Q: What’s the most cost-effective way to insulate windows?

• <div><p>If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don&rsquo;t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.</p></div>

Q: Can I apply window tint myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional application ensures even adhesion, bubble-free results, and longer-lasting performance.</p></div>

The quote I received was for $36,456, which works out to be more than $1,700 per window--an absolutely ridiculous price, and I brought out a flyer from a competitor advertising replacements at $209 each to prove that. I was also told the $36,000+ price is actually a 'good deal' because Renewal...
