It went very well. Kate, Mike, & Nick (also Harriett, on the phone) were personable & professional. We are very pleased.
Description of Work: Kate gave us an estimate, then a couple weeks later, Mike & Nick installed the solar film on our two skylight windows (only took them about an hour).

GREAT! Upon placing an inquiry, I was told the sales rep would call me back that afternoon. She did, and we set up an appointment for the following day. She arrived promptly at the scheduled time, showed us different options for the film, made recommendations, provided a quotation, and left samples so that we could get an idea of how the film might look & work. We left a voice message indicating our intent to accept the quote at lunchtime the following day. The company president returned the call, and got the job scheduled for the following week -- July 1 at 8:30 AM. The installation team arrived promptly at 8:30 on that rainy morning. After introducing themselves, the first thing they did upon entering our home was to wipe their wet shoes off with the towel they each brought with them. They repeated this act every time they re-entered the house from outside -- very impressive display of concern for our property. The installation proceeded smoothly -- amazing teamwork between the installer and the assistant. They carefully moved all furniture that needed to be moved, and were especially careful when moving the 10-foot high A-frame ladder from skylight to skylight. The whole job took approximately 3 hours, including their set-up, placing protective coverings at each location, film installation, returning all furniture to its original place, removing all their equipment from our house, and a final "walk-through" with us to make sure we were satisfied. We are very satisfied with their service and product -- there is a noticeable reduction in the sun glare in the afternoons. Objective Achieved -- plus it seems to be not quite as hot as it was in the rooms before the solar film was installed. I wish I could give them an A+ -- the entire experience was that good.
Description of Work: Placed Solar film in 5 skylights and two 5-foot wide semi-circle transom windows. Goal was to reduce sun glare during the afternoons.

Sales person Alice, who is also a hortoculturalist and got along famously with my landscaper wife, came out a few months ago to meet with us and give us her pitch. I'd already researched window tinting and decided if I was going to have the windows in my home tinted I wanted a 3M product. They invented window tinting and offer a guarantee good for as long as I own my home. After the initial sticker shock we knew the Prestige line was the way to go and pulled the trigger for June 13th. 2 installers came out about 8:30 as expected with everything they needed to do the job. I was off that day so I hung out with them 'till they finished. They set up and started to work quickly. They were knowledgeable, efficient and quiet. 2 of the windows they did were up in my great room starting 12' up and going 5' up from there. They brought in their A frame ladder and laid down a drop cloth before putting up the ladder. They cleaned the windows flawlessly and trimmed excess sealant from the edges. Took 4 hrs to get all 28 surfaces covered. I had a check ready for them but when they were done the didn't want a dime. I could pay them now if I wanted or I could send in a check later. Or I could call the office and pay by credit card. I called the office the next day and talked to the lovely and gracious Harriet who took my CC info, told me she would register me w/3M and sent me a paid in full receipt. This so amazing to me - I can't tell the film is on the window. As they finished a window I'd inspect it and I literally could not see any gaps anywhere in any of the windows. I turned off the AC to see how long it would take the sun to heat up the house. Latter that day as the afternoon sun burned through my kitchen windows I stood directly in it and was AMAZED that there was almost no difference between in or out of the sun as far as the heat goes. The interior temp barely budged after 4 hours. Until now I wouldn't be able to stand in that spot and the home was built in '07 w/all E glass ! I can't wait until the dog days of August. I can't say enough about the company and the product. In this case I absolutely got what I paid for.
Description of Work: Applied 3M's premier "Prestige" window tinting on a bunch of my main floor windows. The Prestige line is a different type of tinting that allows most of the light to come through but blocks most of the heat. I've got a lot of big windows on the east and west side of the house and the place just fries in the summer. The kitchen on the west side is too hot to cook in during the day on a sunny summer day and the AC would churn and burn all day.
