The rubber and vinyl seals around your garage door are the unsung heroes that keep Austin's rain, dust, heat, and pests outside where they belong. The bottom seal (or astragal) compresses against the floor to block water and critters, while the perimeter weatherstripping around the sides and top seals the gaps against the jamb. Over time, Texas sun bakes the rubber brittle, the bottom seal tears or flattens, and gaps open up that let stormwater pool into your garage, cold or hot air waste your energy, and insects and rodents find a way in. Replacing worn seals is a fast, affordable fix that protects everything you store inside and keeps the garage comfortable. We match the correct seal profile to your door and floor and install it so it seats evenly across the whole opening.
Common Causes
How We Fix It
We identify your bottom retainer type — T-style, bead, or slide-in — and the correct perimeter profile, then replace the seals with quality materials rated for Texas heat. If your floor is uneven, we can fit a threshold seal or a taller astragal to close stubborn gaps. Every job is quoted firmly and usually finished in a single short visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is water getting under my closed garage door?
The bottom seal is likely cracked, flattened, or torn, or your floor has settled and left a gap. A fresh astragal sized to your door — sometimes paired with a floor threshold — stops the water.
Can you seal gaps on the sides and top too?
Yes. We replace the perimeter weatherstripping along the jambs and header so wind-driven rain, dust, and pests can't get past the edges.
Will new seals help with energy bills?
They help keep conditioned air from leaking around the door, which is noticeable if your garage is attached or insulated. Combined with door insulation, seals make a real difference in Austin summers.
How long do garage door seals last?
In Austin's climate, expect roughly 3-7 years for a bottom seal depending on sun exposure and use. Perimeter weatherstripping often lasts a bit longer. We use UV-resistant materials to extend that.
How much does seal replacement cost in Austin?
A bottom seal replacement typically runs $85-$160, and full perimeter weatherstripping usually falls between $120 and $250 depending on door size. We quote firmly before starting.
