"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."

"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."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Yes, with special treatments that help repel water spots and grime build-up.

If your window film doesn’t come with an installation kit and its own application solution, you can make your own—but don’t use soap! Instead, use 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo mixed with a gallon of bottled water. Make sure the bucket in which you mix this solution is completely clean.

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.

Window security film has a few key benefits that make it an enticing home improvement:

  • It’s much more affordable than shatterproof windows or hurricane windows.

  • It improves your home’s energy efficiency and can save money on heating and cooling bills.

  • It makes it harder to break into your home.

  • It helps prevent dangerous shattered glass after an impact.

  • You can tint it to provide additional protection from the sunlight.

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.
