"Bilt Local handled our entire office tinting job and did incredible work. Their crew was on time, clean, cordial and a pleasure to work with overall. I received four bids on the location and Bilt Local’s pricing was the second cheapest. I could have gone with the cheaper option, but when I factored in the pricing and the comfortability that I had with their team, it was a no brainer option. They asked questions that the other firms did not ask and they provided more time and education to me than their competitors. I highly recommend Bilt Local if you are in need of office tinting, or any tinting in general. Thanks so much to their team!"
"They removed window tint from our windows that had been put on by the former homeowner. The work was VERY expensive. Nice people, honest, did a good job. But the charge did not coincide with the work needed."
"“Max and Matt showed up on time, the price was higher than I had paid at my other house. They had to redo some windows it was a very windy warm day so the windows were drying faster than they could wipe down the surfaces. They came back a few days later and redid a couple of windows on the East and West sides of the house. They look good now, they do aim to please!”"
"Sun Shield is great. I wish I had tinted my windows years ago. My home stays so much cooler now. Brad was easy to work with and did professional work."
"All work was completed very well and timely, including window installation, exterior stucco and interior drywall and trim work. I'm pleased with the results and the price was very reasonable for the job. I highly recommend this company for window replacement."
While it is possible to install home window tint yourself, it is a challenging task that is often best left to professionals. The process can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring steady hands and a great deal of patience, especially for a first-time installer.
Common mistakes in DIY applications include visible bubbles, imperfections, and film that either hangs over the edges or doesn't fully cover the glass. These errors not only look unprofessional and detract from your home's curb appeal but can also reduce the tint's effectiveness in blocking sunlight and heat. If you have struggled with applying protective films to smaller items like phones or tablets, you may find this task particularly difficult.
Attempting the installation yourself and making a mistake can lead to wasted material and the additional cost of hiring a professional to fix the issues or redo the job. Although hiring a professional involves labor costs, it typically guarantees a high-quality, seamless appearance and saves you from having to do the work over again.
Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.
No, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Solar screens reduce glare and block UV rays, which may slightly dim natural light and alter the view from inside. However, most homeowners find the trade-off worthwhile for improved comfort and energy savings. The impact depends on the screen’s color and density, with darker screens blocking more light but providing enhanced glare reduction and privacy.
Modern windows provide enhanced UV protection, improved heat retention, and cooling efficiency, contributing to overall household energy savings.
