"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."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Some frosted glass sprays can handle the outdoors, but most of them aren't built for it. Sprays made for exterior use will say so clearly on the label. Anything marked “interior use only” can't hold up against rain, UV exposure, or changing temperatures without peeling, fading, or yellowing. Outdoor-rated sprays are typically more durable, but even then, proper prep and application matter. Before spraying anything outside, double-check the product instructions. If it doesn’t specifically mention exterior use, skip it. 

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 ideal thickness of window film depends on various factors and specific needs. Thicker films generally offer increased durability and enhanced security benefits. They are also typically more effective at reducing heat and blocking UV rays. However, thinner options may be preferable for some applications, such as decorative or privacy films. Thinner films are easier to apply and provide adequate privacy without compromising visibility. Ultimately, the best thickness of window film will depend on your specific requirements, desired benefits, and the recommendations of professional installers.

ENERGY STAR®-certified windows are the most energy-efficient windows on the market. This certification means that the window meets strict efficiency guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. While they might cost more upfront, they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. ENERGY STAR®-certified windows lower household energy bills by an average of 12% annually.

Yes, you can remove window tint from house windows. You can either use heat to loosen the film before peeling or scrape it away with a blade. You’ll also use a solution to wipe away any adhesive that still clings to the window.
