Garage Door Weatherstripping for Sturgis homeowners means fast dispatch across Sturgis and the surrounding area. Because of freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, heavy snowpack that strains tracks and brackets, and heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, we recommend corrosion-resistant hardware on local garage door weatherstripping jobs.
In South Dakota's cold northern climate, harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year. For Sturgis garages that translates into freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, heavy snowpack that strains tracks and brackets, and heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, so our tune-ups focus on the components that wear first under these conditions.
Across Sturgis and the surrounding area, what brings Sturgis homeowners to us is stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw — and we resolve it without a second visit.
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.
