We got ours from Amazon for about$16 and did it our self. Easy to do slides right on. Did the same thing for my mother’s garage.

I charge $3.00 per ft plus $65 service call.

Lowe's and Home Depot sell garage door gaskets. It's an easy DIY fix. You can do it in five minutes.

They sell only Double T and the one for wood doors. You have to get the right one for your door. They are not all the same.

Can't answer your specific question but consider this: If it's not all ripped just flat and useless due to age get a $2 length of 1" pipe insulation cover and slip it inside the bottom gasket. That will bring it back to life for another few years. We did that and it was great in our previous location. It also works well in an existing new bottom gasket. Some new gaskets have a similar piece in it these days. That being said, if you're handy it's a very simple DIY, Old one slips out new one in with maybe a bit of lube to make is easier to slide in. $25-$30 on (where else) Amazon.

This kind of stuff: Pipe Insulation at Lowes

Or a new gasket with it already built in: Amazon.com

You can also call a couple dealers and they would likely provide exact costs like ROMAC or ASAP or many others.

I bought the 16 footer from Amazon with the tube inside. It's definitely a 2 person job to get the new one on. The rubber? Is pretty flimsy so don't even bother to put a screw in at the ends.
