Homeowners across Burnett's Corner Historic District and Burnett's Corner call us for garage door seal replacement because we know Old Mystic. The common drivers locally are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Local climate is the quiet reason Old Mystic doors fail when they do. A humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons leads to road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
If your Old Mystic door is acting up, it's often cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
Bottom seal replacement is the highest-volume seal job we do — bottom astragals wear out faster than the side jamb or top header seals because they contact the floor every close cycle. The seal compresses, deforms, hardens under UV, and eventually tears or cracks. A failed bottom seal lets water, dust, leaves, insects, and small rodents under the door. The fix is straightforward and quick: remove the old seal, slide a new one into the retainer (or replace the retainer if it's also worn), trim to length, and verify a tight close.
We carry T-style, P-style, and bulb-profile astragals to fit any retainer. The retainer (U-channel) is the aluminum or PVC track that holds the seal — if the retainer itself is cracked or pulling away from the bottom panel, we replace it during the same visit. Stock profiles cover 95% of doors; obscure or vintage doors may need a special-order astragal.
Fast service for stock profiles is standard. Most visits take 45–60 minutes including a quick check of the side and header seals and a confirmation of the bottom-to-floor gap with the new seal compressed.
Worn or compressed seal lets daylight through. Replacement restores the seal.
Water enters during rain
Bottom seal failure is the most common cause of garage water intrusion during heavy rain.
Leaves or debris under door
Wind blows debris under failed seals. Restored seal stops the inflow.
Insects or rodents entering
Even small gaps let pests through. A continuous seal stops them.
Seal visibly cracked, torn, or chunked
Visible damage means the seal is functionally compromised even if the gap looks small.
Common causes & what we fix
UV degradation
intense sun hardens vinyl and rubber seals over 5–8 years. Hardened seals crack and tear.
Floor contact wear
The seal compresses and abrades against the floor every close cycle. Wear is cumulative over years.
Concrete heave or settlement
Floor changes shape with foundation movement. Old seal can't compensate; new seal with potential threshold kit can.
Pest damage
Rodents chew through seals to enter. Once chewed, seal must be replaced — repair isn't viable.
Retainer corrosion or cracking
Aluminum retainers corrode at the floor contact line; PVC retainers crack with age. Retainer replacement extends seal life.

Frequently asked about garage door seal replacement
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Seal Replacement near me ask us:
How does the climate in Old Mystic, CT affect my garage door?
Old Mystic sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Connecticut's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
What's the most common garage door problem in Old Mystic?
The call we get most in Old Mystic is cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. Old Mystic has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
How long does a new seal last?
5–8 years for bottom seals in intense sun. Sheltered or shaded doors get 10+ years. Side and header seals last longer.
What seal profile do I need?
T-style (most common since 1990s), P-style (older builds), or bulb (commercial and some specialty). We bring samples to the visit so you can see and feel the options.
How long does seal replacement take?
Bottom seal only: 30–45 minutes. With retainer replacement: 60–75 minutes. With side and header seals: 90–120 minutes.
Do you also do threshold kits?
Yes — threshold kits sit on the floor and create a positive bottom seal even on uneven floors or where bottom astragal alone isn't enough. Installed flat-rate, quoted before we start.
