I'm gonna drive a lot of table saying what's going on and you can draw on the future cancer hmm OK well right because I mean I've got cancer the same type of thing yes yes and and really you know the point that we like to do the the 29 point inspection for framing is is multiple things a we're getting our eyes on what's going on if there's a concern most customers don't call us when there's not a problem they usually call us when they do hear something weird so if you hear something we're definitely call us OK and so 99% of our customers that's that's them right not not necessarily something broken but something about to break well we can catch that and fix that before it actually breaks and tells you more money worst two days or a day off of work over like I'm looking forward to that but really the point is is we just wanna build a relationship with you we wanna be in your garage door guy your garage door doctor for the future so we're not really concerned on sales if you need

different platforms so if you're like all the row or Spotify or iheart or apple or Google all of those apps have the garage door doctor podcast they keep forgetting to mention that you say you have word worldwide worldwide that's awesome yes this is a great experience so for for me personally this isn't some experience so let's see what the weather 281-343-3632 going through some of the major points the 12 points actually talked about where the door and so forth how about that seal the border of the door that's important isn't it that's an important one that's a very important role the seal on the bottom a lot of times what we're going to be looking for did it shrink from side to side do you have a 6 inch gap on either side from the the rodents and pests to be crawling underneath easily inside your garage and we're going to look to see if it's shrunk and got more cards should be applicable a lot of times with age it actually gets rock hard and it starts cracking and breaking so it's like porosus that's what all people like me were you laughing we do are comparing this to going into the doctor right they're looking and so listeners are are arranged plus and they're kind of like not all heads yeah yeah this guy's right things get old such as that single throttle it can become brittle will become brittle is known as effective because it's supposed to be pliable to your point is supposed to expand we contract of this was designed for us like a weather seal way so it's supposed to do that and also does become available it will literally snapped right cruel fell apart it it will absolutely I almost think of it also in terms of of almost done a cushion for the door when it's closing from the opener so it is a little bit of a cushion it keeps some wear and tear both off of the opener the top section because that's where the pressure is also on the bottom panel so as long as the weather strip is in good condition then then you still you're getting the benefit from it if it's shrunk if you put glue traps in the corners of your garage you probably ought to have us take a look at your weather strip we can also do what's called exterior vinyl trim that has a flap on it that seals against the door so that's very common for us to do generally after the customer paid a fortune the pest control for them to tell you oh after they did their service know all this stuff's coming in through the garage open the biggest opening the biggest moving appliance that you have in your time in house so but yes so that's what that's what we found and we can help you we can probably get you 99% there I can't help if the concretes waving and and you know it's not leveled by two inches which we also see in the city sometimes so we can get you most of the way there and for most of our customers all the way where they need to be so sure Cody it's not just the reason rats it couldn't be the snakes yes right a lot of things and italics from keeping big snakes out and those are those are really worried about that and I have come across things of course I live out LaGrange and everyone's like OK you know come across comprehend last night the last names are big but there weren't lines careful and tell you one thing most row traps are great for those snake crawls upon it it will just take you with them right the big ones will make it right with them one truck go I don't know where it went so you know another term of it it's kind of like locking the door OK you wanna keep the robbers out it's something really want saying they're gonna get in sorry to tell you that but you're trying to deter them so if you got good vinyl trim on the outside of good weather strip seal on the bottom it's going to deter that road intersection we'll just say I'm gonna find the next house next door and go get in they're just going to look for another point of entering from somewhere else something else easy for we're trying to not keep it easy for them so I'm speaking with you replacing weather strip that simple bottom is one of the easiest and least expensive things that you can go to your various door to basically maintain upgrade here is commands number 281-343-3632
