Speccing a door for West Valley City
Spec for the winter that is coming: with 82.5 freeze–thaw cycles a year, insulated construction earns its premium on attached garages (rigidity first, R-value second), and the bottom seal is the disproportionate item — the door that sheds water is the door that never bonds to the West Valley City slab.
Every complete West Valley City quote should state: removal and disposal of the old door, new tracks and springs sized to the new door's weight, opener travel and force re-limited. A low bid usually resolves to one of those lines missing.
