Can I install my own home window tinting?

• <div><p>Installing tinting on your own home windows is possible, but not recommended. It’s very easy to make mistakes that leave visible bubbles or imperfections in the protective coating. Not only does this look unprofessional and detract from your home’s curb appeal, but it also limits the usefulness of the tint and may still let sunlight and solar heat through your windows. If you attempt the application yourself and mess up, you’ll pay more for the wasted material and the labor to hire a tinting professional to fix the issues.</p></div>

Q: Can you see through a house window with tint on it?

• <div><p>It depends on the light. If you have a privacy film installed, someone outside of your home would not be able to see inside during the day. During the evening, however, if you have lights on inside of your home, those outside will be able to see inside as the light is greater outside than inside. </p></div>

Q: Why won't my window film stick?

• <div><p>Often, window film won&rsquo;t stick if the glass is too dirty; dust and debris can prevent the adhesive from working. Make sure to clean the glass thoroughly before installing the window film. Low-quality film, which may have a weaker adhesive, might also be the cause of your window film&rsquo;s inability to stick.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect window tinting costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on window size, film quality, UV protection level, and installation complexity.</p></div>

Q: How much does a home window tinting cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/house-window-tinting-cost.htm">Home window tinting costs</a> around <b>$600</b> on average, and most homeowners pay between <b>$150 and $1,600</b> for the service, depending on a few different factors. The number of windows you want tinted and the size of those windows are the most significant cost factors, as each window and each additional square foot of tint will add to your total. The quality of the tint itself is another important cost factor to consider, as additional coatings like low-emissivity (low-E) treatment will increase the cost of the materials.</p></div>

Andrew does excellent work. He arrived on time and didn’t mess around. He got right to the job and even went above and beyond when cleaning a window that was egged. I would recommend him to anyone for any job they need done. He gets 10 stars from me 😁

We will have them replaced in January but the pre-work went really well. They came out and measure multiple times, took a window out to be sure they were ordering the right products and were very professional. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
