How does Casa de Oro's climate affect this service?
Casa de Oro is unincorporated East County with mid-century ranch and newer custom housing, hot inland summers (95-105°F), and aging garage door inventory hitting replacement wave.. East County heat cooks the bottom seal faster than any other zone, 6 years is about the upper limit before the rubber flat-lines and stops sealing.
How often do garage door seals need replacement?
Bottom U-seal: every 5 to 8 years in San Diego's UV and coastal-salt conditions. Perimeter seals: 8 to 12 years. If you're seeing daylight at the edges when the door is closed or water puddles inside after a storm, the seal is done regardless of age.
Can I replace the bottom seal myself?
On most doors, yes, the U-seal slides into a track on the bottom panel and it's a 20-minute job. Where it goes sideways: an old corroded aluminum retainer that needs to come off and be replaced (that needs the door tension neutralized), or a custom profile that isn't a standard U. If you're not sure which you have, a pro can handle either.
