"For the past 3 weeks I have had 1 window per week broken in my condo building by neighborhood troublemakers.  Each time I called Steve at Busy Bee in the middle of the night and he sent his workers out to board up the broken windows.  They arrived every time within 1 hour of my call.  Always very professional and competent in their work, they did some little extras like sweeping up small pieces of glass from the sidewalk before leaving.  I hope I won't have to keep having windows boarded up, but if I do, I am confident that Busy Bee will be there to protect the security of my home.

FAQs for window tinting projects in Thornton, IL

It is possible to tint your house windows yourself, but hiring a professional window tinter is usually best. Window tint is relatively easy to apply, but getting a clean application that looks seamless is challenging. It’s easy to end up with a tint film that hangs over the edges of your glass or falls short of it, and without experience and the proper tools, you could end up with unsightly bubbles. Hiring a professional to tint your windows adds labor costs, but you’ll receive a high-quality tint appearance and not have to redo it.

The average cost to tint your home windows is around $600 or around $75 per window. However, it’s not uncommon for prices to range from $150 to $1,600. Your total project cost will depend on the amount and size of the windows. Window tinting can help make your home more energy efficient by blocking harsh sunlight, protect your furniture from fading, and create more privacy for your household.

Consider other essential cost factors, including the following:

  • Shade and quality of the tint

  • Type of tint 

  • Labor cost of hiring window tinter

A 35% tint is the most popular for home windows. This level is significantly darker than the legal tint limit for car windows—usually around 70%. At 35% tint, more than half of the incoming light is blocked. This tint percentage still allows for plenty of natural light to fill your space while drastically improving your home’s energy efficiency and comfort in your living space. If you hire a professional to tint your windows, they usually bring screens to show you what different tints will look like to make it easier to choose what’s right for your home.

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.

Most homeowners find that hiring a professional window tinter to tint their house windows is well worth the investment, as there are several key benefits that home window tint offers. These include the following:

  • Reduced UV light, meaning less fading of furniture and flooring

  • Improved home energy efficiency, lowering electric bills

  • Improved privacy

  • More comfortable and even temperature in your living area

  • Reduces glare on screens on TVs and other electronics
