Distinguish the moving seal from frame trim

Explain which edge lets in daylight or debris and whether the material moves with the door. This simple description helps Ethan’s plan the right assessment. A full-perimeter quote and a bottom-strip replacement should not be compared as if they contain identical work.

Address rubbing as well as gaps

Mention if a new strip or previous repair began dragging against the door. Correct fit should be assessed rather than covering the problem with more material. If movement has become abnormal, stop cycling the door until its condition is understood.

Keep exterior concerns in the right scope

At your Kendale Lakes property, explain any water collecting outside the garage and recent alterations around the opening. A door seal proposal can then state what it addresses and which drainage or building-envelope concerns remain separate.

Your questions

Do perimeter seals replace the bottom seal?

They protect different edges. The proposed scope should identify whether one or both types need attention.

Should weatherstripping make the opener work harder?

Report a change in movement after seal work. Do not assume more resistance means a better seal.
