Many people enjoy the benefits of having a garage door in their home. They add an extra measure of convenience to your home and they will last quite a while if you care for them properly. Much like your vehicle needs to be served on a regular basis, your garage door does too.

In this article, I will discuss one of my most common service calls, which is complaints of loud, grinding and scraping noises coming from their garage door. This is usually caused by old, worn out doors that have not received the proper maintenance over the years. Although there are many different reasons why this can happen, here is a look at some of the most common:

it's quite common for the hinges of the door to rust over time
you may need to replace your overhead door bolts and nuts
extreme temperatures may have warped the door and affected the hinge functioning or placement
failure to oil screw drive type doors
as is the case with many homeowners, you may not have maintained the garage door properly

In some cases, the use of a good silicone spray on springs, hinges and tracks can quiet a noisy overhead door. This solution is only effective if you only have certain types of doors. The problem may have become more serious if the door hasn't been oiled for a very long time. It's always important that if you are not sure exactly what type of garage door you have, you should immediately contact a professional so that the damage does not become worse and more costly to you. It's important to get any grinding or screeching noises fixed as soon as you can before the situation escalates. The fact is, most garage door service needs can amount to minor repairs over placement, if attended to in time.

Before hiring a garage door service, there are a few things you should consider.

- Make sure the door repair company is experienced in all types of overhead doors
- Make sure the company you hire is experienced with the causes and repairs associated with grinding and screeching noises.
- You also need to hire a company that is properly licensed to operate in your area. It's quite easy to establish one of these companies, so you will need to avoid hiring one of these fly-by-night operations. Before you hire a company, insist on seeing their business license information.
