Hello!

This is a case study of an exterior renovation project requested by Company S in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and this project involves the roof overlay (cover method) work!
We implemented leak prevention measures through the roofing work!

On this page, I will explain the actual results of the work carried out by Kakeru Koumuten!

Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.

Roof Overlay (Cover Method) Construction Procedure

1. Dismantling of Existing Roof Ridge Flashing

Dismantling ridge metal
We will dismantle the existing roofing materials (ridge metal, snow guards) that are unnecessary for the

roof overlay method! The existing wooden batten in the photo is made of wood. The lifespan of wooden battens is about 10 to 15 years. Exceeding the lifespan can lead to corrosion and discoloration, resulting in the ridge metal coming loose or being blown away.

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)

Waterproof sheet

The roofing used is

Nisshin Kogyo/Kappa 23!
It is made of modified asphalt roofing, which is said to have double the lifespan of regular asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is solid, there will be no leaks!
We will ensure it is firmly adhered to prevent it from blowing away.

3. Main Body Construction (Aijii Kogyo/Super Galtect)

4. Ridge Metal Processing & Sealing at Various Locations

ridge cap

Once the roof is completed up to the ridge, we will install the necessary materials called “nakanuki” to secure the ridge cap. There are types of nakanuki made from cedar and resin, and this time we used cedar! Next, we will process and install the ridge cap. We will thoroughly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.

5. Cleaning

cleaning

We will clean up any debris that has fallen onto the balcony or rain gutters. We will thoroughly carry this out as nails and metal fragments can lead to injuries.

The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial.
The Super Galtect comes with a manufacturer warranty of 15 years for the coating and 25 years for perforation.
We also provide a 10-year construction warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is tightly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates the steel plate and insulation.
When installed, insulation is applied even to the parts where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with a highly heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and a warm winter.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Moreover, it is lightweight compared to other roofing materials, which reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and our construction records show that the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial is the most popular and highly regarded!

What is the Roof Overlay (Cover Method)?

The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost as it is and placing a new roof on top of it, effectively covering it.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since the roof is laid over, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”

Advantages of the Overlay Method

Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning very little waste is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various advantages.

The only part that requires dismantling and waste disposal is the ridge cap, so compared to a complete roof replacement, the cost is lower.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website).
Some building materials used in structures built before 2004 contain asbestos. Because materials containing asbestos have a high environmental impact, dismantling them is also difficult, resulting in high costs for both demolition and waste disposal. The roof overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.

Some may wonder, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses materials containing asbestos?” but rest assured. As long as there is no destruction or crushing, it will not disperse into the air.
If you are unsure about the type of roof on your home, please feel free to consult with us.

Additionally, the construction can be completed in a shorter period than painting or roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or opening windows. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.

Our company specializes in roofing work, but the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work we undertake. We are very grateful that we have been continuously engaged in roof overlay projects without interruption.
