Our Andover garage door weatherstripping crews stay local to Anoka County, so dispatch is fast and follow-up is easy. With harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year in play, we spec parts that hold up here.
Because Andover has harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Anoka County, and the pattern holds in Andover: ice- and snow-jammed tracks, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, snow-load strain on tracks and brackets, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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:
Andover sits in harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year. That is hard on a door — cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold, and doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, snow-load strain on tracks and brackets, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. We size springs and seals for Minnesota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Andover runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1993), roughly 23% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
Weatherstripping is quoted flat-rate by scope — bottom seal only, bottom plus jamb seals, or the full package, with an optional threshold kit. We confirm the price in writing before installing.
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: 5–8 years in intense sun. Jamb and header seals: 10–15 years. Threshold kits: 10+ years. Indoor-conditioned environments last longer.
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.
