Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of window tinting for my car or home?
Window tinting offers several advantages, including UV protection, heat reduction, glare reduction, enhanced privacy, and improved energy efficiency. It can also help preserve interior surfaces by minimizing sun damage.
One of the key benefits of window tinting is skin protection—especially important for individuals with sensitive skin or those recovering from skin cancer. High-quality window tints can block up to 99% of harmful UV radiation, helping prevent sunburn and minimizing the risk of skin damage during long drives. In addition to health benefits, tinting also helps keep your car cooler, protects the interior from fading, and improves overall driving comfort.
How long does window tinting take to install?
Most standard window tinting jobs take about 1 to 3 hours for a car and 1 to 2 days for residential or commercial properties, depending on the number and size of windows.
How long will my window tint last?
High-quality window tints can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or longer, depending on the film type and exposure to sunlight. We use premium films backed by manufacturer warranties for long-lasting performance.
Can I wash my windows right after tinting?
No, it’s recommended to wait at least 3 to 5 days before cleaning tinted windows. This allows the film to fully cure and adhere to the glass surface without being disturbed.

Will window tinting affect my visibility at night?
Not significantly. We offer a range of tint shades designed to reduce glare while maintaining clear visibility at night. Lighter films are ideal if night driving is a concern.
Does window tinting help reduce energy costs?
Yes, window tinting can help reduce energy costs, particularly in buildings and vehicles that are exposed to significant sunlight. Here’s how:
1. Reduces Heat Gain
Tinted windows block a portion of the sun’s infrared (IR) radiation, which is responsible for most of the heat you feel from sunlight. This helps keep indoor temperatures cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning.
2. Improves HVAC Efficiency
By lowering the indoor temperature and reducing thermal load, your air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard or as long, which directly translates to energy savings.
3. Minimizes Heat Loss in Winter
Certain types of window films (like low-emissivity or “low-e” films) help insulate windows by reflecting interior heat back into the room, which can reduce heating costs during colder months.
4. Blocks UV Radiation
While UV blocking doesn’t directly reduce energy costs, it protects furniture, flooring, and fabrics from sun damage, which can be a long-term cost savings.
Estimated Savings:
Homes and Buildings: Can reduce cooling costs by up to 30%, depending on climate, window orientation, and film quality.
Vehicles: Can reduce interior temperatures significantly, improving fuel efficiency for vehicles with A/C usage.
Key Considerations:
Type of Tint: Reflective films, ceramic films, and spectrally selective films offer different performance.
Local Climate: Tints are more cost-effective in hotter regions with lots of sun exposure.
Window Orientation: South- and west-facing windows benefit the most from tinting in the Northern Hemisphere.

Very professional, great guy, was willing to go above and beyond to take care of his customers. The warranty is awesome, and my car came out great! Thanks Bob
It’s been 3 months since I had the work done. After the break in period the windows even look better. The trimming they did at the top of the windows was perfect and tight. No bubbles whatsoever.
They did a great job for a really fair price. I got a better quality job and friendlier service than I got from other tint shops. I also paid less. I plan to take my other vehicles to get tinted from them. Bob was very professional and answered all my questions.
They left a flyer in my car that clearly explained the break in period. One suggestion I would make if you are getting your windows tinted from any service provider is to put post-it notes on all the window switches. On the post-it notes write, “Do No Open Windows for 3 Days”.
I had my Chrysler Town and Country minivan and my Pleasure Way Dodge Ram camper van tinted this week. In both cases I had a visor strip added to the windshield and both driver and passenger windows tinted.
I can’t tell you how exciting it is to drive around in a very comfortably tinted vehicle. I don’t even need sunglasses in New Mexico! It’s like the vehicles are wearing baseball caps. Bob did a great job. His shop is clean and professionally run. He’s a wonderful guy to work with, and both vehicles were done quickly and at a very reasonable price.
