"The quality is incredible and the service is second to none. I never felt like they were trying to scam or upsell me. They were frank, transparent, and informative when we discussed the options. The employee who helped me (I think his name was Armando) put in extra time to finish my car AND waited for me to finish work to pick up my car. I was told that it takes about a week for any "imperfections" to disappear and if they don't, it was emphasized that I can and should come back to get it fixed. It's too early to tell if there will be any problems, but not only do I not expect there to be, but if t here are, I have no doubt that they will fix them perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Superior Windows Solutions to friends and family."

"The NU-VUE team is focused on customer satisfaction. We needed high quality window film that provided privacy , and was aesthetically pleasing . The co owner Ariel, came up with a creative idea to keep my view. It’s perfect! The installers were wonderful and explained everything. They were super clean and detailed. They also made a change without hesitation or added charge. I’m extremely happy with how my windows look.. and you can’t see the film from the outside… or me!!"

"Robert matched the color to the color of the film that was already on some other windows, was prompt about answering emails and providing the service, and did an excellent job with the actual application. We would definitely recommend Tint San Diego!"

"I was looking for a professional window tinting company for a a store front window replacement project I was doing for a client and Extreme Window Tinting was highly recommended to me by a fellow contractor. The owner Shawn met with me personally at the site and was highly professional. He explained and demonstrated to us how the window tinting reduces the heat transfer from outside to inside and the different types of tinting they offer . He also let us know about the window shades they install and continued to show us the shades and the color options for that as well. We hired them to do the windows and the window shades. The job was done in one day and we’re able to do it with in the scheduled time frame. His team was very professional and organised. I would highly recommend hiring them for your window tinting and roller shade needs."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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.

In many cases, window tinting will boost your home value. If you’re selling your home, especially in a warmer climate, buyers are very likely to see immense value in window tinting, which improves the home’s energy efficiency and helps make the living space more comfortable. Buyers may also recognize the privacy and security improvements offered by window tinting, which could lead to them paying more for your home.

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 most popular treatment for a skylight is skylight shades. There are five primary types: manual, motorized, blackout, cellular//honeycomb, and Venetian. Motorized skylight shades are the most convenient, especially for skylights that are higher up, but manual shades are the most cost-effective treatments. Cellular/honeycomb shades are a perfect option for anyone who wants energy efficiency and an attractive look.

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.
