The seal is on the outside of the garage door. Can anyone tell me who does this?

Are you referring to the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door? If so, just buy one at Lowe's or Home Drpot and replace it yourself. Very easy to do.

If you’re referring to the pieces on the exterior of the garage door (2 vertical and one horizontal) it’s called Vinyl Draft Stop. It’s nailed into the wooden frame surrounding the garage door opening and provides a seal on the door itself. Romac (garage door division) is the local supplier of pieces longer than 9’, but they’ve been out of stock for months. The only other place is Ocala, which if you really need it (for example to satisfy a home inspection) you can make the trip. I included a photo, if this is what you’re referring to.

I paid a guy $120.00 to replace my rubber gasket on the bottom of my garage door, stupid me.
I watch a video on you tube, easy peasy

It seals the door it's part of our wind codes. It has been in short supply for a while.lowes has it and two pieces can be butted together to do the top which is either 16 or 18 feet. Sides will be 7 or 8.

Usually Romac & others only carry White. Scott put Almond color on our door to better blend with paint color.

Those are available at Lowe's. 8 bucks for the 7' strip. Very easy to replace, and can be painted to match the house color.

It looks like the 9-foot size is also available at the Wildwood Lowes.

I've installed hundreds of feet of these. Unfortunately, most of the houses here need wider widths for the top portion, and getting two and butting them together looks amateur. And yes, they're easily painted to match the existing color of the house trim/band

Hence the reason the home inspector dinged it on the report for the customer.

after you replace the seal, apply car wax paste to the seal that meets the floor. older door seals need the wax, it keeps the seal from sticking to the floor, and pulling it from the door

It won’t stick to concrete only painted concrete

Easy, but usually looks like crap done by a rookie.
It's worth having a "pro" do the job, it's the front of your house.

I always get a laugh at it's easy. I am a garage door tech over 20 years it's not that easy and when the stucco pulls off when removing old ones you want to cry. Also many homes used steel and concrete header making it very difficult to nail in. One of my least favorite jobs.

With service call that's very reasonable.

Yeah, I can do a lot of things myself, and do so, but what is money for? I could have power washed my driveway by renting a power washer and it would have taken all day but paid somebody $80 and it was done in 45 minutes. That is what I call progress. Money is like manure, spread it around.
