Squeaking, grinding, rattling, or shaking every time the door opens? A noisy garage door isn't just annoying — it's telling you something needs attention before it becomes an expensive repair. We diagnose and fix the noise.
Dry metal-on-metal friction. Usually fixed with proper lubrication of rollers, hinges, and springs. Quick, affordable fix.
Worn nylon rollers or misaligned tracks. Roller replacement or track adjustment eliminates the grinding.
Loose nuts, bolts, or hinges. We tighten all hardware and replace any worn hinges causing the rattle.
Usually the opener chain or belt has loosened. Adjustment restores quiet operation.
The opener's close limit is set too far. Simple adjustment stops the door from slamming the floor.
Worn or cheap steel rollers. Upgrading to nylon rollers dramatically reduces noise and vibration.
We operate the door and identify the specific noise source — rollers, hinges, springs, tracks, opener, or hardware.
We check all moving parts for wear, looseness, or damage that could be causing or contributing to the noise.
Whether it's lubrication, roller replacement, hardware tightening, track adjustment, or opener repair — we fix the root cause.
We run the door through several cycles to confirm the noise is eliminated and everything operates smoothly.
*Written price given before any work begins. Final price = quoted price. Always.
Not always immediately, but noise is a warning sign. Grinding can mean worn parts that will eventually fail. Squeaking means dry components wearing faster than they should. Fixing noise early prevents costly breakdowns.
WD-40 is not ideal for garage doors. It's a solvent, not a long-term lubricant. We use silicone-based or lithium-based lubricants specifically designed for garage door components.
Dramatically. Nylon rollers are significantly quieter than steel rollers and don't require lubrication. It's the single biggest noise reduction upgrade you can make.
Every 6-12 months. Our $79 annual tune-up includes full lubrication plus a 20-point inspection.
If you have a chain-drive opener, it will always be somewhat loud. We can install a belt-drive opener for whisper-quiet operation. We can also adjust chain tension and lubricate the rail to reduce chain-drive noise.
