Weather stripping is a flexible material that lines the edges of your garage door to block drafts, water, dirt, and pests. It keeps your garage comfortable, energy-efficient, and protected from the elements. Think of it as your garage’s first line of defense against everything Mother Nature can throw at it.

On average, weather stripping lasts 1–2 years, but it depends on wear and tear. If you notice cracks, gaps, or that it’s no longer doing its job—like keeping out water or drafts—it’s time to replace it. Regularly checking your seals can save you from bigger issues down the road.

You could, but here’s the thing: while DIY options exist, a professional ensures a snug, secure fit that maximizes protection and efficiency. Plus, we bring the tools and materials so you don’t have to guess which seal works best for your door.

Some of the telltale signs include drafts, visible gaps, light coming through, rising energy bills, or water and dirt sneaking inside. If you see cracked, brittle, or torn seals, it’s definitely time for a replacement.

Absolutely! Proper sealing keeps your garage’s temperature more stable by blocking outside air from creeping in. This means less work for your HVAC system, especially if your garage is attached to your house.

There are four main types:

• Bottom Seals: Close the gap at the bottom of the door.
• Threshold Seals: Installed on the garage floor for extra water and dirt protection.
• Side and Top Seals: Block drafts and light around the edges.
• Brush Seals: Flexible bristles that keep out dust and small critters.
  

Each serves a unique purpose, and we can help you choose the best fit for your garage.

Costs depend on the type of seal and the size of your door. For a standard garage, the price is generally affordable—especially when you consider the savings on energy bills and the protection it provides. Contact us for a free estimate!
