We handle garage door seal replacement across Hayfield year-round. The local reality — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.
Garage doors in Fairfax County live with a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. For Hayfield that means watching for salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
Hayfield homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, and corroded springs and cables in the humid air. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
Bottom seal replacement is the highest-volume seal job we do — bottom astragals wear out faster than the side jamb or top header seals because they contact the floor every close cycle. The seal compresses, deforms, hardens under UV, and eventually tears or cracks. A failed bottom seal lets water, dust, leaves, insects, and small rodents under the door. The fix is straightforward and quick: remove the old seal, slide a new one into the retainer (or replace the retainer if it's also worn), trim to length, and verify a tight close.
We carry T-style, P-style, and bulb-profile astragals to fit any retainer. The retainer (U-channel) is the aluminum or PVC track that holds the seal — if the retainer itself is cracked or pulling away from the bottom panel, we replace it during the same visit. Stock profiles cover 95% of doors; obscure or vintage doors may need a special-order astragal.
Fast service for stock profiles is standard. Most visits take 45–60 minutes including a quick check of the side and header seals and a confirmation of the bottom-to-floor gap with the new seal compressed.
Worn or compressed seal lets daylight through. Replacement restores the seal.
Water enters during rain
Bottom seal failure is the most common cause of garage water intrusion during heavy rain.
Leaves or debris under door
Wind blows debris under failed seals. Restored seal stops the inflow.
Insects or rodents entering
Even small gaps let pests through. A continuous seal stops them.
Seal visibly cracked, torn, or chunked
Visible damage means the seal is functionally compromised even if the gap looks small.
Common causes & what we fix
UV degradation
intense sun hardens vinyl and rubber seals over 5–8 years. Hardened seals crack and tear.
Floor contact wear
The seal compresses and abrades against the floor every close cycle. Wear is cumulative over years.
Concrete heave or settlement
Floor changes shape with foundation movement. Old seal can't compensate; new seal with potential threshold kit can.
Pest damage
Rodents chew through seals to enter. Once chewed, seal must be replaced — repair isn't viable.
Retainer corrosion or cracking
Aluminum retainers corrode at the floor contact line; PVC retainers crack with age. Retainer replacement extends seal life.

Frequently asked about garage door seal replacement
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Seal Replacement near me ask us:
Hayfield runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1978), roughly 54% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
Hayfield sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, and corroded springs and cables in the humid air. We size springs and seals for Virginia's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Up to ~1 inch of floor variation — yes. Bulb seals compress more than T-style and handle more variation. For severe floor unevenness, threshold kit is the better solution.
5–8 years for bottom seals in intense sun. Sheltered or shaded doors get 10+ years. Side and header seals last longer.
Bottom seal only: 30–45 minutes. With retainer replacement: 60–75 minutes. With side and header seals: 90–120 minutes.
Yes — threshold kits sit on the floor and create a positive bottom seal even on uneven floors or where bottom astragal alone isn't enough. Installed flat-rate, quoted before we start.
