Sharing my experience working with Beat the Heat Tint and Ridge for those considering them for services or partnerships. I originally reached out with interest in ceramic tint and a possible business collaboration. After missing our first appointment (which I fully owned and apologized for), I made multiple respectful attempts to reconnect and move the conversation forward. Instead of addressing the original conversation, the discussion shifted toward unrelated job offers, and clear answers about the original inquiry were never given. When I asked about payment flexibility or referral options, I was met with abrupt shutdowns rather than collaboration or professional follow-up. I’m sharing this to encourage anyone considering doing business here to set very clear expectations up front and be prepared for potential miscommunication. Screenshots of the communication thread are available below for transparency. I believe in giving credit where it’s due — and being honest when professionalism falls short. Update. After I notified the owner about posting my original review, he reached out multiple times. I appreciate that he expressed being busy and preferring phone communication. However, the documented communication history, including texts and time-stamped screenshots, speaks for itself. I want to clarify: I was never seeking "freebies." I was offering a professional opportunity to collaborate based on mutual business value. Despite my efforts to accommodate scheduling and communicate respectfully, the overall tone of the interaction remained cold, dismissive, and rigid — not conducive to building trust or business. I stand by my experience and original review. I hope future interactions with Beat the Heat Tint involve clearer, more respectful communication. I wish them the best moving forward. Further Update: After my initial review, I received multiple communications from the business owner that included attempts to pressure me into removing my review. I stand by my review and have documented my experience factually and respectfully.
Description of Work: I reached out to Beat the Heat Tint (owner Ridge Druilhet) to discuss ceramic tinting and a potential referral partnership. After I missed our first appointment and immediately apologized, I offered a flexible window of roughly 10 AM—give or take a bit—to accommodate us both. Mr. Druilhet countered with only 9 AM or 1 PM, and when I asked if a time around 10 AM (slightly earlier or later) would work, he waited hours to reply with a flat “No” and never suggested another suitable slot. I then posted a detailed Google review—complete with screenshots and timestamps—documenting our entire exchange. Mr. Druilhet contacted me afterward, falsely accusing me of seeking “freebies” and pressuring me to remove my honest review, even threatening to damage my reputation if I didn’t comply. His tone throughout was cold, dismissive, and entirely unprofessional. While I can’t speak to the tint quality, I cannot recommend a business whose owner refuses to communicate respectfully or honor simple scheduling agreements. For anyone who’d like full context, the complete communication record is available upon request.

Response from Beat the Heat
You reached out expecting free or heavily discounted car tinting because you are an uber driver. Instead of outright declining your request we attempted to set up a discussion, you failed to show up for the meeting the first time. The second time you called while I was on a plane and become unreasonable because you felt that you were “blocked”. This was not the case. When attempting to set up the 3rd appointment when you were told we could not accommodate and very specific time and date, your response was to post this review. We didn’t owe you any of our time to even discuss discounts, but we keep and open mind. Your expectations are unrealistic, and your attempt to hurt us will only make us stronger.

Beat the heat team went above and beyond tinting my house. They provided several options and did not use any sales/pressure tactics into getting my business. I am very pleased with the results and plan on using them for all of my home and auto tinting needs.

Uhh.. AMAZING! idk how we ever lived without tinted windows before! We noticed an immediate difference, not only in the temperature of the house, but the glare from the TV and the natural light in our home. The service was super professional and the work was done in a timely manner. I feel bad for homes without tint on their windows now. Every home in south Texas needs to contact Ridge and his team!

Outstanding service. Trust gained --left installer team with keys to my property while I was out of town and they did a phenomenal job. All windows completely tented. Helped source my window blinds installation as well and even helped replace an old window I had during window tint installation wothin 3 days --that speaks volume and will gladly rehire this team for the next property I can get and window tint project. US Veteran owned business. Very highly recommend. Superb service. You cannot lose the quality and customer service support.

Ridge and the Beat The Heat Team were great. We needed privacy due to all our windows and also wanted to reduce the heat coming in. The difference inside the house is so noticeable especially on the sides where the sun sets when it’s the hottest. Great investment for our home.

I was beyond impressed at how great my windows turned out. On the outside the tint has a cool mirrored like effect that positively adds to the aesthetic of my home. Additionally, and most importantly, I'm able to leave blinds up at all hours of the day without a worry that anyone can look inside.

Beat the Heat home window tinting company exceeded our expectations and more. They recently tinted our windows in our Destination Cottage and we couldn’t be happier. Their customer service is top notch and you will be amazed on how the finish product turns out perfect. I shopped around for different prices and you can’t go wrong with this company. Give them a call for your home and business window tinting needs before the summer heat sets in. You will not be disappointed!

Noticed an instant difference in heat reduction and sun light coming into the house. Definitely recommend them for home window tinting.
