“Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen in Ashaigun”
If you are considering a skylight replacement and live in Ashaigun,
this information will definitely be helpful, so please take a look!
To conclude, the most important thing when considering skylight work is
“getting multiple estimates”!
Let’s obtain at least three estimates from skylight repair contractors that cover Ashaigun!
Reasons why Kakeru Koumuten is chosen for skylight work in Ashaigun
One reason why we are entrusted with skylight repairs in Ashaigun is that
“being a roofing company in Kanagawa Prefecture” is one of the reasons, but
“our unique approach to skylight replacement work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has received high praise from many customers.
“cost, quality, and plans” are our absolute strengths,
1. Facilities Specialized in 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 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 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, 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, we can significantly cut waste disposal costs by separating and recycling the waste materials.
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 assist you from the estimate to the completion of the project.
Since the same person handles everything, including sales and construction management, smooth communication is possible.
We can fully handle everything from temporary scaffolding setup to exterior painting, roofing work, and exterior cover work with our in-house construction!
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 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
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 altitudes, we can utilize drones to assist!
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 sites require various processing and techniques, we regularly provide skill enhancement education to ensure all staff can respond effectively.
Possible subsidies and grants for skylight construction in Ashigarakami District
In Ashigarakami District, there are potential subsidies available when performing skylight construction!
For details, please contact our company or your local government!
Kanagawa Prefecture Existing Housing Energy Conservation Renovation Subsidy
Eligible Participants
The eligible participants 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, it is necessary to target existing homes in the prefecture and carry out energy conservation renovation work using products with insulation performance specified by the national government, such as windows, glass, and insulation materials. Additionally, the home must ensure seismic performance, and a preliminary application must be submitted before starting the construction, with the condition that construction begins only after receiving a grant decision. Eligible construction work 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 conservation 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 of 200,000 yen, the amount granted will be limited to “up to the maximum amount.”
Please see here for more details!
Child-Rearing Green Housing Support Project
Eligible Participants
Households with children (households with children under 18) and young couples are the primary targets for new construction or purchase of homes with high energy efficiency, as well as energy-saving renovations of existing homes. For new construction, the builder or purchaser is eligible, while for renovations, the contractor placing the order is eligible for the subsidy.
Requirements
For new homes, it is necessary to meet high energy efficiency standards set by the government, such as exceeding ZEH standards. For renovations, it is required 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.
Subsidy Upper Limit
For new constructions, the maximum subsidy per unit ranges from 400,000 yen to 1,600,000 yen depending on the performance classification of the house. For renovations, the upper limit is 400,000 yen to 600,000 yen per unit, depending on the content of the work. In both cases, 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 the construction cost; instead, it offers a predetermined “fixed subsidy” based on the content of the work and performance classification. Therefore, in effect, the government covers part of the construction cost.

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 application process for the subsidy 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 works include window renovation projects 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.
Subsidy Upper Limit
The upper limit for the subsidy is 2,000,000 yen per unit. Even if multiple windows are renovated, the total subsidy that can be received for the same house is limited to this upper amount.
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 classification, resulting in a total that is approximately 50% of the construction costs.

[Oimachi] Oimachi Existing Housing Insulation Renovation Subsidy
In Oimachi, to promote the spread of renewable energy and energy conservation, and to reduce CO2 emissions from the household sector and combat global warming, a program is in place to subsidize part of the costs for those conducting insulation renovations on existing homes.

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 comes into the room, 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. You will reduce the need to turn on electric lights during the day, making it suitable for energy savings.
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, installing 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 for installation, there is a certain risk of leaks.
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 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, which is a disadvantage. This sound can be particularly noticeable during heavy rain or storms.
However, this is not the case for all skylights. By choosing double-glazed glass or products with high sound insulation, the noise from rain can be reduced.

Skylight Replacement Work – Construction Procedure

6. Installation of New Skylight
By properly managing rainwater and performing regular maintenance, you can prevent leaks.
7. Cleaning
This will mark the completion of the project.
How to Choose a Skylight Contractor
There are many skylight contractors in Ashigarakami-gun, and you may be unsure which one to choose.
Therefore, when requesting skylight replacement work or leak repairs, make sure to check the following 5 points:
● Have extensive experience in skylight work
● Confirm if they can also handle roof work
● Check for warranties and aftercare services
● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3 companies)
● Confirm if they conduct roof renovations in-house
By checking the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.
Have Extensive Experience in Skylight Work
Skylight contractors often have websites that showcase their work history.
Additionally, if they provide detailed explanations of repair work with photos, it can give you peace of mind when you decide to 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 can also be effective to refer to reviews of skylight contractors on Google and review sites!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from making a request.
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 roofs, roof work is often involved as well.
If the contractor lacks knowledge about roofs or cannot handle roof work, there is a risk of leaks after installation or high construction costs, leading to potential troubles.
Moreover, since skylight replacement or removal may require partial dismantling of the roof and restoring it, 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 made at no cost, giving you peace of mind!
Additionally, companies that offer a warranty are often confident in their work, making it a key criterion for selecting a contractor!
The warranty period varies by contractor and the scope of 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 in addition to warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties and aftercare 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 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, the costs may 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 only the cost but also
“Items in the estimate”
“Materials and quality, such as 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 company performs the work in-house
There are various construction methods for skylight repair plans, including complete 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.
Customers who want to keep costs down may be suggested to replace the skylight, even though partial repairs would suffice.
Additionally, since the contractor will investigate and then request a subcontractor, both time and costs will increase.
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 work, one of the disadvantages is that response times during emergencies, such as post-construction troubles, can be slow.
