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

Although the cost is 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 popular?

We would like to introduce the “5 points” that have received positive feedback for Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior wall cover method!

Point 1　Super high durability!!

Metal siding offers significantly higher durability compared to exterior painting.
Galvalume steel, SGL steel, and aluminum are 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.
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, from simple styles to tile and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs that match the atmosphere of the building and your preferences!
Major manufacturers include “Aiji Industrial“, “Keimyuu“, “Nichihara“, and “Asahi Tostem“, each offering a wide range of types and designs of metal siding.
If you’re interested in a product from the catalog, you can also request cut samples!

What are the points to be aware of when doing 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, make 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 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 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 close to a month.
The long construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the disadvantages.

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 challenging to find a reliable contractor, such as “where should I request the work?”
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.

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, confirm whether the siding proposed aligns with your original requirements!

・Is the proposed installation method appropriate?

When performing exterior wall cover work, it is necessary to create a ventilation layer between the existing wall and the new siding material using a method called “ventilation method.”
If you skip the ventilation layer and apply the siding directly, moisture cannot escape, which could lead to mold, corrosion, or peeling and lifting of the siding material.
Check whether the proposed work is appropriate!

・Are the quantities and construction details clearly specified?

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, making it hard to compare estimates.
Having clear unit prices and quantities for items like foundation water cuts and trim lengths will provide reassurance and help prevent issues.
If there are items of concern that are not included in the estimate, 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, siding fasteners are screws, and the overall cost can 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 covering work, make sure to check for warranties.

Since exterior wall covering work is one of the more expensive types of exterior renovations, it’s important to confirm not only the manufacturer’s warranty but also whether the contractor offers their 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 setting is typical.

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

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. always includes a warranty with their exterior wall covering 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 covering work, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

The cost of the same repair can vary between contractors, as can the warranties and after-sales services offered.

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

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

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

There are differences in costs between companies that handle the work in-house and those that outsource to external companies, and issues such as miscommunication with external contractors can easily arise.

Moreover, if problems occur after construction, the response may be slow, or there may be no dealings with the external construction company, leading to potential troubles.
One reason to recommend companies that perform the work in-house is that they can respond immediately if any issues arise!
