Garage door making loud noise — Warsaw, Masovian
A noisy garage door — grinding, squealing, rattling, or popping — usually indicates worn rollers, dry hinges, loose hardware, or unbalanced springs. Most noise issues are maintenance problems, not emergencies, and a tune-up ($75–$150) resolves them. Grinding metal-on-metal sounds mean the nylon roller sleeves have worn through to the steel stem — replacement rollers cost $10–$15 each (6–12 per door) plus $100–$200 labor. Squealing means dry bearings or hinges needing lubrication ($50–$100 for a full-door lube service). Rattling often means loose bolts, which tighten in minutes. Popping during operation can indicate a spring nearing end-of-life — have it inspected before it snaps.
