Our garage door seal replacement service covers all of Bethel: Bethel and the surrounding area. Set in Alaska's cold northern climate, these doors face deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease, brittle, cold-cracked weatherstripping along the bottom panel, and freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, and we plan every repair around it.
Bethel, AK is shaped by harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice, brief mild summers, and severe freeze-thaw stress much of the year. We've learned which parts last in Alaska's cold northern climate, because deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease, brittle, cold-cracked weatherstripping along the bottom panel, and freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Bethel, the repairs that come up most are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
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.

Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Seal Replacement near me ask us:
How old are most garage doors in Bethel?
Bethel runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1990), roughly 27% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
What's the most common garage door problem in Bethel?
The call we get most in Bethel is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Bethel has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
Will the new seal work on an uneven floor?
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.

Bottom seal only: 30–45 minutes. With retainer replacement: 60–75 minutes. With side and header seals: 90–120 minutes.

T-style (most common since 1990s), P-style (older builds), or bulb (commercial and some specialty). We bring samples to the visit so you can see and feel the options.
How long does a new seal last?
5–8 years for bottom seals in intense sun. Sheltered or shaded doors get 10+ years. Side and header seals last longer.
