Preston sits in Iowa's continental-climate region — warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
From Preston and the surrounding area, the issues Preston customers describe are typically rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.
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

What's the most common garage door problem in Preston?
In Preston it is usually rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, 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.
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.
Will the new seal work on an uneven floor?
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.
