"Great customer service. Took extreme care coming in and out of house so as not ding doors, walls, floors, etc. Placed mats on floor where ladders/equipment were set-up. The installation was excellent; care taken to ensure application of tint film was done properly - no bubbles, no gaps with uncovered areas of the window, etc. Very pleased with all aspects of the job. Also, the pricing was competitive with that from other quotes obtained. Aaron was professional and personable. I would absolutely recommend them!"

"Great experience from start to finish! We have an 8ft. wide bay window that faces due west. Even though it's a double paned window, the amount of heat and glare coming from that window makes our living room unbearably warm and causes our air conditioner to run constantly in order to fight the heat. Did some research on Window Films and found Carolina Solar Control - a 3M certified installer. I made an online request for contact and our Sales Rep, Susan, called within a few hours to set up an appointment. Susan was extremely helpful and knowledgable! She did a great job of explaining the various products, answered all our questions, and made great recommendations. She left us with various samples so we could view the window with film at various times of day and this allowed us to take our time and make the perfect choice. Once our decision was made, we were quickly given a quote for the work and contacted by Bethany to set up an install appointment. She was extremely helpful in answering questions we had about how to prep for installation, etc. and got us all taken care of. Rick, their installer, showed on time and was very personable, professional, and did a fantastic job! We could immediately feel and see the heat and glare reduction from the film. (We chose the Affinity 30 line.) We're thrilled with our purchase and highly recommend Carolina Solar Control!"

"Kevin and John were great! Kevin put up 2 samples for us to choose from, after he helped us narrow down choices, within 2 days of contacting him. He sent estimate immediately, we signed off on it and installation was set for 5 days later. Entire process was very efficient. Great customer service!"

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

To darken your windows without curtains, try installing window film or even installing an awning outside your windows. Window film is a DIY-friendly option with many different darkness levels you can choose from to fit your desired look. Awnings can also help by casting shade over your window, though this isn’t feasible for every home. 

Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result.  

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 average cost for home window tinting is around $600, with most homeowners paying between $150 and $1,600. Costs can also be calculated per square foot, typically ranging from $2 to $100, or per window at around $75 each. For example, tinting one or two windows might cost between $200 and $350, while a larger project of 13 to 15 windows could range from $4,124 to $4,747.

Several factors influence the total project cost, with the number and size of the windows being the most significant. Other key factors include the type, shade, and quality of the tint film, as well as labor costs. Additional treatments, such as low-emissivity (low-E) coatings, can also increase material costs.

Window tinting offers several benefits, such as making your home more energy-efficient by blocking harsh sunlight, protecting furniture from fading, and increasing privacy. For this reason, many homeowners choose to tint only the windows in specific areas where direct sunlight and privacy are primary concerns.

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.
