Keep out cold air, rain, pests, and debris with new weatherstripping and bottom seals. Improves energy efficiency and protects your garage interior.
Of the 45 invoiced jobs listed on this site, seven included new seals on a door already in place. Five included a new bottom seal and three included work on the side or top seals; two jobs did both. One did not record which seal. Another two were new-door installs, which came with new seals; they are listed separately below and left out of those counts.
Four of the seven were in Chelmsford, North Chelmsford included. How to tell which seal a door needs, and when a gap at the floor is the track instead, is further down this page.
Ranges come from our 2026 price list, set from Jobber invoices and accepted quotes. Each range is for that job done on its own. You get the exact price in writing before any work starts.
Two of these also included work on the side or top seals.
An 18-foot door: a new bottom weather seal and a horizontal reinforcement strut cut to width, with lubrication and adjustment on the same visit.
A 16-foot door: a new bottom seal, a damaged length of side weather seal replaced, and a tune-up.
Two single-car doors converted to torsion springs: a two-spring torsion system on each, with high-cycle oil-tempered springs rated for 30,000 cycles, a torsion tube and bearing plates, then rebalanced, plus a heavy-duty bottom seal on each door.
New bottom seal and side weather seal, and both bottom track sections replaced.
Two single-car doors: two new 1/2 HP chain-drive openers with safety sensors and remotes, and a new bottom seal on each door.
Two single-car doors: two chain-drive openers and a keypad, new extension springs, side and top weatherstripping, new rollers, and a rotted bottom track section replaced.
Two doors: complete extension spring systems (springs, cables and pulleys), a reinforcement strut on each door, and new weatherstripping.
These were new door installs. They are here because the seals are new too, and they are not counted as seal repairs. More on the garage door installation page.
Two new 9x7 black steel long-panel doors with a full row of windows in the top section, decorative handles and hinges, new black side and top weatherstripping, and the old doors taken away.
New insulated Amarr Olympus 8x7 door (R-14.46, one row of windows) on new tracks with high-cycle torsion springs, a LiftMaster 6580L belt-drive opener and new weatherstripping.

The bottom seal is a rubber strip along the bottom edge of the door that meets the floor when the door closes. The line in our price book reads: "Bottom rubber weather seal cut to door width, with retainer if needed."
The side and top seals are a separate part, fixed to the frame around the opening, that the closed door presses against. The price book line: "Vinyl perimeter stop seal for both sides and top."
The bottom seal is not the only part at floor level: each vertical track ends there too. On two of the seven seal repairs in our records, bottom track sections were replaced on the same visit: North Chelmsford, July 2026 and Chelmsford, July 2026.
If the door rubs, jerks or stops partway, look at the track before the seal: see track repair. If it hangs crooked or one side opens faster, it is usually a cable or spring: see cable repair.
Do not raise the opener's close force, or set its down travel lower, to press the door harder onto a worn seal. Replace the seal instead.
Federal rules require every opener manual to say that the door must reverse when it touches a 2x4 laid flat on the floor, that the opener must be tested again after any change to the force or the limit of travel, and that failure to adjust the opener properly may cause severe injury or death. If the settings have been changed, run that test before using the door again.
Force and travel adjustment is part of opener repair.

"I highly recommend Eric, we had him fix our garage door few months ago, recently we were having some issues with it. I called Eric on the weekend and he immediately answered the phone, and came within an hour to our place to fix it. I was extremely impressed about how responsive and thorough professional Eric is."
"Eric was able to help me out on a super cold Monday holiday recently. He was able to diagnose my issue and get my garage door working again. Price was fair and he was very good at providing some insight into things to keep an eye on moving forward. I'll definitely keep him on speed dial for whatever I run into next."
"Our technician Eric came on time gave a more fair price then we were previously quoted from another company and did the job quickly and thoroughly and now our door is working better then ever (even got rid of that annoying clicking noise we used to have)."
Replacing garage door seals runs $100-$250 installed. If a bottom track section needs replacing too, that is a separate track repair, $125-$350. You get the exact price in writing before any work starts.
