It's home repair because I plan on fixing this at home....

My son's 2002 Ford Escort makes a squealing noise when he comes to a
complete stop, regardless of how long he's been driving the vehicle.

I've had it checked out by local garages and they say the brakes are
fine, but I doubt they dissasembled the brakes. Is this something
caused by glazing of the pads? Is the cure to replace the pads or
something else?

I can't tell if it's coming from the front or back. It's got drum
brakes in the back and I don't want to mess with those.

I'd pull the back wheels off, pull the drums and inspect them. The
noise may very well be metal on metal sounds. I got them right now.

Inspect the rear brakes, pads and drums. I presume you have front
breaks with calipers and disk break pads. That is another story.
dust in the rear drums will cause squeal when damp
