Bench homes with steep drives
Homes on the east side sit higher and often have steeply sloped driveways. Water runs toward the door, and uneven slabs leave gaps under the bottom seal that let in cold air, snow and mice.
Pleasant Grove sits below Mount Timpanogos, just south of our home base in Highland. Its homes range from historic downtown properties to newer houses up on the bench.

The bench gets more snow and colder mornings than the west side of town. Ice on the threshold is one of the most common reasons a door won't close all the way in winter.
Pleasant Grove's older neighborhoods have detached garages, older doors and openers well past their prime. Many can be fixed, and some are ready for a modern, insulated door.
Pleasant Grove, Utah County Originally called Battle Creek, after an 1849 skirmish along the creek.
The older parts of town have a lot of brick homes with single or double garages and mature trees. Newer homes to the east and north tend to have three-car garages and standard steel doors that are now 15 to 25 years old.

Local tip: If your door closes but light shows under one corner, the floor may be uneven. A taller bottom seal or a threshold strip can often seal the gap.

Very close. We're based in Highland, just north of Pleasant Grove, so it's one of our regular stops.
Usually the concrete under the door isn't perfectly level, which is common with sloped driveways. A thicker bottom seal or a rubber threshold strip can close the gap. We can also check whether the door itself is out of level.
I give Specialized the highest rating possible. I have used them for well over a decade for all of our garage door needs. I have also referred them to a number of friends and family. They are always on-time, very well priced, and know exactly what they are doing.
