The gaps around a garage door let in water, drafts, dust, bugs, and Texas heat — and a torn or flattened seal makes it worse every season. A fresh weather seal (bottom, sides, and top) seals the door to the opening and cuts the energy loss in an attached garage. We replace every part of it. Call (940) 644-4376.
A garage door has four seals doing four jobs. When one fails, water, bugs, and heat find the gap — here's what we replace.
The rubber or vinyl strip along the bottom flattens and cracks over time, leaving a gap. We fit a new bottom seal sized to your door so it presses tight to the floor.
DFW slabs settle and slope, so the door can't seal flat. A threshold seal bonded to the floor closes that wedge-shaped gap and helps with water that runs toward the garage.
The stripping along the jambs and header dries out and pulls away, letting in light and drafts. We replace it so the whole perimeter seals, not just the bottom.
A complete seal is your first line against mice, bugs, leaves, and wind-driven rain — the most common reason homeowners call us to re-seal a door.
An attached garage with good seals stays closer to room temperature, which helps the rooms above and beside it — a cheap upgrade with a real comfort payoff in the Texas heat.
A failed seal lets water sit against the bottom panel and rusts steel or rots wood. While we re-seal, we check the bottom of the door and flag any early damage.
Replace the bottom seal first, add a threshold seal if the floor is uneven, and renew the side and top weatherstripping. Together they close every gap — we can do all of it in one same-day visit.
The bottom seal attaches to the door and flexes against the floor; the threshold seal bonds to the floor and the door closes onto it. For uneven or sloped slabs, using both gives the tightest seal.
Yes — a properly sized bottom seal plus a threshold and fresh perimeter stripping closes the gaps that bugs, mice, leaves, and wind-driven rain use to get in. It's one of the most cost-effective fixes we do.
Usually every few years, but the Texas sun and heat dry out rubber and vinyl faster. If you see daylight around the closed door or feel a draft, it's time — and it's inexpensive.
Bottom, threshold, sides, and top — we re-seal the whole door so weather, dust, and pests stay outside. Free estimate.
