"I was in need of some sort of protection for my south facing living room window. I called AZ Glass Guard and Grant said he could be at my house in 30 minutes. After discussing my problem he suggested three options. I could not believe how professional and courteous he was. The job was done in less than an hour...and it was perfect! Not only was the price very reasonable it was exactly what Grant said the results would be. I am telling anyone who reads this that AZ Glass Guard should be your window tinting go to company. Great service, price, great work! Thanks to Grant, and AZ Glass Guard. Jeff"
"Puritint did a wonderful job on our windows. Their arrival was prompt and they worked quickly and efficiently. They left a very clean work area in our house upon their completion. My wife and I were very pleased at the results, we are noticing a much cooler temperature in our home since completion completion of this job. I highly recommend this company(Puritint) to anyone who wants a cooler house."
"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."
"They tinted almost all the glass at the house, they did frosted in the garage for privacy, dark dual reflective in the bedrooms, vista in the living areas of the house and accommodated wanting our slider split with one on top and the other on the bottom. We were provided with all warrantees and haven't experienced any issues with the tint. We also haven't had any issues with the dogs scratching it, etc."
"“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!”"
Energy-efficient windows are judged on their performance according to a few different factors, including heat transfer, air leakage, light transference, and condensation resistance. If you're unsure whether a window is energy-efficient, look for an ENERGY STAR® label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If various products, including windows, meet energy-efficiency standards set by the federal government, the EPA issues this label to help consumers identify energy-efficient products.
While you need heat to peel back window film, the tint will often leave behind adhesive residue. You can use chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove the residue, though hardware stores sell specialized solutions for this purpose as well. You can also use soapy water in a pinch!
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.
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.
Replacing a window frame will improve your home’s energy efficiency if the old frame is cracked or damaged in a way that allows unconditioned air from the outside into your living space or if you upgrade to a more energy-efficient window frame material. Aluminum is the least energy-efficient window frame material, followed by vinyl and wood. Fiberglass and composite frames are the most energy-efficient.
