Can I install my own home window tinting?

• <div><p>Installing tinting on your own home windows is possible, but not recommended. It’s very easy to make mistakes that leave visible bubbles or imperfections in the protective coating. Not only does this look unprofessional and detract from your home’s curb appeal, but it also limits the usefulness of the tint and may still let sunlight and solar heat through your windows. If you attempt the application yourself and mess up, you’ll pay more for the wasted material and the labor to hire a tinting professional to fix the issues.</p></div>

Do you have to use soapy water to apply window film?

• <div><p>If your window film doesn’t come with an installation kit and its own application solution, you can make your own—but don’t use soap! Instead, use 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo mixed with a gallon of bottled water. Make sure the bucket in which you mix this solution is completely clean.</p></div>

Q: How do you modernize arched windows?

• <div><p>A common way to modernize arched windows is to install <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-do-window-treatments-cost.htm">interior window treatments</a> 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 From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they&rsquo;re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.</p></div>

Q: What energy efficiency benefits do modern windows offer?

Extreme Window Tinting was very professional from start to finish. Shawn was the installer of my solar film. He was so nice and accommodating. He was very helpful texting ETA. He did a wonderful job, answered my questions. I highly recommend this company!

Joseph took great care of my house. I was impressed that they even got the window sills. I was worried about them messing up my wooden floors but luckily they knew what they were doing and had a special tool and liquid for that.

Windows are scratched from their attempt to remove spots. They must have used a really sharp tool to do so. I have not yet called them but will do so tomorrow. Not at all happy with that part of the service.

Installed a front door with a decorative window at the top. Also installed a back door. Purchased some good quality door knobs and locks from the "door doctor" for the doors. Every thing went well, he is very prompt and professional.
