Garage Door Garage Door Seal Replacement Sweetwater, FL
Our garage door seal replacement service covers all of Sweetwater: Sweetwater and the surrounding area. Set in Florida's tropical climate, these doors face year-round salt-marine air that corrodes springs, cables, and fasteners, tropical downpours that drive moisture into tracks and seals, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and we plan every repair around it.
Ask any Sweetwater tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. A hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season brings year-round salt-marine air that corrodes springs, cables, and fasteners, tropical downpours that drive moisture into tracks and seals, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, year after year.
Sweetwater homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: corroded springs and cables on salt-air homes, mildew and rust on shaded, low hardware, swollen wood doors that drag and stick in the humidity, and salt-pitted spring coils that fail early near the coast. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
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.

Sweetwater sits in a hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season. That is hard on a door — year-round salt-marine air that corrodes springs, cables, and fasteners, tropical downpours that drive moisture into tracks and seals, 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 corroded springs and cables on salt-air homes, mildew and rust on shaded, low hardware, swollen wood doors that drag and stick in the humidity, and salt-pitted spring coils that fail early near the coast. We size springs and seals for Florida's tropical climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Bottom seal only: 30–45 minutes. With retainer replacement: 60–75 minutes. With side and header seals: 90–120 minutes.
5–8 years for bottom seals in intense sun. Sheltered or shaded doors get 10+ years. Side and header seals last longer.
Up to ~1 inch of floor variation — yes. Bulb seals compress more than T-style and handle more variation. For severe floor unevenness, threshold kit is the better solution.
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.
