Expert Garage Door Weather Stripping Replacement in Los Angeles – Fast, Reliable & Guaranteed!

GMR primarily works with industry-leading brands such as Clopay, Amarr, LiftMaster, and Wayne Dalton for weather stripping products. We also source high-quality materials from MD Building Products and Frost King for specialized applications. Our technicians are trained to work with both OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket weather stripping products to ensure the best fit for your specific garage door model.

GMR offers a comprehensive range of weather stripping materials including EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer), vinyl, neoprene, brush seals, and PVC. For extreme weather conditions, we recommend our commercial-grade thermoplastic elastomer strips that provide superior flexibility and durability. We also carry aluminum/vinyl combinations for threshold seals and specialized silicone-based products for unique applications requiring heat resistance or extreme weather protection.

Yes, GMR specializes in both standard and specialty weather stripping systems. We work with custom-sized doors, architectural designs, historic restorations, and commercial applications. Our technicians are equipped to handle unique configurations including curved top doors, oversized industrial doors, and specialty materials like copper or wood-clad doors. We can source or custom-fabricate weather stripping for virtually any garage door system, including hard-to-find parts for older or discontinued models.

GMR technicians use professional-grade installation equipment including pneumatic nail guns, specialized rubber mallets, heat guns for vinyl applications, industrial-grade adhesives, precision cutting tools, and digital measuring devices. For commercial applications, we utilize heavy-duty mounting hardware and specialized brackets. Our service vehicles are fully equipped with factory-authorized installation tools specific to major brands like Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton to ensure proper fitting and adherence to manufacturer specifications.

Before scheduling a weather stripping replacement, homeowners can conduct a visual inspection to identify worn, cracked, or missing sections. Clean the garage door tracks, jambs, and bottom edge with a mild detergent solution to remove dirt and debris. Check for any loose fasteners or damaged mounting surfaces. Take photos of problem areas to share with technicians. Measure the temperature difference between your garage and the outside to help determine the effectiveness of your current weather stripping. This preparation helps our technicians provide more accurate estimates and ensures a smoother installation process.

After installation, regularly clean the new weather stripping with a mild soap solution and soft cloth to remove dirt and debris that could cause premature wear. Apply a silicone-based lubricant (never use WD-40 or petroleum-based products) to rubber seals twice yearly to prevent drying and cracking. Inspect the seals seasonally for signs of wear or damage. Keep the garage door tracks clean and free of obstructions. During extreme temperature changes, check that the weather stripping remains flexible and properly sealed. Avoid using pressure washers directly on the weather stripping as high pressure can damage the seals.

For insulated garage doors, GMR uses specialized thermal-break weather stripping designed to maintain the door’s energy efficiency. We work with premium brands like Owens Corning and Johns Manville for insulated door systems. Our technicians install double-fin or bulb-type seals that create multiple barriers against air infiltration. For maximum energy efficiency, we offer Arctic Shield and ThermaTrue products specifically engineered for extreme temperature conditions. We also provide integrated weather seal systems that work with the door’s existing insulation to create a complete thermal envelope.

Yes, GMR specializes in commercial and industrial garage door weather stripping replacement. We work with heavy-duty materials from manufacturers like Overhead Door Commercial, Raynor, and Cornell. Our technicians are equipped to handle high-cycle applications, loading dock doors, fire-rated doors, and specialized industry requirements. We install EPDM rubber, reinforced vinyl, and brush seals designed for commercial use. For food processing facilities, we offer FDA-compliant materials, and for chemical environments, we provide chemical-resistant sealing options. Our commercial services include scheduled maintenance programs to ensure continuous operation.

Key signs that indicate your garage door weather stripping needs replacement include visible cracks or tears in the material, gaps between the door and frame when closed, increased energy bills, light visible around door edges, water entering during rain, increased noise when operating the door, drafts or temperature fluctuations in the garage, pest intrusion, and weather stripping that feels brittle or has lost flexibility when touched. If your weather stripping is more than 5-7 years old, it likely needs replacement regardless of visible condition as materials naturally degrade with UV exposure and temperature cycles.

GMR provides a comprehensive warranty on all weather stripping replacements. Our standard labor warranty covers installation for 1 year, while material warranties vary by product type—typically 2-5 years for standard materials and up to 10 years for premium products. We offer extended warranty options for commercial applications and extreme weather environments. All warranties cover premature cracking, separation from mounting surfaces, and loss of flexibility. Our warranty service includes free inspection and assessment if you notice any issues. We also honor manufacturer warranties for brand-name products from Clopay, Amarr, and other major manufacturers.
