Check the condition of the retainer
If the flexible strip has pulled out, the mounting channel may also need attention. Show the affected length without removing brackets. A quote for a new strip alone should not overlook a bent or damaged retainer that prevents it from staying in place.
Explain the moisture pattern
Describe whether moisture appears after wind-driven rain, after washing the driveway or at other times. That timing helps define what needs inspection. It does not prove that every wet area is caused by a defective bottom seal.
Review the result at the opening
After the agreed work, ask to review the closed-door contact and any remaining gaps with the technician. At your North Palm Beach property, point out stored items near the affected edge so the work area can be prepared without relying on the door seal to protect vulnerable belongings.
Service Questions in North Palm Beach
Does replacing weatherstripping include the metal channel?
Only if that component is included in the agreed scope. Ask for a damaged retainer to be identified separately.
Can water still enter after new seals?
It can, depending on the path and conditions. A sectional garage door is not a flood barrier.
