"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!"

"Susan Burke responded to my inquiry on Boxing Day, met me the following day for measurements and discuss film option then sent quotes within a few hours that were within reason and price range. Bethany Rudy followed up to schedule installation immediately thereafter and was kind enough to get us scheduled during the holiday week while I was off work. The installer (I believe Jeremiah) was punctual, professional and expeditious. It took less than an hour on a very large elevated window. The entire team was courteous, prompt, efficient and professional. Highly recommend."

"John Ross installed ceramic window tint in all my windows. The house seems cooler. Be aware when they quote $50 per window, it means one pane. If you have double pane windows, that cost $100 per window. John was friendly and did a great job."

"About as smoothly as anything can go. They did a wonderful job. Jonathan who is the owner was there the entire time from the job was quoted to the time the last window was finished. His crew is very experienced and was very professional and courteous. I thought this was a good experience and I will use them again. The best part was that his price came and 20% less than everyone else but the quality was still excellent.

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Some frosted glass sprays can handle the outdoors, but most of them aren't built for it. Sprays made for exterior use will say so clearly on the label. Anything marked “interior use only” can't hold up against rain, UV exposure, or changing temperatures without peeling, fading, or yellowing. Outdoor-rated sprays are typically more durable, but even then, proper prep and application matter. Before spraying anything outside, double-check the product instructions. If it doesn’t specifically mention exterior use, skip it. 

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.

Yes, most professional-grade window films include warranties covering fading, peeling, and bubbling.
