In Southwest Dallas County homes, garage doors are one of the most frequently used entry points—and one of the most overlooked when it comes to small structural changes. By June, heat expansion and shifting materials often cause gaps to form around garage door frames.
These openings may seem minor, but they can lead to several ongoing issues, including air leakage, higher cooling costs, and unwanted pest entry during warmer months.
Because garages are rarely climate-controlled, they are especially sensitive to seasonal expansion and contraction.
Here are signs your garage frame may need attention:
- Visible daylight around closed garage edges
- Increased dust, pests, or debris inside the garage
- Difficulty fully sealing the garage door
- Uneven spacing along door frame edges
Repair may involve adjusting the frame, replacing worn weatherstripping, and sealing gaps to restore a tight barrier.
June is an ideal time to address frame issues before peak summer heat and storm activity worsen existing gaps.
