Q: How much does it cost to remove window tints?

• <div><p>The most popular way to remove home window tint is by using a hairdryer. Most people already have one in their home, but if you don&rsquo;t, you can buy one for as little as $15. All you need to do is turn the hairdryer to its hottest and highest setting and run it over the window tint for a few minutes. Then, you can easily peel it away. You may need some goo remover for any leftover adhesive, but this DIY could be free for many people. </p></div>

Q: Why won't my window film stick?

• <div><p>Often, window film won&rsquo;t stick if the glass is too dirty; dust and debris can prevent the adhesive from working. Make sure to clean the glass thoroughly before installing the window film. Low-quality film, which may have a weaker adhesive, might also be the cause of your window film&rsquo;s inability to stick.</p></div>

Q: How can I improve the energy efficiency of my windows?

• <div><p>Upgrade to double-glazed glass or apply energy-efficient coatings to reduce heat loss and utility costs.</p></div>

Q: How do you really black out windows?

• <div><p>Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result. </p></div>

Q: How can I darken my windows without curtains?

• <div><p>To darken your windows without curtains, try installing window film or even installing an awning outside your windows. Window film is a DIY-friendly option with many different darkness levels you can choose from to fit your desired look. Awnings can also help by casting shade over your window, though this isn&rsquo;t feasible for every home. </p></div>

R&D window gave by far the lowest quote, was able to schedule the next day and did an excellent cleanout of our gutters which were filled with debris. I highly recommend R&D windows for gutter cleaning.

They were prompt, pleasant, worked very quietly and efficiently... and did a great job! The only party that is unhappy with the service are the birds because they keep hitting the windows, they are that clean!

I wasn't really happy with what they did. I've had my gutters cleaned before by another company, and how they did it was to take things out by hand. This company used water from my hose to clean the gutters, and got water all over my windows, which I then had to clean. It was messy. I would not...

It was a perfect experience. One of the blinds didn't look quite right, so Jerry arrived promptly after our phone call and agreed that it needed to be corrected. It turned out that the strings were not installed properly to line up with the rest of the window. A week later, our blind was...

Excellent service. Dropped in for an estimate, with no appointment. All options were clearly explained. Decided to do the tint job right then and waited for 45 minutes. Had to return a few days later to have tint reapplied to one window due to bubbling. Quick fix was done in about 15 minutes,...

They were helpful, flexible, honest, reliable and gave me a good price. Omar took the time to educate me about the kind of window and skylights I needed. He even helped me when I was difficult about changing my mind! I will use them again.
