If your garage door’s weather stripping is damaged, it can cause a number of problems. Not only will it be less effective at keeping out the cold, but it can also allow pests and other unwanted guests to enter your home. Fortunately, weather stripping is relatively easy to repair, and doing so can help keep your garage door in good condition for years to come.

How to Repair Your Garage Door Weather Stripping in 5 Easy Steps

Imagine stepping into your garage on a bitterly cold winter morning, only to find that the freezing air has seeped in and turned it into an icebox. As you huddle in your coat, cursing under your breath, you take a closer glance at your garage door and realize that damaged weather stripping is the culprit. Fear not – repairing your garage door weather stripping can be as simple as pie with our 5 easy steps, so that you can reclaim your space and escape the chill, while also ensuring energy efficiency.

Repairing weather stripping on a garage door can be done in just a few easy steps. First, remove the old weather stripping and clean the area thoroughly. Next, measure and cut new weather stripping to fit the length of the garage door. Finally, attach the new weather stripping securely to the bottom of the garage door. Alternatively, customers can contact a knowledgeable technician at Canadoor Garage Doors to perform this service for them.

Assessing Weather Stripping Damage

When it comes to repairing garage door weather stripping, the first step is to assess the damage. Inspect the weather stripping for cracks, holes, or tears that could allow water, pests, or cold air into your garage. Identifying these issues early can prevent more extensive damage in the long run.

For instance, if you notice a crack in your weather stripping and leave it unattended, water may eventually seep through and cause mold growth or even rotting of the wooden parts of your garage door or walls.

Checking for weather stripping damage at least twice a year is important for maintaining the integrity of your garage door system.

Now that we’ve established why assessing weather stripping damage is crucial, let’s discuss how to identify common problems.

Identifying Common Problems

Some common issues with garage door weather stripping include cracking due to exposure to sunlight, wear and tear from daily use, pests gnawing on the rubber material, or having been installed incorrectly in the first place.

To better understand it let’s think of your car- when it needs servicing do you wait until it breaks down or are you regularly checking oil levels and tire pressure?

Similarly, checking your garaged doors every now and then saves you from experiencing more significant problems down the road.

If you notice any of these issues, you’ll need to replace your weather stripping. In some cases, a quick-fix solution such as applying a sealant may suffice. However, in most cases, it’s best to replace the entire strip to ensure maximum longevity.

Not sure how severe or extensive the damage is? Call in professionals such as Canadoor Garage Doors who could come out and assess the situation for themselves. They can also provide expert advice on how to avoid weather stripping damage in the future.

Some people may think that identifying and repairing garage door weather stripping is a tedious task but leaving it unattended could result in both expensive repairs and high electricity bills as the cold air enters, ruining your heating efficiency.

• Regularly checking and maintaining your garage door weather stripping can save you from experiencing more significant problems down the road. Issues such as cracking, wear and tear, or pest damage can lead to energy inefficiency and costly repairs. If you notice any issue with your garage door weather stripping, it’s best to replace the entire strip rather than applying a quick fix solution. Consulting professionals such as Canadoor Garage Doors can help assess the issue and provide expert advice on how to avoid weather stripping damage in the future. Don’t neglect your garage door weather stripping as it could result in expensive repairs and high electricity bills.

Choosing the Right Repair Method

Repairing your garage door weather stripping can be a simple and effective way to prevent drafts and save energy costs. However, before diving into the repair process, it is crucial to identify the right repair method for your particular situation. The following factors should be considered when choosing the right repair method for your garage door weather stripping.

First, consider the type of weather stripping used on your garage door. Common types include foam, vinyl, rubber, and metal. Each type requires a specific repair method based on its material properties. For example, foam weather stripping may only require minor repairs using adhesive or caulk, while metal or vinyl stripping may need to be replaced entirely.

Secondly, assess the severity of damage to the weather stripping. If there is just minor wear and tear or small holes in the stripping, a simple patch or adhesive fix may suffice. In contrast, if there is significant damage such as large cracks or broken sections of the stripping, replacement may be necessary.

Thirdly, evaluate your personal skill level and experience with repairs. Some repair methods such as adhesive fixes or basic patch jobs are straightforward and can be completed by most individuals without specialized skills or tools. Other methods such as complete replacement or adding new tracks demand more knowledge and expertise and may require professional assistance.

Think about it like this; If you’re an avid DIYer who has successfully tackled similar garage door repair projects before, feel free to take on this task yourself. However, if you’re not too confident in your abilities or lack expertise in this area, it may be wise to seek professional assistance.

Now that we’ve identified what factors to consider while choosing the appropriate weather-stripping repair method let’s move on to practical steps for repairing your garage door’s weather stripping.

Step-by-Step Weather Stripping Repair

Repairing weather stripping can be an effective solution to stop drafts and improve energy efficiency around your garage door. Here are five easy steps for repairing your garage door’s weather stripping.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before initiating the repair process, it’s essential to gather all necessary tools and materials beforehand. This includes a replacement weather stripping kit or adhesive/caulk sealant – depending on the chosen repair method – a pair of pliers, gloves, safety goggles, scissors, and a utility knife. It is also necessary to wear gloves or protective clothing when handling adhesives or caulk.

Step 2: Remove the Old Weather Stripping

After gathering all necessary materials, pull out the spoiled weather stripping. If you are seeking to preserve good-quality portions of the old weather-stripping, use a utility knife or blade cutter for cutting them from the damaged sections.

Step 3: Prepare the Area for New Weather Stripping

With your hands, remove any dirt or residue left on the track where you’ll be installing new weather stripping. After cleaning, make sure that the area is dry before proceeding with any other step.

Step 4: Install New Weather Stripping

Now that you’ve assessed the type of weather stripping needed based on a few factors like material type and level of damage let’s install new weather stripping as per instruction provided by manufacturer available in kit or following professional application instructions available online. Depending on the selected repair method – adhesive versus new tracks – make sure to apply sufficient pressure while holding it over until it completely adheres onto surfaces

Step 5: Test Completion

After installation, open and close your garage door several times to check whether there are no malfunctions present in its working mechanisms due to newly installed methods.

Remember, proper weather stripping repair and maintenance will prevent drafts and save energy over time, which can help you avoid more significant costs later.

Now that you’ve learned a step-by-step guide for repairing your weather stripping roll up your sleeves to get the job done yourself, or contact professionals at Canadoor Garage Doors in case of any difficulty performing the task.

• According to a study conducted by the US Department of Energy, properly installed and maintained garage door weather stripping can reduce energy consumption by up to 15% for attached garages in heating-dominated climates.
• A 2017 survey by the International Door Association found that over 70% of homeowners considered energy efficiency as an essential factor when choosing or repairing a garage door, including its weather stripping.
• Research conducted by the Residential Garage Door Manufacturers Association (RGDMA) indicates that weather stripping maintenance and repair can extend the lifespan of a garage door by preventing moisture and debris from damaging the door itself and the surrounding structures.

Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before repairing your garage door weather stripping, it’s essential to gather the necessary tools and materials. Doing so will save you time and effort in completing the repair. Here is a list of essential tools and materials you will need to gather before starting your weather stripping repair:

Tools:

– Safety goggles

– Gloves

– Prybar

– Screwdriver

– Pliers

– Hammer

– Utility knife or razor blade

– Caulking gun

– Measuring tape

Materials:

– Replacement weather stripping (make sure to measure the perimeter of the garage door beforehand)

– Liquid detergent or soap and water mixture for cleaning the area around the stripping removal site

– Silicone adhesive caulking material

Now that you have all the tools and materials, it’s time to proceed with repairing your garage door weather stripping.

Follow the 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Prepping for Weather Stripping Repair

Make sure that your garage door opener is unplugged from its power source before you start removing its weather stripping. You don’t want any accidents happening while you are making your repairs. You should also use safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from getting injured.

Step 2: Removing Old Weather Stripping

Use a razor blade or utility knife to remove the old worn out weather stripping by cutting through one end piece of it along with all attaching screws holding it in place if there are any. Make sure to cut it cleanly off the entire perimeter circumference of your garage door ‘s bottom edge. Then gently remove any remaining pieces left over using pliers or a pry bar.

If there are any attachments on nails holding up portions of upper parts of seal mast on each side, take them out by gripping them tightly with pliers, then pull gently outward towards yourself until they pop loose.In case there are stripped-out screw holes or tabs broken off during removal, you should replace them with new ones.

Step 3: Preparing for New Weather Stripping

Using a liquid detergent or soap and water mixture, clean the area around the stripping removal site. This will help ensure that your new weather sealing material adheres to the surface properly. Also, measure the length of your current weather strip prior to removing it, this way you’ll know how much to purchase (take into account any necessary overhang).

Step 4: Installing New Weather Stripping

Next, Install the new weather stripping by securing it in place with screws or other fasteners if specified by manufacturer guidelines.

Alternatively, you can install it using silicone adhesive caulking material which offers better adhesion under harsh weather conditions. Apply this adhesive to the backside of your weather sealing material before placing it along the full length of your garage door’s lower edge.

Step 5: Testing Your Weather Stripping Repair

Once you have installed your new weather stripping properly, test it by doing various checks from different angles. Mediate on whether there are gaps between your strips and your garage floor. Make sure that there are no noticeable gaps as that would render the repair inconsequential.

Weather stripping could be seen as like a surgical stitch on a wound. You want to make sure that all pieces are in place perfectly and with great detail because any carelessness could lead to an imperfect seal as well as open space where winds and critters could come in.

Remember that proper installation will prevent heat loss in colder seasons while keeping all unwanted elements out, so take time to ensure proper placement and alignment before securing each cold-weather piece into place.

Tips for Maintaining Garage Door Weather Stripping

Maintaining garage door weather stripping is crucial to prolonging the life of your garage door and ensuring it functions properly. Here are some tips for maintaining your garage door weather stripping:

Keep it clean: Dirt and debris can accumulate on your garage door weather stripping over time, impairing its functionality. To prevent this from happening, regularly clean your weather stripping using a soft brush or cloth, mild detergent, and warm water.

Check for damage: Inspect your weather stripping periodically for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any cracks, tears, or other damage, repairing or replacing the damaged weather stripping immediately can save you from significant problems later on.

Avoid harsh chemicals: While cleaning your weather stripping with a mild detergent is safe, avoid using strong chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. These chemicals can cause degradation and may weaken the structure of the material.

Protect against UV rays: Garage door weather stripping that’s exposed to direct sunlight can break down faster than those kept away from UV rays. Consider installing blinds or curtains to block the sunlight or apply a protective coating to protect against UV damage.

When to Consider Professional Help

Proper maintenance of your garage door weather stripping is paramount for extending its longevity. Here are some tips for maintaining your garage door weather stripping:

1. Clean the weather stripping regularly to keep it free of debris or residue that could interfere with its effectiveness.

2. Check the weather stripping periodically for cracks, tears, or other forms of damage. If you notice any damage, replace it immediately to prevent unwanted elements from coming inside your garage.

3. Avoid using harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products on your weather stripping as these can weaken the seal or cause damage.

4. Make sure your weather stripping is properly aligned during the installation process as any misalignment leads to gaps, reducing its efficiency at sealing out cold or warm air which affects its insulation capabilities.

Proper maintenance of your garage door weather stripping will not only save you from costly repairs in the future but also protect your entire garage door system and increase its longevity

We reached out to Canadoor based on the online reviews, which happily did not disappoint. Terry (the technician) and his apprentice Riley, arrived promptly and were nothing but kind, knowledgeable and professional. Terry and Riley took the time to work with us answering our many questions to arrive at our desired door. One of the most interesting aspects of our meeting with them was Canadoor's ability to take our specs into account, communicate them to head office which led to high quality renderings of what the final product would look like. Ellen, a Product specialist was also great with answering our questions related to the sale itself. We would highly recommend Canadoor to everyone, and the maple syrup was a classy touch.

Professional and courteous service from start to finish! Communication and explanation from coordinator and Terry (technician) of what the repair would entail was amazing. Gave us a clear description of what was needed, the options available, along with clear pricing. No pressure at all to buy a costly new door but provided a recommendation that we understood and could agree on to proceed with a repair of an older garage door. I really can’t say enough about this experience as Terry showed up on time, was meticulous in his work and we have trust in the end result. Thank you Terry and Canadoor Garage Doors for the level of service everyone appreciates and wants but rarely sees!

I'm very happy with my overall experience. I had dealt with Derrick in sales who was very personable and knowledgeable. On the installation process , Jonathan and his colleague (sorry , forgot his name) did a great job on installing the door and opener. Jonathan came back later to install the trim and just recently did the caulking. My girlfriend asked if he could enhance the black door hardware, which he did. Looks like new again. Thanks again Jonathan. I would like to thank also all the ladies in the office who I had to communicate with. Thanks again everyone for a pleasant experience.

We have just completed a new garage door installation with Canadoor Garage Doors and could not be happier with the whole experience. We started with a visit to the Barrie office and initially met with Jason. He helped us through the whole sales process and after guiding us through several options we decided to order a new Amarr Northwoods door. We also required a new "high lift" kit plus a Liftmaster wall mounted opener. Before leaving we were given a tour of the Canadoor office facility. Very impressive setup. Next we were working with Ellen from the Install Coordination team. She setup an onsite visit by one of their technicians (Jed) to doublecheck specifications for the door size etc. Once all site specifications were confirmed to be good the door was ordered with an expected ETA given. The door arrived a week earlier than promised. We then coordinated with Ellen for an installation date. The door install was supervised by Jonathan with an assistant. They did an excellent job with the door, opener, and highlift kit installation. Post install we have heard back from Ellen on two occasions to ensure we are completely satisfied with the overall installation project. We love the new door but wanted to pass on our appreciation for a job well done by all!!. I would not hesitate to recommend the folks at Canadoor for your garage door requirements.CheersKevin RBolton. ON

Fantastic service. First, there was an excellent communication from the office. The technician, John, was right on time. He took time to listen to my concerns, then assessed the situation. Clearly explained what he was planning to do, what potential issues he may encounter and possible solutions. And then just did the job. Before he left, John asked if there is anything else I think would require his attention. It was so refreshing to get a solution focused service.

From the minute we walked in the door at their showroom we could see and feel these guys where different, they were very friendly and courteous. We sat down with Jason and we worked out what we wanted, he was very professional and knowledgeable about their products. We were told it would be about 4 to 6 weeks before install could begin, however we got a call with in 4 weeks that they where ready to start the install of the doors. We sorted a mutual day for installation and for 2 days later for the install of the aluminium capping and weather stripping. Jed and Johnathon H were the 2 techs that came to install the doors and boy do they know their job. They did an amazing job installing the doors and kept the job site spotless and were extremely friendly guys. 2 day later Johnathon C turned up to install the Aluminium Capping and weather stripping and boy what neat and great job he did, he too left the job site spotless. My wife and I can only give 100% praise for this company and their team if you want garage doors installed this is the team to do it.

I recently had excellent service from Canadoor and their service person Jed.Canadoor communicated with me for time & date to make an appointment then called me to confirm the day before and also notified me the day Jed was coming. Jed did a complete assessment of my garage door and gave me several options to choose from to fix the problem and also mentioned some preventative maintenance.Just overall great service. I would highly recommend Canadoor.

Jed is extremely knowledgeable and super helpful. Jed and Derek came to my door, super professional and incredibly helpful. They listened to me about what the issue was, didn't rush me through my explanation and then they made me feel like this was something that was an easy fix. Jed assessed everything once we were able to get my door open and provided me options. I was told they would be here between 2:30-3:30. They were here earlier, and in the time I should of been waiting for arrival, my door got fixed. Unheard of!!!!I am so thankful and would recommend Jed, Derek and this company over and over and over again! Thank you so much!

Exceptional customer service from the time of my initial call to inquire about a quote with Bonnie right through to the technicians Terry and Derek attending my house. All were very personable, knowledgeable and professional and took the time to explain the process and my options. I was particularly impressed with the text message that I received prior to my appointment time which provided the name of my technician and a photo so that I was fully aware of who would be attending my house. Nice personal touch!

We are extremely satisfied with the entire process to get a new garage door. Right from the technician who quoted to the helpful office representatives and the installation technician. All were knowledgeable, friendly and polite. We appreciated their upfront approach and that there were no hidden fees or additional costs. Worth every penny!

Well where do I start. Sara the sales rep who help me with what door I wanted. Mark who came over to do all the measurements and let me know what I needed to do before the install and Aidan and his assistant who did the installation and clean up. Great job by all the Canadoor team I would recommend them highly.

Updating my review.Originally I was upset about pricing, however I was contacted by customer support and they went over everything in my bill. Truly an excellent company with amazing customer service and knowledgeable technicians. The two young men who fixed my garage were fast and professional, parts are under warranty.I recommend to anyone who’s googling pricing to consider that sources may be old (before COVID) and that a lot of company’s won’t go the extra mile like these guys will using high quality parts. Very satisfied with my experience and super easy to get a hold of them when you have questions

I look after a building complex in Midland that has underground parking. Recently I had issues with the door opening for tenants. I could not leave it open for security reasons and the risk of the pipes freezing as it was cold out. I called Canadoor for a service call and they arrived within two hours. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely polite. I was very impressed with their on site service. Was also impressed with the time frame that the phone call was answered and the professional manner that the issue was handled with the importance of getting the issue resolved. From my call being answered to the rapid service call, it was a great and rapid experience.

I had builder grade garage doors replaced. The replacement is very quiet opening and closing, as well being insulated doors there is no longer a rattle from the wind. They look phenomenal and installation was fast and professional. I would highly recommend Canadoor to anyone.

Canadoor has provided our company with a polished and professional manor, not often given to today's environment. Quality workmanship, in a timely manor. Very happy with our decision to make the switch to Canadoor.

Mark was timely, knowledgeable and walked me through my options. I appreciated his insight and professionalism. Garage door was repaired quickly and efficiently and preventative maintenance was done. This is my second experience with Canadoor and I am definitely a happy camper!

The Canadoor representative that came to our home was absolutely wonderful. So knowledgeable, helpful and intent on giving us the best option for our project. From the initial phone call to schedule the service, to the service itself, we were so impressed with the whole process. Thank you so much. Would recommend Canadoor to anyone.

Mimi Barber

Canadoor was very professional from speaking to book over the phone to completing service. I mentioned that I have kids who use the garage and there were issues with it closing safely. She immediately found the closest appointment next day. Terry was my technician, found the problem immediately and made sure all components were also working well and safe. He fixed the problem on the spot and all was great. Fast, efficient and professional from booking to service. Thank you!

Our new garage door looks terrific! The installer (Mark Hardy) arrived promptly at 8:30 am and worked diligently and professionally to install the door perfectly! It sports a quiet automatic door opener! Mark ensured that the 22 year old existing trim was completely covered, carefully and neatly caulking to completely finish the look of a beautiful new garage door! He took time to explain some maintenance and problem solving tips, which I greatly appreciate! Thanks again Mark Hardy and Canadoor!

Zach was very professional. He showed up on time and was polite. There is a $130 arrival fee that goes towards any repairs if needed. I think this is reasonable. He was here for under an hour and fixed what needed to be fixed for a little more than what I was expecting to pay... but overall good service that I will use again if needed.

The whole Canadoor team was great to deal with for our garage door repair. The technicians were friendly and quickly found the problem and provided a few differently priced solutionsThey quickly repaired the door,checked it for proper operation and then explained it all to me and were then cleaned up and on their way. I would highly recommend them, and a fair price too

Excellent customer service. Terry went over and above to complete the job in a timely manner and leave the site clean. Gave us full instructions for usage and maintenance of our doors and opener’s. I would highly recommend Canadoor!

It was a pleasure having Terry come and explain every detail and give us options. Talked us through every step of our fix and explained the new operations. I would recommend Canadoor to anyone who wanted great work done in a timely manor. Thanks again to Terry.

The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a bump or two getting the appointment booked but it was more a technical glitch than anything else. Ryan came out and fixed my door. He was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He took the time to explain everything to me, made some suggestions, gave me a quote and did a great job fixing the problem. I would absolutely recommend Canadoor.

Kaleb was not only knowledgeable but on time and professional. He came the day the appointment was set to go over the options we had for replacing out broken door. Was willing to shed light on what I needed to do to be ready for him when he came. Answered all my questions, was not pushy in any way. Knew I wanted an opener but understood it was not in the budget at this time and did not make me feel awaited about it. When the install date was booked he showed up within the time slot I was provided. He installed my door perfectly and made sure I was happy. The office staff was present to deal with when I originally called, the lady (who I am not sure if I got her name or forgot it… sorry) was clear to understand and was able to get me set up with an appointment. I would and will be recommending Kaleb and Canadoor Garage doors to anyone! Thank you for the professionalism and quality of work!

We had some terrible trouble with how our garage doors were installed by another company. Terry was able to get to our place with short notice and stayed late to make sure everything was working well and our house was secure. His service was very friendly and courteous and ensured we were happy with everything before he left. I would highly recommend this business.

Service arrived within 24 hours of first contact, which is amazing considering I’m about 40km out of their service area. The technician, Jacob, was very polite and respectful of the fact that my one year old daughter in the home is not yet eligible for vaccination and kept his distance. He fixed the garage door and the opener within an hour and even lubricated the door for free. On his way out he left me a canister of lubricant and instructions for maintenance so I don’t need to keep calling. Would recommend without reservation!

Couldn’t have asked or received better service. Starting with a cheerful Shannon answering my call and setting up the appointment to the exceptional, pleasant and prompt service of Andrew and Jed.Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again in if future if ever required.Thanks Canadoor!

Excellent, quality, professional service. Both the service department (MaryAnn) and the technician installer (Terry) were polite, informed and caring about my specific needs.Arranged a diagnostic/install appointment suitable to my needs. Communicated via text then confirmed by phone. ‘Terry’ was very thorough, walked me through what he was going to do during the inspection, then called me back (I was at work at that time) with a complete detailed diagnostic, and a price for the work required to complete the repair.Work site was clean post install, old equipment removed as requested. The repairs to the garage door were neatly done and as described, the new garage door opener is a thing of beauty.We needed this job done as quickly as possible; nobody wants to ‘manually’ lift and close a garage door period, but especially during the winter when it’s snowing every other day. Canadoor and it’s team of professionals had me up and very smoothly running in less than 48 hours.Exceptional service!

Bruce J

16:13 19 Feb 22

Really good experience. Our installer Terry was professional, on time and explained everything to us in detail about our new opener. He made sure that everything worked and triple checked everything before he left. I would call Canadoor again for sure. Thanks Terry!

Hey Canadoor your tops! Ten Star! I was referred to your company by a satisfied client and I would highly recommend Canadoor. Jonathan and Jed were friendly informative professional and provided excellent workmanship. Not to mention the high quality garage door they installed. I am extremely happy and I thank Jason Campeau for coordinating the job in a very timely fashion. Great Job Team Canadoor! Regards, Sheila at 3140.

Service and installation was excellent.But price for a 1.5 hr. Of work incl. parts was WAY to high in my opinion.Never got the brake down on the cost of parts and install on my bill.

I’ve dealt with Canadoor and Terry as my tech on two occasions now and he’s been amazing to work with. He’s professional and informative. His work was quality and he had everything working perfectly in no time.Booking my appointment with Jason was a very effortless experience and they were out to see me in a couple of hours or less from my first call.I wouldn’t go anywhere else for anything to do for my garage door needs.

From the beginning when I called they were fantastic to deal with. First I had them install new garage doors. Very professional no mess! I always get compliments for my doors.

As always Canadoor was very helpful from my initial contact yesterday Marion walked us through a couple to save us a service call. When these didn’t work a service call was scheduled. Curtis called this am to inform us that he would be arriving ahead of schedule. Upon his arrival he explained what was needed to remedy our issue. Curtis is very knowledgeable and thorough.
