Garage Door Garage Door Weatherstripping Richardson, TX
Garage Door Weatherstripping in Richardson comes with local context. Given hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, the doors here see high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, so our garage door weatherstripping work uses hardware chosen to last in Texas's humid subtropical region.
Set in Texas's humid subtropical region, Richardson has hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. The practical result is high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
If your Richardson door is acting up, it's often corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
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.
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.

Richardson sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. We size springs and seals for Texas's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Bottom seals: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
If your floor has settled, sloped, or shows water intrusion during rain — yes. If the bottom seal alone gives you a tight close — no, the threshold is optional.
Bottom seals are DIY-friendly if you can match the retainer profile and trim accurately. Jamb and header seals are more fiddly but doable. Threshold kits require precise alignment and good adhesive technique.
2 years on weatherstripping materials, 5 years on threshold kits, 10-year workmanship on the install.
