When you book garage door weatherstripping in Frederick, you get a tech who knows Frederick County — Frederick County is part of Maryland. We serve Applegate, Spring Valley, College Estates and Antietam Village and nearby Ballenger Creek, Spring Ridge, Bartonsville, and Walkersville every day.
Weather matters more than most Frederick homeowners expect. Local conditions — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware — drive damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Maryland's humid subtropical region.
Across Frederick County, the garage door problems we see again and again are degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
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.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Frederick: with warm and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, the common failure modes are degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Our Frederick trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

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.
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.
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.
2 years on weatherstripping materials, 5 years on threshold kits, 10-year workmanship on the install.
