Field Diagnosis
Garage Door Weatherstripping: what to check before choosing the work.
Weatherstripping is the soft vinyl flap around the door perimeter — what actually presses against the door and the jamb to seal the opening. It's not the same as the bottom astragal (that sits in a channel under the door). Weatherstripping lives on the jamb and header, and it cracks and shrinks every Toronto winter until cold air walks right past it.
We pull the old strip, clean the jamb, and nail in fresh UV-stable vinyl cut to length. The job is usually 30–45 minutes per door. We carry black, white, and brown to match common door colours.
New weatherstripping is one of the cheapest things you can do for the garage — under an hour of labour and the door is sealed for another 5–8 years.

Repair the existing door or plan a replacement?
A sound door with one failed component may suit a targeted repair. Multiple damaged sections, worn tracks or discontinued panels can make a replacement worth comparing. Door measurements, hardware condition and parts availability determine which option is practical.
Book now!Questions customers ask before booking.
Can I paint weatherstripping?+
Don't — paint cracks the vinyl. Buy it in the colour you want.
How often does weatherstripping need replacing?+
Every 5–8 years in Toronto. Sooner on the south-facing side where UV is worst.
Weatherstripping vs bottom seal — same thing?+
Different parts. Weatherstripping is on the jamb and header (the door presses against it). Bottom seal sits in a channel under the door (moves with the door). Most full seal jobs replace both.
