I quickly was able to have someone come out to assess the job and measure the door. I was impressed that he immediately knew it was a Pella door and pointed out that the construction made replacing the glass easier than with some other Pella models. The glass had to be ordered, which was...
A small but effective operation. They removed my old film and had three options to select to replace it, which progressed to a high-quality film. I selected the best tint they offered and was very pleased. They took the time to determine the state my car would be in to ensure the tint I...
Darrin came to our home for an estimate. He spent a great deal of time educating us to the options, process and pricing. He even installed pieces of three different window films on one of the windows so we could see the difference. He quoted all three and told us we needn't decide until...
Clear View Window TintingI had not planned on replacing the carpeting right away in my new house until I saw just how bad of shape it was in when the previous owner had her stuff out. I was moving in the following week and asked how quickly they could do an order hoping they could do the bedroom carpeting before I...
Expensive, but worth it. Arrived on time, did great work, careful, and, in the case of a window sealed shut by old paint, creative solution to problem. When confronted by nasty film applied by previous owner on upstairs windows, went way above and beyond to resolve problem. Great...
This review will cover two separate repairs. The first had the estimator show up exactly on schedule, up on the roof, and returning to me with an estimate in hand. I agreed and an appointment was set. Again, the crew arrived right on time. They set up their equipment and began their task....

"Excellent, excellent, excellent service. It's stunning these days to have a transaction with a company which is stress free. Add to that the extremely reasonable pricing, stellar and regular communication, and perfect execution, how could I not write a review? I had to have my old film replaced after 17 years. The original company quoted a price that was out of our ballpark. I thought I'd have to live with really awful looking windows with the old scratched and disintegrated film. I was kinda bummed. On a whim I did a search, not expecting to find much help. I contacted Clear View, and they responded quickly, came out to evaluate, explained it wasn't just the look but the actual functionality of the film which was compromised. Then he created a proposal with the best products for my needs. He didn't try and oversell. He didn't price gouge. And for twice the amount of work as the first company had quoted for, he gave me a quote a few hundred dollars less. Then he communicated consistently and thoroughly every step of the way. The person who did the work was prompt, quick, and had excellent skills. Put up with the menagerie here, too. Then there was follow up! To make sure I knew how to care for the windows properly. To make sure I was satisfied. To let me know the warranty had been submitted. All along, interactions were businesslike but very friendly, easy going, and oh so responsive. Thank you for making this a business transaction that stands out in my mind for all the very best reasons. You made such a difference by making this stress free, fair, and customer focused."

"I quickly was able to have someone come out to assess the job and measure the door. I was impressed that he immediately knew it was a Pella door and pointed out that the construction made replacing the glass easier than with some other Pella models. The glass had to be ordered, which was estimated to take about 2 weeks, but took closer to 4--possibly due to holiday season. Wasn't a problem for us, and the replacement work was done professionally, with clean up of all materials and even replacement of the decorative film over the glass. Would definitely hire again."

"Never again! I ordered my “rain” glass for my door in March of 2023. They said it would be 4 to 6 weeks. When they came to install they took out my clear glass and installed basically the same same glass…clear. They had to order the correct “rain” glass. After again a 6 week wait the glass was defective and had to once again be reordered. Long story short in July, 2023 I finally received the correct “rain” glass. My door was damaged from taking out the glass multiple times. When the installer left he specifically asked if it was okay to charge the balance to my card on file. I told him it was not and I wanted the talk with the girl in the office that I had been dealing with and asked him to have her call me. She did not and charged my card. I called her and asked if I could receive a discount and was told she would have to talk with the owners. I received a call back saying that since the order was finally satisfied no discount would be applied. 4 months later…longest 6 weeks ever! They could have thrown me a bone for waiting patiently on their screw ups, but did not. Customer service is not their forte."

"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

The average cost for window security film is around $7 per square foot or $42 per window. However, your total could range from $3 to $15 per square foot or $18 to $90 per window. The cost depends on the square footage of your window, the thickness and quality of the security film, the number of windows, and the type of windows.
Hurricane window film costs about $350 for a 75-foot roll, which can cover about 10 average-sized windows. This film can help prevent window shattering during extremely high winds, but it’s not impact-resistant like storm windows.
Your homeowners insurance provider may decrease your premium if you improve the security of your home with window security film. You can contact your insurer to determine whether there will be a change in cost after applying this addition. If there is a decrease in your homeowners insurance premium or deductible, it will likely only be available if your window film is installed by a professional window film installer.
Window security film won’t prevent break-ins or stop your window from shattering from impact during extreme weather like hurricanes or tornadoes. However, applying security film is relatively inexpensive, and it can make breaking into your home significantly harder—often hard enough to deter burglars entirely—and keep your window from shattering on your floor after impact. For these reasons, window security film is often a worthwhile investment that helps protect your property.
Window security film has a few key benefits that make it an enticing home improvement:
It’s much more affordable than shatterproof windows or hurricane windows.
It improves your home’s energy efficiency and can save money on heating and cooling bills.
It makes it harder to break into your home.
It helps prevent dangerous shattered glass after an impact.
You can tint it to provide additional protection from the sunlight.
Applying window security film yourself is possible, but we don’t recommend it. This task is simple in theory, but getting the product to sit on your windows evenly and without bubbles underneath is challenging for DIYers who lack the necessary experience and tools. You might save money on labor by applying it yourself, but you might also end up with a film that doesn’t look appealing, prompting you to start over and spend the money on a professional installation anyway. Plus, most window film manufacturers will void your warranty if you install the product yourself.
