Michigan's cold, snowy winters mean garage door seals are frequently exposed to freezing temperatures and ice buildup. This can cause seals to become brittle and crack, allowing cold air and moisture to enter the garage. Spring thaws can exacerbate any damage, leading to potential rust. Summer heat can also degrade seal material over time, reducing its effectiveness. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of worn seals are crucial for maintaining your garage's insulation and protecting its contents from Michigan's weather extremes.
A handyman may attempt a garage door seal repair, but specialized knowledge is often needed to ensure a proper, weather-tight fit. Incorrect installation can lead to further damage or ineffective sealing. Our technicians are trained specifically for garage door systems.

In Michigan, look for signs of wear such as cracks, dryness, or if the seal no longer makes firm contact with the garage floor. If you feel drafts or see water seepage, your seal is likely compromised. This is common after exposure to Michigan's winter conditions.
