Full “Skeleton” Renovations
A “Skeleton” renovation is the ultimate way to modernize an older Japanese property. We strip the unit down to its concrete or wooden frame, allowing for a complete reconfiguration of the floor plan.
- Total Re-piping & Wiring: Replacement of aging plumbing (polyethylene) and electrical systems to meet modern safety standards.
- High-Performance Insulation: We install advanced thermal insulation and vapor barriers to combat Japan’s humid summers and cold winters.
- Energy-Efficient Windows: Specialized installation of dual-pane or low-E glass windows to improve the building’s thermal envelope.
Kitchen, Bath & Sanitary Upgrades
We partner with Japan’s leading manufacturers to provide “System Kitchens” and “Unit Baths” that maximize space and functionality.
- Luxury Brands: We supply and install premium fixtures from LIXIL, TOTO, Takara Standard, and Panasonic.
- Custom Cabinetry & Countertops: From stone finishes to anti-bacterial surfaces.
- Wet Area Relocation: Expert plumbing modification to move kitchens or bathrooms to more open-concept layouts.
Interior Fit-outs & Finishing Materials
The final layer of your home defines its character. We offer a vast selection of high-quality Japanese materials known for durability and style.
- Wallcoverings: We use functional wallpapers (cushion vinyl or fabric) from Sangetsu, Sincol, and Lilycolor, including anti-allergen and pet-friendly options.
- Window Treatments: Professional installation of blinds, curtains, and motorized rail systems from TOSO and Nichibei.
- Advanced Flooring: Selection of hardwood, engineered wood (high-scratch resistance), and “cushion floor” (CF) for wet areas.
Complex Repairs & Technical Problem Solving
We excel where other “reform” companies hesitate. Our team specializes in the technical “troubleshooting” of Japanese buildings.
- Moisture & Mold Restoration: Deep-tissue building repair to address the effects of Japan’s high humidity and past water leaks.
- Structural Stabilization: Reinforcement of load-bearing elements and earthquake-resistant “Seisaku” upgrades.
- Soundproofing: Specialized floor and wall treatments for multi-unit mansions to ensure privacy and compliance with building association rules.
Partial Renovations & Small-Scale Repairs
Not every project requires a full teardown. We provide fast, efficient updates for homeowners and landlords.
- Room Refresh: Fast wallpaper and flooring replacement for tenant turnovers.
- Eco-Upgrades: Installing LED lighting systems, smart thermostats, and water-saving toilets (TOTO Washlets).
- Accessibility (Barrier-Free): Installing handrails, removing floor thresholds, and widening doorways for elderly-friendly living.
