"I recently contacted Gotcha Covered of Fairfield to order and hang blinds in my new condo. Joe N. came out and measured the windows to be covered. He then explained the different types of blinds, their materials, and how they worked. In a couple of weeks the blinds arrived and Joe arranged for the "technician" to come to hang them. The blinds look beautiful. I love them. I have white in the kitchen, and bath. Then I have brown wooden ones in the family room. The blinds completed the look I wanted. Joe is professional and knowledgeable .I highly recommend Gotcha Covered"

"Company very responsive. Was able to come right away to see what needed to be done. As they worked, unfortunately one replacement window pane broke. They immediately returned to their store and returned later the same day with more glass, which was installed without incident."
"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.
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.
The lifespan of window tinting depends on several factors, but a high-quality, professionally applied tint can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years, with premium tints lasting at least 15 to 20 years. Key factors influencing longevity include the quality of the film, the professionalism of the installation, and the type of window. Some companies offer lifetime warranties, while others may only provide a one-year warranty or none at all, so it's wise to verify this with your service provider. To prolong the film's life, clean it gently with a microfiber towel and mild cleaning solutions. Avoid harsh, abrasive, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners, as well as sharp tools or scrubbers, which can damage the surface.
Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.
