Show which edge is affected
A torn bottom strip, damaged side stop and gap between sections are different service questions. Describe the location and whether the door appears straight when closed. If it is tilted or hardware is displaced, request mechanical assessment before choosing a seal.
Compare the strip and its holder
Ask whether the proposal replaces only flexible material or also a damaged retainer. The selected attachment must suit the identified door. A thicker generic strip may not fit the channel or address a distorted section, so keep the actual model in the work record.
Separate drainage work at the Goulds property
If water approaches from the driveway or floor rather than a torn strip, discuss that path separately. Use County project resources for any proposed alteration beyond the door. A seal replacement should not be presented as flood protection or as completion of unrelated drainage work.
Your questions
Does a new bottom seal guarantee a dry garage in every storm?
No. Entry depends on the assembly, water exposure and surrounding surfaces. Define the limited goal of the door-seal work.
Should I order by garage width alone?
Width is only part of the choice. Retainer shape, compatible material and the actual edge condition also matter.
