Signs the bottom seal needs replacing
- Daylight showing under the closed door
- Water or snowmelt pooling just inside the door
- The rubber is cracked, torn, flattened or hardened
- The seal has frozen to the concrete in winter
- Leaves, dust or small animals getting in
- The seal has slipped out of its retainer track
Why it fails
The seal sits in slush, salt and meltwater all winter and gets squashed every time the door closes. Over a few years it hardens, cracks and loses its shape. A seal that has frozen to the floor can also tear when the opener lifts the door.
Frozen to the floor
Chip the ice along the bottom edge before you open the door. If the opener keeps pulling against a frozen seal, it strains the opener and tears the rubber. If the seal is damaged, call us.
How we replace it
We slide out the old seal, clean the retainer, and fit a new one cut to the width of your door. We also check the bottom brackets and corners, since rust there often starts where water collects. For sides and top, see our weather stripping page.

Reviews
From customers we have helped
“I had a great experience with Ismael. He worked on our garage door, was extremely courteous, and knocked the job out in record time without cutting corners. The door works perfectly now.”
“Something happened and my garage door wheels came off while the garage door was in the upright position. I called him as I was standing there holding my garage door open and he was at my house within 10 minutes and the issue was fixed within an hour.”
“Ismail provided excellent same-day garage door repair after a family member accidentally backed into the door. He arrived on time, explained the issue clearly, and gave a fair, transparent price. He didn’t just fix the immediate damage—he also diagnosed other problems with the door that will need repair soon…”
“Ismail replaced a broken spring and the wheels on my garage door. He was quick to respond, showed up exactly on time, and did excellent work. Dealing with him was a great experience.”
“Ismail came out on short notice and completed the job very efficiently. He was very open about the prices and was not as expensive as other quotes. He walked me through the entire process from start to finish and didn’t pressure me into anything extra.”
“I had put off replacing my garage door for years after getting a quote that was more than I was willing to pay at the time. A friend had recommended this company in the spring. I called on Tuesday morning. That afternoon I had my needs assessed…”
“I called Ismail and he was here within the hour. He explained the problem and immediately fixed it. The garage door works perfectly - better than before. Ismail and his brother are true professionals - and more importantly, they are nice people to deal with.”
“Very good service! Came within an hour of being called and everything was fixed in less than the hour and of him arriving! Thank you!”
