Recent Window Tinting Reviews in St Paul
- Advanced Film SolutionsChris and his crew came out to tint and sunblock our windows. Chris did a Great Job. Chris is very good at responding to calls. His crew did an excellent job as well. I definately would recommend them.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCVery courteous and professional crew of 3 young men cleaned the windows and installed film. They were efficient and cleaned up and put everything back together when they were done.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCI called to discuss the film prior to actually purchasing Angie's deal. Dave, who installs all of the film, discussed what I wanted, needed and my options. Scheduling the install was very easy. On time arrival. Dave showed me the film he thought would best fit my needs and offered to remove and replace it with another option if I wasn't satisfied. After covering one pane of glass, I stood first in front of a non-covered window, then stepped to the covered window. I could actually feel the change in temperature - it was amazing! Brian and Dave worked quickly and smoothly together. There was not one tiny shred of film or backing left on the carpet. With really no mention by them, I decided to have film applied to the walk-out doors as well. My home is on a wetland pond. As they worked on the windows, I we chatted and I mentioned something I needed done in the back yard. Dave and Brian just took care of it for me! It had nothing to do with windows and was certainly a surprise, which I gratefully accepted. This is easily the best experience I've had with any home improvement /service company. Competent, knowledgeable, congenial personnel. A great product. I can already feel the difference the window film makes in my home. A good investment and a company I would highly recommend to anyon
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCI was very happy with the quality of the work and their product knowledge. They cleaned up after themselves and were professional. I will definitely be using them in the future!
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCThe entire crew from RW was professional, polite and, as expected, they cleaned up after themselves. Russel Williams provides other services such as window cleaning and cleaning of blinds. I plan to use them later in the year for gutter cleaning.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCBoth window cleaners were very friendly, professional and got the job done fast. They did a good job on hard to reach windows.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCNeat, punctual, professional. I needed something to provide protection from glare. The window film was applied by hand, custom-cut. Went through how dark I wanted the tint to be and then what they recommended.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCThe idea of having our windows professionally tinted with window film (on the inside) was presented to us via a brochure I received in the mail from Russell Williams Window Cleaning. Having used them before for window cleaning (with great results, I might add), I called and arranged for an appointment to receive an estimate. David arrived promptly at the appointed time, samples of the window film in hand so that I could see exactly what the product would do for our windows. He applied sample pieces of two different shades of tint so I could choose the best for our situation. He also explained the installation process completely. He measured and estimated each of our windows so I was able to make a decision on how many windows I wanted to tint with the film. (I choose to do all of our windows) No money down was required and an appointment was set for the later in the week. David and Nate arrived promptly and got right to work. About six hours later our windows were beautifully tinted and look fantastic! The application process was expertly done and I couldn't be happier! AND....they even cleaned the outside of several of my windows at no charge! That made me smile and saved me some work. Both David and Nate were personable and professional and I sure appreciated their promptness. I couldn't be happier with the results
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCDavid and Matt arrived on time and completed their work in a timely and friendly manner. I am delighted with the result - I can now open the blinds without worrying about the sun fading my furniture, and I like the reduced glare.
- Russel Williams Window Cleaning LLCDavid and his crew arrived as scheduled. We had already discussed the needs for my towne home and he brought the appropriate film to apply to the windows. David is the owner and applies the tinting himself with an assistant. The application is tedious and the attention to detail exceeded any expectation. A new crew member was tasked to the exterior window cleaning. The exterior was also done nicely. The men were polite and efficient. I have used Russel Williams in the past and will continue to use and recommend this company. Regarding window tinting: The west facing windows while attractive allow oppressive heat from about 1pm on. Fading of floors,furniture and art work were also an issue. Blinds to the upper windows would obscure a beautiful view. My research to solve this issue brought me to window tinting. I should recoup my cost in about 2 1/2 years. I will also be checking to see if the application can be a write off on taxes for home improvement and energy savings. If so great. If not, the benefit is already evident. My home is more comfortable without expensive cumbersome blinds. I do not feel the heat of the sun until I'm about 6 inches away from the window.... awesome

"Tyler, Gumby?, Andrew and Jake showed up on time and worked very well together as a team. They were quiet, moved quickly and finished my windows inside and out in 3 hours. Tyler said it would have been 6 hours with 2 workers. They are so clean that it almost looks as though there is no glass at all! They told me about a couple of windows with sticking issues so i can get those fixed. I have a 1932 build home with combination windows. The only thing that I question, is f wiping down screens with a wet cloth is enough to keep the dirt from transferring onto the windows when it rains. In the past, the screens are actually removed and washed with Dawn and water. I am afraid of heights so these guys really helped me out. Stellar performance!! Thank you.

"Very good. When Dave came to give me my estimate, he had samples of the film with him, explained exactly what my options were, and was able to provide a written quote immediately. He appeared promptly to do the work, obviously is practiced at what he does, told me what to expect, and has offered to come back if there's any reason to do so.

" I was called right back and had an appointment to get the windshield the very next day at my work. The glass was clean as a whistle, everything was picked up and wiped down, and my car was done in less than an hour. The tech who is also the owner is very personable. I asked about getting a glass table top for my patio furniture as well that I lost in a storm--they do that too! And his price for that is fair, its way less than my deductible so I am paying for it and I get a choice of glass.
"Our home already had light filtering pleated shades. Originally, we wanted to replace them with the same look; but room darkening. Instead of buying all new blinds, we decided to go with Solar Shield and have them tint the windows. This is a very nice option - especially since it saved us over $3,000.

"They were a wonderful company. They wrote everything out for me and listed all the prices, the estimate was very detailed and I very much appreciated that. I was really impressed with the professionalism and detail of their work. I am a satisfied customer."
