"What a wonderful experience.  I found Midwest Tinting right here on Angies list.  After the call the service man came out the following week on time and was very pleasant to deal with.  We had actually scheduled for the following Friday but the owner called and said that he had the availability to move us up one week.  What?  That's never heard of!  I was delighted. 
The two men doing the work at the office were friendly and courteous,  they were very clean and organized.  Wherever they worked they laid down cloth to make sure they weren't going to make a mess. 
After the work was done, one of the service men gave us a run down of what to do and what not to do with the newly tinted windows. 
I've got to tell you, the reviews are all correct!
Perfect communication.  The workers were right on time and plus they got me worked into the schedule 1 week early! 
I have had a great experience with Midwest Window Tinting and would not hesitate to use them again. 
Thanks Guys!

"We obtained three bids for our project.  Quality was the one we chose.  The price was competitive and we liked the professional way Robert handled our concerns regarding the details of matching the tint when he came out to give us a quote.  Joe & Luke were on-time when they came to put the tinting on the windows.  They were professional and caring about our home.  The tint is a perfect match and you would never know it went on some 5 years after the other window.  The whole experience was great and we would highly recommend Quality Glass Tinting.

"It went great! I had my son’s car windows tinted and he already had film on 2 windows but we wanted it to match. They replaced those films and tinted all windows. Acura’s have rounded windows that are hard to work with. He had the car a couple extra hours to get it perfect. He was very polite and took his time to do the job correctly. He gave great advice for cleaning products to stay away from. Lifetime warranty and did not charge extra for the extra time involved. Windows look great!!"

"The installer showed up on time and started work right away.  The installer was polite and professional and understood his work very well.  After discussing the doors and window that should be linked to the alarm, he provided advice on where the key pad should be located.  The installer also set up and explained the system to me as well.  
I docked quality, slightly, on account of the original placement of the pin pad.  The installer put it in a spot that prevented a door in my living room from fully opening.  I pointed this out to him, and the installer was kind enough to move it about 6 inches to fix the problem.  Moving left some extra drill holes in my living room wall, but that's fine as we're repainting soon.

"My home is currently under construction and has been going on a whole lot longer than it should have because of the contractor hired to do the job. Chris with Modern Marvels was recommended to me by a friend so i gave him a call to paint the exterior of my home. Him and his guys showed up quickly, were very clean and his pricing was definitely more affordable than i expected. i asked him to then drywall my home and paint it as well, it took him 2 weeks to get done more than the current contractor has in 6 months. im actually going to continue using Chris and his guys for most all other jobs i have left."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

The costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot, depending on the film type, UV protection level, and labor.

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.

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.

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.

No, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
