THE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Ask the provider to identify the existing retainer, proposed seal and the floor contact being addressed. Clarify whether retainer repair or an uneven floor is outside the seal-replacement scope, and how the finished contact will be checked.
What may be involved
- bottom astragal
- retainer if needed
- fasteners
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Orlando
Local exposure
Orange County's storm-repair guidance states that window and exterior door replacements always require a permit, that mechanical repairs including air-conditioning replacement or major ductwork repairs need one, and that replacing broken glass in an existing frame without changing its size or type does not. It also warns that unlicensed contractors may try to take advantage of residents after a storm and that work done without a permit may not be covered by homeowners' insurance. Worth reading before arranging garage door and opener work on storm damage in Orlando, and worth telling the insurer about in advance.
