The rubber seals along the bottom and sides of a garage door take constant abuse from sun, temperature swings, and the door dragging across them thousands of times a year. Once they crack or flatten, the garage stops being sealed against drafts, water, dust, and small pests looking for a way in.
Cascade Garage Doors replaces bottom seals, side weatherstripping, and threshold seals for Arlington Heights, IL garages, fitting the correct profile to your specific track type so the new seal actually closes the gap instead of just sitting against it.
How the Job Gets Done
Seal profile identification
We identify the correct seal profile for your track type, since a mismatched profile will not seal properly.
Old seal removal
Cracked or flattened seal material is fully removed rather than layered over with a new piece.
New seal installation
Bottom, side, and top seals are fitted and secured so they compress evenly against the frame.
Seal test under load
The door is closed and checked for daylight gaps or drafts along the entire perimeter.
What You Can Expect
Correct profile matching
We fit the seal profile made for your specific track style rather than a generic one that will not hold properly.
Full perimeter coverage
Bottom, side, and top seals are all checked, since a gap in any one location undermines the whole seal.
Draft and energy improvement
A properly sealed door noticeably reduces drafts, which matters if the garage is attached to living space.
Pest entry prevention
Closing the gap along the bottom edge removes one of the most common entry points for rodents and insects.
Garage Door Weatherstripping & Seal Replacement Questions Answered
How often does garage door weatherstripping need to be replaced?
Typically every few years, though sun exposure and climate extremes can shorten that. Cracking, flattening, or visible daylight under the door are the clearest signs it is due.
Will new weatherstripping actually reduce drafts noticeably?
Yes, particularly along the bottom seal, which is usually the largest gap on an older door. It will not match a fully insulated wall, but the difference is noticeable, especially in an attached garage. Call 1 (833) 652-7571 for an assessment.
Can weatherstripping really keep pests out of the garage?
A properly fitted bottom seal closes off the most common entry gap for rodents and insects along the floor line, though it works best combined with sealed gaps elsewhere around the door frame.
