Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Chigasaki City

The reasons why we can be entrusted with skylight repairs in Chigasaki City
include the fact that “Kakeru Koumuten is a roofing company in Kanagawa Prefecture,”
but also our “unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
, which has received high praise from many customers.

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 installations.
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 installations, allowing us to set up scaffolding in-house.
By performing 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 houses!

Storage of Materials in Our Large Warehouse

 We store materials used for exterior renovations.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we canprocure materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us torespond 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 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 person in charge does not change, whether it’s the sales representative or the construction management representative, smooth communication is possible.

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

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or peeling off roofing materials, it can be significantly cost-effective to carry out this work simultaneously with roof replacement or cover work!

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, so we can 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 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 places, we can respond using a drone!
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 measures for sudden leaks from skylights!

6. Human Resource Development

To improve our skills, we create various roof models and conduct practical training.
Since different processing and techniques are required depending on the site, we regularly provide skill enhancement education to ensure that all staff can respond effectively.

Subsidies and Grants That May Apply to Skylight Construction in Chigasaki City

In Chigasaki City, there are potential subsidies available when performing skylight construction!
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 Construction and Conditions

To receive the subsidy, the following requirements must be met. First, the renovation work must target existing homes in the prefecture and use products such as windows, glass, and insulation materials that meet the insulation performance standards specified by the national government for energy-efficient renovations. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a preliminary application must be submitted before starting the construction, with work commencing only after receiving a grant decision. Eligible construction includes insulation renovations 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 limit of 200,000 yen, the amount granted will be “up to the maximum limit”.

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Applicants

Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are eligible for new construction or purchase of homes with high energy efficiency performance, or for energy-efficient renovations of existing homes. In the case of new construction, 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 national government, such as ZEH standards or higher. For renovations, it is required to carry out work that improves the energy efficiency performance of the home, such as insulation renovations 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 Upper Limit

For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit is between 400,000 yen and 1,600,000 yen depending on the performance category 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 subsidy cannot exceed this upper limit.

Subsidy Rate

This program does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of construction costs; instead, it offers a predetermined “fixed subsidy” based on the type of work and performance category. Therefore, in effect, the government covers part of the construction costs.

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Owners of existing homes (single-family homes and apartment buildings) 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 subsidy is fully returned to the homeowners through discounts on construction costs.

Requirements

Eligible renovations include the installation of interior windows, replacement of exterior windows, and glass replacements 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 start and be completed within the specified construction period.

Subsidy Upper Limit

The upper limit for subsidies is 2,000,000 yen per unit. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same residence is limited to 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 category, 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, making you feel more comfortable.

Energy Savings

This also contributes to high light transmission, allowing you to save on electricity costs due to the presence of natural light. Since you will need to turn on the lights less 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, 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. Since it involves opening up the roof, there is always some risk of water leakage.

However, with proper installation and regular maintenance, the risk can be minimized significantly.

Regular Maintenance Required

Skylights need maintenance every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem troublesome, 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 can easily be transmitted indoors. This can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.

However, this is not the case for all skylights. Choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation can reduce the noise of rain.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

In Chigasaki City, there are many skylight contractors, and it can be confusing to decide 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 Construction

Skylight contractors often have websites that 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 actually 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 is also 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 the roof, 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, such as leaks after construction or high construction costs.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial roof dismantling and restoration, performing roof overlay work or re-roofing together 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 after-sales maintenance

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 done at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer warranty periods are often confident in their work, making this a key criterion for selecting a contractor!

Warranty periods vary by contractor and the scope of work, but typically range from 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.

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

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual direct mail for after-sales maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
We also provide free responses for simple repairs such as partial sealing.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least three)

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

Even for the same repair or replacement work, costs and warranty or after-sales services can vary between contractors.

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

To request your preferred contractor at the best possible price, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.

When comparing estimates, consider not just the costs, but also
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality of glass”
“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!

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 preferences.

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 wanting to keep costs down are suggested expensive work like skylight replacement, even though partial repairs would suffice.

Additionally, since they need to investigate and then request subcontractors, both time and costs can increase unnecessarily.
By having the knowledge and experience to perform the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.

Moreover, one disadvantage of contractors that outsource work is that their response to emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, tends to be delayed.
