In Michigan, particularly around Detroit, the extreme temperature swings between hot summers and frigid, snowy winters place significant demands on garage door bottom seals.
Michigan's climate, with its heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, makes a robust garage door bottom seal a necessity. Seals must remain pliable in the cold to prevent cracking and create a tight barrier against wind-driven snow and ice. During the summer, the seal needs to withstand heat and humidity without degrading. The constant freeze-thaw cycles in Michigan can also cause moisture to seep into any existing gaps, freeze, expand, and widen those gaps, compromising the seal's integrity and leading to potential damage to the garage door track or the seal itself.
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your current bottom seal for any signs of wear, tearing, or material breakdown. We then precisely measure the width of your garage door and the dimensions of the seal track. For Michigan homes, we select a heavy-duty, flexible seal designed to withstand extreme cold and prevent ice buildup. The old seal is carefully removed, the track is cleaned to ensure proper adhesion, and the new seal is installed to create a uniform, effective seal along the entire bottom edge of your Detroit-area garage door.
