What Is Garage Door Weatherstripping?
Weatherstripping involves applying long strips of material along the edges of your garage door to seal gaps and prevent external elements from entering. These strips are placed on the top, bottom, and sides of the door, and come in materials like rubber, vinyl, and silicone. Weatherstripping not only provides insulation but also ensures that your garage door closes tightly.
Proper weatherstripping will not only improve your garage’s efficiency but also enhance your home’s curb appeal.

Why Is Weatherstripping Necessary?
Even though you may not spend much time in your garage, proper weatherstripping offers several essential benefits:
- Enhanced Insulation and Weather Protection
Well-fitted weatherstripping keeps your garage insulated, stabilizing temperatures. It prevents cold drafts in winter and keeps extreme summer heat out, protecting items stored inside from damage. Additionally, it helps keep rainwater from seeping under the door, even if the floor is uneven.
- Lower Energy Costs
A poorly sealed garage door allows heat to escape and cold air to enter, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder. By sealing gaps with proper weatherstripping, you’ll improve energy efficiency and lower your utility bills.
- Protection from Pests and Debris
Without weatherstripping, pests like mice and insects can enter your garage through small gaps, causing damage to property and spreading diseases. Weather seals also block leaves, dirt, and small stones from blowing into your garage, keeping it clean and safe.
When Should You Replace Weatherstripping?
Over time, weatherstripping materials degrade, reducing their effectiveness. Here are a few signs it’s time to replace your weatherstripping:
- Visible Gaps: Stand inside the garage with the lights off. If light seeps through any edges, the weatherstripping needs attention.
- Drafts and Temperature Swings: If you feel cold air entering or the garage temperature is inconsistent, worn-out seals might be the cause.
- Damaged Material: Look for cracks, peeling, or sagging along the seals. Damaged sections won’t effectively block debris, moisture, or pests.
- Increased Energy Bills: A sudden rise in your energy costs might indicate that your weatherstripping isn’t functioning properly.
We recommend inspecting your weatherstripping annually to ensure it’s in good condition. Replacing faulty strips early prevents larger issues and ensures your garage remains efficient and secure.
How Do You Properly Seal Garage Door Gaps?
While many homeowners try DIY weatherstripping, professional installation ensures optimal results. Here’s why hiring experts makes a difference:
- Precision Installation: Our technicians ensure the correct size, material, and fit for your specific door.
- Bottom Seals: We install under-door weather guards to prevent water ingress and enhance insulation.
- Customized Solutions: Depending on your region’s climate, we recommend the ideal type of weatherstripping—such as thicker vinyl for cold regions or foam seals for improved flexibility.
How Much Does Weatherstripping Cost?
According to Home Advisor, the average cost of garage door weatherstripping ranges between $128 to $424, depending on the size and scope of the project. Replacing worn seals typically costs around $255, including materials and labor. While prices may vary, the investment pays off by improving energy efficiency and protecting your property.
