Booked garage door weatherstripping in Palermo, NJ? Expect a tech who actually works Cape May County: fast dispatch, an honest diagnosis, and parts on the truck for corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Palermo seasons, you know the pattern: hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year brings damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
Garage doors in Palermo tend to fail in predictable ways — corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
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.

Frequently asked about garage door weatherstripping
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Weatherstripping near me ask us:
How does the climate in Palermo, NJ affect my garage door?
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Palermo: with hot and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, the common failure modes are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Our Palermo trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
How old are most garage doors in Palermo?
The median Palermo home dates to 1985, with 35% of the stock built before 1980 — a real mix of original and already-replaced doors, which is why we quote repair-versus-replace honestly on every call.
How much does weatherstripping cost?
Weatherstripping is quoted flat-rate by scope — bottom seal only, bottom plus jamb seals, or the full package, with an optional threshold kit. We confirm the price in writing before installing.
Do I need a threshold kit?
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.
How long do new seals last?
Bottom seals: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
Can I do this myself?
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.
