"The window tinting looks amazing and solved our problem! Our son's room stays nice and dark while still being able to see the trees outside. Excel Window Tinting is fantastic! I highly recommend using this company for all of your tinting needs."

"SunControl was great to work with! Very respectful of me and my house and cleaned up when they were done. I had them do both window tinting and blinds. Although it wasn't a large job, I was treated as though it was. I would definitely use them again."

"I hired Fox Window Tints to remove and replace the window tint in my master bathroom. When they arrived they quickly realized the old adhesive was very strong and a huge pain to remove. Despite this, the team kept a very positive attitude and very diligently removed every piece of pesky old window tint. I love the end result and will definitely hire them again! Thank you!"

"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."

"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!"

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Solar screens reduce glare and block UV rays, which may slightly dim natural light and alter the view from inside. However, most homeowners find the trade-off worthwhile for improved comfort and energy savings. The impact depends on the screen’s color and density, with darker screens blocking more light but providing enhanced glare reduction and privacy.

Whether window film is better depends on individual preferences and specific needs. In some instances, window film can be much less costly to install. Aesthetics is also a deciding factor. Window film may have a more significant appeal for design minimalists looking for a clean and streamlined look without the heaviness that comes with curtains. On the flip side, they can also appeal to design maximalists looking for creative expression in the form of color, patterns, and texture. Choosing between window film and traditional window coverings depends on factors like desired functionality, aesthetics, and personal preferences.

Your homeowners insurance provider may decrease your premium if you improve the security of your home with window security film. You can contact your insurer to determine whether there will be a change in cost after applying this addition. If there is a decrease in your homeowners insurance premium or deductible, it will likely only be available if your window film is installed by a professional window film installer.

One drawback is that window film can reduce the amount of natural light entering a room, particularly if you opt for a darker or more opaque film. Additionally, if not installed properly, window film may develop air bubbles or wrinkles, affecting its appearance. Over time, certain types of window film may also experience discoloration or peeling. Moreover, certain window films can interfere with wireless signals, such as Wi-Fi or cellular reception. Careful consideration of these potential drawbacks is essential when deciding whether window film is the right choice for your home.

You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn’t the most aesthetically friendly.
