Why is my garage door squealing?

A garage door can squeal when it opens and closes, which normally shows that the door needs some maintenance.  We do provide a lubrication service, which will help to clean the rollers and allow the door to open and close correctly. However, some garage door rollers may be worn out and need to be replaced. The balancing of springs could also be the culprit that is leading to concerns.
