Door Weatherstripping Replacement in Ottawa
Cold draft at the door, daylight at the edges, or bugs getting in through gaps?
I replace worn door weatherstripping and adjust the seal so your exterior door closes tighter and blocks air leakage.
The result is a cleaner seal, less draft, and better comfort — across Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
What this service includes: removal of damaged or flattened weatherstripping, installation of new door seals (appropriate style for your door/frame), and basic alignment checks so the seal contacts evenly.
If needed, I also replace or adjust the door sweep at the bottom for a proper seal at the threshold.
When replacement is the right fix: visible gaps, cracked rubber, torn foam, hard/flattened seals, water or dust entering near the edges, or when the door only seals on one side.
Weatherstripping commonly wears out faster on high-traffic doors and during Ottawa’s temperature swings.
How the work is done: identify the existing seal type, check the contact points around the frame, remove old material, install new weatherstripping cleanly, confirm even compression, and test closing/latching to ensure the door seals without forcing.
Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins.
• If the door is badly warped, the frame is out of square, or the threshold is damaged, additional repair options may be needed and will be discussed first.
• Materials are selected to match the door type; any specialty parts are confirmed before installation.
Registered and insured, with 15+ years of hands-on experience and a clear scope confirmed in advance.
Common Door Weatherstripping Problems I Help With

FAQ — Door Weatherstripping Replacement in Ottawa
Can weatherstripping stop drafts around an exterior door?
Yes. Replacing worn seals and restoring even contact around the frame is one of the most effective ways to reduce drafts and air leakage.
Do you replace the bottom door sweep as well?
If your door has a worn sweep and it’s needed for a proper seal at the threshold, yes — I can replace or adjust it as part of the job.
What if the door still has gaps after new weatherstripping?
If the door or frame is warped or out of square, weatherstripping alone may not solve it. I’ll explain the cause and the repair options before proceeding.
Is pricing flat-rate?
Yes. Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins, based on the door type and the weatherstripping style required.
