Garage Door Garage Door Weatherstripping Kendall, FL
Garage Door Weatherstripping in Kendall comes with local context. Given year-round heat and humidity, frequent tropical downpours, and salt-tinged moisture that never lets metal fully dry, the doors here see constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, mildew and corrosion on shaded, low hardware, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, so our garage door weatherstripping work uses hardware chosen to last in Florida's tropical climate.
Because Kendall has year-round heat and humidity, frequent tropical downpours, and salt-tinged moisture that never lets metal fully dry, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, mildew and corrosion on shaded, low hardware, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
The calls we get most in Kendall are rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water, intermittent sensors fouled by morning damp, degraded weatherstripping from constant UV and salt, and storm-driven water and debris in the tracks. Each is something our trucks are stocked to fix on the first visit — no waiting on parts.
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.

Yes. Miami-Dade County sits in Florida, and we work the whole footprint: Kendall plus nearby Sunset, Richmond Heights, The Crossings, and Pinecrest. Same licensed, insured crews and 10-year workmanship guarantee county-wide.
Kendall sits in year-round heat and humidity, frequent tropical downpours, and salt-tinged moisture that never lets metal fully dry. That is hard on a door — constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, mildew and corrosion on shaded, low hardware, 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 rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water, intermittent sensors fouled by morning damp, degraded weatherstripping from constant UV and salt, and storm-driven water and debris in the tracks. We size springs and seals for Florida's tropical climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
2 years on weatherstripping materials, 5 years on threshold kits, 10-year workmanship on the install.
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.
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.
