AFTER

Hello!
We are Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior wall painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture!
This is a case study of an exterior renovation project in Minami-ku, Sagamihara City.
For this roofing renovation, we performed a roof overlay (cover method) using Super Galtect.
The roof overlay involves dismantling and removing the existing roofing materials and replacing them with new ones to prevent leaks.

Our customer mentioned that they had their roof painted by another company two years ago, but they experienced leaks and decided to proceed with the roof overlay for future peace of mind.
We will also explain the cause of the leaks.

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

Roof Overlay Construction Procedure

1. Dismantling Existing Roofing Materials (Cause of Leaks)


We will dismantle the existing roofing materials!

This time, the water leak was caused by insufficient cutting of the roof paint, which led to poor ventilation and the growth of mushrooms in the attic due to moisture.
I believe the mushrooms blocked the rainwater pathway along the wall, causing the leak inside.
It is also important to hire a contractor knowledgeable about roofs for roof painting.
Some of the rafters and the sheathing had rotted and become loose, so we restructured some of the rafters!

2. New Sheathing Installation


After dismantling the existing roofing materials, we will process and install the new sheathing to fit the dimensions!

3. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)

The roofing used is Tajima Roofing/Tadis Self Armor!

Tadis Self Armor excels in strength, puncture sealability, dimensional stability, and durability.
It is made of modified asphalt roofing material, which is said to have double the lifespan of regular asphalt roofing.
With the roofing serving as the primary waterproofing, if it is installed properly, there will be no leaks! We will ensure it is securely attached to prevent it from blowing away.

4. Custom Fabrication (Kera and Karakusa)

Before the main roof installation, we will fabricate and install custom pieces such as the kera and karakusa!
The materials used for these custom pieces are SGL steel plates.

5. Main Construction (Aiji Industry / Super Galtect)

After processing the fittings, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge! After processing the fittings, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge! We will also perform metalwork around the skylight!
Once the installation reaches the ridge, we will install a material called a “nakanita” to secure the ridge cap. There are types of nakanita made of cedar and resin, and this time we used the resin type!
The resin type is expected to have twice the durability compared to the cedar type!

6. Ridge Cap Processing & Sealing at Various Locations


We will process and install the ridge cap. We will thoroughly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.
At the wall edge, we will process and install a component called a rain guard metal.
The nails and screws used for fixing are made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust!

7. Cleaning

We will clean up any debris that has fallen onto the balcony or rain gutter. We will thoroughly remove items like nails and metal scraps that could cause injury. Additionally, we will wipe away any footprints left on the roof to keep it clean.

Rain Gutter Cleaning

We will definitely perform rain gutter cleaning after the construction!

About Roofing Materials

The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry.
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 thoroughly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate that integrates steel and insulation.
When installed, insulation is applied even to the parts where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with high heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and warm winter experience.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Being lighter compared to other roofing materials, it also reduces the sway during earthquakes, contributing to earthquake resistance.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and our company’s track record shows that the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry is the most popular and highly regarded!
