What Weatherstripping & Seal Replacement Covers
Weatherstripping and seals run along the bottom, sides, and top of your garage door to block drafts, moisture, dust, and small pests from entering. In West Linn, OR, seasonal temperature swings and general age cause this rubber and vinyl material to crack, flatten, or pull away from the door, letting the elements in. Replacement means fitting new seals matched to your door's dimensions along every edge that needs it.
The bottom seal typically wears fastest since it makes direct contact with the ground every cycle, while side and top seals tend to degrade more slowly from sun and temperature exposure.
Why Proper Sealing Matters
A poorly sealed garage door affects more than comfort. Drafts increase energy costs if the garage is attached to living space, moisture intrusion can damage stored items or promote mold, and gaps large enough for pests to enter tend to grow worse over time rather than better.
Worn seals are also one of the more affordable garage door issues to fix, making it a good candidate to address promptly rather than let worsen.
