If you live in Aoba-ku, Yokohama and are considering a skylight replacement,
this information will definitely be helpful, so please take a look!

To conclude, the most important thing to consider when planning skylight work is
“multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain at least three estimates from skylight repair contractors that cover Aoba-ku, Yokohama!

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


One reason why we are entrusted with skylight repairs in Aoba-ku, Yokohama is that
“Being a roofing company in the Tokyo area” is one reason, but
“Our unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has received high praise from many customers.

In skylight replacement work in Aoba-ku, Yokohama,
“cost, quality, and plan” are our absolute strengths,
and we would appreciate it if you could compare our estimates with those of other companies.
We are confident, so we welcome comparative estimates.

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 installation.
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 installation, 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 In-house 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 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 simulate exterior painting colors and verify heat insulation performance using our heat insulation testing equipment!

2. Complete in-house construction for skylight installation

One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is our complete in-house construction.

From inquiry to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten in a consistent system, allowing us to keep costs down while providing high-quality skylight installation.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the person in charge does not change, whether it’s sales or construction management, smooth communication is possible.

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

Since skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, conducting it simultaneously with roof replacement or cover work can significantly reduce costs!

3. Various permits obtained and skilled workers on staff

We have obtained permits for construction work and industrial waste collection and transportation!
We have nationally certified sheet metal workers and painting technicians 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

Roof window replacement work comes with a warranty! Aftercare is available every year, and we send out notification DM every 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 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 repairs for sudden leaks from skylights!

6. Human Resource Development

We are creating various roof models to improve our skills and conducting practical training.
Since different processing and techniques are required depending on the site, we regularly conduct skill enhancement education so that each staff member can respond effectively.

Subsidies and Grants That May Be Applicable for Skylight Construction in Aoba-ku, Yokohama

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

Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project

Eligible Participants

Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are eligible for new construction or purchase of energy-efficient homes, or energy-efficient renovations of existing homes. For new construction, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor ordering the work is eligible for the subsidy.

Requirements

For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency standards set by the government, such as ZEH standards or higher. For renovations, it is required to carry out work that improves the energy efficiency of the home, such as insulation upgrades or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and complete the work within the specified period.

Maximum Subsidy Amount

For new homes, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 1,600,000 yen depending on the performance classification of the home, while for renovations, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 600,000 yen depending on the work content. In either case, even if multiple works are carried out, the total subsidy cannot exceed these maximum amounts.

Subsidy Rate

This project does not provide a subsidy based on a certain percentage of the construction cost; instead, a predetermined “fixed amount subsidy” is provided based on the content and performance classification of the work. Therefore, in effect, the government bears part of the construction cost.

For more details, please see here!

Advanced Window Renovation Project

Eligible Participants

Owners of existing homes (single-family homes and apartment buildings) who are carrying out 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 refunded to the homeowners through discounts on the construction costs.

Requirements

Eligible renovations include window improvements aimed at enhancing insulation performance, such as installing interior windows, replacing exterior windows, and replacing 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.

Maximum Subsidy Amount

The maximum subsidy is 2 million yen per household. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same residence will be up to this maximum amount.

Subsidy Rate

The subsidy rate is approximately half of the construction cost. The actual subsidy amount is set at a fixed rate based on the type of window (inner window, outer window, glass), size, and insulation performance category, resulting in a total that is about 50% of the construction cost.

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 it feel pleasant.

Energy Savings


This is also related to the high light transmission, as the presence of natural light allows for savings on electricity bills. Since the need to turn on lights during the day decreases, it is conducive to energy conservation.

Good Ventilation


By installing a skylight, you can open and close it, which improves ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow.

High Privacy


In areas with closely spaced houses, installing large windows can expose the interior of your home. In such cases, skylights are installed on the roof, ensuring 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 for installation, 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 approximately every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem cumbersome, it is recommended to perform it regularly to avoid damage to the interior and wooden structures caused by leaks.

Noise from Rain


Since skylights are installed directly on the roof, the sound of raindrops hitting the glass is easily transmitted indoors. This can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.

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

Background to the Construction
Due to cracks in the skylight glass, we received a request to replace the skylight glass in conjunction with the roof overlay work.

Skylight Glass Replacement Work – Construction Procedure

1. Remove the surrounding materials of the skylight

First, we will remove the cover materials and securing materials around the skylight. These materials will be reused, so we will take them off carefully.

2. Protection

We will protect the area around the skylight indoors.
This is to ensure that no debris falls into the room.

3. Removal of Existing Glass

Next, after removing the cover materials, we will take out the existing glass.

4. Installation of New Glass

Once the existing glass is removed, we will install the new glass. We will carefully install it to avoid breaking the glass, just as we did during the removal.

5. Waterproofing Treatment

When replacing the skylight glass, waterproofing treatment may be necessary.
We will perform waterproofing around the glass using butyl tape and other materials.

6. Restoration of Materials and Sealing

We will reattach the covers and fasteners that held the glass in place.
It is important to ensure that the installation method used is appropriate for the skylight to prevent leaks, so we will check that the fittings are securely fastened.
We will perform waterproofing treatment around the frame with sealing.

How to Choose a Skylight Contractor

There are many skylight contractors in Tokyo, 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.

● Have extensive experience in skylight work

● Confirm if they can also handle roofing work

● Check for warranties and aftercare services

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

● Confirm if they perform roof renovations in-house

By confirming 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 work experience.

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 properly, choose one with extensive repair experience.

It is also effective to refer to reviews on Google and review sites to look for skylight contractors!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from hiring them.

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior work, so we receive many requests for skylight replacement work.

Confirm if They Can Handle Roofing Work

Since skylights are installed on roofs, roofing work is often involved as well.
If the contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roofing work, it may lead to leaks after installation or high construction costs, resulting in potential troubles.

Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial roof dismantling or restoration, performing roof overlay work or re-roofing simultaneously 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, 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 made at no cost, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer warranty periods are often confident in their work, which can serve as a criterion for selecting a contractor!

Warranty periods vary by contractor and the nature of the 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.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide services at no charge.

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)

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

Even for the same repair or replacement work, repair costs and warranties or after-sales services can vary by contractor.

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

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

When comparing estimates, consider not only the cost but also
“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!

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 are cases where customers who want to keep costs down are suggested costly projects like skylight replacement, even though partial repairs would suffice.

Additionally, since they investigate and then request subcontractors, it incurs extra time and costs.
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 completely, one of the disadvantages is that their response to post-construction troubles or emergencies tends to be delayed.
