"We had a great experience with Bob at Arctic Window Tinting in having our first floor windows tinted. He helped us pick the correct tinting for our needs and was extremely informative. Install went fantastic with great communication and we now notice a big difference in cooling and glare reduction in the house. One minor issue popped up during the install but Bob fixed it and handled it very quickly. Very happy!"

"I had to install the system and call on line support for help. The instructions were vague. I had a lot of problems with installing the door and window sensors even with online help. The literature that was received also was not helpful. I need an instruction manual!"

"Ace Handyman Window Division, Inc., was wonderful to work with. Richard was always available to answer questions and make any changes or suggestions we had. Ace Handyman repaired or replaced soffits and fascia and wrapped the entire house. He always followed up with his workers to ensure they were doing the best work possible. Richard was also resourceful in providing a tile man to replace broken tiles in the foyer and kitchen. I especially appreciated the way Richard worked within my budget and completed the job within the proposed timeframe. I definitely would recommend Ace Handyman Window Division, Inc. to anyone needing handyman services."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’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.

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are the most energy-efficient and insulating window treatments. Their honeycomb structure is made of soft fabric that forms layered cell pockets. These pockets trap air, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in the winter and blocks heat gain in the summer. For even greater insulation, consider double- or triple-cell varieties. Side-tracked cellular shades, which seal the edges of the window frame, can further minimize air leaks and maximize energy efficiency.

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.

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. 

Costs depend on window size, film quality, UV protection level, and installation complexity.
