Hello!
This is Yamanaka from Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., a specialist in roofing, exterior painting, and exterior renovations located in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture!
This is a case study of exterior renovations in Hachioji City, Tokyo.
There are several types of exterior renovations, and the work this time includes roof overlay (Super Galtect) and rain gutter replacement (Panasonic/PC50)!
We implemented measures against leaks through roof work and rain gutter work!

On this page, we will explain the actual results of the work performed by Kakeru Koumuten!


We received a request from Company S, a remodeling company we always work with!
Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. from among many contractors.

1. Removal of existing ridge cap and snow guards

1. Existing ridge flashing and snow stops removal
We will only dismantle the ridge flashing and snow stops that may obstruct the

roof overlay work!

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet)
The roofing used is Nissin Kogyo/Kappa 23!
It is made of modified asphalt roofing material, which is said to have double the durability of standard asphalt roofing.
As a primary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is solid, there will be no leaks!

We will securely adhere it to prevent it from blowing away. [/chat]

3. Custom Fabrication (Karakusa and Keraba)

3. Custom Fabrication (Karakusa and Keraba)

Before the main roofing work, we will fabricate and install the custom pieces such as keraba and karakusa!


The custom pieces used are specifically for Galtect and are made of the same material, SGL steel plate.

4. Main Construction (Aiji Industrial/Super Galtect)

4. Main Construction (Aiji Industrial/Super Galtect)
After processing the

components, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge!
Once we have installed it up to the ridge, we will set up the necessary materials to secure the ridge cap, known as the kanban. There are two types of kanban: cedar and resin, and this time we used the resin type!
The resin type is expected to have three times the durability of the cedar type!

5. Processing of Ridge Cap and Sealing at Various Locations

5. Processing of Ridge Cap and Sealing at Various Locations
We will process and install the ridge cap

. We will thoroughly apply sealing on the inside of the joints.

The nails and screws used for securing are made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust!

6. Cleaning

6. Cleaning
We will clean up the debris that has fallen onto the balcony and rain gutters. We will thoroughly carry out this task as nails and metal scraps can lead to injuries. [/chat]

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.
Our company also provides a 10-year construction warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
The 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 a highly heat-resistant 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 minimizes the sway during earthquakes, contributing to earthquake resistance.
It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and the Super Galtect from Aijii Industry is the most frequently used in our construction achievements, gaining significant attention!

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 roofs are layered, it is also referred to as “layered roofing.”

Advantages of the overlay method

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

The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge cap, making it more cost-effective compared to complete roof replacement.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for more details, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website).
Building materials used in constructions completed before 2004 may contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to demolish due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for demolition and waste disposal are also high. The 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 asbestos-containing materials?” 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 consult us.

Additionally, the work can be completed in a shorter time frame compared to painting or complete replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the costs more affordable.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
If scaffolding is erected, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or opening windows. Being able to return to your normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.

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

Rain Gutter Replacement Work Procedure

1. Dismantling Existing Rain Gutters

1. Dismantling Existing Rain Gutters
We will remove the eaves gutter and brackets carefully to avoid damaging the fascia!

2. Installation of New Eaves Brackets

2. Installation of New Eaves Brackets
We will install new eaves brackets. When installing the brackets, we will use kite string or a chalk line to ensure the proper slope for the rain gutter. The slope of the rain gutter is very important!

Note that due to the fascia (where the eaves brackets were previously installed) or the building’s distortion, even if the slope is set with the brackets, there may be backflow. It is important to check the slope with a level against the fascia before attaching the brackets!

3. Installation of Eaves Gutter and Downspout

3. Installation of Eaves Gutter and Downspout
We will install a new eaves gutter!

4. Connection of Downspout

4. Connection of Downspout
We will connect the newly installed downspout to the eaves gutter!

5. Water Flow Test and Cleaning to Complete!

That’s all!

For the eaves gutter, we used Panasonic/PC50.
It has strength due to the steel plate inside.
