Garage Door Weatherproofing

Garage Door Weatherproofing Service by Universal Garage Door & Gate Repair: Keep the Elements Out and Comfort In!

The Hunt for Weatherproofing

Imagine your garage door as the brave protector at the entrance of your home, standing strong against the wind, rain, and even small pests trying to make themselves at home. But even protectors need some care. Weatherproofing from Universal Garage Door & Gate Repair ensures your door is not just a barrier of metal or wood; it’s a strong gate against whatever nature throws our way.

Why is weatherproofing important? Well, think about wearing a raincoat with holes. It doesn’t quite work, right? Proper weatherproofing helps maintain the internal temperature, lower energy costs, avoid water damage, and keep pesky pests out. Did you know those little ants could throw big parties in your garage if they had the chance?

Defenses and Barriers: Our Weatherproofing Techniques

Our weatherproofing services come with features that even a highly skilled group wouldn’t mind. Here’s a list of our offerings that make our clients happy:

• Weatherstripping Your Shield: Think of your garage door like a warm cinnamon roll. Weatherstripping acts like the dough, sealing in the coziness of your dry garage. We install new weatherstrips that fit your door snugly, stopping anything but air from sneaking through cracks.
• Sealing Your Boundary: Picture silicone sealant as the protective moat around your home. We apply sealant around the edges where your garage door meets the frame. It’s like a line of guards ready to stop any water intrusion.
• Insulation: Your Quiet Helper: Too hot or too cold? Don’t worry! Our insulation solutions ensure your garage stays comfortable. Like a reliable helper, it keeps your space pleasant—whether you’re working on your car or starting a garage band.
• Thresholds: The Unsung Helper: Nobody notices the threshold, lying low and unseen. Yet, they play a key role in weatherproofing. We install new ones to keep water from sneaking into your garage like an uninvited guest.
• Bottom Seal Protection: Think of this as putting on comfy socks on a cold morning. By replacing the bottom seal, we ensure your door fits tightly against the ground, blocking dirt, drafts, and pests. You’ll rest easy knowing Fido won’t be barking at raccoons hosting midnight meetings.

Houston Weather Stories: A Tale or Two

Here’s a story or two from our book of garage feats across Pasadena. We once weatherproofed a homeowner’s garage that had more water inside than a kiddie pool after a week of rain. The owner couldn’t figure out why the lawn had more dry spots than a desert, while the garage seemed like a swamp. Turns out, a quick call to Universal Garage Door & Gate Repair and we gave it a speedy fix—what a change!

We used our special techniques; repaired those tricky cracks and secured the threshold. By the time we finished, the owner’s garage was the envy of the street! No more waving goodbye to precious things as they float away. They joked that if fish could walk, they’d have loved it in there!
