Here, we will also introduce case studies, benefits, points to note, and costs!

This will definitely be useful for customers considering exterior wall siding in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, so please take a look!

The most important thing to consider when thinking about exterior wall siding is “comparative estimates”!
Let’s obtain at least three comparative estimates from exterior renovation companies that cover Edogawa-ku!

Estimates and consultations are free!
Comparative estimates are very welcome!

What is the exterior wall cover method?

We will explain in detail the recommended points and precautions of the exterior wall cover method!

The exterior wall cover method is a construction process that overlays a new exterior wall on top of the existing wall.
It is possible to overlay various types of walls such as ALC walls, ceramic siding, and mortar walls.
The exterior materials used in the exterior wall cover method are generally lightweight and durable metal siding.

Although the costs are higher compared to exterior painting, it is a renovation method for exterior walls that has various benefits and is gaining attention year by year.

Why is the exterior wall cover method so popular?

Here are the “five points” that Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior wall cover method is highly praised for!

Point 1 Super high durability!!

Metal siding offers significantly higher durability compared to exterior painting.
Made of Galvalume steel, SG steel, and aluminum, there are various types of metal siding, and with aluminum, you can expect a durability of over 40 years!
Additionally, unlike ceramic siding or mortar exteriors, it does not crack or break, making its sturdiness one of its advantages!
If you use high-durability sealing materials, maintenance will be unnecessary for nearly 30 years!

Point 2 Improved Insulation!!

Cross-section of metal siding

The metal siding used in the exterior cover method comes with integrated insulation material.
Moreover, by installing battens before the metal siding, a ventilation layer is created, significantly enhancing insulation!
This improvement in insulation is one of the major benefits of metal siding.

Point 3 Comprehensive Warranty for Peace of Mind!!

While many construction companies offer their own warranties for exterior painting, manufacturer warranties are generally not included.
Metal siding comes with solid manufacturer warranties, such as coating and perforation guarantees, providing a high level of reassurance for long-term exterior renovations!

Point 4 Improved Waterproofing!!

With the exterior material being double-layered, it effectively prevents rainwater intrusion, greatly enhancing waterproofing.
Applying waterproof paper before installation further increases waterproofing!

Point 5 Improved Aesthetics!!

Various designs such as wood grain and tile patterns

Metal siding allows for a finish that resembles a new construction, which cannot be achieved with exterior painting.
There are various designs available, ranging from simple to tile and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs that match the atmosphere and your preferences of the building!
Major manufacturers include “Aiji Industrial“, “Keimyuu“, “Nichiwa“, and “Asahi Tostem“, each offering various types and designs of metal siding.
If you find a product you are interested in from the catalog, you can also request cut samples!

What to be cautious about when doing exterior wall cover work with metal siding?

Next, I will explain the “three points of caution” when performing exterior wall cover work using metal siding!

Caution 1 Few contractors can perform the work

There are significantly fewer contractors capable of performing the cover method with metal siding compared to exterior painting contractors.
Many inexperienced contractors exist, leading to a higher occurrence of troubles.
Since there is often a variation in estimation costs, to ensure a satisfactory construction, if you are considering the exterior wall cover method with metal siding, make sure to get estimates from three or more companies and carefully review the details!

Caution 2 Prone to dents and scratches

Metal siding can develop dents from impacts when objects hit it.
Additionally, being prone to scratches is one of its drawbacks.
If noticeable scratches occur and are a concern, you can request repairs from a specialized repair contractor!

Caution 3 Long construction period

Exterior wall cover work can be considered the most extensive among exterior renovations.
While exterior painting typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, exterior wall cover work can often take close to a month.
The long construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the drawbacks.

Inquiry Details

I am considering a renovation of the exterior walls. I would like to use high-durability metal siding with a solid warranty.
Since this is a comparative estimate, I would like to request a quote for the same type of metal siding as the estimates from other companies.

Proposal Details
We have proposed a roof overlay method using metal siding as per your request.
Since you had several preferred types of metal siding, we have created separate estimates for each!

You entrusted us with the “Aiji Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine” metal siding!
The above siding is made of Galvalume steel with heat-insulating fluorine coating, and it is integrated with insulation material, providing excellent thermal insulation.
You mentioned that you obtained estimates from three companies, and we were able to secure your order due to our competitive pricing and thorough explanations compared to other companies!

Price Range
 2,000,000 – 2,100,000 yen
Construction Period
 Approximately 3 weeks
Existing Exterior Material / New Exterior Material

 Existing exterior: ALC
 New exterior: Metal siding (Aiji Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine)
 Material: Galvalume steel with heat-insulating fluorine coating
 In-house warranty: 10 years
 Manufacturer warranty: 10 years for fading, 10 years for rust, 10 years for perforation
 Furring strips: Made of resin

1. Painting of Attached Parts

We will first paint areas not covered by wall siding (eaves, gables, fascia, etc.). To bring the durability of the siding closer to its expected lifespan, we recommend using high-durability paints such as inorganic or fluorine types.

2. Removal of Equipment

We temporarily remove items that may obstruct the siding, such as rain gutters and air conditioning ducts.

3. Substrate Adjustment

If there is significant deterioration, we will perform joint sealing and adjust the substrate if the exterior wall is warped.

4. Waterproof Paper Installation (may not be necessary)

We will apply a highly breathable moisture-permeable sheet over the entire exterior wall. If the building is over 25 years old or shows significant deterioration, we recommend installing a waterproof sheet; however, if there are no issues, we may proceed without it.

5. Installation of Battens

We will install battens over the entire exterior wall. The battens will be fixed at 455 mm intervals, and wider boards will be installed around the windows. If the siding used is horizontal, the battens will be installed vertically, and if the siding is vertical, the battens will be installed horizontally.

6. Metal Work for Fittings

We will process and install corner bases, end caps, and foundation water-cutting metal.

7. Main Construction

Finally, we will cut the siding and secure it with screws from the bottom up. Once the siding installation is complete, we will attach joint covers and corners. Stainless steel screws will be used for securing the siding materials!

8. Sealing at Various Locations

We will apply sealing to areas that require waterproofing. For sealing materials, we recommend using high-durability sealants like Auton Exceed or SR Seal H100, which can expect nearly 30 years of durability if the colors match.

9. Reinstallation of Equipment

We will reinstall the removed rain gutters and air conditioning ducts. If the rain gutter brackets are of the driven type, we may change them to the screw type.

10. Completion

Finally, we will conduct cleaning and a review to mark the completion.

About the Costs of Exterior Wall Covering Work

This is a reference table for the estimated costs of exterior wall cover work.
It is an estimate for the cost of performing the exterior wall cover method on a building with a floor area of 30 tsubo.

The cost of exterior wall cover work is determined by the calculation below.
Exterior wall area (㎡) × Siding unit price + Equipment removal and installation costs + Additional painting costs = Total amount
This is how it is calculated.

Material Expected Durability (Years) Cost
Assuming 30 tsubo (150㎡)
Galvalume Steel 30 to 35 years Including Tax
Approximately 2,000,000 yen
(Siding unit price 11,000 yen/㎡~)
SGL Steel 35 to 40 years Including Tax
Approximately 2,200,000 yen
(Siding unit price 12,500 yen/㎡~)
Aluminum 40 years or more Including Tax
Approximately 2,500,000 yen
(Siding unit price 14,000 yen/㎡~)

The amount will vary depending on the number of auxiliary parts to be painted, the number of windows, and the equipment to be removed and reattached.
Please note that this is just a rough estimate, and detailed quotes are completely free, so feel free to contact us.

How to Choose a Siding Contractor

There are fewer contractors that handle exterior wall cover work compared to exterior painting contractors, so it may be difficult to find a reliable contractor, such as “where should I request this?”
The most important thing when choosing a contractor or obtaining a quote is to always obtain multiple quotes!

Therefore, when requesting exterior wall cover work, let’s check the following four points.

1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

3. Obtain multiple quotes from several contractors (at least three companies)

4. Confirm whether the contractor performs the exterior wall cover work in-house

By confirming the above four points, you will be able to choose a trustworthy contractor.

1. Check the contents and materials of the estimate

When obtaining an estimate for exterior wall cover work, let’s check the following items!

・Is the proposed new siding material suitable for your needs?

Check whether materials that meet your requirements, such as durability and insulation, are being proposed!
Since there are various types of metal siding, such as cost-effective siding and insulation-focused siding, make sure that the siding proposed aligns with your original requirements!

・Is the proposed construction method appropriate?

When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to create a ventilation layer between the existing exterior wall and the new exterior wall material using a method called “ventilation method.”
If you apply it directly without a ventilation layer, moisture cannot escape, leading to mold or corrosion, and it may result in peeling or lifting of the exterior wall material.
Check whether the proposed construction is appropriate!

・Are the quantities and construction details described in detail?

If the estimate states something vague like “exterior wall cover work 1 set,” it will be difficult to understand the construction method and what the costs are for.
Having clear unit prices and quantities for items like foundation water drainage and edge lengths will provide peace of mind and help prevent issues.
If there are items of concern that are not included in the estimate, be sure to confirm the reasons for their exclusion!

・Check the auxiliary materials to be used!

Check not only the main siding but also the types of detailed auxiliary materials, such as “types of battens,” “siding fasteners,” and “types of waterproof paper“!
For example, the siding fasteners are screws, and the overall cost will vary between iron and stainless steel.
While iron may seem cheaper at first glance, stainless steel is resistant to rust and is the recommended fastener.

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

When choosing a contractor for exterior wall cover work, make sure to check for warranties.

Exterior wall cover work is one of the more expensive types of exterior renovations, so in addition to checking for manufacturer warranties, also confirm if the company offers its own warranty!
If the contractor has a warranty period, they may provide free repairs within that period.

The warranty period varies by contractor and the specifics of the work, but a 5 to 10-year period is typical.

Additionally, some contractors offer after-sales service separate from warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has after-sales service.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always includes a warranty with exterior wall cover work.
We also provide after-maintenance services and send out annual direct mail, so if desired, annual inspections are possible.

3. Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)

When requesting exterior wall cover work, be sure to get estimates from multiple contractors.

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

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

To request your desired repair contractor at the best possible price, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.
When comparing estimates, consider not only the costs but also the details of the plans, materials, and auxiliary supplies!

4. Confirm whether the company performs exterior wall cover work in-house

There are differences in costs between companies that handle the work in-house and those that outsource it to external companies, and there is a higher likelihood of miscommunication and other issues with external contractors.

Additionally, if problems arise after construction, the response may be slow, or there may be no dealings with the external construction company, leading to potential troubles.
Being able to respond immediately when something goes wrong is one of the reasons why companies that perform the work in-house are recommended!
