A fresh bottom seal keeps out rain, leaves, drafts and pests and quiets the door when it closes.
The seal along the bottom of a garage door takes a beating. It rubs the floor, gets stiff in cold weather and cracks in the sun. When it fails, rain, leaves, drafts and pests find their way in. Replacing it is one of the simplest and most useful garage door repairs. Homeowners in Nashville often notice the problem during a heavy rainstorm or a cold snap.
We measure the door, identify the retainer type and choose a seal that fits, whether it is a bulb, a beaded or a T-style seal. We remove the old seal, clean the track, install the new seal and check how it meets the floor. If the floor is uneven, we discuss options such as a threshold seal. We also check the side and top seals while we are there.
Bulb, beaded and T-style seals fit different retainers, and we match the one that suits your door.
A sloped or rough floor can leave gaps. We suggest a thicker seal or a threshold piece when needed.
A tight bottom seal keeps out many insects, mice and wind-driven rain.
We check the full perimeter so the whole door seals well, not just the bottom.

Cracks, gaps, daylight at the floor, drafts or water coming in are all signs.
Many people can, though measuring and fitting can be fiddly. We are happy to handle it.
That depends on sun and use. A visual check every year or two is a good habit.
