[DangeloInspections]

Yes...I see this all of the time doing inspections. WHENEVER I see a painted driveway under the garage door gasket I always recommend the installation of vinyl mopboard....also called "wall base". They have this at Lowes in four foot lengths for $2.35 each. Four of these will do a 2 car garage door.

This prevents the gasket from sticking and pulling up the paint. This will also hide the now damaged paint that stuck.

What happens is that in the Florida heat the door gasket and the paint sticks. In severe cases I have seen this stick to the point that the garage door opener "pulls" on the door until the door BANGS and snaps up. This can damage the garage door opener...I have seen at least one garage door opener ruined by this.

You can also lube the gasket a bit...I do not recommend this as much, but a SMALL amount of silicone on the gasket may prevent this from sticking. Of course, you do not want anything to be left on the floor and cause someone to slip.

If you look around at neighbors homes you will often see this wall base between the door and the floor. Now if you use Goo Gone or Oops or WD-40 often these products will remove that stuck on paint on the gasket. Then buying the wall base will solve your problem.

Why the guys that do this driveway painting do not tell you all this is beyond me. A person can also buy a 120' roll of this wall base for about $200.00 Doing this for folks would be a nice easy small business....

Anyway, I hope this helps. Frank D.
