There can be many signs that repairs need to be made/arranged for a roll-up door, a few common ones are:

Difficulty opening and closing.
Strange noise or sounds.
Door not staying open or closed.
Visible damage or wear and tear.

Periodic maintenance is required to keep roll-up doors in top working condition.
