"Daniel was awesome throughout the entire process. He was extremely responsive from the beginning, and he was even willing to work my project into an open window of time he had coming up in a couple of days. Not only that, he reached out right away to let me know about some scope changes he recommended for my project; these turned out to be exactly what we needed and saved us a potential future headache. Daniel and his team were very timely in showing up, and actually came a bit early to assess any additional supply needs, which they procured in time to get the project started by the originally agreed time. We are extremely happy with the work and the overall professionalism. My family and I are already discussing additional projects we will be reaching out to Daniel to help us with. Best-Handyman-Ever. Do yourself a favor and give him a call!"

"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!"

"Next Door and Window easily exceeded my expectations. We had a front door and sidelight replacement and a Bay window replacement. The removal was done with great care and the new installation was seamless. Both the window and door crew's were neat, speedy and obviously experienced. I would highly recommend them."

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.

Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.

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.

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!
