        "text": "While replacing some types of weatherstripping can be a DIY project, especially for simple peel-and-stick applications, many sliding door systems require professional installation. Incorrectly installed weatherstripping can be ineffective, leading to continued drafts and energy loss, or even damage to the door itself. A professional ensures proper material selection, precise measurement, and correct installation for maximum effectiveness and longevity, which is particularly important for the larger, heavier sliding doors common in the Bay Area.",
