"We called Mike Lavery at Excel Window tinting, after reviewing providers on Angie's list. Mike promptly returned our call and scheduled an appointment at our convenience. During the appointment, Mike removed the tinting from one pane, so we could compare the color and degree of tinting among the various options available. Mike explained the cost versus performance versus appearance of the various films, and we narrowed the choices to three during his visit. Mike left samples and literature behind, so my wife and I could continue to evaluate them under different daylight conditions. Within a couple of days Mike provided a clearly written detailed quote, and we selected the film, and scheduled installation time and date. Mike and his assistant arrived right on time, and over the course of six hours installed tinting on 18 separate windows, some of which required a ladder to access. They thoroughly removed all the old film first, and did a great job of cleaning up all the little chips of old film (which have a tendency to stick to whatever they land on). Mike and his assistant worked quietly and efficiently, and did a great job on the installation. We even added a storm door window to the installation while Mike was here, after he explained the pros and cons of tinting this type of window. Timely, efficient, informative, quality installation, clean and quiet. And Mike really took the time to explain options and to make sure we selected a film we would be happy with - color, opacity, durability. We are very pleased with the work Excel Window tinting performed."

"They worked with us to figure out how to reach a tall window that had a large piece of furniture in front of it. They were on time and cleaned up after they were finished. They were efficient and personable. I would recommend them."

"The handyman, Paul, was punctual, professional and did quality work. He replaced the small section of my wood soffit that had water damage with new wood, painted it and caulked. He cleaned up the area when he was done. Paul also re-secured several of my window shutters that had loose screws. He spray painted the screw caps to match the color of my shutters."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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.

Expert installation optimizes insulation properties, cutting energy costs and enhancing home comfort year-round.

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.

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!

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number and size of windows.
