"I highly recommend this product and this company. I found Tint Factory through the list of LA recommended companies on the 3M website. they were not the only companies that I interviewed. I called 3M a few times with questions and interviewed the companies that came out to give bids. the Tint Factory people from the beginning couldn't have been nicer. they were on time, explained every step, cleaned up all and the price was right. the film takes about a month to "cure" and the work was done only a few days ago but what a transformation - the house is so much cooler and 99% of the UV rays are no longer going to fade my furniture, photos or art. a happier me. my assistant marveled today at how much cooler the house was and it was blistering outside today... LA will, unfortunately, only be getting hotter - solar film is a good way to reduce that heat load. even if you use air-conditioning (which I don't), you will have less hot air to cool."

"In the beginning, the company responded promptly to my initial phone call requesting a quote to replace all windows in my home. Unfortunately, I then received contradictory requests from the company. First, the receptionist told me that they could provide a quote if I would send photos and dimensions of all windows. This surprised me since I expected them to need to inspect the job before quoting. But as requested, I provided photos and dimensions that same day. Then I received an email from a company VP stating that they were excited about the job but that he had many questions and would need to inspect. I agreed since that was my initial expectation. So we scheduled an onsite inspection. (It should be noted that, during the next few weeks, I tried to contact that VP on several occasions but could never get a return call or email). After the inspection, I was told that the quote would be completed within a few days. This is where the process deteriorated. From the beginning, I asked that the quote be prepared listing each window with corresponding price and specs to ensure that all windows being quoted were consistent with my request to replace all windows. When the quote was finally provided (late), it was presented as a lump sum with no cost itemization by window and the total cost was much higher than an initial indication by the person who inspected my home. When I discussed the quote with one of the office personnel, she was unable to answer basic questions about the apparent double counting of labor cost and she promised to email a revised quote to me within 1 day. After waiting nearly 2 weeks for that revised quote, which I never received, I called the company asking to speak with the VP who had initially emailed me. But I was told that he was unavailable and that I would receive a call back, soon. That never happened. Unfortunately, the positive impression that I had from my initial contact with LA Glass eroded over the nearly month-long process which included contradictory requests, inability to honor company commitments for feedback, high cost estimate, and inability to communicate with the VP whose initial email indicated his excitement about the job."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost for home window tinting is around $600, with most homeowners paying between $150 and $1,600. Costs can also be calculated per square foot, typically ranging from $2 to $100, or per window at around $75 each. For example, tinting one or two windows might cost between $200 and $350, while a larger project of 13 to 15 windows could range from $4,124 to $4,747.

Several factors influence the total project cost, with the number and size of the windows being the most significant. Other key factors include the type, shade, and quality of the tint film, as well as labor costs. Additional treatments, such as low-emissivity (low-E) coatings, can also increase material costs.

Window tinting offers several benefits, such as making your home more energy-efficient by blocking harsh sunlight, protecting furniture from fading, and increasing privacy. For this reason, many homeowners choose to tint only the windows in specific areas where direct sunlight and privacy are primary concerns.

A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.

Home window tinting is generally considered a worthwhile investment due to its numerous benefits. The primary advantages include:

  • Energy Efficiency: Tinting reduces solar heat gain, which lowers cooling costs in warmer months. It can also help retain heat during cooler months, leading to savings on your electric bill that may eventually exceed the initial cost of the tinting.

  • UV Protection: It blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your family and pets from sun damage. This also prevents fading and extends the life of your furniture, flooring, and other interior furnishings.

  • Increased Comfort: By regulating heat, window tinting helps maintain a more comfortable and even temperature throughout your home. It also reduces glare on TVs and other electronic screens.

  • Enhanced Privacy and Security: Tinting makes it more difficult for outsiders to see into your home. Additionally, certain types of window films can increase security by helping the glass withstand trauma from break-in attempts or severe weather.

It's important to note that not all window tints offer the same combination of benefits. For example, security films are designed for impact resistance but may offer less UV protection, while ceramic tints excel at blocking heat and UV rays but do not provide the same level of security.

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.
