"We needed a repair to a window that had cracked. We thought the only option was to replace the whole window. We received several quotes and because of the size of the window the quotes were over $1000.00. My husband found glass.com on Home Adviser and within minutes they replied to his request. They had someone out to measure within a day and then that same day had the quote to us for under $300.00! The repairman came today and was 10 minutes early and within an hour had the window glass replaced! I would highly recommend glass.com for any window repairs you need. Very reputable company!"

"I can't put into words how refreshing it was dealing with this company.  I had a late night emergency after heavy snow fell in my area.  The awning on the 2nd floor of a 3-flat I own got crushed by the snow and ripped out of the brick.  Basically it was hanging there and about to either break the glass of the second floor apartment, or fall off the building and do even more damage.  It was about 11pm on a Friday night and I started calling any company I could that said they had "emergency services."  However, most of them sounded like I was waking them up or disturbing them.  Finally, I found Busy Bee on the internet and gave them a call.  The man that answered at about 12am (I'm sorry I forgot his name) sounded wide awake and completely professional.  He told me he'd have someone out within a half hour or so and he actually did!  Although the job was too big for the single tech that was on call at the time (it was a large awning on the second floor), the tech still went up there to make sure that the awning was strong enough to at least make it to the morning.  The man I had spoken with earlier called me back and assured me he'd have 2 guys out there in the morning to take it down altogether for me.  Sure enough, he followed through and had it taken down.  The amazing part in my mind is that not only did they have outstanding customer service, but they didn't make me pay a crazy price for using their emergency service and then sending two guys.  I thought the $250 they billed me was extremely fair.  I can't count the number of times I've been utterly disappointed dealing with companies during an emergency situation.  These guys were incredibly helpful.  It was a refreshing experience to say the least and I'd without a doubt recommend these guys!"

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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 visibility through tinted house windows depends on the lighting. During the day, when it is brighter outside, privacy film prevents people from seeing into your home. However, this effect reverses at night. If you have lights on inside, it becomes brighter indoors than outdoors, allowing people to see inside. To optimize privacy, you can select from various shades of film, ranging from lighter to darker, which affects how much is visible from the outside.

Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result.  

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!

Home window tinting is generally considered a worthwhile investment due to its numerous benefits. The primary advantages include:

  • Energy Efficiency: Tinting reduces solar heat gain, which lowers cooling costs in warmer months. It can also help retain heat during cooler months, leading to savings on your electric bill that may eventually exceed the initial cost of the tinting.

  • UV Protection: It blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your family and pets from sun damage. This also prevents fading and extends the life of your furniture, flooring, and other interior furnishings.

  • Increased Comfort: By regulating heat, window tinting helps maintain a more comfortable and even temperature throughout your home. It also reduces glare on TVs and other electronic screens.

  • Enhanced Privacy and Security: Tinting makes it more difficult for outsiders to see into your home. Additionally, certain types of window films can increase security by helping the glass withstand trauma from break-in attempts or severe weather.

It's important to note that not all window tints offer the same combination of benefits. For example, security films are designed for impact resistance but may offer less UV protection, while ceramic tints excel at blocking heat and UV rays but do not provide the same level of security.
