Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Inspect → remove → replace → tune in a single visit.
Every door type: Insulated steel, wood/composite overlay, full-view aluminum, tilt-up.
Occupied-space pros: Floor protection, debris capture, tidy caulking, same-day cleanup.
Door-first approach: We check track alignment and limits so seals seat properly.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
At dusk, turn lights on in the garage and check for daylight gaps along the sides/top.
Note windy corners, insects, or dust trails near the jambs and header.
Snap close-ups of the existing seal profile and jamb condition (paint/rot/rust).
Call our team—we’ll confirm profile, color, and length and schedule a quick service window.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Daylight and drafts around jambs/header
Salty air degrading brittle seals along the coast
Pest entry (ants/spiders) through shrink gaps
Noise and fumes drifting from driveways/alleys
Energy loss in attached garages/rooms above
Inspect & Measure
Confirm seal profile, color, and length; check jamb straightness, paint/rot/rust; document with photos.
Removal & Surface Prep
Remove old stops/seals; scrape residue; spot-sand; prime/patch minor paint issues on wood; treat rust on metal frames.
Professional Installation
Install nail-on stop with integrated seal or retainer + insert; set even reveal; use stainless/galv. fasteners; trim clean miters at corners.
Tune & Compression Set
Close door, adjust seal kiss (firm contact without drag); verify smooth travel and quiet close.
Seal & Finish
Apply paintable exterior sealant where indicated; color-match caps; tidy edges.
Walkthrough & Care
Review cleaning/lubrication tips and expected lifespan; leave color/product details for records.
What’s Included
Gap assessment & measurements
Color-matched perimeter seals (vinyl/EPDM) or retainer + insert system
Stainless/galv. fasteners and neat mitered corners
Edge caulking (where indicated) and minor jamb touch-prep

Cleanup + care guide with install date recorded
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 30–75 minutes per single/double door.
Key cost drivers: Door size, seal system (nail-on vs. retainer), color availability, jamb repairs (wood rot/rust), and coastal fastener upgrades.
Estimate clarity: Line items for seals/retainers, installation, and optional jamb touch-ups or threshold pairing.
Insurance & Claims Help
After storm/wind-driven rain, we can document before/after photos and materials used for your records.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Water intrusion at the header corners and jambs
Rust/rot on frames from repeated wetting
Pest ingress and odor/dust infiltration
Higher energy loss and opener strain from vibration and rattle
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Materials: UV-stable vinyl/EPDM; EPDM preferred for sun/salt longevity.
Systems: Nail-on stop with integral fin or aluminum retainer + replaceable insert for serviceability.
Fasteners: Stainless/galvanized; proper spacing and countersink; corrosion-smart for OC.
Fit & Finish: Even reveal, light “kiss” compression; tight 45° miters; paintable sealant as needed.
Integration: Coordinate with bottom seal/threshold to eliminate total perimeter daylight.
Compliance: Verify UL 325 safety after adjustments (photo-eyes, force limits).
Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl or EPDM—what’s better?
EPDM lasts longer in UV/salt exposure; vinyl is a solid value choice inland. We’ll recommend based on your location.
Will new seals rub the door or peel paint?
We set light compression—enough to seal without drag; we also adjust track/limits to protect finishes.
Can you match my trim color?
Yes—common colors stocked; custom colors available or paintable stops on request.
Do I need a bottom seal too?
Often, yes—perimeter + bottom works together. We can replace both same visit.
How long do seals last?
Typically 3–7 years depending on sun/salt; EPDM tends to be on the higher end.
Will this help with bugs?
Sealing side/top gaps dramatically reduces entry points; pair with a tight bottom seal for best results.
