Use a short observation record

Note the edge involved, whether the gap changes across the width and any recent impact or flooring work. Photos from a safe standing position can show the pattern. There is no need to reach under the door or move loaded attachments.

Ask for part identification

The proposal should state whether the door seal, retainer or a floor-mounted threshold is changing. Discuss what is retained and what improvement is expected. A generic label such as weatherproofing should not hide unrelated work or an unrealistic promise.

Keep access and project details local

Use the exact West Kendall address and any unit to identify the opening. If work extends into the floor or surrounding construction, confirm the appropriate County process for that scope. Community access arrangements, where present, do not decide building jurisdiction.

Your questions

Is wind-driven rain always a bottom-strip problem?

No. Water can reach the garage through other edges, joints or surrounding conditions.

Should a seal estimate include driveway drainage work?

Only if that distinct work is explicitly proposed and assigned. Ask which problem each item is intended to solve.
