Real reviews from local homeowners who trusted us with their garage door repairs and installations.
Garage door spring snapped overnight
"Woke up to a loud bang in the garage and the door was completely dead. Wouldn't lift more than a few inches and I could tell something serious had happened. I went on the Instant Garage Doors (IGD) website and used the Book Online option because it was early and I didn't want to call yet. They got back to me fast and had someone out the same day. Isaac explained the spring had snapped and also pointed out the other one was close behind. The repair took less time than I expected and the door felt smoother than it had in years afterward. What stood out was how normal and straightforward everything felt. No rush, no weird sales talk, just fixing what was broken."Read full review →

Knowledgeable About PNW Weather Issues

Life Savers! Fast Emergency Repair

Garage Door Opener Installation

Frequently Asked Questions - Renton
You say you are local, how fast can you get to my house in Renton?
Because we actually live and operate in Renton, we can typically provide prompt, same-day service to our neighbors in Fairwood, the Highlands, and surrounding areas. Our trucks are already running routes through town, so we skip the long drive that out-of-area companies deal with.
Do you install new doors, or just fix broken ones?
We do it all! While we are experts at complex repairs, we also specialize in complete garage door makeovers, installing beautiful, insulated new systems that transform your home's exterior. We carry modern, traditional, and custom options from top brands like Clopay, Amarr, and CHI.
Why do garage door springs break so often here?
The natural moisture in the Puget Sound area causes standard steel springs to rust and bind over time. Renton sits right next to Lake Washington and the Cedar River, so the humidity is even higher here than most areas. We solve this by upgrading our customers to specialized, heavy-duty galvanized springs that resist corrosion and last years longer.
Are you available for weekend emergencies near The Landing?
Absolutely. We take emergency calls seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Whether you are near The Landing, downtown Renton, or out in Fairwood, call us at (425) 533-0350 and we will get a tech headed your way.
Proudly providing expert garage door services to Renton and our neighbors in Kent, Newcastle, and Tukwila.
