replacement.
Along with the skylight replacement, we also replaced the surrounding roofing materials.

Skylight Replacement Work – Construction Procedure

1. Preparation

First, we will take precautions to prevent dirt from getting into the interior.

2. Skylight Demolition and Roof Material Removal Around Skylight

Next, we will remove the skylight and the roof materials around it.

3. Wooden Framework

Once the removal is complete, we will assemble the wooden framework for the skylight.

4. Waterproof Sheet Installation Around Skylight

Next, we will install roofing sheets around the skylight.
This is an important task to prevent leaks.

5. Metal Work Around Skylight and New Roof Material Installation

After installing the roofing sheets, we will proceed with the metal work.
If the skylight is not properly sealed, there is a high risk of leaks. Therefore, it is essential to proceed with caution.

6. New Skylight Installation

Finally, we will install the new skylight.

By properly sealing against rain and conducting regular maintenance, you can prevent leaks.

7. Cleaning

Once the installation is complete, we will proceed with cleaning.

This concludes the work.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

There are many skylight contractors in Kawasaki City, and you may be unsure which one to choose.

Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repairs, make sure to check the following 5 points.

● Have extensive experience in skylight work

● Confirm if they can also handle roofing work

● Check for warranties and aftercare services

● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

● Verify if they perform roof renovations in-house

By confirming the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.

Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work

Skylight contractors often have websites showcasing their work history.

Additionally, if they provide detailed explanations of repair work with photos, it can give you peace of mind when you decide to request repairs.

If you are concerned about whether the contractor you are considering will handle your request properly, choose one with abundant repair experience.

It is also effective to refer to reviews on Google and review sites when looking for skylight contractors!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from requesting their services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior work, so we receive many requests for skylight replacement work.

Confirm if They Can Handle Roofing Work

Since skylights are installed on the roof, roofing work is often involved as well.
If a contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roofing work, it may lead to issues such as leaks after installation or high construction costs.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal requires partial dismantling of the roof and restoration, performing roof overlay work or re-roofing simultaneously can significantly reduce costs!

Our company specializes in roofing work, so we can propose the optimal plan tailored to your needs for roofing work associated with skylight installation.

Check for warranties and after-sales maintenance

When choosing a skylight contractor, let’s confirm the availability of warranties.

If a leak occurs after the skylight installation, having a leak warranty from the contractor ensures that repairs can be done at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer warranty periods are often confident in their work, making this a key criterion in selecting a contractor!

Warranty periods vary by contractor and the nature of the work, but typically range from 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.

Moreover, some contractors offer after-sales services in addition to warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties andafter-sales services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for after-sales maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide services at no charge.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

When requesting skylight installation, obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

Even for the same repair or replacement work, costs and warranties or after-sales services can vary between contractors.

Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.

To request your desired contractor at a lower price, obtaining estimates from several contractors is essential.

When comparing estimates, consider not just the costs, but also
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality, such as glass”
“Confirmation of the process”
and make a detailed comparison! If the quality of auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!

The Importance of Comparing Estimates for Roof Renovation in Yokohama and Key Points to Consider!Hello! This is Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd.! We are Kakeru Koumute...

Check if the company performs the work in-house

There are various construction methods for skylight repair plans, including full replacement, roof overlay (cover method), and partial repairs!
The content of the plan will vary depending on the actual state of deterioration and the customer’s wishes.

If you choose a contractor that completely outsources skylight repair work, they may lack knowledge and experience, leading to proposals for repairs in the wrong areas or unnecessary work.
Customers who want to keep costs down may be suggested costly projects like skylight replacement when partial repairs would suffice.

Additionally, requesting a subcontractor after an investigation incurs extra time and costs.
By having knowledge and experience and performing the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.

Moreover, contractors that outsource work may have delayed responses in case of post-construction troubles or emergencies, which is another disadvantage.
