"SWS tinted the windows on both of our current cars. The second one was done 3 years ago, and what impressed me the most was how Virgil handled a problem that came up 3 years later: 5 stars across the board for Superior Window Solutions (SWS)! They have competitive prices, install quality window films, and most importantly, they stand behind their work and take care of their customers after the sale. In my case…long after the sale. In 2013 we decided to tint the windows on my wife’s new Civic, we chose SWS. Virgil Ryan, the owner, had promptly returned my phone calls and had taken the time to answer all of my questions. Their pricing was competitive, scheduling was easy, and the installation was first-rate; a great experience. In 2015 SWS tinted the windows on my new Lexus and I had the same great experience. As I had with the Civic, I chose a darker tint for the 3 rear windows, and a lighter shade for the 2 in front. Almost three years had gone by when I recently noticed that an edge of the tint on the driver’s window of the Lexus had come loose. I called Virgil, and his response was simple and direct; “We’ll take care of it.” When I brought my car in, Virgil and his installer Jose determined that there was a flaw in the film itself. When they pulled some new film from their stock they noticed that the original tint had also darkened considerably, so the new film for the driver’s window was not going to match the existing film on the front passenger side. Virgil solved that problem quickly, saying “We’ll replace the tint on both front windows”. For a successful tint job, an installer needs to have a great deal of patience and attention to detail, and Jose took great care to ensure that everything was perfect in replacing the tinting on both windows. Too many companies today seem to have lost sight of the fact that if you don’t take care of your customers, your chance for a customer’s repeat business is minimal. However, if you do take care of them, they will come back. It’s that simple. Virgil’s proactive approach to SWS’s customer service, and his ability to see things from the customer's perspective has made me a customer for life, and I heartily recommend his company. PS: An insider tip. As someone who ran customer service programs for many years, my best advice for consumers seeking service, especially for something that is technically “out of warranty” is to first just simply ask nicely if anything can be done. Business owners and their employees are people too, and if you treat them the way you would like to be treated, you never know what kind of good things may happen. Conversely, if from the beginning you go in making threats and over-the-top demands, you seriously reduce your chances of getting any kind of satisfaction."

"Jaymi was just great! Explained what I wanted to do with my west facing windows. I needed to block out a A/C unit that was a eye sore that was on my patio. She showed some sample of frosted tint to choose from, I picked what I liked and she took over. LOVE the finished product!"

"We actually needed a poor tinting to be removed from a living room window.  These folks did a great job, they were fast, curtious and neat.  No heavy sell for for tinting, but if we did decide to re-tint the window or any others in the house, I would definitely call Tint San Diego again.

"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 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.

While you need heat to peel back window film, the tint will often leave behind adhesive residue. You can use chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove the residue, though hardware stores sell specialized solutions for this purpose as well. You can also use soapy water in a pinch!

While it is possible to install home window tint yourself, it is a challenging task that is often best left to professionals. The process can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring steady hands and a great deal of patience, especially for a first-time installer.

Common mistakes in DIY applications include visible bubbles, imperfections, and film that either hangs over the edges or doesn't fully cover the glass. These errors not only look unprofessional and detract from your home's curb appeal but can also reduce the tint's effectiveness in blocking sunlight and heat. If you have struggled with applying protective films to smaller items like phones or tablets, you may find this task particularly difficult.

Attempting the installation yourself and making a mistake can lead to wasted material and the additional cost of hiring a professional to fix the issues or redo the job. Although hiring a professional involves labor costs, it typically guarantees a high-quality, seamless appearance and saves you from having to do the work over again.

One drawback is that window film can reduce the amount of natural light entering a room, particularly if you opt for a darker or more opaque film. Additionally, if not installed properly, window film may develop air bubbles or wrinkles, affecting its appearance. Over time, certain types of window film may also experience discoloration or peeling. Moreover, certain window films can interfere with wireless signals, such as Wi-Fi or cellular reception. Careful consideration of these potential drawbacks is essential when deciding whether window film is the right choice for your home.

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.
