Merced's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a temperate dry-summer climate — sunny, low-humidity afternoons and a short, mild rainy season, doors here face sustained year-round sunshine that fades and embrittles panel finishes, long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, and wide day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Merced garage doors: worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day, dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV, opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes, and sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
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.

Frequently asked about garage door weatherstripping
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Weatherstripping near me ask us:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Merced: with temperate dry-summer climate — sunny and sustained year-round sunshine that fades and embrittles panel finishes, long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, and wide day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware, the common failure modes are worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day, dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV, opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes, and sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel. Our Merced trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
In Merced it is usually worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
2 years on weatherstripping materials, 5 years on threshold kits, 10-year workmanship on the install.
Bottom seals: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
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.
