Heavy rain, high humidity, and strong heat create constant problems for garage doors in Florida. Small gaps around the edges allow water, dirt, and pests to get inside, leading to ongoing issues.
At Wagmore Garage Doors, we replace worn seals with weather-resistant options, so your garage stays dry and cool. Our seals cover the bottom, sides, and top of your garage door with durable materials. Call us today to schedule a service call in Jacksonville or St. Augustine.

Without a proper seal, gaps along your garage door let in dirt, rain, and humid air. During a heavy storm, water can push under the door and into your garage. In summer, hot, humid air pours in and raises the temperature inside.
Seals close gaps by pressing firmly against the floor, sides, and top of the door frame. They block water at ground level, reduce heat transfer through the frame, and prevent bugs and rodents from getting in.
Worn seals often go unnoticed until problems become visible. Small issues can quickly lead to bigger problems. Check for these six warning signs; if any of them look familiar, it's time for a seal replacement:
Rubber feels dry, brittle, or easily splits when pressed
Gaps appear along edges, letting in air, water, and debris
Light passes through even when the garage door is closed
Rainwater enters the garage during storms or after heavy rain.
Dust and debris frequently accumulate near the door edges
The seal doesn't sit evenly across the garage floor
Different types of seals play a specific role in keeping your garage protected. Each one covers a specific part of the garage door. The right combination depends on your door size, floor condition, and the specific gaps you're trying to address.
New seals make a noticeable difference right away. They reduce cooling costs by blocking hot, humid air from pushing into your garage and raising the temperature inside. That means your AC needs to run less often, reducing your monthly energy bill.
Upgraded materials also last longer than standard rubber, so you're not replacing them every couple of years. Better seals also extend the life of the garage door itself. When water and debris can't get under the door, your floor stays dry, and your door hardware corrodes more slowly.
Seals are just one part of a well-functioning garage door setup. We also offer these upgrades and services for our customers in Jacksonville and St. Augustine:
