"I appreciated that a sales representative came to my to see the project, measure, and explain the process. The technician that applied the film was very exact, and when he wasn't satisfied with the application, he removed the film and reapplied a new film."
"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
"My husband noticed we had a hole in our roof earlier in the week. He was out of town for the week and did not have a chance to call anyone before he left. Today it was raining and started to leak into the family room. I called Mike and he was here within the hour. It was fixed within an hour at a reasonable rate. Will definitely be using him again. Very professional and personable. Thank you so much for solving my problem. "

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.
