Roller replacement
Loud, shaky door? Worn rollers are the usual cause.
- Quiet sealed-bearing rollers
- Tracks checked & aligned
- Written price before work starts
Rollers guide your garage door up and down the tracks, and they wear out long before the door does. Cracked wheels, flat spots and dry bearings make the door grind, shake and pull harder on the opener.
We replace the full set, not just one roller, so the door runs evenly. Most homeowners choose quiet nylon rollers with sealed bearings, which make a noticeable difference, especially if there's a bedroom above the garage. We'll also check the tracks and hinges, and pair the job with a tune-up if the door needs one.
Door grinding or wobbling?

Our roller services
New rollers only help if the rest of the path is straight, so every roller job includes a track and hinge check.
Nylon roller upgrade
Quiet nylon rollers with sealed ball bearings for smoother, much quieter movement.
Steel roller replacement
Durable steel rollers for heavier doors or where quiet isn't the priority.
Track alignment
Loose or slightly bent tracks adjusted so the new rollers run straight.
Hinge replacement
Worn or cracked hinges replaced, since they carry the roller stems.
Nylon vs. steel rollers
Nylon rollers
Much quieter, don't need as much lubrication, and last a long time when they have sealed bearings. The popular upgrade for most homes.
Steel rollers
Tough and inexpensive, but noisier and they rust and need regular lubrication. Common on builder-grade doors.
Signs your rollers need replacing
Take a look at the rollers when the door is closed. Call if you see or hear:
- Grinding or scraping as the door movesWorn bearings or wheels are dragging in the track.
- The door shakes or jerksUneven or flat-spotted rollers bump along the track.
- Chipped, cracked or wobbly wheelsDamaged rollers can pop out of the track.
- Rollers that don't spin freelySeized bearings make the opener work harder.
- Rust on steel rollersRust means friction, noise and faster wear.
Safety first. The bottom rollers sit in brackets that are under spring tension. Don't remove them yourself; the bracket can release suddenly.
