"Eduardo and his assistant completed a professional installation of two shades of tint to all windows in my home. He went above the call of duty by removing the blinds and brackets that had been installed by the prior owner and hauled everything away. He left my home spotless! Eduardo is a pleasure to work with."

"Showed up on time and did great work. Called in extra person once they realized how big the job was (after adding more windows on top of the original Angie's List offer) and got it done right (didn't rush through using a single person)"

"I've used Sun Dimmers to tint the windows of my last 5 cars going back to 2003. They do top quality work for fair prices. I've never had to wait long to get an appointment, and they are always done on time. The quality of the tint that they use is very high. On one of my cars there was a small bubble that appeared about a year after the tint was installed. I was picking up my wife's car when I showed them the bubble and they offered to fix it on the spot. They offer lifetime warranties on their tint and really stand behind their work. Whenever I get a new car one of the first places that I bring it is to Sun Dimmers to have the windows tinted. I will continue using them in the future."

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.

You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn’t the most aesthetically friendly.  

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.

Applying window security film yourself is possible, but we don’t recommend it. This task is simple in theory, but getting the product to sit on your windows evenly and without bubbles underneath is challenging for DIYers who lack the necessary experience and tools. You might save money on labor by applying it yourself, but you might also end up with a film that doesn’t look appealing, prompting you to start over and spend the money on a professional installation anyway. Plus, most window film manufacturers will void your warranty if you install the product yourself.

Tinted window films for houses are usually made from a micro-thin sheet of thermoplastic resin called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) that offers the strength and flexibility needed when fitting film to a window. Homeowners looking for a solution that insulates a window without blocking light from a home should investigate low-e glass vs. window film.
