Introduction

'Is it time for a fresh coat of paint?'

When you decide to paint the exterior of your house for some reason, it's not something you can easily do over and over again, and you don't want to fail. Your first concern may be choosing a contractor and where to start. In fact, there are many troubles between customers and unscrupulous contractors in matters such as exterior wall painting and home renovation work, and the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan receives many inquiries every year.

On this page, we will break through the current situation and avoid troubles with unscrupulous businesses.never failTo help you carry out painting work, we will explain each of the ``Three things to keep in mind when choosing a contractor'' and ``Five steps to take after considering exterior wall painting.''

Three things to keep in mind when choosing a construction company

① In-house construction or not

Not all door-to-door sales companies are unscrupulous, but after the estimate and contract are made, subcontractors take care of the work and the door-to-door sales company is not involved at all. For this reason, the most common problem is that what the on-site staff and the sales staff said and the details of the construction work differ.

In addition, because a large amount of intermediate margin is generated, subcontractors are forced to cut corners, resulting in shoddy construction and the order price tends to be higher than the market price.

Our company performs painting work completely in-house, allowing quick response and cutting out intermediate margins. Therefore, we not only reduce extra costs, but also reduce troubles caused by differences in understanding between customers and on-site staff, and all of our employees take responsibility for supporting you until the end!

② Insurance coverage

During painting work, the next problem that arises is the trouble caused by the construction work for neighboring residents and the owner. ``Paint splattered on my car,'' ``Scaffolding hit the house next to me,'' ``I hit my car,'' etc.

Because of the careful site survey and meticulous care taken before construction begins, the likelihood of an actual accident is infinitesimally small, but it is a good idea to choose a contractor with various types of construction insurance to ensure that you will be taken care of in the event of an accident.

In addition to careful site inspections and meticulous work prior to the start of construction, as well as the purchase of construction insurance, we thoroughly greet neighboring residents prior to the start of construction using a process chart and start-of-construction statement to ensure smooth communication with residents in the neighborhood and to prevent problems.

③ Confirmation of contract and warranty

The final major problem is the issue of ``contract contracts and warranties''. In the construction industry, where there are many old-fashioned craftsmen such as local builders, there are no detailed descriptions of contracts or guarantees. Or the contract itself may not exist at all.Be sure to check the cooling-off system at home, warranty details, additional work regulations, etc. before it becomes a big problem later on.

At our company, we not only carefully prepare "purchase orders, confirmations, and warranties," but we also take time to read the terms and conditions on the back of the contract, and perform construction only after a cooling-off period and a thorough understanding of the construction details. . Additionally, we will never undertake any additional work that would incur costs on our own, so you can rest assured that we will leave it to you.

5 steps after considering exterior wall painting

STEP1. Diagnose the current situation of your home

We recommend that you inspect the exterior walls, roof, caulking, balcony waterproofing, etc. once every 8 to 10 years.

・Chalking phenomenon

If you notice white powder on a building when you touch it, it is due to the ``chalking phenomenon'', which is one of the phenomena of deterioration of the exterior walls. Chalking is also called "chalking" and refers to the appearance of white powder when you touch the exterior wall. The white powder is actually caused by rain and ultraviolet rays breaking down the synthetic resin in the paint, turning the pigment into powder and appearing on the painted surface.
Chalking is not a natural deterioration phenomenon, but can also occur due to poor construction, such as not mixing the paint, incorrectly performing high-pressure washing, or incorrectly performing the painting process. If the chalking phenomenon occurs when painting is done with a paint that is not suitable for the residential environment, it not only deteriorates the appearance, but also affects the durability of the building.

·Crack

AliasCrackand can be broadly divided into two types.

One is hair cracks that occur in the paint film. This refers to microscopic cracks the size of a hair. Basically, hair cracks, where only the surface of the exterior wall is finely cracked, do not have any immediate effect on the structure or the rust on the reinforcing steel, so there is no need to panic from an emergency standpoint.

The other type is structural cracks in which the exterior wall material itself cracks, and unlike hair cracks, these are microscopic cracks that are mainly caused by external factors such as earthquakes and uneven settlement, as well as deterioration over time due to neglect. is.
This is also related to the structural defects of the building. Due to lack of bracing, etc., forces such as shaking and distortion that are greater than expected are applied to the exterior wall materials, causing structural cracks. Cracks that occur in the exterior wall itself can cause It breaks the coating and appears as cracks on the surface.

・Dirt and moss

Moss and stains mainly occur when the waterproofing of the exterior walls and roof itself deteriorates and they constantly contain moisture.

Not only does it damage the appearance, but spores blown from the surface can induce allergic dermatitis, and the constant moisture content makes building materials brittle and the building structure falling apart. As a result, it is difficult to cover the damage with paint work alone, resulting in large-scale renovation work costing several million yen and costing many times more.

・Deterioration of caulking

Caulking, also known as sealing, is an elastic joint filler used between siding boards and ALC (lightweight foamed concrete) panels used on exterior walls.

Just like exterior walls, this caulking can ``peel off, break, or become missing from the wall'' due to direct sunlight, wind and rain, and deterioration over time. There is backup material for the base on the back side, so rain won't leak right away, but if you leave the hole in the wall as it is, water will leak into the frame and it will be irreversible. Masu.

・Roof misalignment

Tile roofs and straight roofs may deteriorate over time, be damaged by earthquakes or typhoons, and may become misaligned or lost. If this happens, rain and wind seep in through the gaps, and if the rainwater reaches the pillars and exterior walls of your house, in the worst case scenario, the pillars may rot and collapse. Even if the tile structure shifts in just one place, the overall balance will be disrupted and the roof may collapse. If even a small amount of damage is left untreated, if another disaster occurs, the falling tiles will continue to break and cause damage, such as directly hitting passersby. Don't just think that it's okay because it's just a little bit.We don't leave tiles unattended; we provide support for various insurance applications, so please feel free to contact us.

STEP2. Inquiry and site survey

If you have any concerns or questions about your home, please feel free to contact us first by phone or through our application form.

There will be no pushy sales or solicitation, and we will schedule a site survey to suit your convenience.

On the day of the appointment, we will investigate and diagnose any problems or deterioration of the building, including the roof, exterior walls, and interior of the house. (In order to prevent trouble, in principle, we ask for your cooperation in being present.)

STEP3. Estimate / proposal

We will provide you with the current situation, repair details, and other suggestions based on the deteriorated areas we inspected and any problems you may have.

We will provide you with a detailed report and submission of the current condition, what kind of damage or deterioration there is, what will happen in the future, what materials will be used to repair it, how it will be repaired, and the costs involved.

There are no costs involved, and there are no forced sales.

Please feel free to ask us anything.

STEP4. Color decision / process composition

Once we have decided on a quote, we will discuss the start date and decide on the color to paint the exterior walls and roof of your home.

It is a color that lasts for a long time, so it is often chosen by the whole family.

STEP5. Contract

Once the construction details such as construction period, start date, color, etc. are decided, we will sign a contract.

We will carefully read the terms and conditions written on the back of the "Confirmation Form/Purchase Order" and we will conclude the contract responsibly without any trouble, so please leave it to us with confidence!
