Garage door weatherstripping seals the sides and top of the door against the frame. Cracked, compressed, or loose material can leave gaps that admit wind, rain, and insects. Shockwave installs correctly sized replacement weatherstripping.

Common Causes

UV Degradation
Austin's sun breaks down rubber and vinyl weatherstripping faster than in cooler regions.
Compression Over Time
The foam or rubber compresses with repeated door cycles until it no longer seals.
Physical Damage
Nicks, tears, or sections pulled away from the frame by wind or impact.
Mold or Dry Rot
Moisture trapped in the seal causes mold and rot, especially on wood frames.
Improper Original Installation
Weatherstripping that was the wrong type or size from the start.

How We Fix It

We remove the old material, clean the frame surface, and install a correctly sized vinyl or rubber seal. We can also inspect the bottom seal for gaps.

Repair work is completed the same day the technician arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between bottom seal and weatherstripping?

The bottom seal runs across the bottom of the door panel itself. Weatherstripping (also called stop molding seal) runs along the inside of the door frame on the sides and top. You typically need both for a complete seal.

Will new weatherstripping help with noise?

Yes, a tight seal against the frame significantly reduces outside noise. If your garage is adjacent to a bedroom, good weatherstripping makes a noticeable difference.

How much does weatherstripping replacement cost?

Call now for upfront pricing over the phone. We’ll assess your specific door and give you a fair price before we start.

Can I install weatherstripping myself?

The side weatherstripping is a DIY-friendly project with the right materials. Top seal replacement is trickier, especially on heavy doors. We recommend professional installation for the bottom seal and top seal to ensure proper fit and tension.

How often should weatherstripping be replaced?

Replace it based on condition rather than a fixed schedule. Cracks, flattened sections, and material pulling away from the frame are signs that service is needed.
