"Susan did a great job with her recommendations of colors for our blinds. The installer came on time and finished the job quickly. It was a little pricey but the room looks great with our new blinds."

"Hired to weed , mulch and edge beds. Found out he also did painting so I asked him to do an exterior painting and repair project. Did both jobs simultaneously and I was happy with both. I will call him again when the need arises."

"Arctic Window Tinting did a fantastic job. Bob was very responsive to our emails and telephone calls. He came out and looked at what we wanted to do. Then he showed use different products and told us the different ratings. Once we decided on the product he was able to schedule the installation (Tuesday) and 2 days later the film was up (Thursday). He even added two additional windows to my order the evening before they were to perform the service. Mike installed the window film. He was prompt and extremely professional. If you are looking to add window film (for privacy, heat reduction, and/or preventing harmful UV rays) then give them a call. You will not be disappointed!"

"It went well with A-PLUS Window Tinting. They were very easy to work with and did a nice job. They did a good job. I thought they were very reasonable because it was a lot of work. It's a  lot of window, if I couldn't have that I'd probably get them all replaced so you can see how much money it saved us if you think about it. It was four sliders, two skylights and then four other windows. It was a lot of work. They did a nice job and it come with a nice warranty. They said they would come out and fix it but I haven't had them come out and fix anything so it's good. I wouldn't hesitate to have them come back."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Applying window security film yourself is possible, but we don’t recommend it. This task is simple in theory, but getting the product to sit on your windows evenly and without bubbles underneath is challenging for DIYers who lack the necessary experience and tools. You might save money on labor by applying it yourself, but you might also end up with a film that doesn’t look appealing, prompting you to start over and spend the money on a professional installation anyway. Plus, most window film manufacturers will void your warranty if you install the product yourself.

While it is possible to install home window tint yourself, it is a challenging task that is often best left to professionals. The process can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring steady hands and a great deal of patience, especially for a first-time installer.

Common mistakes in DIY applications include visible bubbles, imperfections, and film that either hangs over the edges or doesn't fully cover the glass. These errors not only look unprofessional and detract from your home's curb appeal but can also reduce the tint's effectiveness in blocking sunlight and heat. If you have struggled with applying protective films to smaller items like phones or tablets, you may find this task particularly difficult.

Attempting the installation yourself and making a mistake can lead to wasted material and the additional cost of hiring a professional to fix the issues or redo the job. Although hiring a professional involves labor costs, it typically guarantees a high-quality, seamless appearance and saves you from having to do the work over again.

Do not use Windex or any glass cleaner when applying window film. These products contain ammonia, which will damage the film. Instead, use the application solution provided with the installation kit. If there is no solution, make your own using 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo and a gallon of bottled water.

A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.

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.
