Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight construction in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

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

1. Equipment 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 5 bases centered around Yokohama City 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 set up 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 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 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, by separating and recycling waste materials, we 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 also
directly check the actual roofing materials and colors.
You can also perform color simulations for exterior painting and check 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 installations.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the same person is responsible for sales and construction management, smooth communication is possible.

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

Skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, so by performing it simultaneously with roof replacement or cover work, you can significantly reduce costs!

3. Various permits obtained and skilled workers on staff

We have obtained construction industry licenses and permits for industrial waste collection and transportation!
We have nationally certified sheet metal workers and painting specialists on staff, 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 surveyors on staff, allowing us to handle asbestos-containing roofing materials and conduct pre-investigations.

4. Warranty and Aftercare

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

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 altitudes, we can utilize drones to assist!
During leak investigations, we can also conduct surveys 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 enhance 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.

Subsidies and Grants That May Apply to Skylight Work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

In Aoba-ku, Yokohama, there are potential subsidies available when performing skylight work!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!

Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Efficiency Renovation Subsidy

Eligible Applicants

The eligible applicants 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 Work and Conditions

To receive the subsidy, the following requirements must be met. First, the renovation work must target existing homes in the prefecture and utilize products such as windows, glass, and insulation materials that meet the insulation performance standards designated by the national government for energy-efficient renovations. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a pre-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-efficient 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 still be “up to the maximum amount.”

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Applicants

This program targets child-rearing households (households with children under 18) and young couples, focusing on those who are constructing or purchasing new homes with high energy efficiency or renovating existing homes for energy efficiency. For new constructions, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor placing the order is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

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

Subsidy Upper Limit

For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 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 both cases, even if multiple works are carried out, the total subsidy cannot exceed this upper limit.

Subsidy Rate

This program does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of the construction costs; instead, a predetermined “fixed subsidy” is granted based on the nature of the 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 apartment buildings) who are undertaking insulation renovation work on windows and openings are eligible. The actual application process for the subsidy is carried out by registered “window renovation contractors” recognized by the government, and the granted subsidy is fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on the construction costs.

Requirements

Eligible works include window renovation projects aimed at improving insulation performance, such as installing interior windows, replacing exterior windows, and exchanging glass 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 start and be completed within the specified construction period.

Subsidy Upper Limit

The upper limit for the 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 capped at this upper limit.

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.

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, so airflow also improves.

High Privacy

In areas where houses are closely packed together, installing large windows can make the interior of your home 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. 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 to be maintained 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. In particular, during heavy rain or typhoons, the sound can be quite pronounced.

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

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

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

Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repairs, let’s check the following 5 points.

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

Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work

Skylight contractors often have websites where they showcase their construction achievements.

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

If you are concerned about whether the contractor you are about to hire will respond adequately, choose one with extensive 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 Roof Work

Since skylights are installed on roofs, roof work is often involved as well.
If the contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roof work, there is a possibility of issues arising after construction, such as leaks or high construction costs.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial dismantling of the roof and restoration, performing it together with roof overlay work or re-roofing 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, 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 free of charge, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer a warranty demonstrate confidence in their work, which can serve as a criterion for selecting a contractor!

The warranty period varies by contractor and the nature of the work, but it is generally set between 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.

Moreover, some contractors offer aftercare services separate from warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties andaftercare services.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for aftercare maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide services free of charge.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)

When requesting skylight work, let’s obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

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

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

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

When comparing estimates, be sure to look at more than just the costs,
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality of glass, etc.”
“Confirmation of the process”
and make a detailed comparison! If the quality of auxiliary materials is low or if processes 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 work is done in-house

There are various construction methods for skylight repair plans, including full replacement, roof overlay (cover method), and partial repairs!
The plan details 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 are cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested to replace the skylight, even though a partial repair would suffice.

Additionally, since the contractor will investigate and then request a subcontractor, it can take extra time and cost.
By having knowledge and experience and performing the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.

Moreover, with contractors that outsource work, one of the disadvantages is that response times during emergencies, such as post-construction issues, can be slow.
