Ottawa area — Weather stripping, bottom seal, and retainer replacement
See real weather stripping and bottom seal work completed across Ottawa.
Failed seals increase heat loss and allow water, snow, and pests into your garage. Replacing weather stripping and bottom seals early is a quick, affordable fix.
Freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and UV exposure wear out rubber and vinyl weather seals over time.
Replace worn seals before winter
Daily open/close cycles compress bottom seals until they no longer seal evenly against the floor.
New bottom seal restores contact
Bent or corroded retainers cannot hold modern seals properly and should be replaced.
Install new aluminum retainer
Wrong profile or poor fit leaves gaps and causes early seal failure.
Correct profile and fitment
Freeze-thaw cycles, wind, moisture, and road salt accelerate wear on weather stripping and bottom seals.
Bottom seals compress every cycle and eventually flatten, crack, or lose flexibility.
Bent or corroded retainers stop seals from sitting correctly and create persistent gaps.
Wrong seal size or poor installation leaves side and bottom gaps that let in drafts and water.
Prevention Tip: Replace bottom and perimeter seals before winter. We inspect seal condition during annual maintenance.
Ottawa homeowners often ask whether they need weather seal replacement or a new garage door. Here's a quick guide:
Panel repair makes sense when: One or two seals are cracked, dented, or rusted but the rest of the door is in good shape. We reinforce with an aluminum strut, seal gaps, and touch up paint. The door may tilt to one side when opening, or one side lifts while the other doesn't. Same-day service across Ottawa.
Full replacement makes sense when: The door is very heavy to lift manually (or won't stay open), and you may see a gap in the Multiple seals are damaged, the door is very old, or you want better insulation (e.g. R-18). We install new insulated doors with a 1-year warranty. If you're unsure, call 343-777-8893 and describe what you see—we'll advise whether you need cable repair, spring repair, or both, and give you a price range over the phone.
Here's what happens when we repair or reinforce your garage door seal:
Assess the damaged seal, extent of crack or dent, and whether reinforcement or seal-only is needed.
Install aluminum strut behind the seal to restore strength and prevent the crack from spreading.
Seal cracks and gaps to prevent water, cold air, and pests. Maintains R-value and weathertightness.
Paint touch-up so the repair blends in. Door looks good and is protected from further rust.
Panel repair is cost-effective when damage is limited. Benefits:
When to replace instead: If multiple seals are bad or the door is at end of life, we'll recommend a new door and give you an upfront quote.

"Had a crack in one seal from when I bumped the door with the car. GDS came same day, reinforced the seal with a strut and touched up the paint. Looks good and no more draft. Price was as quoted—around $260. Very happy with the service."
