We handle garage door weatherstripping across Avonmore year-round. The local reality — warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.
In Pennsylvania's continental-climate region, warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. For Avonmore garages that translates into humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, so our tune-ups focus on the components that wear first under these conditions.
Across Foster, Hicksville, Truxall and Wakena, what brings Avonmore homeowners to us is cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease — and we resolve it without a second 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.

Frequently asked about garage door weatherstripping
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Weatherstripping near me ask us:
How old are most garage doors in Avonmore?
About 80% of Avonmore's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1946; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
What's the most common garage door problem in Avonmore?
In Avonmore it is usually cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
What's the coverage?
2 years on weatherstripping materials, 5 years on threshold kits, 10-year workmanship on the install.
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.
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.
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.
