A worn bottom seal allows dust and debris to enter your garage. It also lets out conditioned air, increasing energy costs. Replacing a damaged seal is crucial for maintaining your home's comfort and efficiency.

The most frequent issue is a damaged or worn bottom seal. This is especially true in dry climates like New Mexico. A faulty seal allows dust, debris, and air to enter your garage. Replacing it is a simple but important fix.
Look for cracks, tears, or stiffness in the seal. If you see dust or feel drafts coming into your garage, it's a sign of a failing seal. Any visible gaps between the seal and the floor mean it's not working properly. We can inspect your Albuquerque door.
