Garage Door Garage Door Weatherstripping Sylva, NC

We handle garage door weatherstripping across Sylva year-round. The local reality — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.

Sylva sits in North Carolina's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and we fit parts rated to handle it.

From Downtown Sylva Historic District and Webster Estates, the issues Sylva customers describe are typically corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.

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.
