If you’ve noticed water, dust, or cold air getting into your garage, it might be time to replace your garage door bottom seal. Over time, the rubber seal along the bottom edge of your garage door becomes cracked, flattened, or brittle—especially in Calgary’s freezing winters and dry summers.
At Calgary Garage Door Fix, we provide professional garage door bottom seal replacement services across the city, helping homeowners in neighborhoods like Evanston, Tuscany, Mahogany, and Signal Hill keep their garages cleaner, warmer, and better protected from the elements.
The bottom seal is designed to:
Cushion your garage door when it closes
Keep out drafts, water, dust, and small debris
Help reduce noise and vibration
Improve insulation and energy efficiency
Over time, exposure to sunlight, cold weather, and road salt causes the rubber to lose flexibility, eventually letting in water and dirt.
In most cases, replacing just the bottom rubber seal is enough. However, sometimes the plastic, metal, or aluminum retainer that holds the seal in place is damaged, bent, or corroded. When that happens, we replace both the retainer and the seal to ensure a proper fit and long-lasting seal.
Seal-only replacement: Included in our standard service
Retainer and seal replacement: Recommended if the track is damaged or rusted
Service cost starts at $200 + TAX, depending on door size and material. All work includes a full inspection and adjustment to make sure your door closes as evenly as possible.
While a new bottom seal helps a lot, it’s important to understand that it doesn’t guarantee a watertight seal. Sometimes, water or dust still gets in—and that’s usually due to the garage floor itself, not the seal.
In many Calgary homes, one side of the garage slab gradually sinks over time, pulling the frame slightly out of level. This creates a gap between the seal and the floor, especially near one corner. In those cases, even with a new seal, a visible gap may remain because the floor has shifted, not the door.
If we notice this issue, our technician will show you exactly what’s going on and discuss your options, such as minor leveling adjustments or floor repair solutions.
As a local family-run company, we’ve built a reputation as Canada’s best-rated garage door service by focusing on honesty, transparency, and quality workmanship. We serve all areas of Calgary—from Bowness and Brentwood to Auburn Bay and Cranston—with fast, reliable service and fair pricing.
Every visit includes a complimentary inspection of your entire garage door system, so small issues can be caught before they turn into bigger repairs.
If your garage door bottom seal is cracked, flattened, or letting in water, it’s time for a replacement. Call Calgary Garage Door Fix today or book online. We’ll make sure your new seal is installed correctly and your garage door closes as smoothly as possible.
