I wanted to cut down on sun that shines through the windows on my house facing South & East, so I called for an estimate & to see the product. I was sold on it from the demonstration with the heat lamp. The temperature from the lamp was much reduced with the film between the lamp & my hand. Besides light, this should keep it cooler, reducing energy usage. There were 4 or 5 choices of film to select from & I picked one that would not be too obvious. It's supposed to cut down on the UV rays, hopefully making it better for my carpet & furniture to be less subject to fading. Tim, the owner/installer arrived for the application date with ladder & apparatus to cut the film from a role. He first cleaned each window from the inside before applying the film. He worked window by window & completed all 6 windows in under three hours. The work is very neat. It seems he did an especially nice job on a half-circle window section in the front of my house. He cleaned- up all the paper backing from the film & took it out with him. As for price - each of the films are slightly different in price, so a job will vary by that & of course the number of & size of the windows. For doing all the windows in the house at one time - a 10% discount was applied. I did not explore any other companies for this project, so I have no means of comparison. The film itself seemed to be effective, so I was satisfied with the product.
Description of Work: Applied a tinted film to the windows in my house.

Tim arrived exactly when he said he would. He expertly installed the film on 2 sliding doors (4 panels) in our Patio Enclosure sun room and also on the full length storm door at our front entrance. Tim couldn't have done a better job or been nicer to deal with. Neat, clean, professional and personable and what a difference the window film makes in helping to keep the heat out. Excellent!
Description of Work: Tim showed us several options and demonstrated the effectiveness with a heat gun. We made our selection and agreed on the price. About a week later Tim arrived to do the job.

Great! Service was done promptly and professionally. Also had Craig give us an estimate for windows in our sunroom which we are evaluating based on our satisfaction with the tinting of the sliding glass door. The heat from the sun in our house is noticeably less with the window tinting and looks good from the outside. Windows look normal from the outside not the ugly black window effect.

Tim was very professional, and a joy to deal with. After finishing our window tint, I can honestly say my windows look GREAT, and more importantly, the sun beating that the inside of our house was taking is SO much better. This is going to make our house more comfortable, more attractive, and we can already feel that it's going to save us a lot of A/C this year! If it was possible to give an A+ instead of an A, we would have given it.
Description of Work: Tim came and did an estimate, it was well within the range we were expecting. We had what we consider to be a lot of work done. He showed us some samples as to what to expect with the use of a heat lamp and different tint options.
