Garage Door Garage Door Weatherstripping Jackson, MN

Our Jackson garage door weatherstripping calls cluster around stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.

Garage doors in Jackson County live with harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year. For Jackson that means watching for cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, and heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.

Jackson homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.

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.

Signs you need garage door weatherstripping

• Visible gap under closed door

  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.
