Stop the draft, lower your hydro bills, and regain your home comfort with Ottawa’s trusted door sealing specialists.
The Frustration of a Drafty Home
There is nothing quite as frustrating as sitting in your living room in the middle of a Kanata winter and feeling a bitter chill crawling across the floor. You’ve cranked up the thermostat, your furnace is working overtime, yet the area around your entryway remains freezing. You can see the light peeking through the edges of your door, and you know exactly where your expensive heated air is going—right out into the street. If you are struggling with a drafty entryway, professional Door Seal Repair in Ottawa is the fastest, most cost-effective way to restore your sanctuary.
The Real Cost of Neglect
Ignoring a failing door seal is more than just a matter of “wearing a sweater.” In the Ottawa Valley, our extreme temperature swings cause door frames to warp and rubber gaskets to become brittle and crack. When your weatherstripping installation fails, it’s not just air escaping; it’s an invitation for moisture ingress, which leads to wood rot and mold. Furthermore, these gaps are the primary highway for pests seeking warmth. A small air leak today can easily evolve into a structural repair or a pest infestation tomorrow.
At My Ottawa Handyman, we specialize in high-performance door sealing solutions tailored for the National Capital Region. We don’t just “stick on” some foam tape; we provide a comprehensive overhaul of your door’s envelope. From front door seal replacement to complex sliding glass door seal repair, our team ensures a vacuum-tight fit. With our Iron-Clad 48-hour guarantee, fixed pricing, and a commitment that “no job is too small,” we provide the professional results you need to stay warm and save money.

Our Comprehensive Door Sealing Services
1. Residential Front Door Seal Replacement
Your main entry door is used thousands of times a year. This constant friction wears down the compression seals and bottom sweeps. We provide industrial-grade weatherstripping installation in Ottawa that can withstand our -30°C winters. We replace old, brittle seals with high-durability silicone or magnetic gaskets that remain flexible even in extreme cold.
2. Sliding Patio Door Seal Repair
Sliding doors are notorious for air leaks, especially at the “interlock” where the two panels meet. These require specialized LSI components like fin seal or mohair stripping. We align the tracks and replace the gaskets to ensure your patio door is as energy-efficient as a solid wall.
3. Garage Door Bottom Seal Repair
The seal at the bottom of your garage door is often the first thing to fail, allowing salt, slush, and rodents into your garage. We install heavy-duty U-shaped rubber seals that create a perfect contour with your concrete floor, even if the floor has slightly settled or is uneven.
4. Commercial Entryway Sealing
For Ottawa business owners, a drafty door means uncomfortable customers and higher overhead. We provide high-traffic door seal repair in Ottawa for storefronts, ensuring your business stays warm while maintaining ease of access.
The My Ottawa Handyman Process: How We Do It
Thermal Leak Audit: We begin by identifying the exact points of failure using visual inspection and pressure testing. We look for light gaps, “whistling” sounds, and moisture stains.
Surface Debridement: New seals won’t stick to old glue. We meticulously remove old weatherstripping and clean the door jamb to ensure a surgical-grade bond.
Custom Fitting: No two doors in Ottawa are perfectly square. We custom-cut every seal and adjust the “sweep” to account for your specific flooring height.
Hardware Alignment: Sometimes the draft isn’t the seal—it’s the strike plate. We adjust your door’s hinges and latches so the door pulls tightly against the seal when locked.
The 48-Hour Guarantee Test: We stand by our work. If you feel even the slightest draft within 48 hours of our visit, we return to fix it for free, no questions asked.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
If you have more questions, feel free to reach out! We’re always here to help you get the information you need.
Most residential door seal repairs fall between $150 and $350 per door, including high-quality materials and labor. At My Ottawa Handyman, we provide fixed pricing on most services so there are no surprises on your final bill.
If you can see daylight around the edges of the door when it’s closed, feel a breeze, or notice “moisture beads” on the interior frame, your seals have failed. Another trick is the “dollar bill test”—if you can slide a bill through the closed door with no resistance, you need a repair.
For our climate, silicone or EPDM rubber is superior to foam tape. Silicone remains flexible in extreme cold, whereas foam can freeze and crack, breaking the seal.
While DIY kits are available at big-box stores, they often fail because the door isn’t properly aligned. A professional door seal repair includes adjusting the hinges and strike plates to ensure the door actually compresses the seal.
Absolutely. Statistics from Natural Resources Canada suggest that sealing air leaks can save homeowners up to 20% on annual heating and cooling costs.
