Why Is Your Garage Door So Loud?
Garage door systems have many moving parts, including rollers, hinges, springs, tracks, and openers, all of which must work together in perfect synchronization. When even one component is worn or misaligned, the result is usually unwanted noise.
Common causes of noisy garage doors include:
- Worn-out metal rollers that drag along the track and vibrate
- Loose hinges, bolts, or brackets that rattle during operation
- Unbalanced doors that put uneven pressure on the system
- Dry or corroded metal parts that squeal or screech
- Outdated openers or chains that shake the entire structure
These issues may seem minor at first, but over time, they place extra stress on your garage door’s motor and other hardware. This can lead to breakdowns, emergency repairs, or premature replacement of major parts.
If your garage door has gotten louder recently or has always been noisy, it’s time to call in the pros.

What’s Included in Our Noise Reduction Services
Our noise reduction services are designed to quiet the noise and improve the overall performance of your garage door. Every appointment begins with a thorough inspection, which enables us to accurately identify the source of the sound.
Here’s what we include during a typical service visit:
Lubrication of all moving metal parts, including springs, hinges, and rollers, using high-quality silicone or lithium-based products.
Roller replacement, swapping out old metal rollers for smooth, ultra-quiet nylon alternatives.
Tightening and securing of loose bolts, fasteners, hinges, and brackets.
Perform track inspection and alignment to ensure everything is adjusted correctly.
Balance testing, ensuring your door isn’t putting strain on the opener.
Garage door opener inspection, especially if chain or motor noise is a factor.
Conduct general maintenance checks, flagging any worn or damaged parts that could impact long-term performance.
We don’t just mask the sound, we eliminate the cause.
Signs You Need a Noise Reduction Service
Not sure whether it’s time to schedule service? Here are some common signs your garage door could benefit from a professional noise reduction tune-up:
- Grinding or screeching when the door opens or closes.
- Rattling, banging, or vibrating noises that travel through walls or ceilings.
- Jerky or uneven movement, especially when closing.
- Loud clanking during the middle of the operation.
- There has been a general increase in noise levels over the past few months.
- Recent part replacements that may not have been installed or lubricated correctly.
Many customers don’t realize how loud their garage door is until they hear the difference after service. We aim to make your system run as quietly and efficiently as possible.

Bundle It With a Garage Door Tune-Up
Our noise reduction services are often bundled with a complete garage door tune-up. This combination helps prevent future issues and ensures your system is working safely, efficiently, and quietly.
Benefits of bundling with a complete tune-up include:
- Extend the lifespan of your garage door and opener.
- Improved energy efficiency, especially when combined with insulated upgrades.
- Peace of mind, knowing your door is properly aligned and balanced.
- Fewer surprise breakdowns and emergency calls.
If it’s been over a year since your last service or you can’t remember when it was, we strongly recommend a complete tune-up during your noise reduction visit.

They are a fantastic small family owned business and again I very highly recommend them!! Roger Winstead2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With a jammed garage door from a snapped cable, I searched NextDoor for a repair company with great reviews and I found three I decided to call. One of the other companies called 28 hours after my request and I never heard from the 3rd at all. DoorJam owner Jason reached out within 30 minutes of my call. Jason was very accommodating and even offered to come out that same afternoon, but scheduling for me worked better for the next day. The service call was set for between 1pm-3pm. I received a text from service technician Justin that he was on the way to the house and he was there early, ready to get to work. Justin was knowledgeable and super personable. He mentioned a few other things that needed to be done to the garage door besides the repair, but was not pushy on the over-sell and was happy to just take care of fixing the door so we could use our garage again. We will definitely reach out to DoorJam soon to have some maintenance take care of and highly recommended them for doing great work and at a fair price. Two thumbs up! Joshua Stevens2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was very professional and show up same day to look at my garage door. Was able to fix the issue.
