| Job | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Cable replacementBoth cables, replaced as a pair | from $200 | Cables are replaced in pairs. A frayed cable on one side means the other has done the same work over the same years. |
| Roller setFull nylon set, standard door | from $250 | Ten rollers on a standard door. Nylon runs quieter than steel and is what makes the difference on a door that grinds. |
| Off-track repairDoor rehung on its tracks | from $200 | Price depends on what put the door off the track. A roller out of the curve is quick. A bent track or a panel that took the impact adds parts. |

The job
Why this hardware matters
The cables carry the door's weight from the bottom corners up to the spring shaft. The rollers steer that weight through the curve of the track. Between them they do the hard work of every trip the door makes, and both wear out quietly.
A cable frays from the inside out, so a failing one can look fine from six feet away. A roller wears flats and play into its bearing long before it jumps the track. Caught early, either one is an inexpensive booked job. Caught late, it takes a track section or a panel with it and you have a door off its track, which starts at $200 to put right.
Cables, then rollers
Cables
Replaced in pairs, seated on both drums and tensioned so the door rises level. The spring tension comes off first, the same stored force as a spring job, so this isn't a homeowner repair. If one has already snapped, the snapped cable page covers what to do first.
Rollers
Ten on a standard door. Nylon rollers with sealed bearings replace worn steel ones, and the hinges get checked for play at the same time, because a worn hinge pin knocks the new rollers out of line.
Steel rusts where it stays wet
Not where it gets wet. Rust on the bottom panel, the track, the rollers and the cable ends comes from a damp driveway apron and a door sitting closed on a wet slab overnight. A yearly tune-up is how a cable gets replaced as a line item instead of as an emergency.

Questions
Cable and roller questions
How much does garage door cable replacement cost?
It starts at $200, done as a pair. Cables age together, so replacing only the broken one schedules the next failure instead of ending the problem.
How much does a roller replacement cost?
From $250 for a full nylon set, ten rollers on a standard door. It's the biggest single change you can make to how a door sounds.
How do I know my cables are wearing out?
Look at the last few inches near the bottom brackets with a flashlight. Rust bloom, or single wire strands sticking out of the winding, is the early warning, and catching it there turns an emergency into a booked visit.
Are nylon rollers really quieter than steel?
Yes, and the difference is easy to hear. The deep rumble a door sends through the house is steel rollers running in steel track. Nylon rollers with sealed bearings remove most of it, which makes them the first fix for a garage under a bedroom.
Why do some cables and rollers rust out sooner than others?
Steel rusts where it stays wet, not where it gets wet. A door that sits closed on a damp slab overnight through the wet months keeps its bottom brackets, cable ends and roller bearings damp for hours. A garage that dries out by mid-morning goes years longer on the same parts.
