Mr. Victor Longpont hired my services to remove his garage door that had become damaged after a bad rain storm. The door had not been painted for over 30 years, the bottom of the door was damaged by a badly worn door sweep that allowed water into the bottom of the door.
This post shows the five steps on how caulk the gaps in a garage door exterior edge.
Step 1: Fig.2 shows the left bottom side and fig.3 shows the right bottom side. Look at the edges of the door and determine how much caulking will need to fill these areas. This door had some spots that needed lots of caulking to fill the holes around the new door and the stucco wall. For this job stucco mold could not be used because the door was flush with the stucco exterior wall.
