“cost, quality, and plans” are our absolute strengths,
1. Equipment Specialized for Exterior Renovation
At Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., we have 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 conducting 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 single-family homes!
Storage of Materials in Our Large Warehouse
We store materials used for exterior renovations.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, you canpurchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, so we canrespond 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, significant cost reductions on waste disposal can be achieved.
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 same person will manage sales and construction, smooth communication is possible.
We can handle everything from temporary scaffolding setup to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior cover work completely in-house!
Skylight installation involves dismantling or removing roofing materials, so by performing it simultaneously with roof replacement or cover work, you can significantly reduce costs!
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 certified metalworking and painting technicians on staff, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
We are also capable of handling large-scale roofing projects for factories and other facilities!
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.
If you are unable to access the roof at high altitudes, we can utilize drones to assist!
During leak investigations, we can also use 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 by ourselves to enhance our skills and conducting practical training.
Since different processing and techniques are required depending on the site, we regularly conduct skill enhancement training so that each staff member can respond appropriately.
Subsidies and Grants That May Apply to Skylight Construction in Arawaka-ku, Tokyo
In Arawaka-ku, Tokyo, 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, as well as 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, the condition is to carry out work that improves the energy efficiency of the home, such as insulation renovations or the introduction of energy-saving equipment. In both cases, it is necessary to contract with a registered business and carry out the work within the specified period.
Maximum Subsidy Amount
For new construction, the maximum subsidy amount ranges from 400,000 yen to 1,600,000 yen per unit, depending on the performance category of the home. For renovations, the maximum subsidy amount is 400,000 yen to 600,000 yen per unit, depending on the content of the work. In either case, even if multiple works are carried out, the total subsidy amount cannot exceed this maximum limit.
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 of the work and performance category. 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 subsidies are fully refunded to the homeowners through discounts on construction costs.
Requirements
The eligible work includes window renovation aimed at improving 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 as a fixed amount 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.

Customer Feedback
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 related to the high light transmission, as the presence of natural light allows for savings on electricity bills. It reduces the need to turn on lights during the day, making it suitable for energy conservation.
Good Ventilation
By installing a skylight, it can be opened and closed, improving ventilation.
Warm air rises, enhancing airflow as well.
High Privacy
In areas with closely spaced houses, installing large windows can expose the interior of your home. However, with skylights, since they are installed on the roof, 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 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 every 5 to 10 years to prevent leaks. While maintenance may seem bothersome, 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 can easily be 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.

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.
We will take precautions to ensure that no debris falls indoors.
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 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 matches the type of skylight used, as improper installation can lead to leaks. 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 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:
● They 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 checking the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.
They 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 worried 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 the roof, roofing work is often involved.
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 dismantling of the roof and 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 aftercare services
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 done free of charge, providing peace of mind!
Additionally, a company that offers a warranty is a sign of confidence in their work, which can serve as a criterion for selecting a contractor!
The warranty period varies by contractor and the nature of the work, but it typically ranges from 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a leak warranty.
Moreover, some contractors offer aftercare services separate from warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties andaftercare services.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. sends out annual DM for aftercare maintenance, allowing for yearly inspections.
For simple repairs like partial sealing, we provide services free of charge.
Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)
When requesting skylight installation, be sure to get estimates from multiple contractors.
Even for the same repair or replacement work, the costs can vary between contractors, as well as the warranties and aftercare services offered.
Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.
To request your desired repair contractor at a lower 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, etc.”
“Verification of the process”
and make a detailed comparison! If the quality of auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!
Check if the contractor performs the work 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 subcontracts 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 to replace the skylight, which can be expensive, even though partial repairs would suffice.
Additionally, since they need to investigate and then request subcontractors, it can take extra time and cost.
By having knowledge and experience and performing the work in-house, we can provide responsible construction while keeping costs down.
Moreover, contractors that subcontract work may have delayed responses in emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, which is one of the drawbacks.
