"[Member Name Removed] thanks for the great review. We really appreciate it. I see you gave us a "B" on price which is fair. We know we are not the cheapest. In the past we've thought about ways to get our prices down but the only options would be to use cheaper films or hire less qualified installers and those are not really options we would seriously consider. We want to offer the best products and service and hopefully we gave you great value for money. Thanks again."
"[member name removed] I'm sorry you have been disappointed in the film. We did actually come out to your home after we spoke a couple of months ago and did a quick energy audit from outside. What we discovered was that the windows we tinted are not where the heat is coming into your home. As you know we tinted bedroom windows on the East side above your garage which are at the highest point in the home. These windows are now performing as they should according to the thermal images we captured from the outside. The film has reduced the heat coming through those windows by 70%. However, we discovered that the rest of the windows on the lower levels of the house are allowing heat through the glass which is then presumably rising into the bedrooms on the upper level. In addition I think the ceiling insulation between the garage and the bedrooms could be checked. The ceiling and wall insulation in homes built in the 1960's will sometimes get compacted and lose effectiveness. As a company we have now installed hundreds of thousands of square feet of film and we have never had a disappointed customer before. We will be attempting to contact you again to look at the results of our findings. I know you and Mike played phone tag when trying to set up a time. If you are still unhappy we will offer to remove the film and give you a full refund."
I realized that the darker tint that I had purchased was just too dark for me. They came out immediately to remove the film and install a lighter tint at no charge. I am very pleased with the film now and would certainly recommend this company.
I would definitely recommend Scottish Window Tinting and will be using them in the near future for some additional windows on the upstairs of our house.
And I agreed to the cost and service ahead of time with no surprises.
I wish the service would cost a bit less. We have a lot of windows, so the square footage of windows covered in the deal was not even close to the number of windows we have, so there was quite a bit extra that we added on at the higher cost.
After we had the top set done we could instantly tell a huge difference in heat in our living room since our home has a two story living room area and the top windows have no blinds or coverings. While our lower windows have blinds we could still tell a big difference and we are able to keep them open and let in all that beautiful natural light without having tons of heat pour in as well.
We went with the 70% reduction (the highest and the darkest film) Honestly you can only tell they are tinted in the evenings because they are a little reflective so I'd recommend going with the darkest film to cut the most heat and see the most difference. It sounds a bit scary and it looks dark but once its on the windows its hardly noticeable even when next to others that aren't tinted. The difference in the hot bedroom is dramatic, we never opened the wood blinds but the heat would still come in and be trapped between the window and the blinds. That room has two small west facing windows and one larger 4-pane south facing window.
When I bought the Angie's List Deal I didn't expect Scottish Window Tinting to contact me the next day and get something scheduled asap that was exciting! They came out and measured our windows (we already knew we wanted the matching film) they worked with me to get everything we wanted done within our budget. I had them measure a bunch of different windows and then we ended up taking the north facing ones out of the quote. We also had them give us a quote for the sliding glass patio door which we will do at a later date. We ended up purchasing more than the deal was for and that was charged at $9 a square foot (which is cheaper than their regular pricing) All in all it was a great deal and again everyone from the sales guys to the installers were super professional, courteous, kind and amazing to work with. In our bedroom we had lots of furniture they had to work around / climb on because we couldn't move the bed anywhere and they were really sweet about it and took extra care with the furniture. We recommend them to our friends and family all the time because they are a really great company and take care of their clients.
We can't wait to have them do more windows and the sliding door in the future so if you are on the fence just do it, you'll be glad you did!
