Advanced Film Solutions

Hiring Advanced Film Solutions to tint the windows in our apartment is one of the best decisions we have made!
My husband and I knew our electric bills were going to increase when we moved from our 2^nd floor apartment to the 4^th floor, but I never imagined that we were going to pay an additional $ 100 per month!
All of the windows in our apartment face the east so our apartment gets very hot in the afternoons. It was nearly impossible to watch our TV during sunrise and sunset because the sun was glaring so harshly through our blinds. Moving wasn’t an option so we started to look for different solutions to our problem.
Our apartment already has thick wooden blinds on the windows and I wasn’t interested in purchasing unattractive window shades or blackout blinds that completely block out the sunlight. We considered purchasing peel & stick tinting panels, but we have used them in the past and knew they are time consuming to apply to the windows and they only block a minimal amount of sunlight. After a little bit of research we found out that TECO pays an incentive of up to $ 2 per square foot of east or west facing windows that are tinted with a window film with a minimum shading coefficiency of .40 or less.
We contacted a few companies on Angie’s List and Advanced Film Solutions was the first to respond. Their quote seemed reasonable and they were familiar with the TECO incentive so they were able to bring the necessary paperwork for us to file our credit. The process was quick and they did an amazing job tinting the windows. Our electric bills have dropped almost 20% since we had our windows tinted and we can now watch TV at any time of the day without dealing with the glaring sun.
My husband paid about $ 1,000 for Advanced Film Solutions to tint ten windows in our apartment. We received almost $ 300 in our rebate from TECO and we are saving money on our electric bill each month so we think the tint will pay for itself in the next two years.

Do not hire this company, very unprofessional!!! The installer initially came to my house with only supplies to tint one vehicle. The job was for two vehicles and residential tint. The installer claimed there must have been a miscommunication with the corporate office and the sales rep. The installer arrived almost four hours late and only tinted the one vehicle. As a side not the installer mentioned the reason he was 4 hours late was because there was a discrepancy with the contract on the house he tinted earlier that day so he had to go back and finish that job properly. The tint that was completed on the one vehicle is already bubbling less than a week later. I had to call the company to ask when the installer would be back. You would think the company would be eager to reschedule the work, but not in this case. After calling and requesting to be rescheduled the company put me on the books for 10 days later (absolutely no sense of urgency). Then I received a text message from the sales rep the day before the second confirmed installation date stating the installer could not complete the work on the scheduled date so I would either need to call the corporate office to work out another date or the sales rep offered to give my the phone number to a different company. If that does not say run fast, I don’t know what does. Save your time and money.

Advanced Film Solutions did a fantastic job on my Ford Taurus. It was done in a courteous and timely manner. I would highly recommend this business for window tinting.

Just had my brand new 2015 Honda CR-​V tinted to the tune of $ 533.93. They did a beautiful job on the tint (initial assessment… not dry yet)! But they put an 1″ long scratch on the outside of the rear window… taking off an emblem I put there after buying the car two weeks ago. Looks like maybe a screwdriver was used to pry up the emblem or something. All they said was sorry. and offered $ 20.00 dollars off the tint job. This is a two week old $ 32,000 dollar vehicle that now has a very noticeable scratch in the glass. They do nice tint. but don’t back up their mistakes… and don’t make good on them! Use them at your own risk!

Though I feel a three and a half is more appropriate, they’re not a three in my book. They’re a family (father, mother, son) business who have a nice staff and welcoming attitude. I had them tint my truck windows ($ 179 for five windows and weather strip using Lumar). I won’t go out of my way to return as this experience was no better than any other tint place I’ve been to before.

Needed to get the back windshield redone with tint
Looked up the Unilocalers recommendations and this place is close to my home
Went in yesterday got the job done today
They finished early and I am so pleased
The owners are very easy to deal with and the workmanship is good

Today we had our home windows tinted. Same as the auto tint… they offer different varieties and levels of tint… some are light, dark, dark/​reflective, even offer a frosted tint for bathrooms. Our installer Donna and her son were friendly, efficient and fast. They tinted all the windows in our home in about 3 hours. We purchased a reflective film with the lifetime warranty. Offer a Angie’s List members discount. I cannot believe how much cooler our home is with the tint. Glad that we did this — can see that our electric bill is going to be so much lower, The hottest room in our home has cooled down two degrees over the last couple of hours. Get an estimate you won’t be disappointed. As a reminder — if you have TECO for your electric — they offer a rebate program with $ 2.00 off a square foot. That is quite a savings.
