"David did an amazing job of tinting the windows in my home. I previously researched tinting windows to block out heat. While speaking to David on the phone, he told me that the temperature was measured before and after tinting the windows in a client's home and the temperature was lowered in a room by 20°. I was skeptical, but I had him come to my home for an estimate. It was a little more than I expected, but it was cheaper than buying new windows. I have him a deposit and he came back a couple weeks later as promised. Once he arrived he brought in a lot of equipment. Before he started he even made friends with my guard dog so he didn't bark or try eat him as much upon arrival. David was professional and got straight to work. I was really amazed at how much darker my home was when he was finished. After he was done he cleaned up after himself and I paid him the remainder for his services. He did not try to charge any additional fees other than what was quoted. The next day was very warm and when I got home from work I checked the garage and all the rooms that were normally unbearably got. THEY WERE NOT HOT!!! The temperature was actually about 20° to 25° lower than it normally would be. After seeing the professionalism and REAL RESULTS from his services, I feel that it was indeed a good and fair price for his services."

"The job SPF did was done in a timely fashion & the workers were very friendly & helpful answering our questions. Overall,it was a favorable experience. Time will tell just how much of a difference the installation of window tinting will make although we're already feeling it after just a few days."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.

The most popular tint percentage for home windows is 35%. Generally, most homeowners choose a visible light transmission (VLT) between 50% and 35%, where lower numbers mean less sunlight enters the home. A 35% tint blocks over half the incoming light while still allowing plenty of natural light, which can improve energy efficiency and comfort. If privacy is a primary concern, you can opt for a tint of 50% or lower to make it more difficult for people to see inside. However, keep in mind that very dark, thick tints may offer fewer energy-efficiency benefits.

Unlike cars, there are no laws regulating window tint percentages on homes, so you can choose what you think is best. It is often a good idea to hire a professional, as they can show you samples of how different tint levels will look in your specific property, helping you make the right choice.

The lifespan of window tinting depends on several factors, but a high-quality, professionally applied tint can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years, with premium tints lasting at least 15 to 20 years. Key factors influencing longevity include the quality of the film, the professionalism of the installation, and the type of window. Some companies offer lifetime warranties, while others may only provide a one-year warranty or none at all, so it's wise to verify this with your service provider. To prolong the film's life, clean it gently with a microfiber towel and mild cleaning solutions. Avoid harsh, abrasive, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners, as well as sharp tools or scrubbers, which can damage the surface.

You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn’t the most aesthetically friendly.  

Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.
