Garage Door Garage Door Weatherstripping Ava, MO
Bottom seal, jamb seal, and top header weatherstripping replacement. Blocks drafts, rodents, and water intrusion — installed and trimmed to your door in under an hour.
Ava garage door weatherstripping, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Douglas County. Given a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware, Ava doors wrestle with storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware.
Nine out of ten Ava calls trace back to swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We pinpoint which one it is before quoting a cent.
Weatherstripping is the often-overlooked component that determines whether your garage is sealed against drafts, dust, pests, and water. There are four distinct seal locations on a typical door: the bottom astragal seal between door and floor, the side jamb seals between door edges and door frame, the top header seal between door top and frame, and (optionally) a threshold kit on the floor itself. Each wears or fails on its own schedule and contributes to a tight seal.
We replace all four where needed in a single visit. Bottom astragals come in T-style, P-style, and bulb profiles to fit any retainer; we carry all three. Jamb seals are vinyl flap or brush, with the flap style being more common locally. Threshold kits sit on the concrete floor and create a positive seal even when the floor has settled or sloped slightly. Most homes can benefit from at least one of these upgrades.
Typical visit: 45–60 minutes per door. Installation is straightforward — measure, cut to length, fit and secure. The biggest impact is usually the bottom seal, especially on older doors where the original seal has cracked, hardened, or worn through from floor contact.
A pencil-width gap or larger means the bottom seal is worn, cracked, or compressed. Replacement restores the seal.
Drafts in the garage
Air movement around the door edges with the door closed indicates failed jamb or header seals. Side gaps let cold air, dust, and pests in.
Water intrusion during rain
Water under the door during heavy rain points to either bottom-seal failure or a low spot in the floor that a threshold kit can fix.
Pests entering the garage
Rodents, lizards, and insects find any gap. Effective weatherstripping seals them out.
Old or cracked existing seals
Bottom seals harden and crack at 5–8 years. Side and top seals last longer but eventually fail. Visible cracking means replace.
Common causes & what we fix
UV degradation
Vinyl and rubber seals harden and crack under intense sun exposure over years. Replacement with UV-resistant compounds extends life.
Floor wear
Bottom seals contact the floor every close cycle. The seal compresses, deforms, and eventually tears.
Concrete heave or settlement
Floors that have settled or heaved create gaps under the closed door. Threshold kits compensate.
Pest damage
Rodents chew through bottom seals to enter. Once chewed, the seal must be replaced.
Improper original install
Builder-grade installs sometimes skip jamb seals entirely. Adding them is a quick upgrade.

Frequently asked about garage door weatherstripping
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Weatherstripping near me ask us:
Ava sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We size springs and seals for Missouri's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
The call we get most in Ava is swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Ava has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so rusted track hardware and seized rollers turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
Weatherstripping is quoted flat-rate by scope — bottom seal only, bottom plus jamb seals, or the full package, with an optional threshold kit. We confirm the price in writing before installing.
Bottom seals: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
If your floor has settled, sloped, or shows water intrusion during rain — yes. If the bottom seal alone gives you a tight close — no, the threshold is optional.
Bottom seals are DIY-friendly if you can match the retainer profile and trim accurately. Jamb and header seals are more fiddly but doable. Threshold kits require precise alignment and good adhesive technique.
