Describe the first sign of water

If the complaint is rain, note whether moisture first appears at the bottom, a side edge or higher on the door. Do not assume the bottom strip is responsible just because the final puddle is on the floor. Safe existing photos can help establish the path.

Match the repair to the installed door

Ask the proposal to name the seal and any retainer replacement. An old part may have changed shape with use, so a visual approximation is not always an appropriate order. Keep the door model available and separate cosmetic touch-up from functional work.

Coordinate other work at the Palmetto Bay opening

Mention planned resurfacing, paving or trim changes before the seal is selected. If the remedy includes more than weatherstripping, use the Village’s project resources for that added scope. The exact address matters when an older document uses a wider Perrine label.

Your questions

Is a floor threshold the same part as a bottom seal?

No. One is attached at the floor and the other follows the door’s lower edge. Ask why either is proposed.

Should I choose the thickest available strip?

Select a compatible profile for the actual retainer and gap. Thickness alone does not establish a proper repair.
