Using top-quality parts and expert craftsmanship, we restore your garage door’s performance and reliability, giving you peace of mind and long-term durability.

What Is Cable & Roller Replacement?

Your garage door relies on a system of cables and rollers to open and close smoothly. Over time, these components experience wear and tear, which can lead to operational issues, safety risks, and even costly repairs if not addressed.

Garage Door Cables: Strength & Safety

Garage door cables work alongside the torsion or extension springs to lift and lower the door. These high-tension cables are made of strong, braided steel, designed to handle the heavy weight of the door. However, with constant use, they can become frayed, rusted, or even snap, leading to:

  • Uneven door movement or doors getting stuck
  • Doors slamming shut unexpectedly, posing a safety hazard
  • Increased strain on the opener and springs, potentially causing more damage

Garage Door Rollers: Smooth, Silent Operation

Rollers allow your garage door to glide up and down the tracks. They are available in different materials, including plastic, steel, and nylon, with nylon rollers offering the quietest and smoothest performance. Over time, rollers can crack, wear out, or pop off the track, resulting in:

  • Noisy, jerky door movement
  • Increased resistance, putting stress on the opener
  • Misaligned or off-track doors, making operation unsafe

When Do You Need Cable & Roller Replacement?

You should consider replacing your garage door cables and rollers if you notice:

  • Frayed or rusted cables
  • Rollers that are cracked, wobbly, or stiff
  • Loud grinding or squeaking noises
  • The door moving unevenly or getting stuck
  • The door shaking or vibrating during operation

What’s Included in Our Cable & Roller Replacement?

We follow a thorough, professional process to ensure your garage door operates smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Our expert technicians use top-quality parts and proven techniques to deliver reliable, long-lasting results. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us for cable and roller replacement:

1. Comprehensive Inspection

Before starting any work, we perform a detailed assessment of your garage door system, checking for:

  • Frayed or rusted cables
  • Worn-out or misaligned rollers
  • Track obstructions or damage
  • Spring tension and opener functionality

This step ensures we identify all potential issues and prevent future problems.

2. Safe Removal of Old Cables & Rollers

Garage door cables and rollers are under high tension, making professional handling essential for safety. Our technicians carefully:

  • Release tension in the springs to prevent sudden movement
  • Remove the worn or broken cables and rollers
  • Inspect other hardware, such as brackets and hinges, for signs of wear

3. Installation of High-Quality Replacements

We use heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant cables and durable nylon rollers for quiet, smooth operation. Our team ensures:

  • Cables are installed with the correct tension and alignment
  • Rollers are secured and roll freely within the tracks
  • All components work together seamlessly

4. Precision Testing & Adjustments

Once the new cables and rollers are installed, we test the door’s movement and make necessary adjustments:

  • Balance the door to prevent uneven wear
  • Align tracks and lubricate moving parts for smooth operation
  • Test the automatic opener and safety features

5. Final Safety Check & Customer Walkthrough

Before we finish, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is secure and functioning properly. We also provide:

  • A detailed walkthrough of the work completed
  • Tips on proper maintenance to extend the life of your new components
  • Answers to any questions you may have

Why You Need Cable & Roller Replacement

A malfunctioning garage door isn’t just an inconvenience—it can be a safety hazard and lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed. Worn-out cables and rollers are among the most common causes of garage door problems, affecting performance, safety, and longevity. Here’s what can go wrong and how our expert service can help:

Common Problems Caused by Worn Cables & Rollers

Frayed or Broken Cables

Over time, garage door cables can become frayed, rusted, or completely snap due to constant tension and exposure to the elements. A broken cable can cause the door to become uneven, jammed, or even fall suddenly, creating a serious safety risk.

Our Solution: We replace worn cables with heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel cables, ensuring smooth and safe operation for years to come.

Noisy or Shaky Door Movement

If your garage door is squeaking, rattling, or jerking as it moves, worn-out rollers may be to blame. Over time, plastic or metal rollers wear down, lose their smooth rotation, and cause extra strain on the tracks and opener.

Our Solution: We install high-quality nylon rollers, which provide quiet, friction-free operation and reduce wear on other components.

Door Stuck or Off-Track

A garage door with damaged cables or rollers may struggle to open or close, get stuck halfway, or even come off its tracks. This can make your garage inaccessible and put extra stress on your opener and springs, leading to expensive repairs.

Our Solution: We carefully realign and adjust the door while installing new cables and rollers, restoring proper function and preventing future damage.

Uneven or Sagging Garage Door

A door that looks crooked or doesn’t close flush with the ground often signals a cable issue. Uneven tension in the cables can cause one side of the door to lift higher than the other, creating gaps that compromise security and insulation.

Our Solution: We ensure that both cables are properly tensioned and balanced, allowing the door to open and close evenly while maintaining a secure seal.

Benefits of Professional Cable & Roller Replacement

  • Improved Safety – Prevents sudden garage door failures that could cause injuries or property damage.
  • Smooth, Quiet Operation – High-quality rollers eliminate annoying squeaks and jerky movement.
  • Extended Lifespan of Your Garage Door – Reduces strain on the opener and tracks, helping your system last longer.

"Kyle is AWESOME!!  Returned my call quickly, helped me decide on a solution that met our needs and didn't bankrupt us.  While he was at our home he noticed some maintenance on our other garage door and did it as part of his service. Can't recommend them enough!!"
— Jason N. C.

"A spring on our garage door broke and I needed it replaced while I was out of the country. I found Kyle and his team through a Facebook group where other members gave him great reviews. I contacted him and he responded quickly with an estimated price. His tech Steve came out to replace the springs and determined the bearings were also bad. He replaced the springs, bearings, and rollers all for a great price. They were very transparent about pricing and flexible with what work I wanted to have completed."
— Jason S.

"Kyle came to fix my 10’ door with a broken spring. He priced a job with a better spring and the lowest bid. He walked me through the work he was going to do and showed me where the issues were on the door and guide. His service was prompt and he was extremely communicative through the whole process. Would definitely recommend these guys in the future. I found my new garage guy."
