Here, we will also introduce case studies, benefits, precautions, and costs!

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

The most important thing when considering exterior siding is “multiple estimates”!
Let’s get at least three estimates from exterior renovation companies that cover Ota-ku!

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

What is the exterior cover method?

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

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

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

Why is the exterior cover method popular?

Here are the “5 points” that have received praise for Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior cover method!

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, but with aluminum, you can expect a durability of over 40 years!
Additionally, unlike ceramic siding or mortar exteriors, it does not crack or break, which is 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 has integrated insulation material.
Moreover, by installing battens before the metal siding installation to create a ventilation layer, the insulation performance is significantly enhanced!
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, making it a highly reassuring option for long-term exterior renovations!

Point 4 Improved Waterproofing!!

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

Point 5 Enhanced Aesthetics!!

Various designs such as wood grain and tile patterns

Metal siding allows for a finish that resembles a new build, which is impossible to achieve with exterior painting.
There are various designs available, ranging from simple styles to tile and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs to 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 of interest in the catalog, you can also request cut samples!

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

Next, we will explain the “three points of caution” when using metal siding for exterior wall cover methods!

Caution 1 Few contractors can perform the installation

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 estimated costs, to ensure a satisfactory construction, if you are considering the exterior wall cover method with metal siding, be sure to obtain 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 disadvantages.
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 one of the most extensive renovations in exterior remodeling.
While exterior painting typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, exterior wall cover work can often take nearly a month.
The long construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the disadvantages.

Construction Details
 Exterior wall cover work
Completion Date
 January 2025
Inquiry Details

I am considering a renovation of the exterior walls. I would like to use metal siding that is highly durable and comes 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 in 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!

We have been entrusted with the metal siding “Aijii Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine”!
The above siding is made of Galvalume steel with heat-insulating fluorine processing, 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 (Aijii Industry/SF-Gal Stage Shine)
 Material: Galvalume Steel with Heat-Insulating Fluorine Processing
 In-House Warranty: 10 years
 Manufacturer Warranty: 10 years for fading, 10 years for red rust, 10 years for perforation
 Furring Strips: Made of resin

1. Painting of Auxiliary Parts

We will first paint areas not covered by wall siding (such as eaves, gables, and fascia). To match the durability of the siding, 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, but 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 material and secure it with screws from the bottom to the top. Once the siding installation is complete, we will install joint covers and corners. Stainless steel screws will be used for fastening the siding material!

8. Sealing at Various Locations

We will apply sealing to areas that require waterproofing. We recommend using high-durability sealing materials such as Auton Exceed or SR Seal H100, which can be expected to last nearly 30 years, as long as 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 before completing the work.

About the Costs of Exterior Wall Covering Work

This is a guideline table for the estimated costs of exterior wall cover work.
It represents the estimated costs for a 30-tsubo exterior wall cover method.

The costs for exterior wall cover work are determined by the following calculation.
Exterior wall area (㎡) × Siding unit price + Equipment removal and installation costs + Additional painting costs = Total amount
This will be the total.

Material Expected Durability (Years) Cost
Assuming a building area of 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 additional parts to be painted, the number of windows, and the equipment to be removed and reattached.
This is just a rough estimate, so for a detailed quote, please feel free to contact us as it is completely free of charge.

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 reputable contractor, such as “where should I request?”
The most important thing when choosing a contractor or obtaining a quote is to always obtain multiple quotes!

For this reason, 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 reliable 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 meets your original requirements!

・Is it proposed with the appropriate construction method?

When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to establish 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 and corrosion, or it may cause peeling and lifting of the exterior wall material.
Check whether the proposed construction is appropriate!

・Are the quantities and construction details described in detail?

If the content is vague, such as “exterior wall cover work 1 set,” it is difficult to understand the construction method and what the costs are for, making it hard to compare estimates.
If the unit prices and quantities of base water cuts and edge trims are clearly stated, it will provide a sense of security and help prevent issues.
If there are items of concern that are not included in the estimate, check the reason for their exclusion!

・Also check the auxiliary materials to be used!

Check the types of “furring strips“, “siding fasteners“, and “types of waterproof paper“, not just the siding itself, but also the types of detailed auxiliary materials!
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 a recommended fastener.

2. Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare

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

Exterior wall cover work is one of the more expensive renovations, so in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, also check for the presence of a company warranty!
If the contractor has a warranty period, they may offer free repairs within that period.

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

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

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always provides a warranty for exterior wall cover work.
We also conduct after-maintenance, and we send out annual DM, so if you wish, inspections can be done every year.

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

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

Even for the same repair, the construction costs may vary by contractor, and warranties and after-sales services may differ as well.

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

To request your desired repair contractor at a lower cost, 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 materials!

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

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

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