"Midwest arrived on time and 2 men did the job. It took them about 4 hours to complete the task of removing the old tint, clean the window and area, then apply the new window tint. Of course our windows are larger than normal windows that you see in most houses. Our windows run (73" x 73"), they are considered custom windows, because they run so large. However Midwest did a superior job installing our window tint. They didn't leave any seams in the middle of our window tint. Which is great. Our tint carries a warranty, which we are very happy with. The men who did the installation, applied the window tint to 6 windows and they cleaned up all of they mess. They didn't leave any dirt behind for us to deal with and I was very happy to see that happen. Normally, when someone installs something in your home, any mess they make, they expect the homeowner to clean it up, but that isn't the case with Midwest. Their installers clean up after themselves. Personally, I appreciate it. We will use Midwest in the future and refer them to friends & family. We love the look of the windows with the new tint on them. They really make a big difference when the sun is shinning on them. They really cut down on the amount of UV rays and the extra heat which does not pass through amymore. The window tint helps with our cooling (air conditioning) bills. We know Midwest saved us money and gave us a great price on our new window tint. They did a terrific job and we are very happy with the windows. The installation was easy and we didn't have any problems.

"The owner Daniel was top-notch! Very professional, courteous and clean. I had tinted window film applied and he did an exceptional job. Iâ ve never had window tint film installed before so wasnâ t sure of the process. Daniel was super knowledgeable and reassured me thru the process. Had no idea I would love it this much. The rear of my house gets direct sunlight and itâ s super hot inside. I 1000% can tell a huge difference and itâ s sooo much cooler inside. Definitely will recommend!"

"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!!"

"Everything went perfectly. Jeremy was fantastic at explaining the process and keeping us updated with the installation. We purchased an Angies list package and we needed an extra window sensor over what was offered in the package. Jeremy went above and beyond and just threw in the extra window sensor without batting an eye."

"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

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are the most energy-efficient and insulating window treatments. Their honeycomb structure is made of soft fabric that forms layered cell pockets. These pockets trap air, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in the winter and blocks heat gain in the summer. For even greater insulation, consider double- or triple-cell varieties. Side-tracked cellular shades, which seal the edges of the window frame, can further minimize air leaks and maximize energy efficiency.

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.

Most window installation and repair companies can handle putting tint film over your existing windows, but it’s best to hire a company that specializes in window tinting. This decision will result in the best application for the cleanest look, and it usually means you’ll get a better professional opinion about the type of tint and tint level that makes the most sense for your home and personal preferences.

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!

To darken your windows without curtains, try installing window film or even installing an awning outside your windows. Window film is a DIY-friendly option with many different darkness levels you can choose from to fit your desired look. Awnings can also help by casting shade over your window, though this isn’t feasible for every home.
