How weather seals fail — and what it costs you

Perimeter weather seals harden, crack, and compress over time until they no longer close against the door frame or slab. The result is visible: a gap at the corner where wind-driven rain enters, a draft that makes the attached garage much colder than it should be, and insects or rodents finding a reliable entry point into the structure. BSD Garage Door replaces perimeter and bottom seals across MA without requiring a full door replacement — it is one of the highest-value repairs on a working door. Perimeter and top seal replacement for Franklin garages — EPDM, PVC, and vinyl brush seals. Stops water infiltration, drafts, and pests at the frame without a full door replacement.

We stock EPDM, PVC T-slot, and vinyl brush seals in the standard widths for residential sectional doors. For doors with uneven concrete slabs or settled jambs, we can cut and fit custom sections that close the gap even when the opening is not perfectly plumb. Threshold seals and interlocking aluminum door stops are available when the standard gasket cannot bridge an uneven floor without being crushed by the door's weight.

Seal types and their best applications

• EPDM perimeter seal — compresses cleanly against the stop molding on the sides and top. Long service life in the Northeast freeze-thaw conditions. Standard replacement for most residential door frames.
• Bottom T-slot gasket — slides into the aluminum retainer on the door's bottom section. Most doors use a 4-inch astragal. We confirm the exact profile before ordering to ensure the new gasket seats without binding.
• Threshold seal — a foam or vinyl strip adhered to the concrete slab, providing a secondary barrier under the door. Useful when the slab slopes or the bottom gasket alone cannot fully close the gap.
• Brush seal — installed on side jambs for doors with gaps that rigid seals cannot bridge. More forgiving of out-of-plumb openings and seasonal wood movement on older homes.

In MA winters, a failed bottom seal is the primary cause of ice formation along the base of the door — the gasket freezes to the slab and tears itself off when the opener tries to open the door. Replacing an aging seal before the first frost prevents that failure mode. BSD Garage Door recommends seal inspection at every annual tune-up visit.

Questions homeowners ask about weather seal replacement

How soon can BSD Garage Door schedule this work in MA?

Stuck-open doors, hanging doors, and failed springs are triaged as emergency Weather Seal Replacement calls and routed ahead of standard scheduling when crews are in range. Non-emergency Weather Seal Replacement repairs and installations are scheduled within a realistic window that factors in drive time and parts availability. Arrival expectations are confirmed before dispatch on every Weather Seal Replacement call.

Will you quote before starting work?

Yes, diagnostic time is quoted up front for complex Weather Seal Replacement opener or track problems before any work begins. When Weather Seal Replacement teardown reveals parts not on the van, BSD Garage Door stops the job, explains the situation, and gets sign-off before going further.

Do you service commercial overhead doors as well as residential?

Light-commercial sectional doors, rolling steel, commercial openers, and high-cycle spring systems are within BSD Garage Door's standard scope alongside Weather Seal Replacement.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment for Weather Seal Replacement work is accepted by major credit card, check, or ACH on larger BSD Garage Door projects. Ask about financing options during the Weather Seal Replacement estimate — qualifying new-door installations may be eligible for current programs.

Do I need to replace both springs at the same time?

For two-spring residential doors receiving Weather Seal Replacement service, paired replacement is the honest recommendation — not an upsell. Different-age springs on a Weather Seal Replacement job put uneven tension on cables, driving uneven roller wear, asymmetric carriage load on the opener, and a door that runs out of balance. On past-mid-life doors scheduled for Weather Seal Replacement, the surviving spring typically follows within weeks. The price gap between one spring and a matched pair during the same Weather Seal Replacement visit is small; the difference in service intervals is significant. Single-spring systems needing Weather Seal Replacement work get one new spring, plus a note on adjacent hardware life.

How long does a typical repair take?

Once on-site with the right parts for Weather Seal Replacement, spring and cable work typically wraps in 60 to 90 minutes. Opener repairs that involve a logic board or gear kit on a Weather Seal Replacement call run 90 to 120 minutes, including programming and testing. Full door installations accompanying a Weather Seal Replacement visit are half-day appointments. Timeline is quoted alongside price before BSD Garage Door starts any Weather Seal Replacement work.

Is garage door repair covered by homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance under HO-3 policies often covers sudden and accidental Weather Seal Replacement losses — a spring that snapped without prior visible damage, a cable failure, or vehicle contact — after the deductible. Gradual wear and neglected maintenance that precipitate Weather Seal Replacement calls are typically excluded. BSD Garage Door issues an itemized invoice with part descriptions and failure documentation for adjuster review of the Weather Seal Replacement claim. Coverage outcomes on Weather Seal Replacement calls are not guaranteed, but the documentation BSD Garage Door provides gives the carrier the information it needs.
