The cleaners removed the window screen but while cleaning them, they destroyed my windows screen.

I have very high windows and the cleaners left behind water marks all over, did not look very good.

"Pretty good deal for $100 up front. The 5 included sensors cover my doors/sliders. We were disappointed that the mobile app functionality isn't included with the base monitoring plan after the first month. And my bathroom door sensor only works half the time. They told us that the dog (a little mini-poodle) wouldn't set off the motion sensor but she does - so we don't ever use it which leaves us exposed if someone comes in thru a window. But for basic coverage at $35 a month its not a bad deal. I like that its cellular (no land line needed) and self-installation was easy with their excellent phone app. I may upgrade the system at some point with window sensors, glass break sensor, front door camera."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Visibility through tinted house windows or privacy film depends on the lighting. During the day, the tint or film typically prevents people from seeing inside. However, at night, if you have lights on inside your home, the interior will be brighter than the outside, which allows people to see in. You can choose from various shades of privacy film, from lighter to darker, to optimize the level of privacy you want.

Tinting reduces glare, blocks UV rays, enhances privacy, and improves energy efficiency.

Yes, most professional-grade window films include warranties covering fading, peeling, and bubbling.

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 best windows to tint are those that get the most direct sunlight—particularly sunroom windows or windows facing the south or east where the sun shines most brightly throughout the day. If your pets have favorite windows to lie in front of, you may want to consider those, as well, to protect their skin from sun damage.
