Garage Door Weather Stripping Replacement in Connecticut

Damaged garage door weather stripping can let in cold air, rain, leaves, pests, and moisture that makes the garage uncomfortable. 5 Star Garage Door provides garage door weather stripping replacement in Connecticut for worn bottom seals, side seals, top seals, and visible gaps.

Call or text (203) 693-9047 if your garage door has drafts, daylight, water intrusion, or a torn seal.

Signs You Need New Weather Stripping

• Daylight visible under or around the garage door.
• Cold drafts, wind, leaves, rain, or snow entering the garage.
• Bottom seal is cracked, flattened, torn, brittle, or missing.
• Side or top trim no longer touches the door evenly.
• Pests or debris are getting under the door.
• Water pools near the inside of the garage opening.

Bottom Seal, Side Seal, and Top Seal

The bottom seal closes the gap between the door and floor. Side and top weather stripping close gaps around the jamb. We check the door fit, floor slope, track position, seal retainer, and panel condition before choosing the right seal.

When a Gap Is Not Just a Seal Problem

A large gap can also come from a crooked door, damaged track, worn rollers, bent bottom section, bad hinges, or poor door balance. If the door is not sitting square in the opening, seal replacement alone may not fix the issue.

Our Replacement Process

• Inspect the existing bottom retainer, side trim, top trim, panels, and floor.
• Remove damaged or brittle seal material.
• Install weather stripping matched to the door and opening.
• Check door travel so the new seal does not bind or pull loose.
• Recommend door repairs if a mechanical issue is causing the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my garage door bottom seal needs replacement?

If the seal is cracked, flat, torn, missing, or letting in daylight, water, leaves, pests, or drafts, it is time to replace it.

Can weather stripping stop water from coming under the door?

It can help when the seal is the problem, but floor slope, drainage, concrete settling, or door alignment may also need attention.

Do you replace side and top weather stripping too?

Yes. We can replace bottom seals, side seals, top seals, and perimeter trim depending on the door and opening.

Can a crooked door cause gaps around the seal?

Yes. If the door is off balance, off track, or damaged, the seal may not sit evenly. The door may need repair before or with seal replacement.
