“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 companies 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 “our unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has received high praise from many customers.

In skylight replacement work in Aoba-ku,
“cost, 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. Equipment Specialized in Exterior Renovation

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has prepared the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide low-cost, high-quality exterior renovations such as skylight construction.
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 construction, allowing us to assemble scaffolding in-house.
By conducting scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can cut costs on scaffolding work and respond quickly in emergencies.
We have approximately enough scaffolding materials for 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 can purchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us to respond 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, we can significantly cut waste disposal costs by separating and recycling the waste materials.

Showroom Dedicated to Exterior Renovations

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

2. Complete in-house construction for skylight installation

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

From inquiries 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 same person manages sales and construction, smooth communication is possible.

We can fully handle everything from temporary scaffolding installation to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior cover work in-house!

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, it can be significantly more cost-effective to carry it out simultaneously with roof replacement or cover 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 on staff, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
We are also capable of handling large-scale roofing projects for factories and other facilities!
We have qualified asbestos supervisors and asbestos surveyors on staff, allowing us to 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 utilize a drone to assist!
During leak investigations, we can also conduct inspections using 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 improve our skills, we create various roof models and conduct practical training.
Since different sites require various processing techniques and skills, we regularly provide technical training to ensure all staff can respond effectively.

Possible subsidies and grants for skylight construction in Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki

In Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki, there are potential subsidies available when carrying out skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local municipality!

Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Efficiency Renovation Subsidy

Eligible Applicants

The eligible applicants for this subsidy are owners of existing homes 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, it is necessary to conduct energy efficiency renovation work using products such as windows or glass with specified insulation performance and insulation materials designated by the national government, targeting existing homes within the prefecture . Additionally, the home must have secured seismic performance, and a preliminary application must be submitted before starting the work, with construction commencing only after receiving a grant decision. Eligible renovation work includes insulation improvements 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 efficiency 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 limited to “up to the maximum amount.”

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Applicants

Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are the primary targets for the construction or purchase of new homes with high energy efficiency performance, or for energy-efficient renovations of existing homes. For new constructions, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor who orders the work is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency performance standards set by the government, such as exceeding ZEH levels. For renovations, it is required to carry out work that improves the energy efficiency of the home, such as insulation improvements or the introduction of energy-efficient equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and carry out 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 classification of the house. 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 classification. Therefore, in effect, the government covers part of the construction costs.

For more details, please click here!

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Homeowners of existing houses (single-family homes and multi-family dwellings) who are conducting insulation renovation work on windows and openings are eligible. The actual subsidy application process is carried out by registered “window renovation contractors” with the government, and the granted subsidies are fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on 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 house 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 window, exterior window, glass), size, and insulation performance classification, resulting in a total that is approximately 50% of the construction costs.

Customer Feedback

Advantages and Disadvantages of Skylights

Advantages of Skylights

High Light Transmission

First, the advantage of skylights is their high light transmission.
When natural light enters the room abundantly, it creates a sense of openness, which I believe makes you feel good.

Energy Savings

This also contributes to high light transmission, as the presence of natural light allows you to save on electricity costs. Since you will reduce the need to turn on lights during the day, it is suitable for energy conservation.

Good Ventilation


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

High Privacy

In areas where houses are closely packed together, installing large windows can expose the interior of your home. 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. After all, since it involves opening up the roof, there is a certain risk of leaks.

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 surface can easily be transmitted indoors, which is a disadvantage. Especially during heavy rain or typhoons, the sound can be quite pronounced.

However, this is not the case for all skylights. By choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation, the noise from rain can be reduced.

Skylight Replacement Work – Construction Procedure

1. Preparation

First, we will take precautions to ensure that the interior and other areas do not get dirty.

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 water 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 water leaks. Therefore, it is necessary to proceed with caution.

6. Installation of New Skylight

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 conduct a 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, be 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 companies)

● Confirm if they perform roof renovations in-house

By checking these 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 respond adequately, choose one with ample repair experience.

It can also be 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 roofs, roofing work is often involved as well.
If the 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 may require partial dismantling of the roof and restoration, conducting 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 aftercare services

When choosing a skylight contractor, make sure to check for warranties.

If a leak occurs after the skylight installation, having a leak warranty from the contractor ensures that repairs can be made at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, a company that offers a warranty is a sign of confidence in their work, which can serve as a criterion for selecting a contractor!

The warranty period varies by contractor and the scope of work, but it typically ranges from 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.

Moreover, some contractors offer aftercare services in addition to warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties and aftercare services.

At Kakeru Koumuten, we send out annual DM for aftercare maintenance,
allowing for yearly inspections.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide support at no charge.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

When requesting skylight installation, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

Even for the same repair or replacement work, the costs may vary between contractors, as well as the warranties and aftercare services offered.

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

To request your preferred contractor at a lower price, it is essential to obtain estimates from several contractors.

When comparing estimates, consider not only the cost but also
“the items in the estimate”
“the materials and quality of glass, etc.”
“confirmation of the process”
and make a detailed comparison! If the quality of the auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid judging solely based on price!

Check if the contractor 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. There may be cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested to replace the skylight instead of opting for a partial repair that would suffice.

Additionally, since the contractor will need to investigate and then request a subcontractor, both time and costs will increase.
By having knowledge and experience and performing the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction that keeps costs down.

Moreover, with contractors that outsource work, one of the drawbacks is that their response to emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, tends to be slow.
