Bessemer City garage door weatherstripping, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.

Climate is half the story for a garage door in Gaston County. Given hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, Bessemer City doors wrestle with morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers.

In our experience around Bessemer City, the repairs that come up most are mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.

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.
